50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst

7) CLIFFHANGER (1993)

You gotta hand it to Renny Harlin.  The guy followed up probably the greatest action movie of all time with a sequel that people didn’t hate.  In fact, people love Die Hard 2: Die Harder.  Has Willis topped it since?  Arguably not.  Harlin’s follow up to to Die Hard 2, a movie called ‘Gale Force’, was supposed to be an action thriller set in a small town, where Sylvester Stallone would hold off murderous criminals in the midst of a storm.  That movie fell through.  And then we got Cliffhanger, a nice shot in the arm for Stallone’s career which was struggling with a series of comedic flops.  He had to revert to form with some manly action.  And boy did Cliffhanger deliver.

It’s unique in a lot of ways.  And in some ways it isn’t.  It’s Die Hard on a mountain, but who cares.  At the time of its release in 1993, it was Stallone’s best movie since 1986 when Cobra came out.
