Twins<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger … Julius Benedict
\nDanny DeVito … Vincent Benedict
\nKelly Preston … Marnie Mason
\nhloe Webb … Linda Mason
\nBonnie Bartlett … Mary Ann Benedict
\nDavid Caruso … Al Greco<\/p>\n

Julius is a product of genetic engineering. He has six fathers and one mother. He is highly intelligent and extremely strong. He lives on a caribbean island until he finds out that he has a twin brother. Only that his brother is nothing like him.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nFor his first comedy he did well. But DeVito was a good partner and I am sure he he gave him a lot of tips.
\n<\/p>\n

Kindergarten Cop<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger\t … \tDetective John Kimble
\nPenelope Ann Miller\t… \tJoyce Palmieri \/ Rachel Crisp
\nPamela Reed\t… \tDetective Phoebe O’Hara
\nLinda Hunt\t… \tMiss Schlowski
\nRichard Tyson\t… \tCullen Crisp, Sr.
\nCarroll Baker\t… \tEleanor Crisp
\nJoseph Cousins\t … \tDominic Palmieri \/ Cullen Crisp, Jr.
\nChristian Cousins\t… \tDominic Palmieri \/ Cullen Crisp, Jr.<\/p>\n

Detective John Kimble Has been trying to arrest the drug gangster Crisp for quite some time now. Now he gets the chance, he has just to find his ex-wife, who went into hiding with their son. But for this he has to work undercover in a kindergarten.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nMy favourite comedy of Arnie’s alongside with True Lies<\/em>. Everytime I watch this I find it amusing how he tries to get control over this little horde. That aside I think it’s a good idea to use twins as a single character. This way the kids don’t overwork themselves and the audience can’t tell the difference.<\/p>\n

Last Action Hero<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger\t … \tJack Slater \/ Himself
\nF. Murray Abraham\t… \tJohn Practice
\nAustin O’Brien\t… \tDanny Madigan
\nArt Carney\t… \tFrank
\nCharles Dance\t… \tBenedict
\nFrank McRae\t… \tLieutenant Dekker
\nTom Noonan\t… \tRipper \/ Himself
\nRobert Prosky\t… \tNick
\nAnthony Quinn\t… \tTony Vivaldi
\nMercedes Ruehl\t… \tIrene Madigan
\nIan McKellen\t… \tDeath<\/p>\n

Danny is a movies fan and his greatest hero is the Cop Jack Slayter, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. When Danny gets the chance to watch Slater IV in a small theatre before the premiere evening, he takes this chance. But suddenly is is in the movie instead of just watching it.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nI don’t know if it was on purpose or not, but some parts of that movie, e.g. the mix-up between the virtual character and the real actor and the oversized figure did remind me of The Hard Way<\/em>. Nonetheless I liked it, especially the references to “flesh wounds” and “neverending magazines” for guns.<\/p>\n

True Lies<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger … Harry Tasker
\nJamie Lee Curtis … Helen Tasker
\nTom Arnold … Albert Gibson
\nBill Paxton … Simon
\nCharlton Heston … Spencer Trilby
\nTia Carrere … Juno Skinner
\nArt Malik … Salim Abu Aziz
\nEliza Dushku … Dana Tasker<\/p>\n

Harry Tasker pretends to be a computer system salesman who travels a lot and attends fairs. At home he as a loving wife and a pubertal daughter. But Harry doesn’t go on business travels of the usual kind. Harry is an secret agent who works for Omega Sector and one day his family is dragged into his second life.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nThe movie works very well because it doesn’t take itself seriously. The action spiced up with the humour is excellent. And seven years before 9\/11 the Arabs-are-bad-terrorists-plot has not been used ad nauseam.<\/p>\n

Junior<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger … Dr. Alex Hesse
\nDanny DeVito … Dr. Larry Arbogast
\nEmma Thompson … Dr. Diana Reddin
\nFrank Langella … Noah Banes
\nPamela Reed … Angela<\/p>\n

Dr. Hesse and Dr. Arbogast have developed a medicine that helps on difficult pregnancies. Pregnancies of women who had previous miscarriages. They tried in on monkeys but the FDA denies them the possibility to test it on woman. To escape this dilemma they induce a Expectane-based pregnancy in Dr. Hesse.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nAside from the fact that it wouldn’t work in a man with or without Expectane (in lack of an uterus and an umbilical cord) it was amusing to see the giant Schwarzenegger being pregnant with Skeletor<\/a> right on his tail.<\/p>\n

Jingle All the Way<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger … Howard Langston
\nSinbad … Myron Larabee
\nPhil Hartman … Ted Maltin
\nRita Wilson … Liz Langston
\nRobert Conrad … Officer Hummell
\nMartin Mull … D.J.
\nJake Lloyd … Jamie Langston
\nJames Belushi … Mall Santa<\/p>\n

The only thing Howard Langston has to think about is getting his son a “Turbo Man” doll, the most wanted present this year. But he blows it and he tries to get one on Christmas Eve – a Mission Impossible.<\/p>\n

My opinion:<\/strong>
\nThis one I didn’t like that much, mainly because of the absurd action sequence at the end and the little “Annie”<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
