He found out much later that Schwarzenegger faked interest in order to trick him into doing the movie.

- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was cut by 6 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of a man's hand being crushed in a door and to edit the sounds of a man's scream and crash as he is thrown from a window. All video releases were uncut.

Featured review
Well Played Schwarzenegger
Continuing my plan to watch every Sly Stallone movie in order, I come to the movie he considers the worst of his career. 1992's Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot.
Plot In A Paragraph: A tough police sergeant (Stallone) has his life turned upside down, when his mother (Estelle Getty) comes to visit him, and promptly starts trying to fix up his life, much to his embarrassment. For his birthday she buys him a machine gun out of the back of a van, and ends up being the prime witness in a drive by shooting.
Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were competing against each other at that time this was made, and Arnold faked interest in this movie in order to make Sylvester go for it. Stallone who heard that Arnold was interested in headlining in this movie, fell for it and immediately dropped everything and contacted the producers, saying that he wanted to headline. He deeply regrets this.
For this reviewer, it is the lowest point of his post 'Rocky' career so far. As with 'Oscar' Stallone is clearly trying hard, and Getty brings the fun she brought to TV's 'Golden Girls' but it misses on so many levels. It is not without its moments, and anyone with an over bearing mother can certainly relate, but I actually struggled to make it to the end, despite a short running time.
