Don't forget Nighthawks! I loved Nighthawks. Stallone stared in it, as a Cop along with Billy Dee Williams, going after Rutger Hauer, who played a great eighties villain.
Plus Rocky 1-4, Balboa, First Blood, and Cliff Hanger were all good.
But man he could make some stinkers, too!

Nope, no love for Cliffhanger at all! Having been a rock climber back in the day, I got all twitchy in the climbing scenes. And that harness just coming undone? Give me a break. Then there is the moment where the baddie holds a woman's head and shoots her with a Dessert Eagle and not one spot of blood. In real life, if had had used an FMJ he'd have shot himself in the abdomen and if it was a JHP, her head would have burst like a pumpkin ruining the closeup.

Quote:Yeah, that was hokey- like Rambo 2 & 3 hokey. Not so hokey as Cobra though, that one takes the D'oh Award. Not Sly's fault however, that leggy bitch that played Red Sonia was messin' with his head....

Well I haven't see Rambo so I can't say yet. I'll wait till my bro' gets the DVD (he has the others so I know he'll get the latest) and then watch it.
Cliffhanger did have John Lithgow as well who always made a good bad guy and could ham up the screen as could as anyone.
