I'd go with Arnold. Both guys though are at the helm of two of the greatest science fiction series in movie history. Arnold with Terminator, futuristic cyborg sent back in time to kill the savior of humanity, and Sylvester with Rocky, 5 foot 2, 155 pound white guy winning the heavyweight championship of the world.
 
I like 'em both, and think Sly is the better actor. But, Arnie is my fav jsut cause he did such awesome movies!

My favs of his are:
Terminator 1 &2
Total Recall
Conan the Barbarian
Commando
The Running Man
 
All Stallone had was the Rocky series. Arnold blows him away as far as catalog goes.

Oh yes, Jingle All the Way has always been a classic. Come on, the Rocky series is all he had? I may be wrong but I think he played another pretty successful role as a guy named Rambo. Although Arnold is great too.
 
A tough one, can't decide.

Stallone.
He has Rocky, Rambo, Conan, Demolition Man, Cliffhanger...

Can Rambo blow up a bunch of badass T-800s in cooperation with John Connor?

My vote in this poll depends on the answer of this question.
Depends on the equipment he has...
 
Stallone takes it for Cop Land while Arnold sucks it for doing T3.
 
While Sly is probably a better actor-as seen in oscar,the final rambo, and the original rocky-I still prefer Arnold as the terminator and in the original predator.
 
As long as we're talking about ACTORS, it should be Stallone. Arnold can't act. He couldn't have done and still can't do anything like Copland or the final chapters of Rambo and Rocky which all need acting talent. Yes, Arnold had a good run of movies but he's just an action star. He's never reached the status of an actor. You can see that Stallone wanted to do something about the art. He wanted to mature as an actor. And he did. In Copland, he did very nicely opposite De Niro.
 
Stallone sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when talking and the crying scene in the first Rambo movie [towards the end] when he's talking to Troutman about his life in the past in Nam, well, fuck you needed subtitles for that scene on the first viewing. Stallone bubbling like a baby and trying to talk with a mouthful of marbles at the same time lol.

Stallone has:

Rocky.
Rocky II.
Rocky III.
Rocky IV.
Rambo.
Rambo II.
Rambo III.

Where as Arnold has:

Conan The Barbarian.
Conan The Destroyer.
Red Sonja [a Conan side story of sorts].
Commando.
Raw Deal.
Red Heat.
Predator.
The Running Man.
Total Recall.
The Sixth Day.
Colateral Damage.
Terminator.
Terminator 2.
Terminator 3.
Eraser.
Jingle All The Way.
End of Days.

Over all Arnold has a better selection of movies. And he isn't milking all of his big hits like Stallone is doing. There could easily be sequel after sequel to a few of Arnolds movies. But he isn't as desperate as Stallone. Stallone is beating a dead horse as far as his Rocky series goes. And he should have left Rambo at IV not making a number 5 as well now. Fuck that. The ending to four was a ncie way of rounding the series up and finishing it off. Stallone is a washed up BUM that needs to milk the past in order to progress.

Jingle All The Way is way better than Stallone's effort of Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. Jingle has the lovely Rita Wilson in it and the comedy and oneliners is better too.

Arnold has about three duds in his career. Hercules In New York. Twins. and Junior.

Where as Stallone has... everything else I didn't mention above.

jingle all the way, T3, red sonja, end of days, conan the destroyer, raw deal and collateral damage suck
