The Action Movie Flop That Made Arnold Schwarzenegger Break Down In Tears
Back when Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were duelling at the box office to become the biggest action star on the planet, I was always team Arnie. Not only were his movies cooler, he was also more fun to watch. Even as a kid, I got the sense that Sly took himself a little too seriously, whereas the Austrian Oak was more tongue-in-cheek, seemingly aware how ludicrous his big, silly action flicks were. Playing the Terminator in his star-making role also informed his human characters, too. For the most part, they didn't get all emotional and angry, they just went about their business blowing stuff up and killing bad guys. But nobody is invincible, however, and one of Arnie's biggest flops made the man himself cry.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gets real about aging, joint pain. Does he regret Mr. Olympia training?
In the 1977 film "Pumping Iron," Arnold Schwarzenegger famously described "the pump" − or when blood flows into your muscles during a workout − as "the greatest feeling." Akin to sex, even.
Now, at 78, Schwarzenegger says he stands by this description − but he'd like to add some important context.
"There's a scene in 'Pumping Iron' when I talk about the pump and all of this stuff," he says on a Zoom call, jetlagged after a Vatican climate conference with Pope Leo XIV. "We used sex as kind of a tool to seduce people into the bodybuilding and all of that. But… what I really was saying is that, working out makes you feel so good, not just physically… but psychologically."
