In their 1980s and '90s heyday, action-star rivals Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzengger competed for nearly everything, including the best scripts, the best body, the biggest guns and the most kills per movie. And in 1991, the Austrian-born 76-year-old even managed to trick the 77-year-old native New Yorker into starring in the critically reviled buddy cop action comedy Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, costarring Golden Girls scene stealer Estelle Getty. Not only did Arnie get his agent to lie to Sly's agent about his desire to star in the 'fantastic' film, he even spoke with the director Roger Spottiswoode (whom he later worked with on The 6th Day in 2000).
