Slyvester Stallone Retirement

[balmainbenny]

Slyvester Stallone has announced that "Rocky Balboa" (the title for Rocky 6) will be his last movie as an actor.
I think it is sad for a number of reasons. I basically grew up when Sly was the number one star in the business. Movies like Rambo and Rocky were (and still are) among my favourites.
It is also significant in that it symbolizes the death of the action movie actor. While action movie stars have been on the wane for quite some time, Stallone's retirement marks the end of an era.
What do you think of Sly? What is your favourite Sly movie?

Mine is First Blood. One of the most underrated action movies of our time.

First Blood, Cliffhanger, Tango & Cash & Cobra...few others as well...sad to hear!

I think Stop or my mom will shoot is one of the finest movies of all time.

No seriously the first Rocky was ok, and I liked cliffhanger for its cheesiness but he really is a terrible actor

I loved watching "Demolition Man" when i was a kid. One of my all time favourite all action movies. I rate it next to Terminator 2...

Definetley Demolition Man.

"You're gonna regret that for the rest of your life. Both seconds of it".

Classic.

Cobra was good too, just to see him wear sunglasses for the first 10 minutes of the movie, even when he goes home at night and starts watching TV, the shades still stay on!

If you can stand waiting for the trailer to finish buffering wait for sly's joke right at the end.

He only took the part because his kids said they wouldn't talk to him again if he didn't.

Big Seagal fan here...although his recent work is going the way of some of Stallones less memorable appearances! :crazy: ....re the FFB, as Arnie says I'll Be Back!
