** Co-writer Blake Snyder only wrote one more film, ''Film/BlankCheck'' by Walt Disney Pictures, before he vanished from Hollywood completely. He is now much more fondly remembered for his screenwriting-basics book, ''Literature/SaveTheCat'', which became the default screenwriting formula and litmus test used in Hollywood in the late 00s and early 10s. He did get an "in memory of" in Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2010'' years later.

* OldShame: Stallone called it "[M]aybe one of the worst films in the entire solar system, including alien productions we've never seen."''

** [[http://www.businessinsider.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-tricked-sylvester-stallone-2014-8 Supposedly]], Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger was meant to star in the lead role. This film was being made during a heated rivalry between Stallone and Arnold, and Stallone quickly joined the cast in an attempt to one-up his competition. He apparently realized too late that Arnold himself started the rumor of his casting and had tricked Stallone into working on this piece of crap. Many years later, Arnold would admit to indeed having set Stallone up that way.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/SylvesterStallone hates this movie so much that he punishes his kids by forcing them to watch it. As the man [[http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/30869 so eloquently once put it:]]

* BoxOfficeBomb: In the U.S.A. Budget, $45 million. Box office, $28.4 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $70,611,210 (worldwide)]].

-->'''Stallone''': The worst film I’ve ever made by far… 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''. In some countries – China, I believe – running ''Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot'' once a week on government television has lowered the birth rate to zero. If they ran it twice a week, I believe in twenty years China would be extinct.
