I rewatched Cliffhanger and counted every second that Stallone hangs from things
I love Cliffhanger, it’s one of my favorite action films, and it’s aged beautifully since 1993. Between Renny Harlin’s direction, the on-location shoot in Italy, and the inspired performances from John Lithgow, Michael Rooker, Sylvester Stallone, and Rex Linn, it’s aged like a fine Italian wine. While watching the movie again, I really wanted to know how much time Stallone spends hanging from various items. So, I used timestamps and a stopwatch to clock the times, and I came up with the following graphic. It’s neat knowing that he spends more time hanging from a ladder than he does on cliff faces.
Quick Definition – Hanging – suspend or be suspended from above with the lower part dangling free.
Basically, in the beginning of the film, Stallone is attached to a cable, and his legs are wrapped around it. This isn’t considered hanging. It’s conderied hanging when he’s climbing on the side of a mountain, loses his footing, and he grips a piece of rock in hopes of not falling to his death. Take a look at the image below, and you’ll have a solid idea of what I mean.
