Arnold Schwarzenegger tricked Sylvester Stallone into starring in the poorly received action comedy "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" by feigning interest in the script, knowing it was bad. Schwarzenegger's ruse involved leaking false information that he was considering the role, prompting the producers to approach Stallone with the opportunity, suggesting it was a coveted project. Stallone, eager to outdo Schwarzenegger, accepted the role, only to realize later that he had been set up. This incident was part of the intense rivalry the two actors shared during the 1980s and 1990s.
