In the 1980s, Hollywood had two action superstars competing for the top spot. Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone ruled the box office with their action films. The two stars were often pitted against each other. Years later, Schwarzenegger has admitted that he went head to head in a heated rivalry against actor and 'enemy' Sylvester Stallone.&nbsp; 
 
"I always need an enemy," Schwarzenegger, 75, revealed during his Netflix documentary, Arnold.&nbsp;"Every time he came out with a movie, like Rambo II,&nbsp;I had to figure out a way of now outdoing that."&nbsp;Schwarzenegger worked on Commando in 1985, soon after Stallone's Rambo II released.&nbsp; 
 
"We were incredibly antagonistic. We couldn’t even stand to be in the same room. People had to separate us," Stallone, 76, recalled in the documentary. 
 
Stallone compared their rivalry to&nbsp; Ali versus Frazier, but called himself the underdog who "got my ass kicked constantly". According to Stallone, Schwarzenegger typically emerged from his cinematic exploits with barely a scratch. 
 
"Arnold started to come on strong… (we were) great warriors that are travelling the same course. There was only room for one of us," Stallone confessed. 
 
"We were competing about everything," Schwarzenegger admitted. "The body being ripped and oiled up. Who is more vicious? Who is more tough? Who uses bigger knives? Who uses bigger guns?" 
 
Stallone admitted that despite the stiff competition, his films eventually got knocked out by Schwarzenegger at the box office.&nbsp;

"He wanted to be number one. Unfortunately, he got there," Stallone laughed. 
 
"Sly and I were at war… Without Stallone, I maybe wouldn’t have been as motivated during the ‘80s to do the kind of movies I did and work as hard as I did." 
 
Although Schwarzenegger and Stallone’s relationship got off to a rocky start, it did not remain rocky forever.&nbsp; 
 
In fact, the two Hollywood legends eventually shared screen space in movies like Escape Plan and The Expendables franchise.&nbsp;Schwarzenegger and Stallone are currently working on The Expendables 4 together, which is set to release later in September this year.&nbsp; 
 
Schwarzenegger’s documentary, Arnold is available to stream on Netflix.

Arnold Schwarzenegger addresses his rivalry with Sylvester Stallone: I always need an enemy

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Hart feature in a list of Los Angeles residents accused of using excessive amounts of water amid the ongoing drought.&nbsp; 
 
The list was procured by the Los Angeles Times from the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District and consists of names of 2000 residents who have been using excessive amounts of water.&nbsp;

According to reports, several celebrities have already been issued "notices of exceedance" stating that they had surpassed 150 per cent of their monthly water budget at least four times since the district issued new rules to combat the drought at the end of last year. 
 
The notices were sent out in May and June and stars like Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Sylvester Stallone and former NBA star Dwyane Wade received the notices.

Nearly 97 per cent of Los Angele state is reportedly facing severe drought. This year has been declared as the fourth driest year in the last 128 years. As a result in June, Las Virgenes declared a series of 'stage 3' restrictions in the area. Residents have been asked to limit outdoor water usage by one day.&nbsp; 
 
That month, two properties listed under a trust that is associated with Kim received excessive water notices, showing that her Hidden Hills home exceeded its June water budget by roughly 232,000 gallons. 
 
Kim's sister Kourtney was also criticised for being 245 per cent over budget last month at her home. 
 
Hart meanwhile, has used 519 per cent over budget in June. Wade and his wife exceeded their water budget by a whopping 1400 per cent in June. Not just that, the couple exceeded the budget by 489,000 gallons in May as well.&nbsp; 
The couple later issued a statement saying they were "doing everything we can to rectify the situation and will continue to go to extensive lengths to resolve the issue." 
 
Meanwhile, Stallone's property reportedly used up 230,000 gallons more than the permissible limit.&nbsp; 
 
Stallone's attorney, Marty Singer, said in a statement to the Times that the numbers "mischaracterize and misinterpret the situation regarding the water usage at my client's property. The attorney mentioned that the actor has roughly 500 trees on his property that need water. "My client has been addressing the situation responsibly and proactively."

Mike McNutt, a spokesperson for Las Virgenes, told the Times that they are asking these celebrities to reduce their water usage as the city struggles to get a grip on the drought. According to McNutt celebrities inspire others and so it is important for them to lead the change.&nbsp;
