I'm leaning towards "Cobra". Stallone plays a real cool detective who, if memory serves me, carried what looked like a Safari Arms 1911 and drives a chopped Mercury (so far so good). But here's the "plot". Brigitte Neilson witnesses a murder on a dark street at night by a ninja type death cult. So they have to silence her. While Stallone protects her these killers then proceed to kill dozens of other people in broad daylight in front of tons of other witnesses in order to get to her. No concern about those crimes being witnessed.
What tops your list as the lamest Stallone movie? I didn't mention Death Race 2000 because it was intentionally stupid.

How could you ever forget "Stop, or my Mom Will Shoot!" . . . ? Or "Rhinestone" ? Or "Oscar" ? ? ?

Interesting question. There is a considerable list of candidates for this honor. I kind of go along with the OP on Cobra. Wasn't it Stalone that was with Dolly Parton in a little stinker called Rhinestone Cowboy? The movie Daylight was pretty lame. And all those movies staring a hoard of action figures doing some lame rescue mission or other were a lot of cool talk, some humor, lots of fightin' and shootin' and explosions, but woefully lacking in anything like an interesting story. But in his defense he has had some that I thought were good. Night Hawks with Rutgar Hower and Billy Dee Willaimas and the actress who played the 6 Million Dollar Woman on tv and Persis Kambata who played the bald headed darke eyed beauty in the Star Trek movie Voyager, I think. Lots of energy and suspense and action.

The first 8 or 10 Rocky and Rambo movies were okay but eventually grew tiresome.

In all fairness I think that most actors that have made a lot of movies have a mixed bag of hits and misses
 
The only movie he made that I liked (and that I actually paid money to see at a movie theater :eek::eek::eek:) is the first Rocky.

Other than that, I have seen some on TV, most of the Rambos, but haven't really enjoyed any of them. Really has nothing to do with the anti-gun stuff-I just don't like him.

He never seems to make a good movie unless his shirt is off - LOL! Other than the first Rocky and the first Rambo, they are all stinkers IMO.
 
Don't forget "Tango and Cash".
Teri Hatcher made that one very bearable. That's before she went for the anorexic look. Kurt russell in drag? Uh, no thanks. (Saying that out loud here in CA. is probably a hate crime).
"First Blood" is an excellent movie. then they he got super human stupid in the following Rambo movies.
 
Has anyone else seen his very first one, 1970's "Italian Stallion"? I won't give a plotline for obvious reasons. You can look it up. I saw it sometime back in the 1970s.

Oh, come on. What could possibly be wrong with a buddy-cop-thriller full of explosions, car chases, car crashes, lots of guns, shooting, cool gunplay, and bad guys? Not to mention the hip dialogue.

Except for the cars, modern guns, and explosions, it's kinda like Tombstone, isn't it?
