10 Strange Changes Test Audiences Forced Movies To Make

10. No One Believes Sly Can Make That Jump - Cliffhanger

Sylvester Stallone is a one-of-a-kind action hero. He's overcome the odds time and time again in a boxing ring as Rocky Balboa, regularly shown his one-man-army capabilities as Rambo, and led a team of explosive icons in The Expendables.

However, beating up terrifying Soviets and gunning down wave after wave of relentless enemies are one thing, performing a 40-foot leap between two cliffs is something else entirely. And it ultimately proved to be an action too far for the usually convincing Sly as early test audiences were left chuckling at the sight of Stallone pulling off this ridiculous feat in 1993's Cliffhanger.

Instead of cutting the leap altogether, however, the decision was made to edit the jump so that the distance looked shorter, making the almighty hop seem more believable by the time the feature was officially released in theatres.

I mean, the movie still involved Stallone gorilla-pressing a man into a spike and scaling a snowy mountain in a little t-shirt. But, freakishly strong man jumps a little further than usual? That was clearly a leap too far.
