I met him at the Arnold classic several years ago. He patiently talked to everyone that wanted to meet him and posed for pictures. He was very friendly and seemed to appreciate all his fans.

@@bugsy742 He wasn't always kind, some people said in the 80's around the time of the movie Cobra he had a big ego. He was married to Brigette Nielson, even the director said he was difficult to work with and Brian Thompson who played the night slasher wasn't invited to the opening of the film. People change and mature, good to see Stallone appreciate his fans.
Sly has already cemented himself as an action hero legend with the Wayne’s, Eastwoods, Bronsons , Mcqueens…he’s cemented it a long time ago in fact..and he’s STILL putting out quality work! Legend.
Don't forget Cobra and Over the Top! I know it's not his best movie, but Cobra is by far my favorite of his. If there's one of his movies that I really wish would've become a trilogy, Cobra is it.
@@MatrixCobretti Tango and Cash was dynamite and where the word FUBAR came from. I always wondered if Kurt Russel gave Arnold permission to use that name for his show...
@@JaysonT1 Not really, it's just an opinion. If opinions had wings, RUclips would be an airport. Just like this is my opinion, even if it's the closest approximation to truth about this subject you are going to find.
Good friend of mine went to school with his son (RIP) and used to hang out at their house after school. Couldn't say enough great things about Stallone.
He's very down to earth because he remembers the struggles he had to endure to just get a start in the film industry. He had many doors closed in his face while trying to sell the screenplay for Rocky and going hungry on many occasions. The producers offered him money not to star as Rocky. He refused the money and stuck to his guns and the rest is history.
I'm glad to hear that Stallone is a good guy. I don't expect him to be Rocky or Rambo, but I'd hope that he was nice to fans. That dude is an inspiration.
Not really. He was white and tall. That itself helps you achieve many things in Hollywood. If he was a short minority man and still made it to his level then i would agree that yes. He really worked his way up there
@@BillyBillionaire-gm9cl I'm not sure if you're trolling or somehow biased and unhappy. But you're discrediting people by saying such nonsensical things. So just because someone's white, he can never truly achieve anything because it's basically handed out to him? I hate to say it, but that sounds a little racist. And he's average height.. Nothing tall about him. Also, you do know he was declined by studios for having this partial facial paralysis? So he did it himself.. It takes enormous willpower, passion and risk to be able to make it in Hollywood by yourself. He wrote Rocky, it's HIS movie. And it became a hit. He achieved it. Whether you agree or not.
I was always more of an Arnie fan but to be honest, Sly is more my favourite now. He still gives it 100% and is believable as an action hero, even though he is 'old'. His onscreen charisma is still there, perhaps even more so. Arnie looks old and just doesn't cut it anymore. Massive respect to Sly and I hope he keeps going.
I have always had respect for Stallone because of everything he had been through to be where he is today. Like all the other actors, he has made some awesome movies, and he has learned from his not so good ones what not to repeat. He will remain one of my favorites.
Dude, that scene between Stallone and Weathers where Apollo was basically saying "I want to go out on my shield" was really something. If you watch the director's cut it definitely gives a different vibe to Apollo -- he was basically saying that if he couldn't be the apex predator he would rather fight and die to someone who could. It was a really interesting, existential scene, and in some ways, resonates with what's said in the video about Stallone wanting to stay on top -- basically, no one has achieved the apex status or hunger that Stallone and Arnold had back in the 80s and 90s, and that's why we don't see anyone properly carrying their torch. Vin Diesel and The Rock SHOULD have been the successors to Arnold and Stallone, but they made way too many soulless blockbusters that don't really stand the test of time the way Arnold and Stallone did.
Great points! I've always seen Diesel as very Stallone like in the sense he's a great actor, whereas the Rock is much more Arnold like, bigger than life personality but really kinda just plays himself.
They call it toxic masculinity, and the deep state New World order doesn’t want heroic men doing the right thing for the right reasons. That type of superhero cowboy on the Whitehorse who rides in to save the day, and doesn’t ask for anything, was done away with by the deep state. That’s why we haven’t seen many martial arts, action heroes, who are American, except for Michael Jai White and Wesley Snipes or a real American hero since Chuck Norris.
@@VikingSamurai I have to be honest. I think Diesel is a one note actor that plays every character the same way. But then, so does the Rock. Seriously easy to type cast, both of them.
The Rock should have logically been the next successor to Arnold and Sly, but there's just something about him that comes off as unauthentic.. hard to explain but I can't even see these "Gen Z" kids, who grew up watching the Rock, idolizing him the way myself and all of the other Viking Samurai subscribers idolized Arnold and Sly
@@cebukid70 The Rock has WWE, Hulk Hogan, Cheese Rizz. Arnold has legitimate charisma. He oozed it. So much so that accent didn't hamper him one bit. He had that rizz and that brain during body building, moving other men around like chess pieces. He did it in Hollywood, passing by open casting calls for his own tailor made roles and bank rolled it with his investment portfolio born from his BB winnings and sponsorships, then he showed the entire country his rizz becoming the governor of CA. Now that's that big man rizz. He even got things done after a year of arguing when he realized he needed to use that natural rizz to smooth over the rough spots in his negotiation skills. And as you can see, he got results. No, the Rock is not Arnold, even if he is using the same blueprint. However the Rock isn't the autodidact Arnold is. He's not as talented and naturally gifted. He is, to put it fairly, the gas version of Arnold's Turbo Diesel. The Land Cruiser to Arnold's Hummer. Pick an analogy if you wish. It's all the same in the end. The Rock's movies will never stand the test of time that Arnold's best have. I will watch T2 over 99% of the Rock's catalogue and that's just ONE of Arnold's greatest movies.
JCVD seemed cool in his interviews. Even when asked about Segal, he was very complimentary. He acknowledged that Segal didn't like him, but he didn't dwell on it.
Stallone has always been one of my all time favorites. As a kid , to me he was larger than life and I seriously thought he was around the same size as Arnold. Knowing that he wrote and directed some of the best action films that had depth and heart, just shows how much he truly understands and represents men. Deeper than you think, with heart that drives them forward in times of struggle.
Many years ago, my father was a commander of peacekeeping forces in Syria. He met Sylvester Stallone in a hotel elevator while he was filming Rambo 3. He was very interested in my fathers job and invited him for a drink. Apparently he was a very nice person.
He stopped at my Aunts house in NE Philly during a family get together. He was nice to everyone, especially my nephew who had severe Down syndrome. He’s a legend !
Great video. Can't think of anyone who has provided more truly masculine on-screen heroes than Sly. No one comes close to his body of work as a writer, actor, or director. A modern day renaissance man.
I'm a street preacher and sometime in the late 90's I was preaching in front of the Planet Hollywood at the Horton Plaza in San Diego. Stallone came out, stood on the balcony, and listened to me preach for several minutes.
I think I kinda get Stallone’s ego trip in the 80s. In less than a decade, he’d gone from poverty to being an Oscar nominee, rich beyond his wildest dreams, and one of the two most popular movie stars in the world. But he also knew that it could all be taken away just as fast as it was given. I think a lot of the controlling attitude on set was fear. Now that he’s older, and the lull his career hit in the late 90s-2000s wasn’t as bad as it could have been, he can just relax and enjoy it.
Based on the scripts he writes, the interviews he does, and random youtube videos, it seems like Sly is a pretty introspective guy. Usually guys like that are patient and friendly and have their ego in check.
What we need is someone who takes their place who came from the same material. Fit , body building background, as well as material arts trained with good acting skills .
I got to wear the robe from the Rocky movie. I used to hangout in Greenacres Florida with Bryan Rhodes who’s stepson of Stallone’s dad. But then he got arrested for murder and I lost contact with him. The robe is cool and kinda heavy.
I’m glad it turns out Stallone was such a down to earth guy. Rocky Balboa is one of my favorite all time characters. Rocky wasn’t very smart, but he was wise. An extremely deep character that would take a great mind to create in my opinion.
Glad to see you took the advice I gave you some time back about using more big celebrity orientated videos and people currently in the news or being talked about on social media.
Everyone I’ve ever spoken too that met Mr. Sly has had great experiences with him. I once did hair for a really rich model in my town named Sherri Stone, who owned several medical clinics her dead husband left her. Sly had 3 or 4 different men help him get a date with her when he visited PCB. She said he was a complete gentleman, very humorous, and a really good date. I never got to meet him for he was only in my town 7 days that year; however, I saw him being driven on the beach in a Rolls and he had his make-up on and definitely “was in character”. He taught me, that male make-up is just a part of good daily hygiene! I Love Stallone! 🇺🇸🙌🏻
It's not entirely surprising, but it is great to hear that Sly is a real one. Like so many other guys who grew up in the 80s, I idolized the larger-than-life action heroes, especially Arnold and Sly. One of the greatest disappointments of my life was hearing Arnold say "Screw your freedom." It was like watching my hero die. I don't think I could take it if Sly turned out the same way.
You tell by watching the podcast his daughters have. They absolutely adore him. He's their hero. He openly makes fun of himself and is very down to earth. If you get a chance watch their interview with him.
@@VikingSamurai Though the unrealistic scene where he´s in the water and jumped in a helicopter to fight a bad Russian. Maybe there was a trampoline in the water😁.
Stallone is one of my inspirational legendary gentleman, his movies are motivational and most of the messages about life's ups and downs can be found in his movies.may he continue to entertain us for a long time.bless him.
It's so great to hear he's a good dude. There's enough ego and douchbagerry among celebrities going around, so the fact that one of my childhood heroes isn't tool is refreshing.
Mr Stallone has a great and admirable work ethic and I admire him. He is certainly a motivational inspiration for me in life and business. He really believed in himself and seems a thoroughly decent man from humble beginnings. It would be a pleasure to meet him.
GREAT VIDEO! I will love these guys forever. Harrison Ford just finished his last Indian Jones. I was sad to see it. Heart broken. One day, these guys will all stop. Sad...
This is great to hear. Always loved Stallone. I had a similar experience when I met John Carpenter. Just a really cool guy. Very friendly and great with everybody.
Youre hero is human and that means that they can be crumby or have a bad day...... still respect them for the fun they bring you on the big screen . Thank you for youre video's and keep on sending. Greetings from the Netherlands 💪 OSU 🥋 My heroes are Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris 🥋
One of my biggest heroes. I always cry with Rocky, he is always there when I have bad days. Today is also my mother's birthday so we always celebrate double at home!
No one will ever replace them in our eyes because I believe one of the requirements are that they are an older individual. When sly was in his 30s I could look up to him because I was 10. Now it's the same thing because I'm 48 but he has years of life experience on me. Anyone new can be impressive to watch but will always come across as a little naive and ignorant. It's a bit like the movie the breakfast club. When I was 12 I was all like "they are so cool. I wanna be just like that guy". I watch it now and still think it's a great film but looking down on them as an adult I'm like "what do these kids know. They need some serious discipline". Perceptions change over time even if the subject matter does not.
Dude I'm so glad to hear that Sylvester Stallone is an amazing person because I can't see somebody who's been homeless before and on the streets who got out of that situation to acting just to turn around and look at people and be like oh you're listening me yard just a bunch of bums you're below me you know I mean like I'm just glad that people have nothing but the greatest things to say about this man because it would have broken my heart if I ever met Sylvester Stallone and just to find out that he's this terrible person who just puts up this act that he's not who he says he is and he would be willing to show it
You can see that on screen ! Stone Cold Steve Austin said that he never met an Alpha like Sly while filming Expendables and I believe him. Arnold and Sly will always be the ones ! No one can replace them ! No one !
I know someone who dated Stallone a very long time ago (late 80's early 90's)... she had nothing bad to.say.... and I work with a guy who was part of the 1980's Venice Beach muscle scene... Arnold told him to rotate his wrists on his bicep curl to hit the brachialis - these guys really are just people
Ahh, great interview. I always love the story of a co-star, artist, camera crew, tell you about a major star they have worked with and its nice to know that many are as we expected like off screen the do choose to be genuine and treat everyone as they would be like to be treated makes you feel good inside as a true movie fan and another question I have for you is I'm a major major Kurt Russel fan he should be in to this action hero list I know he didn't do alot but the ones he did was awesome as my favourite movie of all time list big trouble in little China is up there I know that movie word to word scene to scene would be nice you get something on him aswell may be one day
Nice to hear, never met the man but have been following him on Twitter and Instagram. Sly is so personable and humble, especially with everything he has been through, wheras as some other stars come of as dicks. Massive respects to the Italian Stallion who just turned 77 this week. Dude has still got it, Keep punching Sly.
That's awesome im glad to hear once again that he is a good person ive heard it from alot of people but ive never net him myself and probably won't but its a relief to hear that someone i always looked up to is really as good as he appears in his work
I seriously hope Jean Claude van Damme wasn't one of those actors whom was a serious dick you were talking about but it wouldn't change my view about him. Viking Samurai your editing is top notch I've got so much admiration for Sly and keanu Reeves, because they're just so real and what you see is what you get.
Sylvester Stallone experienced a dramatic personality transformation after the tragic, untimely death of his son Sage. Stallone's second son, Seargeoh, who played the infant Robert Balboa in Rocky 2, is severely autistic, and Sylvester loves him dearly. He spent as much time with Seargeoh as he could in between making films.
I've had the opportunity to meet several celebs by chance including Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, George Clooney and Juiliana Margulies, I even met Oprah when she first came to Chicago walking down Michigan Avenue and I have to say they were all very cool. The one sports celeb I met, who is true to that quote, won't mention his name but lead the league in base stealing during his time was a total let down and I was like "wow".
Stallone is the epitome of Alpha Male. Top Dog. Put him in the Jungle and a Lion would have to give up its Throne. Even in his Seventies he is still punching through walls 💪👊
Stallone had a reputation for being overbearing and controlling behind the scenes in his early days. The first decade of his career, he was the biggest box office draw in the world, and his innate strength of personality tended to lead him to take charge. Not a bad guy, but a very domineering figure when it came to how his movies were made. And, in fairness, those were the years when he made most of his greatest movies(Rocky 1-4, Rambo 1-3, Cobra, Over the Top, Lockup)...Since he became more easy going, his movies have never been as good.
I always saw Arnold as the number one action star until I saw his bio on Netflix and realized he bankrolled his own projects. It then occurred to me HOW a man that could barely speak English was getting into these huge movies. He says it himself. He said he didn't want to be an actor, he wanted to be a star. He didn't want to hone his craft until End of Days! It blew my mind. Made him lesser to me to know that he paid to become famous and made me respect every other actor that did it the hard way, especially Stallone. Don't get me wrong, those Arny movies were really dope. But now that I look back, Stallones movies were right on par and usually more interesting. I give exception to T2 but then that's James Cameron and of course Arnold bank rolled it.
What ever I have learned today by watching the movies of Stallone specially Rocky and Rambo .For others it was just a movie but to me it was real because the emotional content was there and Bruce Lee said about the emotional content is to feel .I feel ROCKY , RAMBO movies one of the greatest classic movies or ever green movies. I love Stallone because in the movies the realistic feelings he gave to others specifically me I carry those principles and teachings everyday into life I feel him every moment of my life he is a warrior he has proved age is just a number.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🧡👍 with love and respect Anirban Nandy from India. Take care man and thanks for this video.
There’s still nobody young to pass the to. They need to be a regular guy size but ripped. Can’t be a giant. Needs to be an Everyman in shape. Not too handsome. Needs to be relatable. With sly you always though “I’m as big or bigger than him, if I train hard I can be like that”. He’s such a cool guy. Would love to hang out with Sly.
I have meet many famous people. I could have talked to the Iron Sheik at a comic show. Instead I just watched him crush nuts with his thumbs and curse. It was better not to annoy him.
I loved Rocky, and yet I grew up with the idea that Stallone wasn’t very smart! I didn’t really think that, but my mom used to make fun of the way he talked. One day as an adult, I realized what a great actor he is! I mean one of the greats! He created a household name and played that role! I have so much respect for him in everything he does and if you haven’t seen the movie F.I.S.T., you are missing an opportunity to see his true acting skills!
I saw a interview with the writer of the Rocky story. He claimed Stallone promised to pay him as soon as the movie made money, Stallone never paid him.

One of Stallone’s best roles, highly underrated, but with phenomenal acting, was in Copland. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
Great movie!
Great video. Can't think of anyone who has provided more truly masculine on-screen heroes than Sly. No one comes close to his body of work as a writer, actor, or director. A modern day renaissance man.
I met him on the set of Rocky Balboa when I was an extra. Happy Birthday Mr. Stallone
Bro, that is like one of my bucket list desire is to meet Sylvester Stallone while he is in character, as Rocky Balboa.
I'm a street preacher and sometime in the late 90's I was preaching in front of the Planet Hollywood at the Horton Plaza in San Diego. Stallone came out, stood on the balcony, and listened to me preach for several minutes.
I had the pleasure of walking around st Andrews old course with him during a pro am back in 1996. Such a nice guy, really down to earth and humble.

One of the greatest disappointments of my life was hearing Arnold say "Screw your freedom." It was like watching my hero die. I don't think I could take it if Sly turned out the same way.
Arnold grew up in a Nazi background. Most Germans are closet Nazis. USA actually hired a lot of talented Nazis post WW2.
You tell by watching the podcast his daughters have. They absolutely adore him. He's their hero. He openly makes fun of himself and is very down to earth. If you get a chance watch their interview with him.
I just got to say I met my hero when I looked in the mirror and darn I was impressed :)
So you DID see me in the mirror behind you! I am so flattered, thank you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Trick-Framed lol good one !!!!
@@michaeldietz2648 Thank you. I thought it and couldn't help myself.
@@Trick-Framed i’m glad you got a good laugh, I wrote the comment to make people laugh
@@michaeldietz2648 Same! 🤣🤣
Stallone looked the best in "First Blood-part 2". The long hair, the body. He never looked better in his life.
Absolutely incredible in that film!
@@VikingSamurai Though the unrealistic scene where he´s in the water and jumped in a helicopter to fight a bad Russian. Maybe there was a trampoline in the water😁.
I think looks great right now . Guy is over 70
@@PsyKotyK Sly's body type is every guy's 70 goal.
People want to see themselves improve with age, not break down.
@@PsyKotyK But with hairplugs or hair transplantation🙂.
Stallone is the goat.
Agreed
Great ones SLY,KEANU REEVES ,SANDRA BULLOCK, R.I.P PAUL WALKER FOUR OF THE NICEST
I remember watching First Blood at the movie theater as a kid what an experience.
Stallone is one of my inspirational legendary gentleman, his movies are motivational and most of the messages about life's ups and downs can be found in his movies.may he continue to entertain us for a long time.bless him.
It's so great to hear he's a good dude. There's enough ego and douchbagerry among celebrities going around, so the fact that one of my childhood heroes isn't tool is refreshing.
Mr Stallone has a great and admirable work ethic and I admire him. He is certainly a motivational inspiration for me in life and business. He really believed in himself and seems a thoroughly decent man from humble beginnings. It would be a pleasure to meet him.
Don't forget about Nighthawks and Get Carter. 2 underrated Stallone films..
Definitely
GREAT VIDEO!
I will love these guys forever.
Harrison Ford just finished his last Indian Jones. I was sad to see it. Heart broken.
One day, these guys will all stop. Sad...
As much as I love Sly's action movies, I have to say my favorite thing he's done is Oscar.
Met Sugar Ray Leonard last year what a great humble guy
This is great to hear. Always loved Stallone. I had a similar experience when I met John Carpenter. Just a really cool guy. Very friendly and great with everybody.
John hates studio execs, not the people.
Yeah and I met Ghandi
Youre hero is human and that means that they can be crumby or have a bad day...... still respect them for the fun they bring you on the big screen . Thank you for youre video's and keep on sending. Greetings from the Netherlands 💪 OSU 🥋 My heroes are Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris 🥋
One of my biggest heroes. I always cry with Rocky, he is always there when I have bad days. Today is also my mother's birthday so we always celebrate double at home!
To him retiring must be same as being exile and forgotten, like in that Judge Dread scene.
I am so glad to learn this about Sly! Thank you.
No one will ever replace them in our eyes because I believe one of the requirements are that they are an older individual. When sly was in his 30s I could look up to him because I was 10. Now it's the same thing because I'm 48 but he has years of life experience on me. Anyone new can be impressive to watch but will always come across as a little naive and ignorant.
It's a bit like the movie the breakfast club. When I was 12 I was all like "they are so cool. I wanna be just like that guy". I watch it now and still think it's a great film but looking down on them as an adult I'm like "what do these kids know. They need some serious discipline".
Perceptions change over time even if the subject matter does not.
My aunt was on the set of the movie Fists. She asked him for a autograph he said don't bug me and had her walk off the set.
I'm sure there's more to the story
Sly is on top because people knows he cares about the work and when you love what you do people can tell
Thats great to hear that Sly is a stanup dude in person!love sly also
Stallone has many great films like Lock Up, Demolition Man and Cliffhanger.
I really enjoyed this video, nice little clips throughout. Classy! Just like sly.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Sylvester Stallone is a great actor very underrated especially Copland. At the same time he does know what the audience want.
Sean Claude is my favorite
Really? You can´t even spell his first name.
It's spelled Jean Claude!!! not Sean you fool!
@@KatzenhaseSean Claude is just Jean Claude cousin. 😁
John Claude actually Jean, though
Great working in the movie clips!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude I'm so glad to hear that Sylvester Stallone is an amazing person because I can't see somebody who's been homeless before and on the streets who got out of that situation to acting just to turn around and look at people and be like oh you're listening me yard just a bunch of bums you're below me you know I mean like I'm just glad that people have nothing but the greatest things to say about this man because it would have broken my heart if I ever met Sylvester Stallone and just to find out that he's this terrible person who just puts up this act that he's not who he says he is and he would be willing to show it
Love everything Stallone does. If people like the Rocky movies Stallone released Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut Its awesome!
You can see that on screen ! Stone Cold Steve Austin said that he never met an Alpha like Sly while filming Expendables and I believe him. Arnold and Sly will always be the ones ! No one can replace them ! No one !
Check out what the bad-guy in Cobra had to say about Stallone though.
He wasnt even invited to the premiere.
I'm so stoked for The Last Kumite!
Thanks, you won't be disappointed!
And I'm a big fan of your channel
I know someone who dated Stallone a very long time ago (late 80's early 90's)... she had nothing bad to.say.... and I work with a guy who was part of the 1980's Venice Beach muscle scene... Arnold told him to rotate his wrists on his bicep curl to hit the brachialis
- these guys really are just people
Cool, thanks for sharing.
The gap of these guys is so wide because Hollywood, doesn't want old school masculine heros
Ahh, great interview. I always love the story of a co-star, artist, camera crew, tell you about a major star they have worked with and its nice to know that many are as we expected like off screen the do choose to be genuine and treat everyone as they would be like to be treated makes you feel good inside as a true movie fan and another question I have for you is I'm a major major Kurt Russel fan he should be in to this action hero list I know he didn't do alot but the ones he did was awesome as my favourite movie of all time list big trouble in little China is up there I know that movie word to word scene to scene would be nice you get something on him aswell may be one day
Kurt's great!
Viking samurai...you should inverview Jason Statham on Martial arts and training
All round good guy, love him.
Met him in 82 when he was filming First Blood in Hope B.C.
Sly is the best ,everybody loves the guy.
Nice to hear, never met the man but have been following him on Twitter and Instagram. Sly is so personable and humble, especially with everything he has been through, wheras as some other stars come of as dicks. Massive respects to the Italian Stallion who just turned 77 this week. Dude has still got it, Keep punching Sly.
That's awesome im glad to hear once again that he is a good person ive heard it from alot of people but ive never net him myself and probably won't but its a relief to hear that someone i always looked up to is really as good as he appears in his work
I seriously hope Jean Claude van Damme wasn't one of those actors whom was a serious dick you were talking about but it wouldn't change my view about him.
Viking Samurai your editing is top notch I've got so much admiration for Sly and keanu Reeves, because they're just so real and what you see is what you get.
My first hero.
Sylvester Stallone experienced a dramatic personality transformation after the tragic, untimely death of his son Sage. Stallone's second son, Seargeoh, who played the infant Robert Balboa in Rocky 2, is severely autistic, and Sylvester loves him dearly. He spent as much time with Seargeoh as he could in between making films.
Glad to hear even more confirmation that sly is the real deal. And very true words exchanged by you both here. 🙏
I've had the opportunity to meet several celebs by chance including Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, George Clooney and Juiliana Margulies, I even met Oprah when she first came to Chicago walking down Michigan Avenue and I have to say they were all very cool. The one sports celeb I met, who is true to that quote, won't mention his name but lead the league in base stealing during his time was a total let down and I was like "wow".
Great stuff! I believe that there is still a lot more left in Sly!
Happy Birthday Sly 💪🇮🇹🐴
Sly is a total class act.
Stallone is the epitome of Alpha Male. Top Dog. Put him in the Jungle and a Lion would have to give up its Throne.
Even in his Seventies he is still punching through walls 💪👊
Stallone had a reputation for being overbearing and controlling behind the scenes in his early days. The first decade of his career, he was the biggest box office draw in the world, and his innate strength of personality tended to lead him to take charge. Not a bad guy, but a very domineering figure when it came to how his movies were made. And, in fairness, those were the years when he made most of his greatest movies(Rocky 1-4, Rambo 1-3, Cobra, Over the Top, Lockup)...Since he became more easy going, his movies have never been as good.
I always saw Arnold as the number one action star until I saw his bio on Netflix and realized he bankrolled his own projects. It then occurred to me HOW a man that could barely speak English was getting into these huge movies. He says it himself. He said he didn't want to be an actor, he wanted to be a star. He didn't want to hone his craft until End of Days! It blew my mind. Made him lesser to me to know that he paid to become famous and made me respect every other actor that did it the hard way, especially Stallone. Don't get me wrong, those Arny movies were really dope. But now that I look back, Stallones movies were right on par and usually more interesting. I give exception to T2 but then that's James Cameron and of course Arnold bank rolled it.
He did do it the hard way too as in got the money for the films despite starting off broke, so that's pretty admirable itself!
@VikingSamurai Agreed. He did. He did it his way, and I respect that. He's still an incredible person regardless of when he started acting.
What ever I have learned today by watching the movies of Stallone specially Rocky and Rambo .For others it was just a movie but to me it was real because the emotional content was there and Bruce Lee said about the emotional content is to feel .I feel ROCKY , RAMBO movies one of the greatest classic movies or ever green movies. I love Stallone because in the movies the realistic feelings he gave to others specifically me I carry those principles and teachings everyday into life I feel him every moment of my life he is a warrior he has proved age is just a number.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🧡👍 with love and respect Anirban Nandy from India. Take care man and thanks for this video.
Thanks, glad you liked the video!
There’s still nobody young to pass the to. They need to be a regular guy size but ripped. Can’t be a giant. Needs to be an Everyman in shape. Not too handsome. Needs to be relatable. With sly you always though “I’m as big or bigger than him, if I train hard I can be like that”. He’s such a cool guy. Would love to hang out with Sly.
There’s Stallone, then there’s everyone else.
Happy bday Sly, the Goat!!!
🎉
yup I subbed to paramount for tulsa king
I hope I look half as good as sly at his age ,love Sly.
moi j'ai un grand respect pour stallone par ce que c'est mon idole et pour moi c'est le plus grand acteur de film action de tous les temps selon moi.
Hopefully Rush Hour 4 will be a massive EPIC ACTION COMEDY film.
Happy 77th Birthday Sylvester Stallone! 7/6/46
I have meet many famous people.
I could have talked to the Iron Sheik at a comic show. Instead I just watched him crush nuts with his thumbs and curse. It was better not to annoy him.
Im a huge fan of sly , rocky is my favourite movie of all time
I loved Rocky, and yet I grew up with the idea that Stallone wasn’t very smart! I didn’t really think that, but my mom used to make fun of the way he talked. One day as an adult, I realized what a great actor he is! I mean one of the greats! He created a household name and played that role! I have so much respect for him in everything he does and if you haven’t seen the movie F.I.S.T., you are missing an opportunity to see his true acting skills!
maybe he stayed in character his whole career
What’s the movie where he throws the guy in the train?
I saw a interview with the writer of the Rocky story. He claimed Stallone promised to pay him as soon as the movie made money, Stallone never paid him.
