“It was very clear that his agent was telling my agent, ‘Look, Sly is interested in doing it, but I don’t know if it's the right thing for him. Let me know what you guys are thinking.' And then my agent said, ‘Well you know, Arnold really loves it. I think it’s fantastic,'" the Terminator actor revealed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted that the plan was to have Sylvester Stallone sign on for the aforementioned movie, over which they had a correct hunch of how the movie would flop at the box office.
