Netflix documentary “Arnold,” in which he admitted that the Austrian-American actor is the better action star between the one-time rivals.“The ’80s was a very interesting time because the definitive ‘action guy’ had not really been formed yet,” Stallone explained.“Up until that time, action was a car chase like ‘Bullitt’ or ‘The French Connection,’ and a film all about intellect and innuendo and verbal this and verbal that,” he recalled.Stallone then admitted that Schwarzenegger, 75, was a pioneer of the fist-pumping genre, noting that “dialogue was not necessary” in order to tell a story. “You actually relied upon your body to tell the story,” the “First Blood” actor said, before calling him the higher-caliber artist of the two.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director In Netflix’s upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary series “Arnold,” the actor and former California governor somewhat apologizes for groping women in the past (via Rolling Stone). Five days before the 2003 California governor election, the Los Angeles Times published a report in which six women accused Schwarzenegger of groping and humiliating them. Schwarzenegger said at the time the reports were “made-up” and he “never grabbed anyone,” though he also admitted he “behaved badly sometimes” in the past. “My reaction in the beginning, I was kind of…defensive,” Schwarzenegger now says in the three-part Netflix documentary series. “Today, I can look at it and kind of say, it doesn’t really matter what time it is. If it’s the Muscle Beach days of 40 years ago, or today, that this was wrong. It was bullshit. Forget all the excuses, it was wrong.”
