US Actor from Rocky and Rambo. "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he says: "I'm 5'10" and in 1993 NY Times said "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches". A 1978 Playboy claim, as commenter Bam pointed towards quoted Sly claiming early on that "I'm five feet ten and three quarters tall"
Cinema.com on meeting him, "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight" and pre-www, in 1990 Chicago Times was even bringing up the subject of footwear, "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist shoemaker once commented that "I made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!", although this is an exaggeration..
Another interesting quote is from famous screenwriter Goldman's book about lies stars tell. He says "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches." going on to revealing his source was someone who was also that height and jogged with Sly one morning. He then describes how he went into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and about 10 minutes later, "He (sly) got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet.".
Another quote comes from Supermodel Janice Dickenson's book 'Everything about me is fake' whom she recalls Sly tried picking her up (they were a couple for a while): "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also remarked "I couldn't believe how short he was"

Don't know about Sly but Tom Cruise must go around 5'7, without lifts. Seen one of his bodyguards almost knock him over when he turned around because Cruise is so short and small framed the bodyguard just did not see him. This was years ago when he was with Mimi Rodgers. Very sexy woman at the time.
It always amazes me that we all 'idolize' movie stars and sports figures to the point that we have to have them sign a piece of paper or have a photo taken with them. (Include me out!I just wanna meet them and shake their hand.)Stunt, didn't you say at one point that you were babysat by the woman who later became Rita Hayworth!? Do I remember that correctly? Man, I would live off that one for life. :)
When I was a kid I made a promise to myself to do my best to meet anyone who I felt was important to me at that time ...... those people included Steve Reeves who lived a few miles away, Chesty Puller - USMC, Bob Hope, John Wayne, every member of the early 49's, Bill Russell, Casey Jones, Marilyn Monroe, Joe Dimaggio, Jack Dempey, Arnold, Franco, Grant (both of them), Pearl, Scott, Zane, both Weiders, Hoffman, Terpak, Mable and Perry, and over 80% of all the top bodybuilders mentioned on this GetBig board since day one.
I've not only met those mentioned above, but I also had the opportunity to have a one on one conversation with each of them.
And those mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg.
But in all that time I never once thought of asking for an autograph or having a photo taken with them.
Then one day I was invited to a get together honoring Marlon Brando and as I entered the house I noticed about a thousand framed photographs on every inch of every wall of the host with various high powered celebrities and I thought, "Why didn't I think of that?"
But to this day I've never asked for an autograph.
But I do have an autographed picture of Forrest Griffin, because he shoved it in my hand as I was passing through the Olympia expo.
Anyone wanna buy it?
there humans, some days they sign autographs and are interactive, some days they just want to be left alone, everytime sly is in public he must have heaps of people ask him to sign shit, i can imagine it can be a bit tedious..not to mention Sly, Arnie, eddie murphy they all have big ego's they dont want to hear about the next upcoming star, and it seem the martial arts dude didnt make it anyway.Sly used to be known for making sure the 'underlings' were not allowed to make eye contact with him and for having those who had approached him back away while still facing him. That's pretty farked up. British royalty stopped doing that years ago because people kept falling over.

People ask me about him and Chuck Norris. Two stories and will try to make them short (I am busy). With Chuck after a morning training session with Benny Uriquedez, Bob Wall, Bill Superfoot Wallace, and a few others. Went to a restaurant for breakfast. Got there around 10am or so. We all sit down get our menus. The waitress comes over to take our order and Chuck wants egss and whatever else (a breakfast). the girl says sorry they quit serving breakfast at 10. We were about 15 minutes late or so. Chuck asks to have breakfast and she say she can't. I ask to see the manager. The manager comes out and sees Chuck and everyone else and preceeds to explain why he can't serve breakfast. Chuck gets up and says well you are making my friend mad (pointing at me) and you don't want to make him mad so we'll leave. I'm sitting there not knowing what is happening and why can't this guy serve us breakfast but we all end up leaving. Well as we are walking through the parking lot some people come over to Chuck that said they were from Canada and asked Chuck for his autograph. Chuck isn't in the best mood right now but he stops and signs autographs and takes pictures. At the same time some of the employees from the restaurant we just left came out and asked for autographs too. I said don't sign anything for them, but Chuck did anyway. He is that type of guy. Another short one with Chuck............ We were at the Forum in LA watching boxing. Everyone is asking him for autographs and we are trying to leave. He must have signed 100 while we were walking out. I kept saying Chuck lets go and he is looking at me like he is trying so I ended up acting like a bodyguard and just grabbing him and going through the crowd without signing anymore.
Now for a Stallone story. We are again at the Forum watching boxing (the photo I put up). We are in the front row with security at each entrance into this area. Well it was in between rounds and I see this little girl coming up to Sly. I have no idea how she got past the security. She comes up to him and in the cutest voice asks "Mr. Rambo can I have your autograph?" Well without even looking at her Sly takes his arm and pushes the girl out of the way and says "hey I'm busy watching the fight". Well I am sitting there not believing this. This girl was so fricken cute. Well she looks at him starts to cry and semi-runs away. I look at Sly like what a dick and then watched the girl. She goes running past the security and into the arms of this man (her dad probably). I could easily read his lips (what happened!). Well the guy went ballastic. He started yelling at Sly and trying to get by the security. The crowd was so load and the fight was going on that Sly didn't hear shit or if he did he ignored it. It ended up the guy leaving yelling at Sly and that was it. But, inside I was thinking was a fucking dick.

Of course a lot of those autograph's are sold on E-bay and such. Many of those faithful fans who want an autograph of their special hero are really looking for an extra buck. These guy's running the con will use little kid's or cute teenage girls to get Mr Hero to sign. And than turn around and sell them next day. Kind of have to ask yourself what a little girl was doing at an big event boxing match. Unless that older guy was her babysitter...yeah.
Nice try, but when that happened neither Ebay or the internet were invented ..
Sly was an asshole with his fans until the mid 90's he "messed" with this little kid in Puerto Rico when he was filming with Banderas (cant remember the name of movie) thing is that the kid's dad was so influential in the industry,that about a year later Sly ended up kissing both kids and dad's ass....even paying to fly them to Florida stay a weekend with him...DOUCHE lol.
Sly does sound like an ass. However, what kind of guy would bring a little girl to watch men beat the shit out of each other?
Keith, you still haven't answered the question... how tall is Sly ?
He is taller than arnold :o
I would say 5'7" Chuck Norris is 5'7" cause that is what he told me. My old business partner Heisman trophy winner Mike Garrett is exactly 5'7". When I introduced them they shook hands and at the exact same time said "I thought you were taller"/ That was funny. Sly wears funny shoes all the time. I was in the restroom with him once and looked down and saw them. So I don't know exactly how tall he is but if I was to guess it would be 5'7".
He is taller than arnold :o
Well actually quite a few. And mostly probably because of the celebrities that went and most of the time there is wasn't as secured as going to a big fight in Vegas. The old guy who was maybe 40 if that was the girls dad I am sure. Also Sly is the worst tipper. He will actually ask how much is 15% of whatever the price of the bill is. I am pretty sure this doesn't happen all the time. But, then again he was cheap enough to be sure to bug me or have someone else bug me to get him a free pair of Vuarnet glasses. At the time I was sponsored by them and I got alot of the crew and cast a free pair. Well he wanted the expensive Aviator pair. I got him back though when he left a fancy pair of glasses on a table and I took them. here is a picture with them on below. Made me look smart. They are clear but were cool and expensive. Can't remember the brand but it was a fancy french name.
The first pic is me on the set with a pair of Revos. When Vuarnet didn't renew my contract I called Revo up and they signed me. I gave the crew Revo and got them in the movie too
Will Smith tried to take/steal some glasses/shades from Pauly at orange county choppers when they filmed the making/presentation of his Irobot bike...
Stunt,
I love stories like those.
Please share more here when you have some time.
And Keith,
I believe you once mentioned the building rooftop in those pics with Arnold, Franco, and Sly training.
Where was that, again?
MONTAGUE, I was never 'active' in the movie busness except on the few occasions when some family members wanted me to help out. I did mainly stunt coordinating work which required my presence in a couple of hospitals checking up on my crew, but I won't go into those details here.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042372/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042372/)
I had numerous friends who were very active in the business though and always managed to be 'around' when something kind of important was happening.
Family members are still extensively involved though in such flicks as Avatar, Superman, X Men, and many other big screen hits.
It all started when an uncle was Hollywood's next best thing and appeared with Ruth Roman and Gary Cooper in a movie called "Dallas" and then snowballed when a Marine bud of mine became somewhat important in the movie industry (briefly mentioned above), and then nephews rolled into the picture and made a big success in the industry much later on.
All of which resulted in some pretty pleasant memories and numerous unbelievable situations.
Bullshit, he's only closer to the camera. ::)
Sly was never huge, just very lean. If he ever weighed more than 185 or so in his prime, I'd be surprised.
In Lords of Flatbush he was at least 220 or so I would say. Great movie too
Who gives a fuck how tall he is???? He's a fucking twink........look at his fucking toothpick legs. have you ever seen Arnold in shorts besides the Rocky movies? Hell no. He's got pencils and he knows it.
(http://www.hollywoodteenmovies.com/LordsOfFlatbushBigPic.jpg)'73 or '74? Good, good movie. Kind of like Price's 'The Wanderers.'

Superb criticism., bro.* There's something about Britcrime that is really evil. American movies get the heist aspect, but kinda lose the nasty edge. 'Course, you're talking to a guy who thought Teddy Bass was way scarier than Don Logan ever was. Sexy Beast - my ass.
Completely butchered it, go watch the original.
he was 5'6 at a horse show in the 90's...I have been saying 5'6" all along he hasnt grown at 60 something...
