When I think of the golden age of action movies, it’s gotta be the 80’s and 90’s. Growing up, I watched a lot of these movies. My favorite action star as a kid was a tie between Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal.

I think the Top 5 action movie stars of all time are, in no particular order:

1. Chuck
2. Stallone
3. Seagal
4. JCVD
5. Arnold

Who is your favorite one? Who is in your Top 5?

Arnold wins hands down: Conan Barbarian and Destroyer, Terminator I and II, Predator, Total Recall, and The Running Man. That's seven great ones and then Last Action Hero and True Lies and Kindergarten Cop were good. He was absolutely perfect in Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. Stallone killed it in First Blood but his others weren't that great and I don't consider Rocky series action movies in the normal use of the phrase.

If Predator isn’t the greatest action movie of all time, then Terminator 2 is.

It’s Schwarzenegger. Hands down. He’s the Jordan of action stars. Stallone, Russell, Willis, they’re great too. Just not as great. There’s no shame in being Barkley, Malone, or Ewing.

Kurt Russell and Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis were the only ones with any real character and swagger. Maybe throw Eddie Murphy in there for the BHC movies.

Arnold because Conan the Barbarian is an underrated masterpiece and infinitely rewatchable.
