Hollywood stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone warred over everything from their earnings to their muscles and the size of the weapons they wielded in their films at the peak of their action movie popularity in the 1šŸŒ³980s.

In an upcoming joint TV interview titled 'TMZ Presents: Arnoź¦†ld and Sly: Rivals, Friends, Icons', the actors said they ašŸŒŒre still unsure who had the bigger career, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

A preview of the chat shows Schwarzenegger sitting alź¦‘ongside Stallone, saying: ā€œWe ended up kind of šŸŒlike, ā€˜Well, you killed 28 people in the movie; I killed 32ā€™.ā€

Stallone added: ā€œI got to top that.ā€

Schwarzenegger then said: ā€œHe killed 80 ź¦people, so I had to kill 87 people.ā€

'Rambo' and 'Rocky' star added: ā€œIt was now the body count and then it was kind of, like, ā€˜Well, wš’€°hat was your body fat?ā€™ I was down to seven per cent.ā€

To which, SchwarzenegšŸŒ³ger added: ā€œAnd then I said, ā€˜I was down to 10 per cent.ā€™ š•“So it became a competition with the body.ā€

The ā€˜Terminatorā€™ star and former governor of California said that he got jealous of the weapons Stallone used on camera, from his ā€˜Rambo knifeā€™ to the sub-machine gunsą²Œ he wielded in the 'Rambo' franchise.

He admittļ·½ed he soon demanded automatic guns that were just as huge.

Schwarzenegger went on: ā€œAnd then he started using machine guns that were kind of, like, huge machine guns. I was running after him, he was not ruā›Žnning after me. So I said, when we did ā€˜Predatorā€™ā€¦ ā€˜Iā€™ve got to have a buź§’gger machine gun than Sly used in ā€˜Ramboā€™. So this is how it went.ā€

The two have enjoyed a decades-long friendship since they were arch-rivaā›¦ls in the 1ą·“980s.
