Cliffhanger is Stallone's best action 90's movie of all time! I love this film to death, it is one of my personal favorite action movies and personal favorite Stallone movies. It is practical, they are practical dangerous stunts. They are real models, the real Rocky Mountains not CGI graphic dated. The scene locations were filmed in Rome, Lazio, Italy. They are the real Rocky Mountains, tough the movie is set in Colorado, USA. Everyone of the cast even director did an amazing job. It is man vs nature vs hijackers, "Die Hard" on a mountains.
"Your friend just had the most expensive funeral in history..."
Directed was by Renny Harlin and this is my favorite movie of the director. He made so many good movies in his career that are my favorite movies. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Deep Blue Sea, Mindhunters and Skiptrace. Real good movies that are my favorite. Sylvester Stallone is Gabe Walker a rescue climber who becomes involved in the failed heist of a U.S. Treasury plane flying through the Rocky Mountains. Another movie that put Stallone in the underdog character. I would put this movie between Rocky, Rambo: First Blood and Over the Top because Stallone plays that kind a characters. Gabe becomes Rocky when he fight the nature, he climbs up the wall without his climbing gear in a t-shirt whithout his jacket. He becomes one man army after the hijcakers kidnapps his friend Hale Tucker (Michael Rooker) and force him to search three suitcases full of money. Gabe knows after they will located and get the money they will kill his friend and he has to get to the suitcases first.
In the opening scene we have attempted rescue failure when the hero Gabe fails to save the girlfriend Sarah (Michelle Joyner) and he drops her of the cable into her death. This is the first time in the opening scene we see a hero failing to save a life. "Gabe" Walker, a former mountain climber and rescue ranger. This is my fvaorite character Stallone played. The movie earned over $255,000,211 it was another year of Stallone. In 1985 Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rocky IV both earned over $300.000,000 Cliffhanger is another successful movie that put Stallone on the top of his career.
Sylvester Stallone is excellent as the lead role, his acting ability is professional and a bad-ass. In here Gabe Walker dosen't use guns or knives he uses his mind and he has to fight for survival againts the nature and criminals in the Rocky Mountains. John Lithgow was excellent as Eric Qualen fantastic job as the bad guy. Michael Rooker is fantastic as the good guy Hal Tucker love his acting performance. Janine Turner as Jessie Deighan, Walker's love interest is gorgeous and likable I like her, I really like that she try to help those people I love her. Exccellent performance ever. Caroline Goodall as Kristel was another likable actress that I like her. She was talented as the villian. Rex Linn as Richard Travers was excelelnt villian he was in CSI: Miami and Rush Hour he was great. Ralph Waite R.I.P. as Frank was another likable actor that I love. Max Perlich and Trey Brownell were great as Gabe's friends I love them when they talkwith gabe in the opening sequence. Leon Robinson as Kynette was a bad-ass henchman I love him.
The mountains I love the snow the night scenes. There was a stuntman that was hierd to jump off the plane without parachute he slide the cable in to other plane. That was for real, he was payed $1.000.000 and he did that stunt only once. You have an explosion on the bridge that explodes practical explosion. You have bats in the cave in which Gabe and Jessie accidently discover them. Actually the dialogue reminds us on "First Blood" Two of Qualen's men start fighting and Qualen breaks the off and says the fight is not here, it's over thetre.". The same dialouge was used in First Blood when Ward and Mitch fight each other and Teasle says "The fight's out here!" Great action, wonderful practical effects, excellent stunts, great direction and great acting from everyone. They are three explosions in this movie. Agent Travers shot with a machine gun a rabbit but rabbit survives in here. In the workrprint cut the bunny is shot to pieces. Stallone re model the bunny and change the effect that the bunny survives because Sly loves animlas like Jean.-Claude Van Damme. My favorite scene in the movie is fight between Stallone and Kynette (Leon) the henchmamn kicks Walker's but I love when Gabe granbs the guy hold him nad stab him like in a slasher horror movie. Even Kynette's knive looked like Rambo's knive. The bridge scene is fantastic filmed when Gabe Walker set's a trap wire off handcuffed with C4 he runs you see Sly running with an explosion on the bridge. Great choreography.
I love this movie to death. One of my personal favorite action film of all time. This is my movie my action movie it means everything to me. Stallone fan for life. I love the music score from Trevor Jones. It is Rated R for violence and language. For 1993 it is not a dated movie it come out the same year as Demolition Man, Hard Target and Jurassic Park my favorite movies of al time, they are my movies. I have this movie on Blu-ray disc I have 2 copy's of Cliffhanger on Blu-ray. In 2015 I watch this movie with my dad he loved the film too. Cliffhanger it is a thrill seeking action in the mountains. This movie get's perfect 10!
