Collection of five films starring Sylvester Stallone. In
'Assassins' (1995) professional hitman Rath (Stallone) decides it's
time to call it a day, even though he is still the best around. But
as he searches for a way out he discovers that he is now the target
of another assassin, Bain (Antonio Banderas), who is determined to
be the new number one. The two men are both sent on an assignment
to kill intelligence operative Elektra (Julianne Moore). However,
Rath decides to flee with Elektra and outwit Bain. In 'The
Specialist' (1994) US demolition expert Ray Quick (Stallone)
attempts to abort the assassination of a South American drugs baron
when he realises innocent children will be killed in the explosion.
However, his partner (James Woods) goes ahead with the mission,
leaving the duo permanently estranged and Quick psychologically
scarred. Years later, a beautiful woman (Sharon Stone) asks Quick
to come out of retirement to kill a Cuban drug lord who has
murdered her father. Quick initially refuses, but is soon drawn
into a plot that brings him in contact with his ex-partner once
again. In 'Tango and Cash' (1989) two mismatched cops, one
sharp-suited (Stallone), the other a slob (Kurt Russell), are
thrown together when they are framed by a big-shot gun-runner (Jack
Palance). They are put in prison, duly escape, and then attempt to
clear their names whilst trying to track down a massive haul of
weapons before they get shipped abroad. In 'Demolition Man' (1993)
LA cop John Spartan (Stallone), nicknamed 'Demolition Man' due to
his hands-on approach to law enforcement, is condemned to 70 years
in the penal freezer after being set up by Simon Phoenix (Wesley
Snipes), Public Enemy Number One. Halfway through his sentence,
however, both he and Phoenix are catapulted out of captivity,
discovering their city has been transformed into a peaceful utopia,
under the benevolent rule of mayor Dr Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne). As
a mysteriously pumped-up Phoenix carries on where he had left off
35 years earlier, Spartan teams up with a comparatively feisty cop
(Sandra Bullock) to bring him to justice and expose the man who is
engineering the whole scenario. In 'Cobra' (1986) a tough detective
known as Cobra (Stallone), is assigned to protect a beautiful model
(Brigitte Nielsen), the only witness to a series of brutal murders.
It transpires that the killings are not the work of one lone
psychopath but rather a highly organised army of neo-fascists.
Harold has a vivid imagination and when he stumbles upon a genie
that will grant him three wishes, he begins to think about all the
wild and wonderful things he would wish for. But he learns that
having three wishes can be confusing and even make other people
think you are a little bit weird. He also learns that wishes can be
made accidently and can create conflict when other people's needs
get in the way. He also realizes that to know a wish will really
come true makes the decision of what to wish for very difficult,
especially when you are not certain that things happened because of
your wishes or if it was all your imagination.
