    The first time I ever saw the internet was at a friend’s house in 1993. Her teenage brother had the internet in his room and he said “look at this, this film isn’t even out yet” and we watched as an image VERY slowly loaded. That image was…. …the poster for Cliffhanger.

    For that matter, when Lynch got the money and opportunity to film a companion/sequel to a television show that ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER he not only delivered a PREQUEL but a harrowing horror film about incest.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) is still middling but overall I enjoyed it better than the first film. Much creepier, way better antagonist and I liked the evil animatronics in this one. Cliffhanger was super meh though.

    "Cliffhanger" was originally for silent film serials. Merriam-Webster doesn't address the "why;" had cliff stunts become such a common trope? Nor do they address that how "cliffhanger ending" was eventually shortened into "cliffhanger" itself. www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/whe...

    He's by far the worst part of his best film (Under Siege). You assemble a rag-tag team of colorful villains that only Die Hard and maybe Cliffhanger can match, and rather than facing Willis and Stallone, they get Seagal.

    TIL that some of the footage from the Laserdisc game "Cliffhanger" featuring the Lupin character was from "The Castle of Cagliostro" by none other than Hayao Miyazaki! So if you played that game in the arcade back in the 80s, you were playing a Miyazaki film!! Just amazing stuff.

    Back when they showed one movie to the whole plane, I saw Cliffhanger. Most of the action is in the mountains, but the bad guys get to the mountains by high jacking a plane and crashing it. Playing that to a full cabin was certainly a choice. 🤣

    TRIVIA: '5 Days Of War' was the first war film by director Renny Harlin. After 'Cliffhanger' in 1993, Darlin planned to direct a "Sgt. Rock" film centered on the Battle of Monte Cassino in World War II, but it never came to fruition. (IMDB) 🖤
