Arnold Schwarzenegger gets real about what he felt after the failure of Last Action Hero in conversation with James Cameron.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron Take a Trip Down Memory Lane as They Reminisce on the Austrian Oak’s First Flop

Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger]
is a man of many credits. The Austrian Oak is an exemplary individual who has
dominated every single industry he has stepped foot in. From one of the most
successful bodybuilders to Hollywood’s leading action hero, he has enjoyed quite
a career. While the actor has tasted every bit of success there is, he has also
had his share of bitter failures. Amongst the many iconic films he delivered in
his career, there were a handful that did not perform well. And recently,
Schwarzenegger sat down with James Cameron as they discussed his flop film.

James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger are an impeccable duo. Over the years,
they have worked together on some very iconic projects together, including the
Austrian’s first flop, Last Action, about which they recently shared their
thoughts. The duo revealed their feelings about the Last Action Hero’s negative
reception on Schwarzenegger’s documentary.

Netflix recently released a three part docu-series on Schwarzenegger’s life,
covering the highs and lows of his career. While speaking about the film’s poor
performance the Austrian shared, “I cannot tell you how upset that I was. It
hurts you. It hurts your feelings. It’s embarrassing.“



The actor further spoke that he had reached his peak with Terminator 2 right
before Last Action Hero‘s failure at the box office. Last Action Hero merely
opened with $15 million in its first week before grossing nearly $50 million
worldwide.

Following Schwarzenegger’s statement, Cameron spoke that he called the actor
after the film’s release. Recalling the moment, the director spoke, “He sounded
like he was in bed crying.” However, that is not all there is to it.
Schwarzenegger during his interview with The Hollywood Reporter revealed that he
feels Last Action Hero is his “most underrated performance.“


WHAT IS THE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER STARRER LAST ACTION HERO ABOUT?

Released back in 1993 Last Action Hero follows the story of a young boy Danny
Madigan played by Austin O’Brien who’s a huge movie buff. Things take a turn for
the worse as Danny’s father dies. Shortly after, the kid is pulled into an
action film using a magical ticket.



Interestingly, the action film’s star is none other than Jack played by
Schwarzenegger. Moreover, Danny is a huge fan of the actor and the aftermath of
their meet-up is hilarious to say the least. However, at the same time an evil
villain from the movie steps into the real world using the magical ticket.
