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…
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…

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.

From The Terminator (1984) to Predator (1987) and Total Recall (1990), he was Hollywood’s unstoppable force—a muscle-bound hero who could singlehandedly take on aliens, robots, and entire armies.
