Okay its just called Cliffhanger. Welcome to the Summer of 1993 on Film History on Videotape! We wrap up the month of May with the R rated Stallone action classic that revitalized his career after some comedic misfires at the box office. Its basically Die Hard on a mountain top complete with an over the top ham bone villain played by John Lithgow and all the bells and whistles. This movie hold the record for the costliest aerial stunt ever captured on film and with all the real and practical shots and effects, it really is one of the last movies of its kind to be made without the use of cheap CGI.
