I don't know where they'd fall exactly but I'd rank them higher than Judge Dredd (hate Rob Schneider), Assassins, and Demolition Man.I haven't seen Creed yet.

invisible airwave Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Demolition Man That movie is the action movie precursor to Idiocracy. Brilliant dystopian future satire disguised as a Stallone action flick. I even did Leary's monologue as a project for an acting course in college.

One of the movie channels was showing that a few months back. The movie is most definitely dated as far as set direction and costumes, but otherwise it held up surprisingly well, mostly due to a deliciously over-the-top Wesley Snipes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Reading this thread, and my heart leapt for joy when I saw Nighthawks mentioned! I first saw it as a young teenager, and thought it was amazing throughout. The ending was really stellar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit name for a shit movie. Still, I can enjoy parts of it...from that fat, bald villain badly screaming, "Get in here! Come on!" to those stupid pre-arm wrestling match interviews with the contestants. And Robert Loggia is never bad.

It seemed like Stalone was trying to do Rocky as an arm wrestler and maybe it was his answer to Top Gun. This flick has got what I would call the quintessential 80's Georgio Morodor action flick soundtrack, complete with contributions from the usual suspects Eddie Money, Kenny Loggins, Sammy Hagar and even Sly's brother Frank, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallone plays a Mafia boss: I saw Nighthawks on Starz a few years ago which I recommend. Underrated Stallone and his first true action hero role with Billy Dee Williams and Rutger Hauer as the villain in his breakthrough. It was originally gonna be a French Connection 3 until Gene Hackman turned it down and then got rewritten with different characters and moved from Fox to Universal. That plot twist ending is slightly silly, though, and those who've seen it know what I mean. Edited November 25, 2022 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
