My question is "most popular", not "best action hero".... So please place your vote.

[crow2k5]

Hmmmmmm ....

Rocky
Rambo
Stallone

I would say neither right now. Stallone from 1975-1985, then 85-2000 Arnold. Now neither because they have little range and are too old to play the parts they were made for. I did not vote in the poll because there is no way to answer that poll correctly.

Stallone because he is actually putting out some movies. Rocky and Rambo were also a lot bigger in my book compared to Arnies movies. I do like them both though.

Looks pretty neck and neck...

Arnold:
Lifetime Gross Total (23): $1,621,940,362
Average: $70,519,146

Stallone:
Lifetime Gross Total (33): $1,639,909,420
Average: $49,694,225

Arnold has less movies and a higher average, so I would give him the edge. Sly's had many more bombs/flops than Arnold. Aside from Rocky and Rambo, Sly hasn't had many hits. Whereas Arnold can deliver solid performers that aren't franchise films, like Eraser, True Lies, Total Recall, End of Days, etc. Arnold's comedy endeavours have also been much more successful than Stallone's. And Arnold's a bigger star worldwide as well. Even his recent films that underperformed stateside did solid business overseas.

I love 'em both! I tend to lean more towards Sly though

I wouldn't call that neck-and-neck.

Arnie has the higher average with less movies. That means if he is put in a movie and it does average it's still 70 mill in the bank, Sly is touch-and-go with a strong possibility of putting out something that sucks.

I meant as far as total combined grosses, they're pretty close.

[ScarredLungs]

I think it depends the generation you are asking. Generation "A" (20+) they are probably pretty close. I think if you go younger, Arnold is a more "household" name.

I live in California so it definitely isn't Arnold.

That I agree with. Sure Arnold has made some great movies but ugh just thinking about him as the Governor puts a sour taste in my mouth.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

its pretty even, u cant understand what both of them say, and its gotten worse for Stallone with age

[uziel5000]

It is a very close race but I'm gonna go with Stallone simply for the fact that he has more iconic characters under his belt, even if it is just one more than the Oak. Arnold has the Terminator but Stallone has Rocky and Rambo.

[Moefiz]

Stallone for me...way more popular than Arnold now...

I'll give you Conan but I was talking characters that they built franchises out of.
