Arnold Schwarzenegger admits he tricked Stallone into taking a bad movie so he could catch up, 'I felt like the only way was if he had a stumble'
Host: “One of my favorite stories about you guys was Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.”
Host: “Because you knew it was a bad script and acted like you wanted it. You got suckered in.”
Stallone: “Yeah, so he played me. Yes, he did. He did, and I'm stuck with that forever.”
Arnold: “So then I called Roger Spottiswoode, who was the director, who just did the James Bond movie.”
Stallone: “You talked to my director? Yeah. Oh my god.”
Arnold: “So I was of course absolutely in heaven because I said I felt like the only way that I could catch up with him is if he has a stumble.”
Arnold: “Sure enough, the movie came out, it was a disaster.”
Arnold: “And everyone was writing, 'What a day. The heydays are over for Sly.' So I said, 'Well, okay, this is now a moment for me to catch up.'”
