Some definitely were (Arnold and 'The Body'). Others probably were not. One can reach a great level of fitness w/out steroids

i thought adrien brody was actually pretty good, but his voice was too forced on several occasions. he got in amazing shape for that as well. didn't look too steroidy as well.

Admittedly if I watched it on mute I could give him some sort of acknowledgement. But that voice was just sooooooooooooooooooo s*** that it ruined the whole performance. Couldn't help but think "wannabewannabewannabewannabewannabewannabewannabewannabetryhard."

Yes.

Also, Predator is a better movie than the modern film. That being said, they were both pretty good.

The 1980ties were the time when action heroes were supposed to look muscular and manly, thus steroids were probably used aswell as gallons of baby oil.

@TheHighWind: I agree, Predator 2 was actually a very good movie in my opinion.

I'm more concerned about you liking Predators, shame on you. It can't even come close to the original.

Probably, but that just makes the movie so much more awesome. All the action stars of today are little girly men (except the Rock, that guy's a beast) compared to the guys in predator.

I find it hard to believe action movies (get into them, obviously they are not really 'believable') when the leads are smaller than me. If I can kick your ass, then you have no business being in an action movie GTFO :x

i don't see how steroids make anyone more manly.....i think it's pretty pathetic. it's funny to look back on it now, but it looks unnatural and pretty stupid.

as in the expendables, while jet li was the littlest (and i'm sure the least toned), he was the only (bar statham) proper martial artist. he's kick stallones ass no problem.

You enjoyed Predators more? seriously? that is the most obvious, unoriginal movie i've ever seen, I guessed everything that happened in it and it was just painful and boring, Predator is a million times better.

In the 70's and 80's a lot of people took steroids.

Predator is my fav action movie of all time by far and i loved predator 2 and predators lol it was like the same as predator i still enjoyed it but adrien brodies voice just LOL

As for the steroid thing none of the actors in Predator took steroids around the time of the movie Arnie only took em after he stopped proffesional body building for awhile around a few years before predator to just maintain the muscle and let him work it down to a easier to maintain body so he could do movies, Carl Weathers was just buff from coming off the Rocky movies, Jesse Ventura was buff from because of working out every day for wrestling and Billy was just some1 who worked out none of them took steroids for the movie.

PREDATOR FTW

Also i would pay $300 a ticket to see Expendables 2 with Arnie,Bruce and Sly team up to take down Steven Seagal, Jean-claude Van Damme, Dolf lundrenn and Alan Rickman.

That film is a classic, it's so awesome in so many ways. When Arnold puts his sun glasses on, when he smokes his cigar, when he does the badass handshake. One of the coolest films ever. :lol:

Steroids were highly used in the 80's so Jesse the Body yes, Arnold yes, Apolla, probably. Oh by the Way Predator > Predators > Predator 2.

Because being a real man is all about showing off your abnormally large biceps right? Give me a break. Leonardo Dicaprio, Daniel Craig, Mat Damon, even Keanu Reeves are better action stars than any of those REAL MEN.
