Sly Stallone
Sylvester "Sly" Stallone took the world of Hollywood by surprise when in 1976, he wrote, directed, and starred in his blockbuster hit Rocky. For the next ten years The Italian Stallion was unimaginably popular in Hollywood; by 1990 he had made a total of five Rocky movies and three movies as the war veteran Rambo. Stallone has tried to move away from his mono-syllabic roles in action moves and has ventured into other genres such as comedy (1991's Oscar and 1998's Antz) and drama (1997's Cop Land), without a lot of success. His upcoming films are yet another Rocky and Rambo movie, due to beMore completed in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

    My favorite is Rocky 4. -Ivan Drago made this Rocky 4, better than the rest in my opinion. Now on the subject of Rocky, what made me create this topic was about the up & coming: Rocky 6 Feel free to discuss the Rocky series and ecspecially Rocky 6 here. I want to read much about thisMore new movie. I loved the other 5, but I hope the 6th can match up to the greatness of the last 5. Does anyone know if this 60-year-old-man will actually be fighting in this movie or managing, I'v heard so many mixed rumors I don't have a clue! When does it come out? Next year? I know that light-heavyweight champion - Antonio Tarver will be in this film, who else? Thanks.

    Rambo's style... hide show

    I have to admit that i don't really like Sly, i hate him as a super-hero-strong man,all muscles, like Rambo or Rocky, the sort of character he so often plays.
    He's, of course, a not so bad actor who can make really different characters. I definitely love him in "Tango & Cash" as in "Oscar" but I think that are not Stallone's style movies...or better is not the cliche we are used to look for to identify him.
    Maybe he should make more "funny" movies instead of "strong-man" ones...probably is too late to change his usual style...and, of course, that's only my opinion.

    Sylvester Stallone introduces new wellness product line. www.myseriesse.com/kimg Be among the first people to sign up to sell the S-Force products. Launch of the products to take place in Oct. Stallone had the crowd roaring with laughter at a recent appearance as he described some of the challenges in the making of his latest film John Rambo. He humorously described the rigors of running around the Burmese jungle while trying to keep his energy at peak, which is how he discovered one of his new super-food health products, AmlaRush. Bill Lovell, President and CEO of Seriesse International, commented on the addition of S-Force: "In addition to the obvious star power that Mr. Stallone brings to Seriesse, Sly's extensive knowledge of health and nutrition will add a dimension of personal insight and integrity to our growing line of wellness products. The management team and our entire team of Independent Consultants are excited about this quantum leap forward for Seriesse International."

    If he only made on movie in his entire career, "Rocky" would personify this actor to a 'T'. hide show

    ...no pun intender with the 'T', as in 'Mr.'...seriously though, the 1976 film "Rocky" has always been my favourite movie of all time. No other picture has ever captured the raw sense of hope, possibilities, and desire as Rocky Balboa and his one-in-a-million shot at the Appolo Creed and the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

    While I enjoy all of the movies from this series, the orignial possesses something that was never duplicated in the subsequent sequals...I cannot specify exactly what it is, but essentially the character of Stallone in this movie was so unique and relatable, is simply spoke more than words can say.

    I'm Canadian, and the ultra American-patriotism of the latter-day films does not connect with me the way it likely has with others...but the fact remains that Stallone, in this, his greatest accomplishment, created an immortal character with whom film-goers worldwide have idolized ever since. A spectacular accomplishment, "Rocky" will forever be the most important (and enjoyable) movie I have ever been privilaged to view.
