While action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had a reasonably
successful foray into family comedy, traipsing into the same genre wasn't quite the same for Sylvester Stallone, who had already seen his previous film bomb before appearing in this
ridiculous vehicle which paired him with one of TV's Golden Girls, Estelle Getty.
Getty plays the overbearing mother to Stallone's LAPD
police officer, assisting him with solving a murder and rekindling the relationship with his girlfriend.
Sylvester Stallone has often said that this is the worst
film in which he has appeared. After that kind of negative endorsement, upon which I wholeheartedly agree, nothing else can really be said.
