Arnold Schwarzenegger's Top 20 Greatest Action Scenes

20. Hercules In New York - Bear Fight

Hercules In New York was 22 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger's first feature film and is the only one he regrets performing in. Schwarzenegger hadn't toned down his Austrian accent at this point and because of this, all his lines had to be dubbed when the film was released, however the un-dubbed version was made available in 2000. Schwarzenegger plays Hercules who is accidentally sent to Earth by Zeus. He finds himself in New York where he befriends Pretzie (Arnold Stang) and begins various ''comedic'' adventures including becoming a professional wrestler and getting mixed up with gangsters. Zeus gets irritated as he watches from above and sends Mercury and Nemesis to bring him back. The film currently holds a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it's not really surprising as it is extremely hard to watch. In fact the only reason to sit through it is to watch a very wooden Schwarzenegger fumble through his lines with his Austrian accent. And for this scene in which a romantic horse drawn ride through central park is interrupted by an escaped bear. Luckily Schwarzenegger is on hand to take it down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWGuyo8F7MA
