The British tabloids are reporting that Sylvester Stallone wants to revisit his rock-climber character Gabe Walker from 1993's "Cliffhanger".

One of Stallone's better action films outside of the Rocky/Rambo franchises, the original Renny Harlin-directed thriller took in $255 million worldwide off a $65 million budget and received praise for the two memorable action/suspense sequences that start the film.

Still, plans for a sequel in the late 90's were scrapped due to the star's dwindling box-office appeal. Now, with Rocky and Rambo having made successful returns, talk of the sequel entitled "The Dam" has apparently begun again over at Sony Pictures.

So do we really want to see another Stallone sequel? I guess he can't believe his luck at the moment

I like the look of the new Rambo so maybe a new Cliffhanger might be good too??

Cliffhanger was only on tv a few weeks ago cause I watched it! He's still in pretty good shape for a 60 odd year old so he could probably carry it off but could he still do the stunts?

If they make another one please let's not have another American playing an English baddie

John Lithgow was good but his accent got on my nerves after a while!

Oh yeah I forgot Lithgow played it all English

and you should well know babe that every American film has to have an english baddie....its just not an action film without it

Well Sly managed the stunts in Rambo and Rocky so he probably could but he would want to do it soon enough cause if he leaves it any longer he won't be able to get his zimmer frame up any mountain
