Sylvester Stallone movies are way worse than any Arnie movies. The Rocky series, Demolition Man (shudder).

I love the Villain! (Arnold has this huge shirt collar indicative of the 70's) Image Kirk Douglas is the most inept bad guy since... well ever (His character, Cactus Jack Slade is like a human Elmer Fudd). Arnold's character is this well-meaning simpleton who's totally oblivious to the come-ons of Anne Margaret. I like the scene where Arnold explains how this man nursed him back to health after a mob beat him up for stopping a runaway horse carriage. Why did the mob attack him? Because the carriage wasn't runaway at all, but actually the firemen on their way to put out the brothel (which burnt down because of Arnold). Image There's another great scene where Arnold tells Anne Margaret about his gun.

Arnold: I had it specially made. It shoots seven shots instead of six.
Anne Margaret: Why?
Arnold: ........ I don't know. No one's ever asked me that before.

And who could forget the Villain Song?
"You'd better,
Watch out for the Villain!
He may be headed for your town,
Watch out for the Villain!
Get off the streets 'fore the sun goes down!
He's Cactus Jack Slade,
An egg nature laid,
A trick fate has played on the world... (I can't remember the rest Image)

Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.

for starters...i really liked oscar. "you want it done fast, or you want id done right? you don't rush a verducci. feel this, this nice, it's like a baby's behind"

his other comedy i can think of is "stop! or my mom will shoot!" now that is terrible!

i also love the rocky movies. the first and fourth ones are simply amazing. hell, all of them are great, even the 5th one deserves seom recognition for being so absurdly bad starring tommy "the machine gun" "aids boy" "great white nope" morrison

I thought that Oscar had its moments. Although not many.

I think so :D
I take the fact that I've never even heard of movies like this as a sign that they probably sank without trace, and for good reason :p

@Nael Rocky isn't a comedy. Neither is Judge Dredd (it doesn't count unless it's deliberate :D ). I had forgotten (or possibly blocked out) Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot... You'd have thought he'd learn after that...

Getting this thread back on topic... Image Over at AICN, Moriarty has posted a review of the movie's script. He gushes over it:

The script literally opens with a bang, and it rarely pauses for breath between there and the final chilling image. The biggest two improvements in this chapter of the prequel trilogy are the tone and the dialogue. The addition of Jonathan Hale as a co-screenwriter seems to have made a major difference in the overall energy of the script. There's a breathless quality to it, and in many places, it feels like Lucas and Hale are offering sly responses to fanboy responses to EPISODE I, particularly when introducing Jar Jar or when dealing with "whiny" Anakin. For all of you who believe that Lucas operates in a money-insulated bubble, never listening to anything the fans say, EPISODE II should serve as a solid, resounding refutation of that idea. This is a script that seems almost overeager to please, packed full of action sequences and interesting supporting characters, cutting back and forth between several genuinely interesting storylines at once.

You can read the full article here. Bodes well for AotC!
