Arnold Schwarzenegger was among the biggest action stars of the 1980s. During his prime from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, Schwarzenegger was a reliable box office draw with iconic films under his belt. Sylvester Stallone was his biggest rival, and back then, the two couldn’t stand the sight of one another. However, by the end of the 1990s, a declining box office, coupled with heart issues, ended his first run in Hollywood.

While Schwarzenegger stepped into politics, Stallone relegated himself to hand-picking his roles. Earlier, Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about the difficulties he had with his multiple heart surgeries. However, amidst the updates, one fan asked, What if the box office rivals collaborated on Rocky IV? One of Sly’s most iconic films He even used deep-fake images of Arnie.
