    When should movie action stars call it a day?

    With Arnold Scharzenegger now having returned to the Movie World with his film The Stand, when should aging Action Movie Stars call it day? The likes of Arnold Scharzenegger, 65, Bruce Willis, 57 and Sylvester Stallone, 66 are all still making Action Movies and asking us to pay money and accept these guys as valid Action Stars. 
    Can these guys still be accepted as credible Action Stars? Or should they move aside and let the young guns take over?

    If viewers still love to see their action pack acting, i guess these guys had to carry on acting until they start using the walking stick. I find that sylvester is getting old while the other two, did they do botox???

    The new movies from Arnold ("The Last Stand") and Stallone ("Bullet to the Head") both crashed and burned at the box office, so I'd say the audience is sending them a pretty clear message.
    The jury's still out on Bruce Willis, it depends on how well the new "Die Hard" performs....so far it looks like it's off to a good start. That dude will be playing John McClane till he dies at this rate.

      I actually enjoyed Bullet To The Head, but The Stand was abismal! Where as after seeing Die Hard last night, I think John McClane Snr will start taking a back seat role now Jnr has appeared!

    When they're damn good and ready to retire. Obviously, there is a market for these guys, or their movies would not get made. You may not like their movies, but that does not negate their right to keep working.
