re: Arnold vs Stallone. Which has the better filmography/catalog.

But overall collection, man that's close.

It is, certainly from a commercial and "iconic" standpoint. It is an obvious comparison since Arnie hit the big screen in earnest.

I would likely go with the majority and give the edge to Stallone. I mean, Rocky and Rambo, even with misses/perhaps staying too long, dwarf Terminator after T2. Predator had an interesting franchise history, but Arnold was only in the first one.

Of course, Arnie cleans Sly's clock in comedy. Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior, True Lies versus Rhinestone, Oscar, Stop! Or my mom will shoot! (Does Tango and Cash count as comedy?).

Also, Sly never did (and likely couldn't have pulled off) anything like Conan or End of Days and Arnie really never did anything like Cop Land or Cobra. Some, in some areas the careers aren't always directly comparable.

Ultimately, Arnie has nothing on Sly's career as writer/director/producer or critical success. I think this makes it a little more solidly tilting towards Sly than it appears at first glance.
