Los Angeles - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Sylvester Stallone on the set of the sixth Rocky being filmed outside Los Angeles, according to the governor's press office.
Schwarzenegger gave Stallone a "certificate of recognition" for filming in California, as other producers look to film in other US states or overseas locales to cut costs.
The governor and former action hero is trying to keep the film industry in its traditional home, around Hollywood.
He recently visited his partner in the film Twins, Danny DeVito, under similar circumstances.
Schwarzenegger and Stallone were action stars of the 1980s and 1990s, but never worked together.
Schwarzenegger, 58, launched a political career. Stallone, 59, stuck with his original franchise; after wrapping up the sixth Rocky, he plans a fourth Rambo.
