Clarification: Stop or My Mom Will Shoot

Recommended Posts

During this issue Jason asks "what's up with the "I'll be back" reference?" In the 90s there were some cross references between Arnie and Sly in their comedies off the top of my head I can think of:

* Demolition Man mentions "President Schwarzenegger"

* Tango & Cash references Conan The Barbarian

* True Lies references Rambo

* Rambo poster prominently featured in Twins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yT723LG74o

 

As you can see it was a running gag.

Also, The Last Action Hero features an alternate dimension where Stallone starred in the Terminator series. That and a cartoon fucking cat.

That's amazing! I wonder why those two never did an action movie in their prime. It was fun seeing them in the Expendables, but let's face it, they're both old men now and its not nearly as fun to watch an old man do stunts and kick ass. For further examples, look to "Red" and the last Indiana Jones movie.

I read that Tango & Cash was originally written for Arnie and Sly, but Arnie couldn't do it due to schedule conflicts.

 

I also saw that Sly is scheduled for the sequel to Twins, Triplets. Not particularly looking forward to that one even though I enjoyed Twins.
