Arnold made a mistake. Should have done what the rest did.

@carpediem2020 When Bruce Willis made his comeback...
I don't think Bruce was away long enough for him to have made a comeback.

I agree with your suggestion about how Arnold should've made his comeback. A new Conan should've been his first new movie.

"Arnold should have just came back with a new TWINS 2, or Kindergarten Cop 2."


I don't know, maybe a "Jingle all the way 2" would have been a wiser choice.

Arnold has plenty of sequels coming up, so his fans should not worry. In a way this failure is good for him. Now he knows that his former glory doesn't automatically mean success in the present. He'll (hopefully) be more motivated now to improve on this performance.

Good point, but the guys you mention never went away. Stallone has been making movies pretty regularly, the Rambo and Rocky sequels were just the first 2 to do well at the box office in awhile. And as others have pointed out, Willis hasn't gone away at all, he's been in big budget film after big budget film without lag.

Last Stand might have done poorly, but as you point out, the second Arnold brings back one of his franchises, he'll be back on top. They are currently working on a Twins sequel called Triplets, with Eddie Murphy as the long lost third brother. And I'd go crazy if they made a Running Man sequel, especially if Arnold pumped up again for it. If Stallone could do it, Arnold can. He's got a lot of options.

A remake of On Golden Pond is probably better suited to Arnie now a days.

I think the Last Stand was a good choice for Arnold.

Things are different today than 1993. I think Sly's come back movie was Cliffhanger which was much different than Rocky V or the comedies where he seemed to have bogged down in a relative way.

Arnold has good instincts and he was working with people who were helping him out a lot in The Last Stand.

Maybe more friendlys would have died at the road block like the Seabee's in The Green Beret movie but that would have set a different tone for the film.

Actually, Stallone's "come-back was NOT Rambo or Rocky. Stallone got back on the radar with a little movie called 'COP LAND'
It was Cop Land that gave Stallone a fresh start at his career. In fact, I'm willing to bet Dollars-to-Pesos that Arnold KNEW this and decided to try and repeat Stallone's success from Cop Land.
Arnold's character is ALMOST a carbon copy of Stallone's in Cop Land. They even point out the shoes Arnold is wearing in the beginning like the camera does for Stallone's flip-flops in Cop Land.
Different motives and personalities, yes, but almost the same character. I'm betting SOMEONE wanted to replicate Stallone's success from that movie for Arnold in The Last Stand
