I thought Stallone's comedic acting was funny in Oscar and Demolition Man.

Could Bruce Willis be counted among these actors at his height during Die Hard 2?

Demolition Man is an underrated jewel.

Yes, good stuff. I'll never forget him cussing at the machine so it would give him a bunch of tickets so he could use it as toilet paper. :D

Sandra Bullock is great too in their scenes together.  :lol:

I see "Demolition Man" and raise you "Stop or my mom will shoot!", "Tango & Cash", "Oscar", "Avenging Angelo", all of which belong in the deepest pit of hell.

What is more, though, is that when Stallone tries to play the whole funny one-liner Arnie business in his actions flicks, it often falls flat. The Expendables flicks are way less funny than they should be, for example.

Incidentally, the writer of "Stop or my mother will shoot!" wrote a bestselling screenwriting manual. Go figure.

The best thing about Demolition Man is the setting, with Stallone playing a straight man of sorts as a fish out of the water in said setting. When the main focus is in him as in those other movies it's more cringeworthy indeed.

Demolition Man? Sure. But Oscar, a bad Louis de Funès remake? Come on...

celedhring

Oscar is a crappy film. As for Stallone's "comedy chops" in it...
