If you grew up in the ‘90s, Batman & Robin is likely burned into your memory—and not just because of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s endless barrage of ice puns. Joel Schumacher’s infamous sequel to Batman Forever (1995) is widely regarded as one of the worst superhero movies ever made, a neon-lit fever dream that took the campiness of Adam West’s Batman TV series, cranked it to 11, and…
Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be the first actor you’d think of for a holiday comedy, but Jingle All the Way proves he can do more than fight aliens and crush robots. Coming off his action-packed career highs in True Lies (1994) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Schwarzenegger trades guns for gifts in this family-friendly romp. The result is a movie that’s undeniably goofy, occasionally charming,…
By 1996, Arnold Schwarzenegger was firmly established as one of the greatest action stars of all time. With films like The Terminator (1984), Predator (1987), and True Lies (1994), Arnold had set the standard for larger-than-life action heroes who delivered thrills, explosions, and unforgettable one-liners. Eraser, directed by Chuck Russell (The Mask, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3), attempts to continue that legacy with a high-concept…
When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career, “unexpected” is a word that pops up more often than you’d think. From action-packed juggernauts like The Terminator (1984) to family-friendly comedies like Kindergarten Cop (1990), Arnold has always been willing to take risks, and nowhere is that more evident than in Junior (1994). Directed by Ivan Reitman, who helmed Arnold’s earlier comedies Twins (1988) and Kindergarten Cop, Junior…
Es ist 1994 – oder war es doch 1995? Manchmal verschwimmen die Erinnerungen, aber das Gefühl, das bleibt, ist klar und lebendig. Es war der Anfang einer Zeit, die so prägend, so intensiv und voller unvergesslicher Momente war, dass ich sie noch heute vermisse: meine Jahre an der Odenwaldschule. Damals war ich der einzige Siebtklässler im Pestalozzi-Haus. Warum genau? Das weiß ich heute nicht mehr so…
When it comes to ranking Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best movies, True Lies (1994) rightfully earns its place as the fourth-best of all time, just behind Predator (1987), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), and Total Recall (1990), and slightly ahead of the action extravaganza Commando (1985). Directed by James Cameron, the same visionary filmmaker behind T2, True Lies is a thrilling, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt action-comedy that feels…
When Last Action Hero hit theaters in 1993, Arnold Schwarzenegger was at the height of his stardom. Coming off massive hits like Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Total Recall (1990), he was Hollywood’s most bankable star, synonymous with over-the-top action, larger-than-life heroes, and unforgettable one-liners. Naturally, a movie that satirized those very tropes, starring Arnold himself, seemed like a recipe for success. But when Last…
John Woos Hard Boiled (1992) ist ein Film, der wie ein Inferno beginnt, dann eine Pause einlegt, um noch mehr Benzin ins Feuer zu kippen, und schließlich in einem über 30-minütigen Showdown explodiert. Es ist der letzte Film, den Woo in Hongkong drehte, bevor er nach Hollywood ging – ein Abschiedsgeschenk an das Actionkino, das sich als eine der einflussreichsten Schöpfungen des Genres herausstellen sollte. Ohne…
When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s illustrious filmography, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) isn’t just a highlight—it’s a cinematic milestone. Sitting proudly as the second-best Arnold movie of all time, behind only the primal brilliance of Predator (1987) and edging out the mind-bending Total Recall (1990), T2 is a rare sequel that doesn’t just surpass its predecessor—it redefines an entire genre. Directed by James Cameron, T2…
