Every Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Back in the eighties and nineties, the thought of Schwarzenegger teaming up with Sylvester Stallone would've probably conjured the most epic-sounding movie ever. The duo were the action genre's two banner figures for much of those two decades, sharing an off-screen rivalry that drove each other to shoot for bigger, better, and often louder things on screen. Throw those two egos into one film, and the results should at the very least have been chaotic.

Sadly, it took a bit too long for Sly and Arnie to lock horns in a film, and when it did happen, the results were pretty forgettable. 2013's Escape Plan marked the third of four movie meetings between the pair (all others of which came in The Expendables series), but is the sole one dedicated to them as co-leads. While it functions fine as a low-stakes prison thriller, there's simply no excuse for it to be so grey and muted.

What should've been a ballsy, daft meeting along the lines of Stallone already accomplished with Kurt Russell in Tango & Cash instead plays out on autopilot, with Schwarzenegger and Sly straining against the confines of an unimaginative script and listless direction. It's fine - honestly, it is! - but they both deserved better than a rote prison plot and Jim Caviezel.
