Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sylvester Stallone: The great '80s action movie star ...
If you want to understand America — what we are, what we were, and most of all, what we want to be — then you have to understand Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. The two actors exemplify two of our country’s most primal national myths. Stallone is a classic Horatio Alger protagonist, rising from impossibly humble beginnings into a world of fame and fortune and triumph and tragedy. Schwarzenegger is simply the Hollywood, releasing a relentless series of blow-em-up action movies whose ridiculous excesses were perfectly matched by the stars’ impossibly muscular physiques. But which of the ’80s action gods reigns supreme? Read on for a spirited discussion about the eternal battle between the Italian Stallion and the Auspicious Austrian. Or, put simply: “ Ooouuuggghhhh? ” or “ Aayyaayyuuggghh! “ showdown here , and don’t forget to come back next week for a pair of debates focusing on the late-’90s teeny-bopping pop music scene: A boy-band grudge match between ‘N Sync and Backstreet Boys, and a pop-diva showdown between Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.)
Keith Staskiewicz (Stallone supporter): Sylvester Stallone is the underdog in this fight. He’s half-a-head shorter than Schwarzenegger, is generally mentioned second in the pantheon of 80s stars whose forearms are as big as your neck, and has little to no gubernatorial experience. But if the Rocky doesn’t deconstruct anything other than about 16 buildings, an army of mercs, and an entire island nation. I will admit that he worked with some pretty formidable talents, but I don’t know if I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was making conscious decisions like, “My Teutonic he-man-ism will certainly mesh well with Paul Verhoeven’s style of ultraviolent black comedy!” For the one-two punch combo of Conan the Barbarian was just the drawback on the first punch), he wasn’t really in a position to turn down those roles. He was just utilized well by those directors. For the most part, Schwarzenegger’s biggest contribution was lifting heavy things and then putting them down again and again for a period of years. Stallone on the other hand made his own fame with his own hands. He wrote Rocky youuu?” has always been a favorite — but the sheer steroidal physicality of his onscreen presence in that movie puts all the future whiny action heroes to shame. To me, the comparison point here is Beatles/Elvis. Sure, the Beatles wrote their own music, but Elvis performed the living hell out of songs that weren’t his. Both are equally valid roads to greatness. Except that, in this metaphor, imagine the Beatles basically kept on writing new versions of “Hard Day’s Night” over and over again, until they finally reached a miserable time period drowning in nostalgia and became relevant again.

Anyone with even the remotest exposure to media in 2004 was aware of the “wardrobe malfunction” of the Superbowl XXXVIII halftime show aired live with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. The next couple years, speculation persisted over whether repeated incidents of Britney Spears going commando in short skirts were accidentally caught by the camera or a calculated ploy for attention.
A classic paparazzi shot from the previous generation captured the scornful gaze of Sophia Loren at Jane Mansfield spilling out of her low-cut dress. Though Lady Godiva could be defined as a wardrobe omission rather than a malfunction, such unexpected sightings of the fleshsustain interest.
Basking in the limelight of celebrity provides ample opportunity for the scrutiny of pervasive paparazzi lenses. However, if you fly below that radar, such wardrobe faux pas can prove quite unsettling at the time… and don’t we all have stories. I was in a national tandem surfing competition in Hawaii years ago. My partner and I were practicing at Waikiki Beach, a gentle wave site where droves of inexperienced people rent big red surfboards and languish in exhaustion, their backs to the waves. One of the boards pitched right into us and knocked me unconscious for a moment. Next thing I knew, my partner was pulling me up on our surfboard, my bikini bottoms at my ankles.
Then there was the time I was leaving a corporate boardroom meeting. Following behind me were two men, the company president and the CFO. I felt a fluttering feeling on my legs. “I think you have lost something,” came the comment. The elastic waistband of my slip had given way and quickly slithered off, lending clear view of my choice of underwear beneath my silk skirt.
The most recent incident occurred a few years ago when I was teaching a group fitness class. As I was stepping up on the bench, doing kicks, I noticed a couple on the other side of the window to the weight room. They seemed to be laughing at me. After I finished the class I went home to change, only then to find that my black aerobic shorts had split out to reveal my white underwear.
The moral of the story: check your outfit integrity carefully before entering the public domain, color coordinate your undergarments to your outfit, and if you do suffer a wardrobe malfunction, realize that the humor value will surely follow… in time.
