Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were the two biggest action movie stars of the ‘80s, but which of these two is the best musclebound Hollywood icon? Schwarzenegger first rose to prominence as a bodybuilder before transitioning into an acting career. His appearance in the hit documentary Pumping Iron led to leading roles in blockbuster action movies like Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. Stallone, frustrated with his limited options as a struggling actor, launched his own career with his Oscar-nominated script for the ultimate boxing movie, Rocky, in which he played the title character (and earned a second Oscar nod for Best Actor).
