Yes Rocky is a better movie but i was talking about Sly's ACTION movies compared to Arnie's action movies.
Apart from Rambo 1-4, what other good action movies has Sly made?
I think Arnie's role in Terminator 2 really was the highest point in his careers much bigger box office draw than Sly but i still like Sly better as an actor than Arnie.
I love Arnies & Slys movies .
Conan 1 2 Terminator 1 2 3 End of days jingle all the way
last action hero
Tango & Cash Lock up Demolition Man Rocky 1 to 4
The Rocky films are iconic and no movie director should ever attempt to remake them infact it should be against the law
but for me Schwarzenegger wins it by a press up

I think he wanted to do the movie more straight. It was that hack director Danny Cannon who couldn't get the tone right, and the producers who felt they weren't paying Sly a ton of money to keep his face covered. Short sighted. Plus, it was the wrong story for the first Judge Dredd film; that plot would have worked better for a sequel.
I've always seen Schwarzenegger as the better of the two, he just has a better screen presence than Stallone and handles action better.
Stallone had a good spell with a large quantity of action movies, but you couldn't really tell the difference between the characters. Still good movies but he never really rocked the boat a bit, e.g. played a villain for example whereas Arnie went straight for it in The Terminator.
Plus, variety is an issue, Most of Stallone's work is mainly comprised of action and drama with his two iconic characters Rocky and Rambo, as much as I like them there is no need for endless repetition. He has done brief comedy with Stop! or my Mom Will Shoot but that didn't lead to any more. He's done a couple of Sci-Fi roles but never branched into any Fantasy movies to rival Arnie's Conan/Kalidor characters.
I just feel Arnie has the better appeal and even when people were raising their eyebrows at the likes of Junior, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Jingle All the Way he didn't baulk at making more of the same type of films, and those films have their fans as much as the action movies do.
