To conclude the Stallone fanfare, we dive into all of his remaining crime flicks where we encounter all kinds of atrocious, fascinating & underseen material to recap:
*Which of these entries easily rivals the terribleness of Rhinestone?
*Why can't Sly be bothered to actually try in even the most unwatchable direct to video film?
*Which of his later entries are easily him doing rehashes of his stand-alone '80s films?
*Should Sly had tried doing more buddy movies?
*All that and why you should seek out the extended cut of Cop Land!
