Just to add some balance to the talkback. Fantastic story about the guy with $375000 teeth.

Planet Hollywood by Atomik Steve	Dec 15th, 2006 09:47:07 AM
That new hotel sounds like my dream come true. I can't wait for it to open!
Rocky v W.? by Firebird	Dec 15th, 2006 09:52:20 AM
I'd pay to see that.
Amazing... by Read and Shut Up	Dec 15th, 2006 10:05:02 AM
...considering Sly's doing press junkets for his film, attending openings and continuing to create buzz for Rocky that he STILL takes the time to read and respond to these questions - and none of his answers are cheap or stale. Harry - I believe Sly should be the NEW face of AICN. I'll be there on the 20th!
Beating him like a dusty rug by jordan_88	Dec 15th, 2006 10:07:31 AM
Beating him like a dusty rug - funniest shit i've heard on the net since a recent Arnold prank call.
I saw Crow T. Robot in a Planet Hollywood in Oberhausen by DerLanghaarige	Dec 15th, 2006 10:16:14 AM

I stood outside the opening of Planet Hollywood by The Equalizer	Dec 15th, 2006 10:23:33 AM
...in London in 1993. It had been pissing down with rain for 9 hours and I was stuck in it for 5 of those just to get a glimpse of Sly, Bruce and Arnie. I yelled out when they were doing their photo-pose so I could get Bruce looking at me (to their left). All the newspapers the next day had this pick of the 3 guys holding their arms in the air, and Bruce was the only one not looking at the camera. He was facing left looking at my camera! Wicked picture, I'll have to put it online one of these days.
Sly vs Hitler by Doctor_Sin	Dec 15th, 2006 10:28:16 AM
Damn it - if I had the moolah this would get made this weekend in Hollywood. Sly, thanks for sharing your time and memories! Have a great holiday, btw!
Hey Dirtbag, you're a lousy shot!! by Brody77	Dec 15th, 2006 10:44:51 AM
These Q&A sessions keep getting better & better. Thanks Harry, and thanks Sly - this has truly made your site "cool news". PS - the stick fight in Rambo 3 was absolutely fantastic!

Never stop! by viranth	Dec 15th, 2006 12:08:01 PM
I love these sessions. Every day I look forward reading new answers from Sly. Best. Use. Of. Time. Ever.
Great stuff by canopus	Dec 15th, 2006 12:26:05 PM
If you're reading this Sly, thanks so much, this is awesome. I admit, I wasn't crazy about you during your Brigitte Nielson period, I don't blame you for being attracted to her, she was crazy hot back then. But I guess her terrible personality came through, and I lumped you in with her. Boy was I wrong, you're pure class, and I think the twenty mil you had to pay her to go away was money well spent, even if you had to do stuff like Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot to make up the money. I was one that liked Rocky V, and I'm really looking forward to Rocky Balboa, I hope it's a runaway hit for you.
Sly is everywhere!!! by ptindy	Dec 15th, 2006 12:31:49 PM
The other night I was flipping around the channels and saw a scene from Rocky Balboa. So I stopped to watch. The clip was done and it went to Sly being interviewed. I then noticed the channel was a Christian network, TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network). The interview was about the spiritual aspect of the Rocky movies. Sly or someone involved with Rocky even has a website setup for resources to use for churches and other outreach programs. http://www.rockyresources.com/ I guess I never thought of Rocky and/or Sly in this light or in these terms. Interesting.
Six of eleven released vid clips from Rocky Balboa... by abominate	Dec 15th, 2006 12:51:41 PM

The answer to question no. 10... by rev_skarekroe	Dec 15th, 2006 12:53:00 PM
...is always "your mom". BTW, I heard that Sly didn't want to take off the helmet in Dredd, but either his agent or the studio insisted upon it. We may never know. They should just start the franchise from scratch.
Judge Dredd trailer music??? by BillEmic	Dec 15th, 2006 12:55:18 PM
I keep meaning to ask - what Jerry Goldsmith movie is the trailer music to "Judge Dredd" from? I want to say I've heard that piece of music re-used in several action movie trailers. At a certain point in time (the 90's), I think the only song that got put to more trailers was "More Human Than Human" by White Zombie!
Judge Dredd trailer music by teutoneer	Dec 15th, 2006 01:14:20 PM
Actually this music was for the JUDGE DREDD Teaser!!! Goldsmith was supposed to score the movie, because Stallone loved his great RAMBO Scores!!!
Wow Rocky is so pale in the first movie..... by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 01:37:04 PM
I was watching the Collectors Edition DVD last night....man is Sly/Rocky pale. What in the world?? :P
Not about Judge Dredd, sorry by Dick Nicely	Dec 15th, 2006 01:44:17 PM
I think Sly should follow up Rocky Balboa with a Woody Allen movie. I say this because I watched Bananas the other day and there he is, intimidating poor Woody on the subway. This could be another chance for him to turn in a low-key performance à la Copland (which I think is terrific). Also Woody has probably directed more Oscar-winning performances than anyone else, so I reckon a Sly-Woody collaboration is an Academy Award waiting to happen. Chances are Scarlett Johansson would be in it, too.
Is Celeste hot? by Alonzo Mosely	Dec 15th, 2006 01:48:13 PM
What, like that isn't the single most important question here...
The Judge Dredd videogames sucked............. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 01:51:43 PM
I refuse anything associated with that franchise after that series of crap. Stupid controls.... And how am I supposed top be first when these things are posted in the morning? I am a night owl. All these roosters cocka-doodle-doodling....I am still ASLEEP!
No, Celeste is a 300 pound bearded lady..... by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 01:53:00 PM
Yeah right. No woman in history with the name 'Celeste' has ever not been hot.

ROCKY DVD by Valebant	Dec 15th, 2006 02:07:11 PM
I just bought (somewhat inspired by reading this series) the Collector's Edition of ROCKY on DVD for 20 bucks at Best Buy and was very pleased to find that it comes with a free movie ticket for ROCKY BALBOA!
No, Gibby, Harry is the 300 pound bearded lady..... by YackBacker	Dec 15th, 2006 02:25:36 PM
Look, I NEVER make fun of the big guy's appearance at his expense. I make fun of the whacky shit he does from time to time (regenerating hymen, giggling like a schoolgirl, etc.). Don't nobody give me any crap for making an easy joke for a change. It's Friday. P.S. SLY, YOU DA MAN (STILL TOUGH, STILL HUNGRY!).
RAMBO vs. HITLER, the video game. "I'm comin' for you!" by JDanielP	Dec 15th, 2006 02:29:44 PM
Was that over the top? No, that was an arm wrestling movie.
What they SHOULD do... by abominate	Dec 15th, 2006 02:32:02 PM
...is not have Sly do low-key cameos in other movies, but have Sly as Rocky in Adrian's restaurant, and use THAT as a location for other movies. Imagine a middle-aged couple discussing their mid-life crises over dinner there, and Rock-o just happens to stroll up and ask if, "Yo, uh...hiya doin'...just wonderin' if yer findin' everything to your, ya know, edibility?"
Judge Dredd trailer music by BillEmic	Dec 15th, 2006 02:37:02 PM
Thanks for the info, guys. I can't believe a piece of music that amazing, inspiring, and blood-pumping was created solely for a trailer! Goldsmith was the best. I can clearly remember that music being used for the "Lost in Space" trailer too. I want to say that there were a few others too.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS FLICK... by Leafy McPlantsalot	Dec 15th, 2006 02:43:29 PM
Hope it's great. Now if they could go ahead and remake Alien 3 and wipe Terminater 3 from existance my chilhood will be reasonably salvaged....film wise that is
Agent sith by DocPazuzu	Dec 15th, 2006 02:57:27 PM
Why stop there? I say let Sly stride forth as our talkbacker champion and beat the shit out of Uwe. "Yo! I didn't hear no bell, Boll!"
Movie music by BillEmic	Dec 15th, 2006 04:20:19 PM
Okay, here's a question for the movie music gurus: what was the music used in the trailer for "Seven Years in Tibet"? I've always wondered, as I've heard it in several other trailers.
does Sly by SuperFreak22	Dec 15th, 2006 04:24:03 PM
Hate Carl Weathers? He has taken a few shots at him the last few weeks.

that toothpaste story is pretty darn funny.
This Rocky could be a hit by #1 Zero	Dec 15th, 2006 05:25:57 PM
From all the promotion that Stallone is doing and the fact that the preview looks to be the best of the last few Rocky movies, a lot of nostalgic people may come out to see this.
Bill Emic by Dick Nicely	Dec 15th, 2006 05:26:43 PM
You're not trying to promote that derivitive piece of shit Eragon, are you? Because I think the Seven Years in Tibet trailer used the score from Dragonheart. If I'm wrong, breathe fire on me.
In defence of my movie knowledge by Dick Nicely	Dec 15th, 2006 05:37:26 PM
Don't you fellas go thinking you know Dick Nicely because he's seen Dragonheart. He happens to like Dennis Quaid, plus there was a Scottish dragon which reminded him of his ma. Sorry, ma.

So Sly isn't Instant Messaging these answers to Harry? by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 06:16:44 PM
Aww. I was hoping Sly actually had a screenname. "T00BIG", "DREAMHUNK69", "STUDMUFFIN247" or something.
Classy guy by mrfan	Dec 15th, 2006 06:36:12 PM
Apologizing to us for being late. Thanks Sly. You da man.
I still don't get why you picked THAT question by seppukudkurosawa	Dec 15th, 2006 07:06:14 PM
and not the one where I proposed a Celebrity Deathmatch between him and Flava Flav...although I'm willing to bet Red Sonja would wipe the floor with 'em both. Naw, thanks for the little anecdote Sly! Bull shit with dicks...heh heh.

I can't freakin wait... ROCKY ROCKY! by super Cucaracha	Dec 15th, 2006 08:33:24 PM
I will be there on opening night and I am taking my daughter with me. She's cool. She actually wants to watch it. It's fucking surreal! Rocky the original has been my favorite film of all time since I was a kid and now my own kid is going with me for this one. Like father like daughter!...sniff, sniff, I am so proud!
Rear-ending Stallone at a stoplight..... by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 10:11:42 PM
I can relate. I hate assholes....especially ones that don't talk sense behind the wheel. But then again, a huge sloth driving all the way to LA to make it in TOOTHPASTE commercials of all things (who are the commercials targeting....other sloths?) can't be too mentally stable to begin with. And what assholery to go up to Stallone again to tease him, years later. How in the world did he get to walk up to Sly on the set of Nighthawks to begin with, though? Sly has so many fans that would love to meet him to say nice things....how did asshole pull it?
Sly created Mike Tyson before Mike Tyson. by darthbinks1220	Dec 15th, 2006 11:24:15 PM
Think about the fight. Think about the fight. His name is Clubber Lang, and he wants to hurt you! It's true. Mr. T terrorized opponents cinematically in '82. Tyson, with the same disposition/attitude and fighting style, did it in the late 80s, early 90s.
Tyson owns Clubber Lang by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 15th, 2006 11:52:18 PM
Tyson was a monster in the ring. Clubber was loud and obnoxious and swung hard punches like a mo'fo. Tyson was soft spoken, quiet even, but when the bell rang he'd dance all over you, defend all your moves, then knock your head off. If Tyson (in his prime) for in the ring with fictional Clubber, Tyson would completely destroy him. Tyson has defense.

The Judge Dredd trailer music bait and switch by successor	Dec 16th, 2006 01:35:21 AM
I remember seeing the trailers and commercials for the movie back in '95 and getting all psyched after hearing Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful music. Then I get to the theater and not only did I get a crappy movie, I got Alan Silvestri's bland score to go with it. Fool that I was, I even bought the soundtrack CD, hoping the great trailer music might be there. No such luck, thought. Man, I wish somebody had a rule stating that trailers could only play the music that will be in the movie. Of course that's impossible--and Goldsmith's score was supposed to be in the movie. Still, that bait and switch got me so pissed that I never trusted trailer music after that.

Rambo II music was great by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 16th, 2006 02:17:43 AM
DA DUN!! DahDUN DUN da-da-da DUN!! know what i'm sayin?
sorry by eatlightning	Dec 16th, 2006 02:17:44 AM
sorry guys. the subject of my post was not the balboa clip but a video i made for school. but the balboa clip IS at the bottom of the post. I really don't like Rambo III, but Rambo II is one of the best action movies out there, and first blood is a classic!
Boyle in FIST , Lennon-Stallone meeting in '77 by Johnny Kovac	Dec 17th, 2006 01:19:16 AM
Short and funny story. Peter Boyle was in FIST with Stallone. Also during this time - 1977 Boyle was one of the few friends that John Lennon had during his house-husband years. Anyway, i heard that Lennon and Boyle were extremely close. SO close in fact. Lennon - i have heard - actually visited the FIST set in '77 in Iowa with Yoko and Sean - wonder if Sly met John Lennon - cause Lennon was a big Rocky fan. He mentions Rocky and the movie in one of his home-recordings and in his diary. Also- Lennon was inspired to write the song "I'm Losing you" after watching Adrian's coma/Illness in ROcky II. If he had lived- Lennon would have written a song for Rocky III not Eye of the tiger but probably something for training montage or Mickey's funeral. anyway - something like "Across the Universe". Oh, Lennon could have writte a sweet song for Rambo I. I hear one of the songs in the original mix was "Imagine" and "Crippled Inside" from Lennon's 1971 LP. Brilliant A great moment in world history would have been a John Lennon-Paul McCartney reunion at Sly's house while watching Rocky II in 1979. Maybe - they could have written a song to capture Rocky's mood when he won that belt. Sly is a big Bee Gees and Beatles fan. Lennon influenced Rocky I a lot. I think the sardonic and sarcastic character Buddy in ROcky I was a Lennon inspired character. Buddy : "I hear she's retarded" Buddy: "Take her to the Zoo,,, I hear retards like the zoo". Those was pure Lennon lines right out of Hard Days Night - '64. Gatzo: "Some people they just hate for no reason"... Paul McCartney i am sure has met Stallone - curious - if Sly had met both Beatles - I think Rocky Balboa and magic of Stallone's personality is one of the immoveable forces of nature that could have brokered a Beatle reunion. Picture Stallone standing in the doorway...Nobody' leaving until Paul and John set things right"...The other mortal being who could have brokered a Beatle reunion was Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Clubber and Tyson by Johnny Kovac	Dec 17th, 2006 01:23:40 AM
Oh, that's so true. Stallone created TYson way before he existed. Clubber Lang was symbolic of the hunger we all need to have, the passion and the desire to do the best before all the trappings of fame and luxury make us weak and fat and lazy. 25 years later and rocky III is still a classic and Stallone is still the man. I don't care about Grosses and all that. I just want to see all the critics worship at the greatness of this film and how it still works 30 years on
