“He Tricked Me to Do That Piece of Junk.” Arnold Schwarzenegger Tricked Sylvester Stallone Into Making One of His Worst Movies

As a die-hard action cinema fan, I can’t help but admire the cunning and ruthless rivalry between Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger that fueled their legendary careers. Their competition was so intense that they wouldn’t hesitate to sabotage each other just to come out on top.

“The intense rivalry between action cinema legends Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger significantly boosted their careers, generating massive interest in their work due to their impressive physiques and screen domination.

One notable accomplishment in their rivalry by Schwarzenegger was deceiving Stallone into acting in one of his less successful films. The Terminator actor managed to make Stallone think he too was interested in the production, which led Stallone to grab the role and appear in this disastrous movie himself.

The movie under discussion is “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot,” released in 1992, which garnered three Golden Raspberries and was met with disdain by both viewers and critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a mere 21% approval rating from audiences and a dismal 14% from critics. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the star of “The Terminator” made no secret of the fact that he deliberately set a fellow director on a landmine.

Back then, we went to great lengths to outdo one another in our competition. Fortunately, nowadays, we encourage and support each other. I’m grateful for that, as nobody wants a repeat of the chaos from “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Later on, Sylvester Stallone came to understand that he had been deceived by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Additionally, he acknowledged that he took the role in “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” out of resentment towards his rival, aiming to outdo him and secure the project for himself.

Additionally, I learned Schwarzenegger was planning that film, and I responded, “I’ll get there first.” I suspect he tricked me into thinking I had a chance.

On Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a story about persuading Sylvester Stallone to join a less successful project of theirs, as reported by Far Out Magazine.

Upon reading the script, I must admit it was less than impressive. My initial thought was to pass on this film project. However, they reached out to Sylvester Stallone, who inquired if I had been approached for this movie. I admitted that I had been considering it, finding the concept quite intriguing. Upon hearing my enthusiasm, as he was also vying for the role, Stallone promised to do whatever it took to secure the project. Unfortunately, the film ultimately flopped spectacularly.

When Stallone learned about Schwarzenegger’s scheme, he felt determined to retaliate against him. While filming the scenes, he came to the realization that the movie he had signed up for was a complete disaster, but there was no going back – he had to see it through, despite his disappointment. He shared this sentiment during an interview on Fox & Friends.

Schwarzenegger tricked me to do that piece of junk. That’s one of those things that you go, ‘Why am I in this?’ There’s a scene they say, ‘Would you mind wearing diapers?’ I’m going to kill Arnold. I am going to find him and track him.

In a twist of events, this incident transformed into a humorous tale that action film legends still reminisce about today. However, when it came to Sylvester Stallone’s involvement in the movie “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot“, he was far from amused. Unlike his rival, who likely found satisfaction in managing to lure the “Rocky” star into this project.
