The Last Stand was Arnold Schwarzenegger's big screen comeback after nearly a decade away and is his last true '80s action-inspired movie.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand might just be his last true '80 action movie. The success of The Terminator set Schwarzenegger on an epic run of action hits, from Commando to Predator and True Lies. For many, Arnie's stardom could only have come about during that decade, when his bodybuilder physique, thick accent and unique charisma made him a movie star unlike any other before him. It helped that Arnie excelled in action roles, and had a way with dry one-liners.

He became the Governor of California in 2003 and held the office until 2011. Naturally, that ruled him out of movie roles, outside of brief cameos in the likes of The Expendables movies.
The Last Stand is a lot of fun, but compared to Schwarzenegger's earlier films, it's just not as memorable. That said, it feels like a swansong to the type of '80s action that made him famous. It's got the bloody, R-rated action, the salty one-liners and the fun supporting cast, though it wisely plays to Arnie's age. The Last Stand came out close to Stallone's Bullet To The Head, which also felt like a throwback to Sly's '80s work.
Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Doesn't Do Action Movies Like That Anymore Unfortunately, the financial letdown of the latter and The Last Stand suggested audiences had moved on from those R-rated action vehicles. Arnie tried a bunch of action movies in a row that didn't really connect with audiences, and even returning to "safe" franchises like Terminator yielded diminishing returns.
