The renowned action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has a distinguished career in Hollywood.
Schwarzenegger’s regret is his role in the 1985 film Red Sonja. Even the most successful performers, though, have their fair share of regrets. Although it has gained cult status since, the movie is still one of Schwarzenegger’s biggest letdowns. With its weak plot and awkward casting, Red Sonja failed to connect with viewers when it was first released. In comparison to its $17.9 million budget, it only managed to generate $6.9 million at the box office. Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he even punished his kids by making them watch this career-ending movie.

Pumping Iron, a 1977 bodybuilding documentary that exhibited Schwarzenegger’s burgeoning star power, marked the beginning of his Hollywood career. From there, he rose to popularity thanks to well-known parts in films like Commando, Predator, and the Terminator series. Even the undisputed ruler of Hollywood, though, faced challenges along the way. One of Schwarzenegger’s scariest films, Red Sonja stands out as almost ruining his career owing to harsh reviews and low box office results.
The film’s lacklustre plot received harsh criticism, and its commercial failure had a long-lasting effect. Schwarzenegger referred to the movie as the worst he had ever produced and expressed disgust for his involvement in it. Schwarzenegger claimed in a tongue-in-cheek manner that he mock-punished his kids by making them watch Red Sonja. “I have my children watch Red Sonja ten times in their rooms when they misbehave. I never had too many issues with them, he jokingly said.
Schwarzenegger was able to rebound from Red Sonja’s failure and move up the corporate ladder despite it. He is now regarded as one of history’s greatest action heroes. But the movie is still a colossal failure and a big regret in his Hollywood career.
