Answering Questions Is As Easy As Breathing - Sly Answers Back! Day 1

First! by skywalkerfamily	Jan 14th, 2008 10:24:03 PM
Awesome! Thanks Sly!
Dude, as if there was any doubt... by filmicdrummer17	Jan 14th, 2008 10:26:06 PM
Sly is a class act, and very, very funny. Can't wait for more Q & A.
I Love OSCAR, and I'm not ashamed of it by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jan 14th, 2008 10:26:24 PM
an underrated farcicle comedy, if ever I saw one
Half the questions he didn't answer by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jan 14th, 2008 10:27:32 PM
A couple he deflected with jokes, some he just re-directed. So it looks like for each day's 10 questions, we'll get about 6.5 answers.
How about a Cliffhanger sequel? by skywalkerfamily	Jan 14th, 2008 10:28:30 PM
I loved that movie!
by SJBKAT	Jan 14th, 2008 10:29:27 PM
So awesome! First?
He seems like a cool dude by Mezzanine	Jan 14th, 2008 10:29:58 PM
Its awesome that he pokes fun at Stop! Or my Mom Will Shoot!
What? by SJBKAT	Jan 14th, 2008 10:31:18 PM
No "Return to the Party at Kitty and Studs: The Next Generation?"
Stay classy, Sly by Maximillian Roivas	Jan 14th, 2008 10:32:47 PM
I love the fact that he's focusing on the shit going down in Burma, something Hollywood seems to be too afraid to tackle. Way to fight the good fight! January 25th's gonna be so cathartic
Thanks Sly by SpencerTrilby	Jan 14th, 2008 10:34:12 PM
but is it me or our pen pal Sly is a bit less outspoken than last year? His answers seem a bit rushed. Ahh, nevermind...
Good start by Mullah Omar	Jan 14th, 2008 10:39:34 PM
That had more than a little bit of filler, but there were a few decent bits of info. I await bigger and better answers in the days ahead.
Rushed? by SJBKAT	Jan 14th, 2008 10:39:46 PM
Naw, I'm sure the man has a lot going on two weeks before the release of Rambo. To have him do an entire week of questions still shows a lot more than our non-friend Bruce Willis.
Thanks Sly! by Cheif Brody	Jan 14th, 2008 10:39:51 PM
Keep 'em coming! "Tango & Cash 2"?!!
I really liked Staying Alive. i'm NOT kidding. by ronniepooch	Jan 14th, 2008 10:40:31 PM

Forget Death Wish, Sly by Moe Ron	Jan 14th, 2008 10:45:09 PM
I've said it before, but if you are jonesing to remake a cool Bronson flick, do THE MECHANIC. And please, please see if you can get a "Sly" cut of Nighthawks out there. Love that movie, would love it even more I think if you could get that version out there you spoke of last year. Oh, and God bless you, you're the coolest.
Sly's back! by Dr. Girlfriend	Jan 14th, 2008 10:45:29 PM
And it's great to see he's kept the same wit that made his stay so much fun last time! The last answer had me LMAO. Thanks, Sly!
Good answers by Bobo_Vision	Jan 14th, 2008 10:45:34 PM
Humble and self-depricating - I get cynical about Sly watching those thrash metal Rambo trailers, but his answers make me like the man again. And, great answer to the Rambo-Islamic question which many have been asking, and he's totally right, and movies about the current war have been tanking for precisely that reason.
Stop or my Mom will shoot was awesome by messi	Jan 14th, 2008 10:46:55 PM
I understand how audiences couldn't see the humour back then, but fuck me is it a good idea. CHILDREN OF FUCKING MEN!
Regarding Death Wish, though by Moe Ron	Jan 14th, 2008 10:49:42 PM
I will say your take on it sounds interesting. At least you're going to up the ante.
Rambo...Full Circle? by Acquanetta	Jan 14th, 2008 10:50:11 PM
I'm a little confused by the idea of Rambo coming full circle in the new film. Wasn't that the underlying theme of Rambo 3? I hope Sly expands upon that notion, either in a Q&A or in the actual Rambo film.

Good point SJBKAT by SpencerTrilby	Jan 14th, 2008 10:51:39 PM
it's probably just a warm up and still it makes WalterB (or BeeDug, whatever) look like a fool for pussying out last year.
Sly and Arnie teamup by Moe Ron	Jan 14th, 2008 10:53:10 PM
You should be the villain of the piece. I just rewatched Death Race 2000 on TCM the other night, you've got it in you. I caught the ad for Rambo earlier while watching TV with a friend, and we got to talking about your films. I never realized what a link there is between my childhood and Sylvester Stallone.
Death Wish 6 by Acquanetta	Jan 14th, 2008 10:54:30 PM
I'm a big fan of Bronson's take on the character, but I wouldn't be entirely opposed to seeing Sly's version. However, if it bears no relation to the original film or novel, why is it even being called Death Wish?
A star on par with none! by VanGoghX	Jan 14th, 2008 10:55:56 PM
Yu da man, Sly! I know this question aint gonna get to you, since I didn't follow the proper channels, but: Did you get much teasing as a kid with a name like Sylvester? When did you adopt the nickname Sly? Ah well, maybe next time... Thx much for your time!
Guy's Funny by Muldoon	Jan 14th, 2008 10:57:13 PM
Sly's a pimp, loved all the Q&As and am glad someone asked that number 9
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!I by brocknroll	Jan 14th, 2008 10:58:30 PM
I love Sly's sense of humor, I especially love his answer to number 10, that cracked me up!!! :-D
Sly, THANKS! by ABking	Jan 14th, 2008 11:00:13 PM
Thanks once again for your answers Sly. Talkbacks can be tough on you but most of these guys are jaded and just hate everything. But at least RAMBO will shut all their fucking mouths:) Maybe after RAMBO opens to 25 million, studios will shove numerous projects at you including John Singletons THE-A TEAM; Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTARDS; James Byron Huggins HUNTER; Hell maybe you and Arnie can team up and fight a Predator IN PREDATOR 3:)
Rambo V Idea... by SJBKAT	Jan 14th, 2008 11:01:05 PM
I want to hear more about this "bizarre idea" he has for a "Rambo 5"
Good god that wood chipper comment.... by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jan 14th, 2008 11:03:32 PM
had me laughing so hard I started to tear up. Nice one Sly!
Super Stuff! Thanks, Sly! by cyclo	Jan 14th, 2008 11:03:55 PM
I must say I love Sly's reasoning for using the conflict in Burma as the new source material for RAMBO. The Karen tribe has been suffering for decades under the oppresive Burmese regime (which is basically communist). Just a brilliant decision by Sly both from a cinematic perspective (Rambo in the jungle again) and a humanitarian perspective (the suffering Karen) to finally shed some light on this long ignored genocide against the peaceful Karen. A million thanks, Sly! Good answer! Good answer! (I feel like Richard Dawson).
Never Seen Rocky 2 by HExTeXly	Jan 14th, 2008 11:07:06 PM
It's coming tomorrow (via Nextflix) I'm really excited. I love Sly, and the new RAMBO looks great.
The commercials for Rambo by skywalkerfamily	Jan 14th, 2008 11:09:25 PM
Really have me excited. I never got into the Rambo franchise, but I check out this one and the earlier ones.
Never seen Rocky 2? Get ready then by SpencerTrilby	Jan 14th, 2008 11:10:48 PM
the last line is for the history books, as the most badass-yet-moving line ever.
Please make this movie....!!!!! by Succatash	Jan 14th, 2008 11:10:48 PM
We just need a movie about aliens coming down and making these actors (acting as themselves) fight each other to the death. Sylvestor Stallone Arnold S. Bruce Willis Jackie Chan and more...
CHECK OUT IGN's KICK ASS CLIP! by ABking	Jan 14th, 2008 11:16:10 PM
Some of you talkbacker PUSSIES will see a real action movie on JANUARY 25TH. Sly...show them how it is done OLD SCHOOL!
over the top by tranpkp1	Jan 14th, 2008 11:28:42 PM
how come he never references over the top ??? an all time classic. I need to get a ? to sly to comment on OverTheTop!
putting it in the jungles was the best by Prossor	Jan 14th, 2008 11:32:20 PM
considering Rambo 2 is my favorite of that series, glad he's going back to the jungles and not in that sandpit of middleeast.
AbKing's Bedroom walls by Bobo_Vision	Jan 14th, 2008 11:32:45 PM
I'm willing to wager with anyone on this talkback that AbKing's bedroom walls are adorned with posters featuring a shirtless Stallone and a shirtless Schwartzenegger. Any takers? I'll give you 20 to 1 odds.
At least he didn't say anything about JUDGE DREDD by Mr Incredible	Jan 14th, 2008 11:57:58 PM
Well, he didn't...
Rambo...does anybody really care anymore?? by Executor	Jan 14th, 2008 11:59:36 PM
I think Rambo will fade into oblivion at the box office much like the "long awaited" comeback of Basic Instinct 2. Which is a shame, because Sly has the potential for so much more. When he tried to "reinvent" himself years ago with Copland I thought that was a great step and was disappointed he didn't make more movies like that. Or, in today's market, find a great drama on HBO or FX to sink his teeth into. Sly's days of being a marquee draw at the cinema are over, but if he stopped with this Rocky 7 and Rambo 4 bullshit he could really continue as an actor.
Thanks for answering my question, Sly! by IAmJack'sUserID	Jan 15th, 2008 12:06:02 AM
I look forward to January 25.
ANCHORITE YOU MUST BE THAT MICHAEL HUHFFURRRER ASSHOLE by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 12:06:11 AM
That "question" just fucking reeks of you like sewer reeks of shit. Sly just PWNED your stupid crusadist posturing you fucking twat. And if that wasn't you, fuck you anyway.
Well, Rocky Balboa was hardly bullshit by SpencerTrilby	Jan 15th, 2008 12:06:28 AM
he grew up both as an actor and a director with that one. Maybe the lightning will strike twice with Rambo, who knows? At the very least, we could be in for a good ol'fashioned action flick.
Please come on MGU, Sly! by pacino33	Jan 15th, 2008 12:06:48 AM
They've had Brian Tyler and Brian Garfield both on the show! And they'd love to have you on as a guest, too. They're supporting your film 100%! www.blogtalkradio.com/moviegee ksunited
ON SECOND THOUGHT I KNOW THAT WAS YOU by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 12:08:27 AM
Douche. PWNED, what a dipshit.
He was very funny in ANTZ. by christian66	Jan 15th, 2008 12:11:45 AM
He actually stole the movie from Woody Allen. Tough to do. Anyway, RAMBO is good bloody fun. Bravo.
GOOD START TO THE Q&A BUT LET'S GET TO JUICY STUFF by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 12:13:37 AM
Best part of the OQA (Original Q&A) was the personal stuff, conflicts and chicken grease.
He is awesome. by V'Shael	Jan 15th, 2008 12:14:45 AM
I wish more people knew about this side of his personality. The funny open self-deprecating fan-welcoming side.
SORRY BUT THE MARKETING IS SENDING BAD SIGNALS SLY by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 12:16:15 AM
You need to disembowel those idiots who went this route.
Rambo is back! Freakin' awesome! by sonnyfern	Jan 15th, 2008 12:23:26 AM
Really, think about it...RAMBO...back in theaters..I mean we're talking one of the biggest icons in movie history and say what you will, but Stallone proved with Rocky he can pull something like this off with flying colors. The man is SMART. I just hope the movie is as violent and bloody as that early footage was!
cool guy by onefatman	Jan 15th, 2008 12:25:50 AM
Although I think his statement that all movies about the middle east have so far been failures is a bit dismissive and generalised.
I loved SHADE, but no one ever discusses that one... by Cruel_Kingdom	Jan 15th, 2008 12:30:59 AM
I think Rambo is gonna suck big time, but my ass will be the first one in line to see it either way.
Woah daddy! by caruso_stalker217	Jan 15th, 2008 12:34:14 AM
They actually used my shit-ass question!
And thanks for answering by caruso_stalker217	Jan 15th, 2008 12:38:43 AM
I had forgotten all about the diaper dream sequence. You've dredged up many painful memories. Thank you, Sly.
Harry, exercise your power over Stallone and.. by seppukudkurosawa	Jan 15th, 2008 12:41:55 AM
-tell him that "In the middle of this film Trautman will emerge in a flashback" is a pretty awful idea. I know Rambo isn't supposed to be Full Metal Jacket or The Big Red One, but that doesn't mean it's got to completely take you out of the real world altogether. Flashbacks- especially to dead characters- are 9 times out of 10 a shitty, hamfisted writers' device. Maybe it's a sign of how stuck on the past Rambo is, or how unstrung he is, but that doesn't change the fact that it's weak, Lifetime Movie-style writing. Anyway, hoping this'll be good, and POST A PICTURE OF CELESTE!
I wonder why Sly never did a movie with a canine co-star by caruso_stalker217	Jan 15th, 2008 12:43:36 AM
I wonder if he regrets not doing one when he had the chance.
I think... by Tourist	Jan 15th, 2008 12:51:27 AM
...You could just repost the original Rocky Q and A's. Looks like your gonna get mostly repeat business from the question askers.
sniff Sly is gonna make us find our balls!! by captboulder	Jan 15th, 2008 12:54:28 AM
Its about fucking time! Time for people to see a real action star in a bonfide action movie! CGI cars, cgi explosions, and etc have nothing on the REAL shit! Welcome Rambo, welcome back! Please come to hollywood next!!!
DEAR SLY by deliciouscowbell	Jan 15th, 2008 12:56:41 AM
what is your thoughts on the war that has been dragging on forever now? its getting insane. and it hurt our pockets, and nobody likes it but everyone really wants bluray to win already.
Sly & Arnie team up by bazookajoe	Jan 15th, 2008 01:16:06 AM
There is only one project that is badass enough, a movie-adaptation of CONTRA! Check out this fake trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pZy nFFOkNf4
That's the great thing about Sylvester Stallone by ewokstew	Jan 15th, 2008 01:16:36 AM
People can talk up all the crap they want about certain movies of his or his career, etc... whatever At the end of the day he's still a class act and one heck of a funny guy. Way to go Sly!

Classic.
format wars by Staldo	Jan 15th, 2008 01:24:37 AM
format wars are retarded. The corporations are purposely suppressing HD/bluray hybrid players because then everybody loses. Anybody who talks up either format is a corporate tool.
'Oscar' was fucking excellent by ironic_name	Jan 15th, 2008 01:33:45 AM
i like the first question: dude, for all the jabs you've taken over the years.. JABS! that joke was very.. sly.
Just how class an act is Sly? by Gabba-UK	Jan 15th, 2008 01:33:58 AM
very is the answer.
mr.saxon, see OSCAR, that is some funny shit by ironic_name	Jan 15th, 2008 01:36:18 AM

Doubt by tme2nsb	Jan 15th, 2008 01:37:06 AM
People are doubting this like they did with Rocky Balboa - and again, the naysayers will need to shut the fuck up once they see the movie. I cannot wait. Oh, and Sly, thanks for answering my question :)
Holy Shit by 5 by 5	Jan 15th, 2008 02:08:03 AM
This Stallone guy is one funny motherfucker.
Let the bodies hit the floor! by Sappers Forward	Jan 15th, 2008 02:08:16 AM
I think this movie will rock. I'm an "Action Guy" and I love action movies. Especially movies involving an ass kicking protagonist. I loved First Blood. I think it's one of the all time coolest flicks ever. One of those movies that makes me stop channel surfing. No matter how many times I've seen it.
Stallone+Schwarzenneger teamup by Prossor	Jan 15th, 2008 02:35:48 AM
i said in another tb but if freakin Pacino and DeNiro are making their 3rd movie together surely Rambo and Dutch can TOO DAMMIT.
SO DOES SLY POST IN THE TALKBACKS? by deliciouscowbell	Jan 15th, 2008 02:38:40 AM
oops all caps but does he post here or just answer in a article?
Still waiting for my DEMOLITION MAN and TANGO & CASH sequels, Sl by Steve Rogers	Jan 15th, 2008 03:30:08 AM
...they would fucking rule and you all know it! I love those movies.
Stallone = class act by kwisatzhaderach	Jan 15th, 2008 03:32:08 AM
Stallone got a lot of respect from me for Rocky Balboa, a thoughtful, classy, mature movie, almost a direct sequel to the original. Fingers crossed for this one. And to those dissing the Crenna flashback: Just imagine Rambo sitting thinking about what he should do, having second thoughts about his mission and whether he can do it or not...then the Crenna flashback comes on and Rambo realises what he HAS to do and the Jerry Goldsmith music comes crashing in!!!!! Awesome! To the guy doing the score for this film - if you screw up the Goldsmith music you'll be on the hit list buddy.
Enjoyed Cliffhanger by THE KNIGHT	Jan 15th, 2008 03:42:57 AM
Damn thee thy haters!
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist... by BadMrWonka	Jan 15th, 2008 03:48:07 AM
but there's no way Stallone wrote "where I could play identical twins that are artistically challenged and in a final display of manic behavior they cannibalize one another in front of Cobra." just not possible. funny, well-written, cohesive, and with no errors. no way a weightlifting "actor" wrote it, no matter how many iconic roles you guys can throw at me. he's a fun guy (a republican, but whatever), and it's cool that "he's" doing this, but an assistant or publicist wrote that sentence.
Sly what does the cloverfield monster look like? by duchuvney_post_x	Jan 15th, 2008 03:58:08 AM
thanks in advance.
Can't wait to see this... by 69DUDE	Jan 15th, 2008 04:17:10 AM
on Lionsgate Blu-Ray Disc!! ;)
Islamofacists...? by Samplelord	Jan 15th, 2008 04:34:27 AM
You got a problem with people being muslim?...or Russians?redneck inbred piece of shit...people like you should be dropped in Iraq,big mouth no show Glad Sly is using the Burma situation,instead of cashing in on peoples emotions concerning 911... It's sad that the US of Assholes are too cheap do do anything about the situation there,but hey maybe some day they will find oil in Burma....
I hate to agree with BSB by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 04:36:03 AM
but that post does stink of Anchorite. You're really losing it dude.
Rocky 2,3,4,5 & 6 Special Edition Dvd's Please! by Stallone82	Jan 15th, 2008 04:59:08 AM
Sly, Can you PLEASE actually talk to or kick down the door of "the suits" and tell them to STOP re-releasing Rocky Box Sets and the ONLY new thing is New Artwork! Please... Make Double Disk Special Edition DVD's for Rocky 2,3,4,5 & 6... Commentary Track, 90 Minute Documentary, Behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes. (( For ALL the Rocky Films )) YOU Sly are going to have to push them to do these! Please for the fans, for ALL TIME sake, do this for the fans!
John Spartan. by Julius Dithers	Jan 15th, 2008 05:11:51 AM
Now more than ever a movie bearing that name would have some serious traction. Demolition Man was fun. Too bad Simon Phoenix is going to jail for tax evasion.
Demolition Man... by MonkeyManReturns	Jan 15th, 2008 05:12:43 AM
...totally underrated!! Sure, it 'aint going to stop world hunger, but it was a laugh! I said it before and I will say it again, if Stallone was a bad actor, Rocky and Rambo would have had zero impact on the world. It was him, and him alone, that made these movies what they were (credit of course due to the stunt guys)...but could you imagine Tom Cruise as Rambo? No...nor could I. Stallone rules. Simple. In his genre, he was king. And in my eyes, still is...plus he is an awesome director...maybe he should have made superman returns...the guy knows action, and would have made something monumental, as compared to that Duck's puke that Singer made....
Stallone is NOT a bad actor by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 05:16:33 AM
this is one of the great myths kicking around- for a truly, truly great Stallone performance see Copland.
I liked the Q&A about Rambo giving Stallone's career variety by Alice Cooper Stalker	Jan 15th, 2008 05:24:25 AM
I liked the Q from gamemaster about whether or not the Rambo franchise saved Stallone from being typcast as Rocky. Good question. Good Answer.
RAMBO will grab the BOX-OFFICE by her throat... by travis-dane	Jan 15th, 2008 05:26:48 AM
and Rip her fucking Head off and stay on top of her dead body for 4weeks!Then RAMBO goes back hunting! THATS ALL!
copland by semisaj	Jan 15th, 2008 05:35:24 AM
Was the Sly's best performance...if you believe in the crap that goes with awards Stallone should have won an Oscar..he out acted some very good performers in that film
islamofascists by semisaj	Jan 15th, 2008 05:41:57 AM
seriously are there still people in the world who have access to a computer and the internet who think that these terrorists are Muslims...by definition of there actions as soon as they kill a human being they stop being muslims...god dammit you fucking Americans do some reading use your brains and and stop blaming the big bad guy for the problems that you have created around the world...this is why you are the most hated people in the world right now.. you ignorant fat greedy inbreeds...by the way sly cant wait to see some Rambo action!!
Stallone is the king by stamper	Jan 15th, 2008 05:44:29 AM
But I want to see Edgar Alan Poe played by him, I've been waiting for 20 years !
No way americans could be more hated than... by stamper	Jan 15th, 2008 05:46:36 AM
muslims, what the hell are you talking about ? In true muslim religion, you will get your eyes ripped out and hands chopped off for browsing the internet. All religion sucks btw, I mean, you get catholic priests raping young kids, which says as much for christians.
Newsflash for BadMrWonka: by DocPazuzu	Jan 15th, 2008 05:49:46 AM
John Hurt actually doesn't have elephantiasis. John Travolta actually isn't a genius who got smart from a flash of light. Arnie actually isn't a monosyllabic robot from the future. Forrest Whitaker actually isn't a loony African dictator. Eddie Murphy actually can't talk to animals.
are you sure about Arnie? by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 05:52:19 AM

stamper by semisaj	Jan 15th, 2008 05:56:25 AM
i think you will find that 1.3 billion muslims hate Ameicans..about 300,000 of them turn into terrorists..also most educated people from around the world have a dislike for you because of vietnam..your foreign policy in south america..the first gulf war..invasion of Afghanistan and iraq, the fact that wouldnt sign the keyote treaty...your abilty to enlist the help of dictators and keep them in powr untill you no longer need them ..for exmple saddam..the training of terrorists..example the IRA and Osama bin laden...you really are stupid fucks..do some reading use your mind stamper and think for yourself...idiot...you are right about one thing..religion does suck
God bless you, Unca Sly by reflecto	Jan 15th, 2008 05:57:37 AM
He provided me with endless hours of entertainment with camp schlock like COBRA as a kid, but the fact is that for all the cheesy shit Sly is a talented man and a dedicated performer who just wants to tell a story, even if sometimes, that story is RHINESTONE, COBRA or STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT. And I'm entertained! He's very eloquent about his best works or his worst blunders. BTW, ROCKY BALBOA was class.
semisaj&stamper:RAMBO should KILL both.. by travis-dane	Jan 15th, 2008 06:04:33 AM
of you for starting another gruesome political/religion BS debate on a TB!
travis-dane by semisaj	Jan 15th, 2008 06:08:26 AM
sorry you are correct and i will never do this again! Sly will you be releasing an extended version of the film once it hits dvd, blu ray etc?...what extras could we expect?
First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Pt 2, Rambo 3, Rambo. by Executor	Jan 15th, 2008 06:08:53 AM
This has got to be one of the most idiotic and confusing numbering of titling of sequels I have ever seen. They really should have called this movie "John Rambo." Or if they wanted to be really accurate, "Who Cares."
Bronson=Pee Wee Herman?! by TomBodet	Jan 15th, 2008 06:12:57 AM
Say What there Mr Sly?? I remember seeing Mr Bronson in person around these parts a couple times-nononononononononono. Though the idea of CGI Bronson playing Pee Wee Herman does make one wonder where the Giant Robots would fit...
semisaj- by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 06:16:42 AM
most of the world hates America for 2 reasons: 1) Being fatter, more arrogant, louder and more stupid than the rest (a sweeping generalisation, but it's a pretty common one) 2)Being the dominant power on the planet. Foriegn policy (sepecially shit like vietnam) is mostly irrelevant in our percerption. BTW I like Americans, places in America that I've been to (except for San Fransisco- which I hated), and most things american so I post this expecting to be flamed.
TomBodet by C Legion	Jan 15th, 2008 06:18:00 AM
He's referring to the bad guys, not Bronson. Fuck, Bronson was granite.
TomBodet:Sly meant the BAD dudes who... by travis-dane	Jan 15th, 2008 06:18:24 AM
killed Bronsons family to look like Pee Wee Herman.
Shit to late! by travis-dane	Jan 15th, 2008 06:19:01 AM

Cant wait for Death Wish! will there be rambo 5? by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 06:28:20 AM
Death wish With sly could be great!! sounds like it has a Touch of Rambo and Cobra... I hope if this rambo is a hit you will do another Rambo sly! I love how you can make fun of your bad movies ;)
why on earth would I want to move to Usbekistan? by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 06:36:24 AM
I'd come for a holiday, obviously to carry on England's great lager lout tradition, but living there?
I still like you Travis by Lost Jarv	Jan 15th, 2008 06:37:03 AM

Lost Jarv, how can you hate SF?? by BenBraddock	Jan 15th, 2008 06:39:57 AM
That place was awesome, beautiful. If I had to move to the USA, I'd want to live there. Anyway, anyone know who's playing Trautman in RAMBO now that Crenna is dead? I hope RAMBO is good, but wanting it to be a new FIRST BLOOD doesn't mean it will be. Fingers crossed though.
Oscar is awesome! by DirkD13"	Jan 15th, 2008 06:42:49 AM
John Landis' last decent film, an amazing piano duet scene, Peter Reigert (Boon!!!), Tim Curry, high quality farce. Ok so Sly isn't a natural comedic actor (although he is a naturally comedic individual), but that film is good goddammit! Once again big man, cheers for this.

no one is playing "trautman" It would be interesting to see Rambo back in the U.s. though for a rambo 5
Should have used Rambo theme in trailer by Dazzler69	Jan 15th, 2008 06:49:48 AM
I would like to see some kind of movie with Arnold and Sly. I would not care if it was cheesy.
Class by Lerkst	Jan 15th, 2008 06:59:43 AM
Stallone has proven himself with the American masterpiece that is Rocky Balboa. I never truly lost faith in the man--Lock up is a great movie, eg. But bringing back Rambo was necessary. When the only true action star we have is a 25 ft. robot named Prime, it's time for a real action hero. John's return is prime, itself. I think Stallone is JUST starting his creative peak...so what if he's older when it happens? Look at Eastwood--he's producing his best work yet. I would like too see Sly direct more films for other people, personally. Thanks for being the best, Mr. Stallone.
Cliffhanger or Demolition Man by photoboy	Jan 15th, 2008 07:00:22 AM
I'd love to see sequels to either of those. Actually, I'd quite like another Judge Dredd too, despite most people hating it, I rather enjoyed it! :)
BenBraddock by Bouncy X	Jan 15th, 2008 07:02:04 AM
i dont think someone else is playing Trautman, i got the impression he was implying they used a clip from a previous Rambo movie for his flashback appearance.

If I throw a stick out of my window I'll probably hit a couple. Was walking up all those hills too much of a hassle? Anyway, whatever, each to his own I guess.. So how can Trautman be in a flashback in RAMBO if no one is playing him? Voiceover? Lookey-likey? CGI? Handpuppet?

SLY FORGET ARNOLD, HE'S OLD NEWS by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 07:26:41 AM
You need to do a Superman/Dark Knight movie with Bruce, with you playing Superman. Arnold's a joke (there, I said it, he's a fucking joke) but Bruce is a actor you can really match talents with.
other big actors in death wish? by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 07:28:19 AM
sly, i think it would be interesting if you put one other not as big as you but known actor in death wish as maybe the bad guy?
CLIFFHANGER = SLY'S 4TH BEST MOVIE by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 07:29:21 AM
After Rocky, First Blood and Rocky Balboa. Copland is great, but you weren't in it much, Sly.
movie with Bruce willis would be cool... by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 07:29:48 AM
With you guys as Cops or something...Arnie would be great! but hes still governor for 3 years..team up with Bruce after Death Wish! or after rambo 5 whichever comes first!
Sly has got class by m_prevette	Jan 15th, 2008 07:37:01 AM
And he showed it be making sure composer Brian Tyler paid proper respect and used the Jerry Goldsmith themes in Rambo. Very Nice, Sly. Goldsmith was the unifying force in all the films, he wrote some brillaint kick-ass action scores for the 3 movies and it's a wonderful gesture that Sly did not forget that. PLUS - Oscar is one freakin funny movie. Gotta love it.
SLY - I JUST SAW ON IMDB THAT ANTONIO BANDERAS by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 07:40:52 AM
has a rumored role for SIN CITY 2. That's TWO friends you have involved with that movie (well, at least Bruce used to be involved). You need to call them, take them out to a nice lunch, and ask them to get you a part. Then after you do the movie, you'll be offered more parts by Robert Rodriguez where you can be the DiNiro to his Scorcese, or Mortensen to his Cronenberg.
Guys,RAMBO do not need a partner... by travis-dane	Jan 15th, 2008 07:45:34 AM
Bruce?to ugly! Arnie?to washed up! He just needs some pet actors like Maguire,Fraser,Sandler,Stiler, Bloom and that kind of dudes,who he kills with a swing of his Machete before he goes hunting again! If Sly teams up with somebody it should be some dude like Danny Trejo or Johhny Depp(blind samurai style).

Demolition Man was great, not just because by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jan 15th, 2008 08:00:09 AM
of the action, but the whole social commentary satire. I loved it. You never think of Armor Hot Dogs the same way again. Snipes delivery of the line "Jeffrey Dahmer, I love that guy" was just sick and funny at the same time. The cast was great pre- or just on the edge of fame Bullock, Bratt, and Leary, plus Snipes, and a Jesse Ventura bit part, plus the Shawshank warden on a bad hair day. It was great. Sly goes off on PC in his Q&A today, but he totally trashes it in this movie.
If you read this, Sly... by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 15th, 2008 08:01:23 AM

AB King... by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 15th, 2008 08:07:36 AM
... that would be great. Sly has Hannibal in the A-TEAM and I would love to see him and Arnie in a Tarantino film. I don't think it would be a gimmick too, Sly is a under-rated actor in my opinion. Sure he made some not very good films in the past but who hasn't.
Sly, we need a Nighthawks sequel please. by Stalkeye	Jan 15th, 2008 08:09:22 AM

Hi Sly. Remember me. I doubt it. Anyway, after the glorified online casino commercial cash-in you called "Rocky Balboa" you couldn't pay me to see another one of your painfully rehashed white male paranoia-fueled characters on film. But I did want to say one word in response to your quote above since I know you read talkback: "Syriana"

I'm not expecting a lot of depth to the film, but the parallels to Vietnam make sense, and any exposure of the current crisis in Burma is admirable.
But I must know.... by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 08:44:27 AM
Sly, my king, in the new film after Rambo purees the truckload of Burmese soldiers with the Browning .50 caliber machine gun, does Frank Stallone suddenly pop up from behind a bush in a ruffle-shirted tuxedo with a microphone and sing, "PUSHIN! Gettin'READY for the FIGHT!" I'd fuckin' howl
Abominable Snowcone. by C Legion	Jan 15th, 2008 08:57:06 AM
Must admit you made me laugh. When I work out I do listen to Rocky tunes quite often, and Pushin does creep onto my playlist. It's nice to smile whilst pummeling a canvas wall bag.
Got to laugh at PwnedByStallone... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jan 15th, 2008 08:57:20 AM

C Legion by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 09:07:27 AM
I like the music Frank gave to the Rocky series, especially "Take You Back." Heck, I even like that "Far From Over" song he did in Stayin' Alive. The "Pushin'" tune is catchy, and while it is a bit schmaltzy, I think part of that was intentional, because it was used during Rocky's cheezy hotel-training sequence, and it was meant to be portrayed that Rocky was approaching that first Clubber fight in a none-too-serious a frame of mind, and sure enough Clubber hands him his ass

The song "Pushin'" is my sex soundtrack. I hear it, and I start thrusting. Doesn't matter if I'm dressed or not, or whether a chick is on my pony or not.
OH DAMN ABOM THAT'S A GOOD IDEA by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 09:36:22 AM
Josh Brolin is the man these days. Sly should definitely do something with him. Like a father/son action thriller.
BSB by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 09:39:06 AM
Yeah go to amazon.com and check out the plot synopsis for "Blood Oath" by Morrell. Or "Testament," that's a great book too, hunted becomes hunter. Now, I must go pretend to work in my office. But my hips will be thrustin' to the "Pushin'" soundtrack in my head, and I'll be squeezin' the bajongas of all the girls in the hallway as they pass by.
Sly's got the retro Eagles gear..... by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 09:39:06 AM
Jessica Simpson wears that stupid pink Cowboys shirt sold at the mall...and Tom Cruise doesnt even bother to wear anything Redskin, rather surrounded by 50 bodyguards. Sly's bodyguards are his left and right arm.
by justy4life	Jan 15th, 2008 09:42:30 AM

Ed Norton would have been great, or still could be rather as the lead character whose wife was killed. Forgot the character name, but the character was great. Man, I should have submitted a question and asked that one.

...I didn't ask Sly this in my question submission, but I always wondered if he had any advice for parents of autistic or retarded children. And when will a Rocky box set be released with all the deleted footage, bonus materials, fetish stuff? And will it be possible to buy fashion headbands like Rambo wears in the new film? Did Rambo knit that headband, or did he get it at the store where Rush drummer Neil Peart gets his hats? Will action figues based on the new movie feature bad guys with heads that pop off, or explode? Is killing as easy as breathing...for people with emphysema? Inquiring minds want to know. The first question was not a joke, incidentally.
Lost Jarv by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 10:16:37 AM
Americans are "fatter, louder, and stupider" than the rest? In fact, the typical American...the everyday guy in the suburban Americana, is probably one of the friendliest, welcoming, and most open minded on the planet. I've travelled the world and there's no place like the States, period.
Sly, could you describe your TV set-up? by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 10:24:52 AM
On the Rocky Balboa DVD (I believe), somebody talked about how you have this High Definition TV setup thats ridiculously real looking. Could you descibe? Brands? How its set up?

putting on pounds by ArcadianDS	Jan 15th, 2008 10:53:34 AM
FMBay asked how Sly put on 47 pounds. Simple: he got older. For a majority of men, aging changes the metabolism and your body frame just becomes wider - not neccessarily 'fatter', but you take on more of a stocky frame - your neck gets thicker, your pelvis gets larger, etc.
Tarantino wanted First Blood to end in death by Staldo	Jan 15th, 2008 10:53:45 AM
I can just picture this conversation Tarantino: 'Cause it's like,itslike, Rambo has to die, HEHASTODIE! Andhedidn't diebecauseofthehollywoodmachin e. He's the great american hero like if John Wayne had sex with Patton and they had a Davy Crockett baby whowashalf indian and got drafted and turned into a killing machine and he needed to die tragically but you didn't let him do that because of greed! Stallone: Yeah, No. Artistic Differences. (breaks Tarantino's already coke-ravaged nose)
sly is looking good by Silverglade	Jan 15th, 2008 10:55:00 AM
My co-worker who is 60 and retiring this year was standing near the TV and the Rambo trailer came on during a news break. He turned to me and asked "what are they re-releasing Rambo back in the theaters?" I had to explain that no, it is an all new Rambo. He couldn't believe it, saying it must be a remake with another actor.. then he realized it and remarked how Stallone looked the same as he did in the last film. Just thought I'd pass that along for Sly.

You may have just invented a buddy comedy by CherryValance	Jan 15th, 2008 10:58:16 AM
The wheelchairs got me thinking. Two former bodybuilders getting a little older get like osteoporosis or something. Maybe they live next door to each other and they still try to compete with each other with backyard feats of strength only to become pals who realize there's nothing wrong with getting older. Money in the bank. Thanks for doing this again, Mr. Stallone. You've got to stop picking on your old movies though. The diaper thing totally made sense in context. :D
LOL Sly's wheelchair comment made me imagine American Gladiators by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 11:01:34 AM
American Gladiators...when Sly said that I imagined him and Arnold in wheelchairs racing up the ramp in the obstacle course while the theme music plays.
Silverglade by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 11:01:49 AM
I don't think Sly looks the "same" as Rambo III in '88, but shit yeah he looks great for a guy at 60. Even without the insane physique, he's a picture of good health. Whereas most of the 60 year old guys I work with are grizzled, grey, and look every year of it. My dad, for example, is encroaching 60, and while he's a handsome enough guy, he looks 60. If not more. Maybe Sly drinks the blood of infants. He mentioned putting on some 45 pounds, which is understandable after 20 years and getting older, but he's built like a mountain. His upper body is like, I dunno, a pickup truck.

I wanted to ask him about doing some more Judge Dredd shit. If done right there are some great stories to be told from those comics. I think Stallone is Dredd as much as he is Rocky and Rambo. I would love to see him take on Paul Kersey as well,bring on Death Wish.
Arnold and Sly must do Contra while they still can. by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 11:18:41 AM
Directed by Uwe Boll. Just kidding. But a Sly/Arnold Contra movie should exist in history, shouldn't it? Both still have possibly long long careers ahead of them, but I want to see them together in action hero versions. It's like the new Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie. We finally get to see them together (at a young enough age), though the movie itself is questionable.
Contra for sure by Staldo	Jan 15th, 2008 11:25:31 AM
but they should redesign the aliens. No more half-assed xenomorph ripoffs. and it should be easier than the game, otherwise they won't make it 50 feet from the drop point without another quarter, even if they're Sly and Arnold (kidding)

save these new Sly TBs as some kinda word file? Questions, responses, TB comments and all? I want to be able to print it off, text format, and read it in the potty and whut-not. Maybe rub one out if the mood strikes.

Contra - Sly must fight a beautiful woman... by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 12:01:18 PM
...who's pigtails are giant meatclaws that fly after him. As for the Eagles, yeah they sucked this year. I was speaking of star support though. Opening day at Philly...Tom Cruise is standing behind the glass in his club seats looking at his Redskins. This means Sly has to be there in the crowd, wearing his green sweatshirt and jumping around like he did last time...so he can point at Tom in "I want chu!" fashion
Hey Sly by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 12:04:14 PM
I would have become highly aroused shooting a shower scene with Sharon Stone in Specialist. Did you? Did she hold "it" against you?
Sly is the MAN! by MacTard420	Jan 15th, 2008 12:04:42 PM
I friggin' love OSCAR! I'm glad several talkbackers do as well. I just picked up the RAMBO DVD trilogy to get myself pumped for the new RAMBO! Keep it up, Sly! Best line in Oscar: "Say hello to the Kaiser for me", Aldo says to the German Chauffeur. I don't know why, but it's my favorite.
Rambo vs. Radical Islam by SkiBum	Jan 15th, 2008 12:24:44 PM
Loved the answer to that question. I totally agree that making a movie about a lone soldier moving in and single-handedly bringing back Osama would be a huge slap in the face to the troops currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanastan. Well said Sly.
Sly is cool guy but... by Arnold Shitzembigger	Jan 15th, 2008 12:38:47 PM
...why the free pass on the HGH or roids he got popped with Down Under? It gets me to thinking about the hypocrisy of the whole HGH/sterios thing. Here we are savaging athletes because we don't want our kids to take short cuts and it's "unfair" competition for those they compete against. What about celebrities? Don't they have an influence too? Isn't your body shape a part of making a living for many roles in Hollywood? Wouldn't that keep an older guy in action roles longer than someone else thereby giving him an unfair advantage? Of course, I have no proof but at age 60 and his height to be putting on the amount of weight in muscle does not seem natural. I was a football player up through college and briefly used roids to bulk up a lanky frame. They work...real well. I have also seen HGH proposed as a medical treatment to counter aging. Rambling a bit here, but I guess my ultimate point is why do entertainers and actors get a pass on performance enhancing drugs vs. athletes? Aren't they illegal for both? Maybe that's changing though... http://tinyurl.com/ytp76v
Sly already answered about Sharon Stone by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 12:40:33 PM
...in the Rocky Q&A.
GibsonUSA by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 15th, 2008 12:45:03 PM
Yeah, I vaguely recall something about that, which is why I brought it up again. Didn't he say something about so many people being on set, and lights, and cold, that it's really not the 'hot' stuff one would think? And didn't he say something about Stone being a little uptight about it--not in a nervous way, but in a bitchy way? I dunno. I'd have rammed the bone home in the name of good cinema.
How can people dismiss a Sly and Arnold teamup? by judge dredds fresh undies	Jan 15th, 2008 12:45:05 PM
Seriously that has been the action fans hoy grail for nigh on quater of a century. Someone suggested Michael Mann + Sly. That would be the most awesome fucking thing ever.
Michael Bay would be good for Contra. by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 12:52:56 PM
Just have Sly advise him to zoom back a little and stop cutting every split second. But then you have a winner.

It's pretty good. Just strong coffee (I use espresso) and sweetened condensed milk. A hot, deliciously invigorating drink that's perfect for an afternoon of Talkbacking.
Hmm. by veritasses	Jan 15th, 2008 01:54:39 PM
Not sure where Sly's trying to go with Death Wish but I'm worried it sounds a bit like he's going slightly down the "generic" route. It's not the physical makeup so much as the atmosphere of the scene, the motivations of the characters, the manifestation of the emotions of all the actors (killer, victims, bystanders), the means and methods of the violent acts, the camera, editing, lighting, music etc that illicit the particular emotional response from the audience. Personally I'd hope for a creepy suspense thriller vs Rambo in the urban jungle.

Veritasses..i disagree by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 02:04:17 PM
I personally like stallones ideas...he talks abit more about it with IGN....actually this plot is very different than most "vigilante" flicks..so it interests me..someone who knows Violence coming back to who he was.. Death wish movies were never "suspense thrillers" more "action movies" so rambo in the urban jungle is exciting to me! im interested to see where he can take this. he mentioned to IGN that he wants to target corrupt Judges/lawyers who allow this stuff to happen...interesting stuff..

free pass by Staldo	Jan 15th, 2008 02:32:48 PM
Sly got a free pass on the HGH because it was perscription. men have declining growth hormone levels as they age, Sly just decided to do something about it. He tried to get a huge supply into Burma because it would obviously be hard to get locally. That's his take on the situation.
WHEN THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED, THEN BECOMES HUNTER by BringingSexyBack	Jan 15th, 2008 02:33:00 PM

Do you guys honestly think there'll be a Tango&Cash 2? by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 02:55:07 PM
Sheesh. Sly had to fight hard to get Rocky Balboa done his way...what are the chances for Tango & Cash? There's no way. I would think a Sly/Arnold movie would actually be more likely and sellable. Sly did look good in T&C though with those glasses. Strong, yet intelligent...I look copied by Howie Long on FOX NFL Sunday.

They wouldnt shutup about it (no offense AICN, but its true right?)...and it turned out to be exactly what was expected, financially and artistically....Ironically the big surprise of that weekend was Alvin & the Chipmunks, which conquered expectations and didnt get a single peep out of this page. Go figure.
It shows how much in the minority I am... by anchorite	Jan 15th, 2008 03:11:17 PM
when one other guy says things similar to me, and everyone thinks we're both the same TBer. Amazing. All I can say is, I promise I am not Dr H. When the new Rambo movie was first announced, people DID suppose the Rambo movie storyline would involve Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. I liked Sly's answer about not wanting to insult the troops who are over there fighting by having Rambo single-handedly capture or kill Osama. Who knows? Maybe in a few years when we're all speaking Arabic or Farsi, Rambo can get back in action to take on real evil - Hollywood. Or white rappers. Either way.

I love hearing about RAMBO by monorail77	Jan 15th, 2008 03:23:47 PM
Its like a pre-release director's commentary or something. Really pumps me for seeing the film. God, I hope it doesn't tank. It has an odd release date (during the notorious Hollywood dumping ground of January), but then, so does Cloverfield. I hope they both open big and have legs. Let's take our Januaries back, RAMBO style!! Thanks Sly.

Rambo 5 by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 03:32:11 PM
Sly said to reelzchannel he has an "abusrd idea" id love to know what that idea is..
Absurd idea huh? by GibsonUSA	Jan 15th, 2008 03:36:37 PM
At the beginning of Rambo 5, he wakes up to realize that Rambo 1-4 was all just a dream, and that he is actually Rocky Balboa and the movie is actually Rocky 7.
Couldn't Possibly Disagree More With Ken Miyamoto by LaserPants	Jan 15th, 2008 03:44:52 PM
Ken sez: "We love action and violence, but the reason Rambo has such a following is because his character has depth (many moments in First Blood, boat scene and ending of Part 2, village scenes in Part 3)." Ummm, no, not really. The reason why we love Rambo is because its fun to watch a supersoldier guy kick the shit out of people. Thats it. Since when is Rambo a character with depth? Since when was the dialogue anything less than totally hilariously bad? (That is to say "so bad its good", nay, "so bad its AWESOME!") Whoever "Ken" is, he is clearly either a studio shill, or deeply out of touch with what people like about Rambo -- killing, mayhem, and ludicrous feats of strength. I mean, I love Rambo too, but its for the mayhem and insanity, not for the "depth." If I want depth from a movie about a Vietnam vet gone caacaa cuckoo crayzay, I'll watch APOCALYPSE NOW and thrill to scenes such as Martin Sheen having a nervous breakdown, or Marlon Brando waxing psycho-rhapsodic about "piles of tiny limbs."
absurd idea by Staldo	Jan 15th, 2008 03:51:33 PM
I think he seriously said that the absurd idea had something to do with bringing Schwarzenegger and Willis into Rambo V somehow, possibly as one of their own respective past characters. my vote's for the True Lies guy, (Dutch or Terminator wouldn't fit at all, unless they didn't mention that one was a robot or the other fought a rasta alien) and John McClane.
staldo by coltrautman	Jan 15th, 2008 03:55:17 PM
I dont think thats what he meant...but the sheer testosterone in the film would make my head explode! lol
I disagree, Laserpants... by moto	Jan 15th, 2008 04:04:06 PM
If what you say was true, as far as fans just loving a super soldier just going around kicking the shit out of people then all of those 80s and 90s action hero clones/rip offs would have the same following and the same iconic status as Rambo. The original First Blood showcased a lot of depth for Rambo's character. While the second and third flicks didn't showcase as much, there's still moments in there. A far cry from the many rip offs one can see in numerous B movie flicks. Heck, Van Peebles' SOLO of the 90s would be a classic. .. God forbid (although it can be a guilty pleasure). I'm not saying that Rambo has the depth of Deer Hunter or Apoc Now, of course not. But there's more to Rambo than those other action clones.
First Blood certainly had depth... by judge dredds fresh undies	Jan 15th, 2008 04:20:17 PM
The other two, not so much. Still love 'em though. Goldsmiths scores say as much. The First Blood score is very much about Rambo's Psychology whereas the part 2 score is a more conventional action score.
Moto, Did Any Of Those Clones Have Stallone's Starpower Or Appea by LaserPants	Jan 15th, 2008 04:21:20 PM
Nope. Peebles isn't a big name star; Stallone is, and was at the time of FIRST BLOOD's opening, hence the popularity of watching him kick ass without bothering to take names. People like the guy cause he's cool and he's got the charisma to pull it off. Schwarzeneggar (sp?) is (was) the same deal. Your kidding yourself if you think the number one reason Rambo was so popular is the depth of the character. Unless, of course, by "depth of character" you mean how deep he plunges his survival knife into some guys chest.
Cliffhanger 2 was called Daylight by BitterMan23	Jan 15th, 2008 04:28:23 PM

Laser... by moto	Jan 15th, 2008 04:30:51 PM
The number one reason he was popular wasn't because of his depth of character... no. It was because he had SOME depth. If you think that Stallone's big name was the reason he stands apart, then you are forgetting the debacles that were Judge Dread (who was a character that had no depth... just a bad ass going around kicking ass), Cobra (a guilty pleasure I admit), etc. Heck, even Stallone himself agreed with the question asked.
