Despite his status as a major action star,
Sylvester Stallone has made a number of attempts to remodel himself as a comic actor; one of his more infamous efforts in this direction was
Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot!. Police detective Joe Bromowski (
Sylvester Stallone) has just broken off his relationship with his girlfriend (and fellow police officer) Gwen Harper (
JoBeth Williams), so Joe's mother Tutti (
Estelle Getty) decides it's time to pay him a visit. Tutti proceeds to make Joe's life miserable by nagging him about his clothes, cleaning his apartment, washing his gun, tagging along on investigations, and somehow getting involved with a gun-running organization that the police have been trying to infiltrate. After this film, Stallone would stay away from comedy until 1997, when he played a cameo in another unenthusiastically received film,
An Alan Smithee Film -- Burn, Hollywood, Burn.
