On Dwayne Johnson surpassing Arnold
« on: January 16, 2018, 08:50:05 AM »
what arnold did, the way he went into hollywood, to become their highest payed star was unique and something that i think most people thought would never be duplicated.

the era of action movie stars was over, everybody was slimming down, some actors were considered too big...

in comes dwayne the rock johnson - taking the same kinda roles that arnold did - mixing action and comedy roles.

bigger than arnold, taller than arnold... and now the highest paid actor in hollywood with a net worth of $220m  at age 45 (arnold got $400m but he's also 25 years older)

A more fair comparison would be Terry Bollea.

Compare Arnold to other bodybuilders like Levrone or big Lou.

Wrestling and bodybuilding is apples to oranges.

the rock is not bigger than Arnold, I've met him in real life. He's taller but not ''bigger''

Arnie acted in a few great movies and several other very good ones.
Dwayne has yet to be in anything that is above average. He still has time I guess.

bingo

The first Terminator movie and the first Predator movie are SciFi Classics

The first Conan is a very good movie as well

Commando and Twins are both more than decent flicks

Arnold is an icon who made iconic movies, played iconic characters and delivered iconic lines.

Johnson has appeared in over budgeted, low performing, forgettable films. He even played a white guy at one point. Adjusted for inflation, Arnold earned more.

Arnold started from scratch and conquered bodybuilding, cinema, and politics. Johnson was born into a wrestling family and had a huge head start. Johnson will NEVER make it in politics.

Conclusion: Arnold was and is The Man. Johnson hasn't surpassed shit.

Arnold is Arnold. He made a sport and developed a lifestyle. He became a star and Govenor of one of the largest economies in the world, despite spending the first 20 years of his life in Austria.

He did all this without being able to speak english.
