Continuing my plan to watch every Arnie movie in order, I come to his cameo in Around The World In 80 Days.
Plot In A Paragraph: A bet pits a British inventor (Steve Coogan) a Chinese thief (Jackie Chan), and a French artist (Cecile De France) on a worldwide adventure that they can circle the globe in 80 days.
A lot of your enjoyment of this movie will depend on how funny you find Jackie Chan's slapstick routine and Steve Coogan. I love Coogan as Alan Partridge, but most of his other stuff is hit and miss at best. As for Chan, I have not enjoyed anything he has done in a long time.
Arnie turns up about 40 mins in, as Prince Hapi, the man with 6 wives and whose favourite thing in the world, is a giant statue of himself. Hamming it up more than he ever has, Arnold is clearly enjoying himself and is a lot of fun. He is the only bright spot in an otherwise dull affair.
Around The World In 80 Days is strictly for people who don't go to the cinema, and stay at home watching movies on DVD and TV.
Around The World In 80 Days grossed $24 million at the domestic Box Office and ended the year the 97th highest gross in movie of the year.
