One Choice: ’80s Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Movies

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Inspired by the popular online game that asks people to choose one movie from a group of four, One Choice… is pretty much the same game. Readers will be given four similar movies and asked to choose one. Now here’s the catch, the other three movies will be gone forever, wiped from your brain as if they never existed. Are you ready to theoretically live in a world where you have The Empire Strikes Back but not Star Wars or Return of the Jedi? What about the 1989 Batman movie but not Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight? The choice is yours, screenager, so choose wisely.


Arnold Schwarzenegger and the action genre go together like peanut butter and jelly. The man has made a lot of classics in the genre, but unfortunately, we’re going to make you pick one to keep and three to erase from existence.

Here are the 4 Movies:

Commando (1985)

Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, and Dan Hedaya

Synopsis: A retired Special Forces colonel tries to save his daughter, who was abducted by his former subordinate.


Raw Deal (1986)

Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kathryn Harrold, and Sam Wanamaker

Synopsis: A former FBI agent turned small-town sheriff agrees to help the FBI chief infiltrate the Chicago mafia when the FBI chief’s son is killed by them.


Predator (1987)

Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and Kevin Peter Hall

Synopsis: A team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.


The Running Man (1987)

Synopsis: In a dystopian America, a falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts, runners, must battle killers for their freedom.


So, will it be Commando, Raw Deal, Predator, or The Running Man? It’s time to choose. What will be your One Choice?
