| DVD Description Cliffhanger was a 1994 comeback of sorts for action hero Sylvester Stallone, this time thanks to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and some spectacularly rugged and vertigo-inducing high-mountain terrain. The opening sequence alone delivers what the title promises, and there's a doozy of an airplane stunt that was later reprised, with modifications, in Air Force One. Stallone, looking as tough and craggy as the mountains themselves, is a rescue climber who finds himself going after a gang of crooks (headed by John Lithgow in his bad-guy mode) who've hijacked a U.S. Treasury plane and crash landed in the Rockies (played by the Italian Dolomites) with millions of bucks. --Jim Emerson |

Cliffhanger Outstanding action and tension. One of the reasons I bought the movie is because of my fear of heights, and the opening scene in the movie, which makes me squeemish, however you spell it.
Pretty good I am a sucker for Stallone movies and this one met my expectations. For one thing, the movie took place outside and we all got to see mountain climbing prowess of all the actors. The other important factor in this movie for me was that, there was a huge amount of money involved (of course that was stolen from the government) by a evil, twisted, John Lithgow-wow, can he act evil--even shoots his girlfriend in the head!!! Anyway, movie is a climb to the top of a huge mountain to save climbing crew and money. A bit of cat and mouse chasing on the peak adds to the fun of the movie--(B)
THIRD TIME AROUND ------ This is the third time I bought this movie ---- upgrade and give away - Still don't like the violent scene in the cave [he got what he deserved] - too real and gross. I still chuckle at some comments - doesn't the viewers pay attention to the movie? Gabe [Stallone] lost his best friends [Rooker] girl in the opening - he already has a thing for the female rescue pilot [Janine Turner] [if that is what she is]
Give or take - it has a lot of action - Lithgow [Erik Qualen] is an excellent maniac - it is the money or nothing.
I thoroughly enjoyed the money chase - and the slight humor involved, bunny rabbit and avalanche - the FBI? being left in the dust - they didn't seem to have any idea that their money could be stolen. Silly guys.
I liked Gabe's apparent turn-down of Turner and then he shows up on the mountain ahead of Rooker - he may have lost his nerve but he is there for his friend [who doesn't want him there].
Great helicopter hang-up - just what Qualen deserved. Was that the FBI to the rescue??? What slow pokes.
Definitely recommend - some extreme violence but a cliffhanger -- Featurette worth watching. [this in the Collecters Series]. |
