But while these two titans of cinema were very serious about beating each other at the box office, the \u201cfeud\u201d amounted to nothing more than child\u2019s play says Schwarzenegger, as he recollected all of the insanity during an appearance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UQmXb9Mtm40&amp;list=PL-i3EV1v5hLeT91DuXckUf6tsbMfLgZno&amp;index=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>2 Bears, 1 Cave<\/em> podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the whole thing was my fault,\u201d said Arnold in a recent conversation with Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. As the story goes, both men wanted to be viewed as king of the action movie genre, and were hellbent on ascending the throne, even if that meant tripping each other up to get there.<\/p>\n<p>While Stallone was wowing audiences with his physique in the Rocky movies and shooting everything in sight as Rambo, Arnold was more than keeping up with his rival, flexing his prowess in action classics like <em>Commando<\/em> and <em>Predator<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/complete-arnold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The former seven-time Mr Olympia<\/a> even duped Stallone into taking a movie that he knew would bomb (anyone remember <em>Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot<\/em>?), but the competition would bring out the best in both actors. \u201c\u2026 it was actually pretty healthy,\u201d said <em>The Terminator<\/em> star.<\/p>\n<h2>Arnold Reveals Rivalry Went Beyond The Gym<\/h2>\n<p>Competition breeds creativity, and Arnold feels that both actors benefitted from the intense rivalry. \u201cI mean the guy is really ripped,\u201d continued Arnold, recalling Sly\u2019s incredible physique. \u201cThat motivated me, then when I did my next movie Commando, I have to go and look like that too,\u201d said the star. These actors no doubt set a standard for being buff. \u201cAnd then that pushed him for his next movie when he did Rocky (IV)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, <a href=\"https:\/\/manofmany.com\/lifestyle\/fitness\/sylvester-stallone-rocky-diet-workout-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stallone is said to have plummeted below three-percent bodyfat<\/a> for his battle with Dolph Lundgren\u2019s \u201cIvan Drago,\u201d but while the two rivals were deadly serious about crushing each other\u2019s on-screen kill count, it was basically child\u2019s play joked Arnold. \u201cIt was like unbelievable for mature, supposedly grownup guys,\u201d he reflects. \u201cWho has the bigger knife?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, both men went to great lengths to out-do the other, and Arnold reveals that they would even go as far as measuring the blades. \u201cWho kills more creatively, with that knife?\u201d would be another crucial subject pondered on set. \u201cAll of this was very, very important,\u201d hilariously recollected Arnold. \u201cThen, it was like analyzing each other\u2019s guns,\u201d he continued. \u201cSly\u2019s gun in normally used, you know, on the helicopter. Since I was a tank driver in the army, \u2018why don\u2019t we get a machine gun from a tank!?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now 77, Arnold is able to look back fondly on his movie madness with Stallone, 78. \u201cIt\u2019s stupid stuff life that \u2026 he was like killing 46 people, so I had to kill 64 people.\u201d Of course, the two icons joined forces, along with Bruce Willis, to launch Planet Hollywood in 1991, and have since appeared in several movies together, including <em>The Expendables<\/em> franchise, and <em>Escape Plan.<\/em> The kill count continues for these two action heroes, and we are here for it!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/arnold-hilariously-recalls-his-motivational-feud-with-sly\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no bigger action movie icons than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, and it seems that their movies were only made better by a motivational rivalry that drove each star to go bigger and bolder.
