Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is a 1992 American action comedy film written by Blake Snyder, William Osborne and William Davies, directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Sylvester Stallone and Estelle Getty. A tough cop's seemingly frail mother comes to stay with him and progressively interferes in his life. She buys him an illegal MAC-10 machine pistol and starts poking around in his police cases. Eventually, the film draws to a denouement involving the title of the film and the revelation that even though she seems frail and weak she is capable of strong actions in some circumstances,... i.e. when her son is threatened by a criminal and she shoots him in the shoulder. The film received extremely negative reviews and retains a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 23 reviews. The film found more success on VHS and DVD. Stallone claimed it was the worst film he ever made. It was also the winner of three Golden Raspberry Awards for Stallone as Worst Actor, Getty as Worst Supporting Actress and the film earning Worst Screenplay.
