History YMMV / StoneCold

** Renée O'Connor ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS credited as Rene O'Connor]]) plays Tinselteeth[[note]]her character's name in the ed credits[[/note]] the hostage in the convenience store holdup at the start.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Many reviews have stated that the major plot point regarding the D.A. appealing a guilty verdict and demanding a harsher sentence is impossible and against the Fifth Amendment. However, even though the USA have an unusual law which prohibits the prosecution from appealing acquittals in criminal cases, the prosecution can still appeal guilty verdicts and demand harsher sentences. Such appeals are a common practice[[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/06/05/can-a-federal-court-of-appeals-increase-an-appellants-sentence/]] all over the world.

* SpecialEffectFailure: While the film is stuffed to bursting with practical effects, but many of them are rife with technical issues. The most egregious example being a shot of a semi truck crashing into a gas station where both explode well before the truck actually hits the pumps.

* SpecialEffectFailure: While the film is stuffed to bursting with practical effects, many of them fail to land amid a myriad of mistakes and strange choices. This includes:
*** A window pane shattering well before a stuntman crashes through it.
*** clear usage of dummies (especially clear when the biker gang blows up a man with a car bomb).
*** too many examples to count vehicles exploding before they even make contact, including a gag with a semi truck and a gas station, with both going up before the truck even comes close to the pumps.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: It's debatable just how much the movie is ripping off ''Film/PointBreak1991''; it wouldn't come out until a few months after ''Stone Cold'', but the script had been shopped around for some time, had gained buzz, and was almost adapted by Creator/RidleyScott. The movie definitely does ''not'', however, hide its ''Film/RoadHouse1989'' inspirations (see the scene at the topless bar), and the opening supermarket robbery steals from ''Film/Cobra'' to the point that Sly could've sued for plagiarism.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: It's painfully apparent the film is simply a ripoff of both ''Film/PointBreak'' and ''Film/RoadHouse1989''. The movie doesn't even really try to hide that fact.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Joe's bizarre attire in particular as well as the faux-heavy metal/hard rock soundtrack are dead ringers for an early 90s film. There are also lots of bandanas, poofy hair, acid washed jeans, and boxy men's suits.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Chains Cooper]] is the leader of a ruthless [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain white supremacist]] biker gang called the Brotherhood, who live under one creed: "God forgives, the Brotherhood doesn't." Overseeing the wanton violence of the Brotherhood, including a giddy killing spree and the murder of a judge who indicts one of their members, Chains enacts a plan to assassinate district attorney Brent Whipperton during the trial of the Brotherhood member. Chains gleefully murders two guardsmen who stop him and his men on the road, sends their bodies to Whipperton, and [[{{Fingore}} shreds through the hand]] of one the Brotherhood's members after [[EvenEvilHasStandards he calls this out]]. After learning about the presence of undercover cop [[TheHero Joe Huff]] in his midst, Chains [[UngratefulBastard murders the man who sold Joe out]], shoots his own girlfriend Nancy to spite Joe, and orders Joe chucked from a helicopter and blown up, before leading the Brotherhood on an assault on the courthouse which ends with Whipperton and several judges presiding the trial dead and the rest of the audience made hostage. Viciously intolerant of any perceived threat to his freedom as a criminal, be it legal prosecution or mere questioning of his authority, Chains lives and dies a smooth-spoken psychopath willing to pile up a trove of corpses [[ForTheEvulz to jolly himself]].

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Whatever your views on the movie's quality, the stuntwork in the climax almost makes the movie worthwhile by itself.
