1	!! Trivia items
2	* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $45 million. Box office: $28.4 million (domestic), $70,611,210 (worldwide).
3	* CreatorBacklash: Creator/SylvesterStallone hates this movie so much that he's said to have punished his kids by forcing them to watch it. As the man [[http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/30869 so eloquently once put it:]]
4	-->'''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.
5	* CreatorKiller:
6	** 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 2000s and early 2010s. He did get an "in memory of" in Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2010'' years later.
7	** Creator/EstelleGetty would be restricted to ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' for the rest of her career.
8	* PlayingAgainstType:
9	** [[Film/{{Rhinestone}} Another]] crowning demonstration that Stallone cannot do comedy.
10	** Oddly enough in the Mexican Spanish dub, Tutti is voiced by the late Creator/AraceliDeLeon, who normally dubbed young girls ([[CrossDressingVoices or boys]]) or middle-aged women, but rarely old women.
11	* StarDerailingRole: For both Stallone ''and'' Getty, who both won [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]] for their horrible performances. Unfortunate for Getty, as this was her first title role. It was also her last. She did not appear in another movie until 1999's ''Film/StuartLittle'', and she only did one more film after that before she had to retire when diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia (this is the type of dementia that convinced Creator/RobinWilliams to commit suicide).
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** [[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 movie. Many years later, Arnold would admit to indeed having set Stallone up that way.
14	** Additionally, Stallone stated in the past that, while it probably still wouldn't be considered a ''good'' movie, the original script was a bit darker, and the mother character was supposed to be a much nastier piece of work in the vein of Anne Ramsey in ''Film/ThrowMommaFromTheTrain,'' but that fell apart when Estelle Getty was cast, whom Stallone described as the sort of sweet, kind person you ''wish'' your mother was like.
