You gotta see it if you haven't yet - or see it again if you have. It's a fun movie and I think it's really cool that Arnold made this movie, sort of a "kids-don't try this at home!" moral to it.
I really like that movie. Another good one he made is "True Lies". He never takes himself too seriously like some of the others.Hazel

Pretty much all of them in the classic "Action" genre. Stallone, Van Damme, Segall, etc.
In fact, within that specific group of actors, I'd say Arnold is the best.

They probably are. They seem nice enough in interviews, anyway. But they still can't act very well.

Chuck Norris
I love his slogans^^
"When Chuck Norris does push ups, he doesn't push himself up. He pushes down the earth!"
But, I would say, stallone, van Damme, Arnie and so on are all good Action heroes
