Sylvester Stallone Reveals the “Worst Produced” Movie of His Career: “Maybe One of the Worst Films in the Entire Solar System”

Sylvester Stallone has had a long career filled with both blockbuster hits and critically panned films. While the actor is celebrated for iconic roles in Rocky, Rambo, and Creed, he has also earned a reputation for starring in some of the worst movies ever made, a fact reflected in his record 12 Razzie Awards, the infamous honors for the year’s poorest cinematic efforts.

Stallone has openly admitted to taking part in movies he now regrets. Speaking about the 1992 comedy Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, he called it “the worst film I’ve ever made by far.” He joked, “If you ever want someone to confess to murder, just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes.”

Stallone even exaggerated the film’s disastrous quality, claiming, “Maybe one of the worst films in the entire solar system, including alien productions we’ve never seen… A flatworm could write a better script than Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.”

The movie’s slapstick humor and outlandish premise earned it extremely poor reviews, and it is still remembered as a low point in Stallone’s otherwise legendary career.

However, Stallone has singled out another film as even worse in terms of production quality. In discussing his work on the Escape Plan series, he revealed that the second film, Escape Plan 2: Hades, was “truly the most horribly produced film I have ever had the misfortune to be in.” Released as part of a trilogy, the film was criticized for its weak plot, uneven pacing, and low-budget feel.

Critics described it as a step down from the original, lacking the tension and clever planning sequences that made the first Escape Plan enjoyable for fans. Despite Stallone’s action-star credibility, the film failed to impress both audiences and critics, slipping under the radar for most moviegoers.

In contrast, Stallone expressed pride in the third installment of the trilogy, which attempted to correct many of the issues from the second film. While it still received mixed reviews, he felt that the production quality and story were a significant improvement. This distinction highlights just how problematic the production of Escape Plan 2 was, even for a veteran actor used to action-heavy, high-stakes films.

Stallone’s candid reflections remind fans that even Hollywood legends are not immune to missteps. While Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot and Escape Plan 2: Hades are often mocked, they also serve as examples of the challenges actors face when taking on risky or unusual projects.

Both films were met with harsh critical reception—Stop! currently holds a very low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and Escape Plan 2 was criticized for feeling rushed and underdeveloped.

From a fan perspective, Stallone’s honesty about his worst movies is refreshing. It shows his willingness to reflect on failures and even joke about them, rather than ignoring them. While these films may not have earned awards for excellence, they remain part of the story of a legendary career.
