4. Comedy 
Jingle All The Way (1996)
As a movie (and a poster producer), Jingle All The Way isn’t Arnie’s finest work – but it did bring about Swede Mason’s immortal 'Jungle All The Way' remix, and for that at least, we must be grateful. Here Arnold pulls perhaps his best comedy poster face, communicating his overriding emotion – "GAAAAAAAH!" – with just his eyes, eyebrows, mouth and hands. | | 
Kindergarten Cop (1990)
Never has a poster-topping SCHWARZENEGGER looked less manly; never has poster Arnold looked more scared. This, ladies and gentlemen, was the movie that kicked off the Arnie ‘90s comedy phase, hoovering up over $200m at the box office – just over double Predator’s haul in 1987. | | 
Junior (1994)
A rare one, this – not only is there a pregnant man here, but also three equally credited stars, including Danny DeVitro DeVito, with Arnie only taking precedence in the order and in the sheer vastness of his surname. Also, as far as Arnie taglines go... this ain’t too bad. |

Twins (1988)
With Danny DeVito obeying the 'Arnie must be bigger' poster rule with consummate ease, the poster for Twins is a lot like Arnold’s character in the film: quiet, sweet and surprisingly clever. Bizarrely, the names of DeVito and Schwarzenegger’s characters, Julius and Vincent, were reused in – you guessed it – Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Just imagine Arnold bellowing: “Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more goddamn time!” Go on, imagine it. We dare you. Double dare you, in fact. |
