Arnold Schwarzenegger is revealing how he tricked Sylvester Stallone into taking a part in a film the former governor knew would flop. In the special “TMZ Presents Arnold & Sly: Rivals, Friends, Icons” which aired April 23 on FOX, Schwarzenegger recounted how he read the script for the 1992 film “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” and knew both he and Stallone would be up for the role.
’” Schwarzenegger said he then called the director of the film, Roger Spottiswoode, to talk, and then his agent told Stallone’s agent “‘he’s really into it.’” “And then of course agent, knowing that he’s competitive with me, he said, ‘Cannot let that happen,’” Schwarzenegger said. “He then called the studio right away and says, ‘Look, you got to give this to Sly. Don’t give this to Schwarzenegger, you got to give this to Sly.’ And they said fine. Sly got it.
