I was thinking of that today. In Total Recall the bad guys are a bunch of xenophobic corporate scumbags, and the Terminator ones appear to have an anti-militarism and anti-nuclear weapons message. agree?

Actually, Stallone was the guy making jingoistic action movies through the '80s, not Arnold.
Including Cobra, the worst right-wing cop movie ever made.

7. "You're the disease... |
|
... and I'm the cure."
Who was the idiot writer that wrote that line? Got to be one of the worst lines ever recorded in contemporary cinema...
:puke:
Cobra. A movie that is practically unmatched in it's level of dreck.

3. not as much as Steven Segal's movies |
|
Segal is a terrible actor, and he has a particularly stupid-looking pony tail (as if they all aren't stupid-looking), but his movies are surprisingly left wing

8. Ahhnuld was only the actor.... |
|
He shows up, they tell him what to do, what to say and they give him a check. I seriously doubt if he was consulted on the story points.

if this were a movie, he'd be fighting the repugs and showing them their evil and hypocrasy.
