@Bobbie Charles :) Fun fact: Originally Andy Robinson's character in Cobra was going to be revealed as the secret leader of the hammer bashing cult and he would have tried to kill Cobra at the end but they changed it during production.
Well said . I honestly believe that is one of if not his best acting . He stole the show from Deniro, Liotta, and some other big names . Have the DVD and every couple of years have to watch it
Stallone actually did some good acting here; I forgot I was watching Rocky and Rambo after awhile and just saw him as a frightened young cop. He could have had more acclaim as a character actor had he taken some more risks in that area.
Wow! Sylvester Stallone looked amazing here! Hard to believe the man went on to write and star in the role that brought him instant fame: "Rocky" (1976). You the man Sly!
One of the best episodes of Kojak! Stallone was excellent and showed that he had the chops to take on more great roles in the future. It's a very sad and cautionary tale about how life can take a turn for the worst and how you handle it can either make or break you for the rest of your life.
Stallone only got the roles he did because he was the writer of rocky and wouldn't allow another actor to play him. Stallone made his future he wasn't an early star, studios hated him, so he made his own role for himself and the people loved him.
The fact that sly worked with telly savalas says it all he went from party at kitty and studs and then stepped up his A-Game for something greater with being in kojak and pushed further to where he is and became a very well known actor he pulled it off better than what we were told at the time.
He later moved to LA and changed his name to John Spartan. He made sure that no one died whilst he was on the job, even if it meant the building got demolished.
Very cool! Good acting by Stallone. And that's the late Stephen Pearlman (who played the police psychologist in Die Hard With a Vengeance and the rabbi in Pi) as his partner.
Rumor has it that Sly was busy writing the Rocky screenplay while he shot this early role. Hence the pencil behind his ear. Too focused to remove it during takes.
I remember when Lt. Kojak first appeared in the 1973 tv movie "The Marcus-Nelson Murders" based on a true story. That kind of gritty realism was baffling by tv standards and Telly Savalas impressed so much that this role led to him star in this tv series. Everybody was glued to the tv screens to watch Kojak!
Officer Daly knew his time as a police officer had come to an end, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of Kwai Chang Caine and become a race car driver. By 2000, he became one of the best.
It was amazing to see Sylvester Stallone display some serious acting chops here in one of his early roles. Later he would go on to achieve success with writing and starring in "Rocky." And the rest is history. 😎👍
I have never seen this before. Had no idea he did some tv. Even if i never saw Rocky...watching him in this episode shows he had stardom waiting! Kinda reminds me of him in Tango and Cash!
Wasn't the great Stallone also in an early movie called "The Itallion Stallion". I remember spotting it in my local video shop back in the early 80's, although the movie may have been of the adult variety, lol.
After leaving the police. He met a man called Micky, who trained him to be a boxer. On his way to becoming world champion. He went to war and came home and faced harassment from a small town sheriff.
Once he had his name cleared, he decided to go to Vietnam for a long time to think about things and to think about his next steps. Eventually, he went back to the States to form a mercenary group.
@@junehalog024 Long before he formed a mercenary group he did a short stint as a cop. He killed a few psychos. At the time he said, crimes a disease, I'm the cure. ' After he left the police. He took up arm wrestling. After that he became a mountain climber. A sad time in his life. Because his friends girlfriend died when her harness broke. He blamed himself. He did try to save her but there was nothing he could do.
I'd love to see the full episode of this again . The last scene , where Stylone walks past Tele Savalas logged memories of that episode. IT was a great script and played to its greatest potential by the young Stylone
Sly's character wants what they want, and every other cop who spills his guts on the mean streets wants. For Kojak to love him, as much as he loves Kojak. That's what he wants.
Today i Watch Kojak sooooo classy Telly Savalas.I see him when i was young and love so much this Great Great Actor and i see today Kojak R.I.P. wonderful man.
I'm 50 now. I remember me and siblings going to bed as kids everytime we heard Rockford Files, Kojak or the M*A*S*H theme song come on. It was bedtime without anyone telling is to go to bed. My Pop's would be right there watching Columbo and all of these brilliant, interesting, good TV. I literally SLEPT ON these crime dramas. Now there's a slew of Nostalgia channels on TV that play all of theses show. I'm starting to miss my Dad this way. Thank God we enjoyed Streets of San Francisco and some of the funny things like Sanford and Son, The Marx Bros., The 3 Stooges, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchhiker's, The Munsters and his fav, The Westerns. Big Valley, Bonanza Gunsmoke and Rifleman to name a few..
Stallone was a great actor. He was one kind of a 1D actor in the early days; but that raw emotion made Rocky. I’m not saying he was actually 1D because he was 2D by Rocky III and even 3D later on. However, he really played one type of character that got him over.
It is interesting to roll back the shooting scene because Stallone’s character fires his weapon a split second after he yells halt Police. It then only literally takes him 3 seconds to figure out that he shot a kid, process that he’s in big trouble, pull out his throw away gun, and fire at the wall. This timing leads you off the trail that he actually fired those two shots because it happened so quickly. A little production scene trick to make the story twist more impactful when you find out he tried to cover it all up.
This episode was just on last night...great episode because it was morally ambiguous and left kind of unresolved, not wrapped up neatly but unrealistically like many poorly written shows.
Sylvester Stallone was one of two actors who guest starred on Kojak before hitting the big screen on the A-List. The other was Richard Gere in his late 20s.

At the Oscars when he was nominated, one of the first to congratulate him was John Wayne and Telly Savalas...dream fulfilled!

@@CP-kb1du The film ROCKY was about more than that fight. You should watch it some time, good film.
I loved seeing this! Despite struggling as an actor, Stallone believed in his dream and wrote the Rocky Screenplay. Never give up on your dreams!
Yep and just look at what he's accomplished...one of the biggest of all time. It is truly inspiring for anyone in doubt of their potential
He wasn't struggling as an actor he had plenty of roles before rocky

This is where the law stops and I start, sucka!!!
They bashed axes, not hammers.
Crime is a disease… and he became the cure.
Amazing to see a baby faced Sylvester Stallone at the start of his career, he certainly has come a long way.
He was on a roll
I love Kojac..then and now!! Sly in his youth was a inevitable superstar in the making.
Sylvester Stallone comes across as unassuming down to earth guy that’s why some of his roles are so perfect for him
Jak moja kaczka do buldoga😅😅😅😅
One of my favourite Sly film's is Copland he wasn't playing an action hero but just a normal person and he played it well.
Yes seriously underrated for Copland
Yeah he was damn good in that. I also thought he was good in Nighthawks
Well said . I honestly believe that is one of if not his best acting . He stole the show from Deniro, Liotta, and some other big names . Have the DVD and every couple of years have to watch it
He should have been nominated that year with Leo Dicaprio

@@GabrielLopez-qe2od My introduction to Sly was an episode of Kojak. In his role as a rookie police officer, he showed he was a very good actor.

He's in his 30s for this role
@@Inlinetodie just becoming 30
Very good acting sequences by Sly and the theme at the end gave me a nostalgia attack.
When he's given the right role, Stallone really shows he's an underrated actor.
And he should have been nominated for the Oscars
I just watched this episode. I was quite surprised how good he was.
Nighthawks!
@@rig4365 why? He's Sly of course he's good. He's an icon for a reason.
@@kendallrivers1119 only because he was very young here. he was very good

The scene where he's shouting at Kojak is basically the scene where Rocky shouts at Mick for asking to be his manager...it's the same acting style
Right. The style is good acting.
100% same scene.
What about my prime!!??
No, he quit the force and became a truck driver, and arm wrestled as a side hustle.
And was after he became heavyweight Champion of world, than became a veteran and shot up small town.
And after Blofeld killed Bonds wife he changed his name to Kojak
What st ans
Underated comment. Hahaha
@@whitneywilliams317 like trumpan said, he went home
The fact that sly worked with telly savalas says it all he went from party at kitty and studs and then stepped up his A-Game for something greater with being in kojak and pushed further to where he is and became a very well known actor he pulled it off better than what we were told at the time.
I thought Sly was gonna say: I AM THE LAW!!!!
Amazingly good for a young actor, even though Sly was never a "Actors' Studio" style performer he was and is a movies superstar.
You can see the determination in Stallone back then on succeeding for his chosen profession, well done.
That was his goal
Sly acted well in this role he definitely had star charisma even in his youth
30 is not young yet
I wish we had more shows like this
Great acting from Sly, never missed Kojak.
He later moved to LA and changed his name to John Spartan. He made sure that no one died whilst he was on the job, even if it meant the building got demolished.
An amazing actor from start to finish.
Very cool! Good acting by Stallone. And that's the late Stephen Pearlman (who played the police psychologist in Die Hard With a Vengeance and the rabbi in Pi) as his partner.
Great catch on Pearlman! He was an awesome actor

Crazy the video quality of this is better than most of my 4k discs.
Rumor has it that Sly was busy writing the Rocky screenplay while he shot this early role. Hence the pencil behind his ear. Too focused to remove it during takes.
This is true, I saw a Telly Savalas interview once and he stated that Sly had showed him the screenplay while shooting this episode.
Awesome bit of trivia that!
@@dan4894 he was busy by that point
Looks like the director of First Blood told him to use his style at 5:54 to really nail the "Nothing is OVER" scene.
I remember when Lt. Kojak first appeared in the 1973 tv movie "The Marcus-Nelson Murders" based on a true story. That kind of gritty realism was baffling by tv standards and Telly Savalas impressed so much that this role led to him star in this tv series. Everybody was glued to the tv screens to watch Kojak!
Man, i felt that SHUT UUPP!!! i bet Stallone still hears it in his mind...

Sylvester Stallone is a legend a good actor.
Sly will be pleased to read in the video description that he played an hung ho cop. 🤣
I read on IMDB that he rewrote some of the script in Kojak and choregraphed the fight scenes. Sly ahead of his time.
Wasn't the great Stallone also in an early movie called "The Itallion Stallion". I remember spotting it in my local video shop back in the early 80's, although the movie may have been of the adult variety, lol.
He played a rent a boy.
I was waiting for him to say: "the kid drew first blood..."
After leaving the police. He met a man called Micky, who trained him to be a boxer.
On his way to becoming world champion. He went to war and came home and faced harassment from a small town sheriff.

A sad time in his life.

never knew he was on Kojak. the man has an eye for movies and creating sequels. actor is an actor but this guy is both a actor and an artist.
It's a shame that Sly acted his heart out for this role only for it to be completely forgotten.
Maybe but it wasn't a waste. He improved through this kind of practice.
Maybe forgotten by the audience, but I'm sure directors and producers didn't forget.
"I AM A COP!!" 20 yrs or so later..."I AM THE LAW!.
That's right, he joined the best Lawmakers ever! The Judges.
Whoever said he can't act just watch this. He was quite capable
The Golden Raspberry was overreacting
Great material from the past.
05:50 Sly talking to Kojak reminds me of the end of Rambo , talking to his Colonel .
The Kojak series starred quite a number of actors and actresses who turned out to be stars.
He is great actor in any role
Wow i watched kojak as a kid but never realised that the LEGEND #slystallone #sylvesterstallone was in it 😲💪🏼😎👊🏼
WOW Sly is an amazing actor.
Policing hasn't changed since the 70s - Sly yells "Police! 0.1 of a second before opening fire 😂
Stallone is a realy good actor.
And that started Stallone's grudge against the police that flared up in the filming of First Blood.
“Police-bang!” Ah, the good ‘ol days. Yesterday.
Coroner 2 hrs later: he's dead
Stallone: FREEZE! POLICE!

The one liner remember from Kojak was who loves you baby
(wardrobe) "What are you talkin' about Sly? Dat hat's very stylish!"
I think that was the same hat he used in Paradise Alley.
"Who loves ya, baby?" "ADRIAAAAAAN!"
This is where the law stops…And Sly starts!
STALLONE IS AMAZING
I need to do research, but I think Sly co starred with Chuck Connors in an episode of Police Story right after this
Terrific. Performance from the young Stylone in this episode of Kojak !. Obviously Tele Savalas so potential in the young man !
Adorava assisti os filmes dele detetive era muito bom
I saw him on Police Story playing Chuck Connor's partner.
I don't know if anyone noticed but the couple that was walking on side walk didn't even blink when two shots were fired.
Good acting by sly
Loved it and he kept punching... to be what he is today . Love Sly
so do i
Most actors become actors but a few become writer, producer, director and an actor such as Stallone.
Same with Kevin Costner
And that's how the story of Rambo began...
Stallone's acting ability hasn't gotten any better either!
Single
Sly is indeed that dude. Watch the first Rambo film First Blood. He did a great job playing a Vietnam Vet looking for his friend.
One of my fab Stallone movies is Copland
This is a good prequel to Rocky.
Class, used to watch this when I was a small boy.
Sylvester Stallone was one of two actors who guest starred on Kojak before hitting the big screen on the A-List. The other was Richard Gere in his late 20s.
