Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every self-respecting action fan MUST own it.
Review: action, Action, ACTION, and... Yes, thats right, more hard-hitting action. Arnie really knows what his audience wants. I will now review each film individually. TOTAL RECALL. With perfect doses of Action, Sci-fi and Special Effects, this film is a near perfect Action/Sci-fi. Arnie acting is at its best and the supporting cast (including Sharon Stone and Ronny Cox) are all very believable. 5 STARS. PREDATOR. Another Perfect Action/Sci-fi (what would you expect from the director of Die Hard)

Everything in it (the Music, the cast, the sets) all combine to give the film a certain feel (like in the alien films) The sction and violence comes hard and fast and the special effects (by the Brilliant Stan Winston) are State-of-the-art. 5 STARS. THE RUNNING MAN. A chilling view of the world to come. Arnold is back (as he promised to be) and in one of his most violent and exciting movies. The bad guys are also some of the toughest Arnie has faced, (Sub-zero and Buzz-saw to name two) and the sets are frighteningly realistic. Might be a bit rough for some. (as with all of these movies) 5 STARS. COMMANDO. If Rambo had a Daughter, he would be Commando. This has to have one of the highest body counts of any American Movies. Non-stop Action and Laughs. (the laughs come from the classic lines Arnie gives, EG. When he drops a man off a cliff and says "I let him go".)5 STARS.

Summary: Is anyone as good as Arnie? I don't think so
Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most successful actors of all time. His films are critically acclaimed, and not just for the gun-totting maniacs........ What better way to celebrate your approval of Arnie by buying this 4-pack of DVD's.... I was really happy with this boxset, and as an avid DVD collector this is one of the best boxset's i have..... IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY BUY IT!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: you gotta be f kiding
Review: buy arnolds good movies seperately these are his bad ones(Besides predator) these movies blow commando is a rambo wannabe with acting so awful youll think humans made from stone exist and running man is the gayest movie in us history arnold must escape a gameshow were they kill u then some fat opra singer covered in christmas lights chases arnold in a dune buggy lmao its awful total recall blows too arnolds on mars in a colony running out of air youll wish they did the predator is great as arnold fights an unseen alien entity in the jungle its a great movie but you can get it seperately alot cheaper without these other terds besides what arnold collection doesnt have terminator or conan

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy them individually
Review: I don't own any of these, although they are all great flicks. Unfortunately, this collection isn't a great deal compared to buying them individually. It doesn't offer any substance beyond the individual DVDs, only the convenience of buying them all at once.

My suggestion would be to mix and match your own Arnie favorites rather than buying this collection. This collection leaves out the Terminator series, the Conans, Raw Deal, et al.

Summary: Great stuff...sort of
Review: I'm a big fan of action films and in this pack are two of the all time great action films: Predator and Total Recall. those films are classics. though total recall completely changed Phillip Dick's short story into a bloodfest, the story was still kept rather complex. in the end you still don't know if he was dreaming it or not. and predator is the best jungle film ever made, with some wonderful music creating a creepy atmosphere.

on the other hand, the other two films in this pack are weak and contrived.

Commando is a poorly done film that is just too violent. you can also see how small the budget was in this film when you can see the spring boards launching stunt actors during some bomb scenes.

and i have not been a fan of the Running Man movie at all. i used to like it, but that was before i read the book by Stephen King. Boy what a difference! the book actually felt exciting and full of suspense. boy if someone could make a film out of that, following the book closer, that would be a wonderful film. howerver the arnold version just felt contrived and very weak in both story line and acting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good value ...
Review: It's a shame Terminator2 and True Lies weren't included, but this is a really good value DVD set. They're not Arnolds best movies, but I recommend it anyway - particularly if you're looking to bulk up a fledgling DVD collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 'must own' for Schwarzenegger film lovers
Review: The picture quality is photographic and now I can hear the birds chirping at the start of Commando... bliss! Having to rent these classic movies in VHS format has hindered my full appreciation of their outstanding quality. For those like myself who are too young to have seen them on the big screen, watching Commando is a new and delightful experience. Although I am not a huge fan of violent movies, I can assure you that Commando is one of the best 'comedies' of all time with almost enough memorable quotes to rival Fawlty Towers! Running Man is my favorite of this collection only surpassed by True Lies as my favorite Arnie. And with the inclusion of Predator and Total Recall, none of the titles are 'fillers' (unlike other collections), these are all blockbusters. You'll love Commando for the commedy, Running Man for the action, Total Recall for the sci-fi, and Predator for the adrenaline rush. Other great features include: Dolby Pro-Logic sound for all (Total Recall has Dolby Digital) and both widescreen and normal versions of Total Recall. I had high expectations. I was not dissappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You know you want them all
Review: You can look up the individual reviews. Of course some individual titles will go out of stock. Others may not be your favorite. However you will have friends and relatives that will want to compare Arnold(s). A single case makes the movies easier to keep track of and look better on your video storage wall. Being DVDs this is a one-time investment. With the advent of multiple DVD changers you will be able to keep Arnold ready at a moments notice. Buying them individually can add up in shipping and handling. So bite the bullet and buy the collection.
