Childhood Hero

[arbnranger]

Pie or comment if this was one of your childhood heroes.  I won't go through all his movies but as "cheesy" as some of them may look today...for the time they were bad ass. 

I discussed this with many guys in Special Operations and First Blood was a big motivator for many guys, including myself. 

BTW- First Blood is highly underrated, it's not as "fakey" as the Rambo series. 

Big ups to the 80's and in the pic he is wearing Ranger panties.

Back when I was growing up in the 80's, it was either Stallone or Schwarzenegger. I was in the Stallone camp.

To be honest I never really got into those movies.  Never really was into any movies back then.  Late 80's I was in high school and was more into music and hanging with friends (obviously not at the movies).

Really struggled to truly like any Stallone or Swarz movie...the are possibly two of the worst actors of all time

Neg rep to infinity, and beyond.

Seriously though.

Arnold's movies during the peak of his popularity were cheesy, and over the top, but that is the point. His action movies in the 80's were just pure swinging dick bad assery bursting at the seams with one liners. Movies like Commando are among my favorites. The scene below is an example of what I'm talking about.

Yea man that's some good stuff! I think Arnold was the king of one liners. It's weird, if you go back and watch those movies they are almost like comedy's now. It must not have been cool to look through the sites and aim in the 80's. They all just point and shoot. Ha
