The 1990s left a legacy of action films that leaned heavily on stunt work and practical effects.  Sylvester Stallone’s Cliffhanger, which is now confirmed for a sequel more than 30 years later/ helped define that Hollywood magic. This guy is still on fire at this stage of his life and career! Stallone knows his way around a movie franchise!

Sylvester Stallone is back in his role as Ranger Gabriel “Gabe” Walker from the 1993 original, and the plot will revolve around mountain climbers Stallone and his daughter getting caught in something big in the Swiss Alps. 

Cliffhanger director Renny Harlin recently shared that he hopes the film would be true to the original which never had the luxury of using digital effects.  He said it was real stuff, with real stunt professionals/ like the opening sequence with Sarah falling.  And in case you forgot you’ve never seen one of the best opening scenes in movie history here it is : Sarah’s Fall: Sarah’s Fall | Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone – YouTube (mcas.ms)
