"Did all of his own singing in Rhinestone (1984)."yeah buddy!
"In 1988 he was offered 4 million dollars to do an advert for an American beer commercial under the condition that he cut his hair; when he refused they offered a further 1 million dollars to go to the barber - he still refused."
that had to be his worst movie, it was painful to watch.
wow, I did not know this...do you know which beer?
You win, Bluto. I give. I'd totally forgotten this gem. I've been trumped. /Let's not overlook Stop! or My Mom will Shoot, tho.
why do people focus on his failures? he has been extremely successful overall and that is what matters.

Not focusing on them, just wondering why he has so many of them when he seems to be so smart
I think it's weird that he feels the need to drastically lose/put on weight in order to play a role.
Losing the weight is his way of convincing himself that he's keeping it real as a genuine practicioner of serious acting. He remembered Deniro doing it and thought he should do it to.
I thought it was Danny Thomas who like people to shit on his coffee table while he watched?
Dude the guy has a lot of free time, is superficial and spends a lot of time, money and probably drugs to try to look good so I don't find this profound. Also never found his physique special at any time-clearly not the look of a true athlete but rather someone who's been worked-on.Obviously a huge fan; sounds like he's in love. I don't see anything amazing about his persona. He got suckered into buying high-priced art more than a decade ago because he's not quick like Schwarzenegger. The woman issue's just more of the same. He's an ordinary guy who was the one-in-a-million. If he'd had real talent he would've had a string of different movies and productions rather than just Rocky/Rambo re-hashes.
I don't remember any other action star winning an OSCAR for best screenplay (or getting a nomination for best actor at the same time). Clearly Stallone stands out, talent-wise, as far as action hereos are concerned.
This is a fabulous Stallone groupie/guy thread. Continue on gays guys.. Something called balance-to counteract sicophants like you. hahahahhaahahah
He stands out to you-one who relates to him like a maniac. He's a dime-a-dozen as an action star for the rest, based on lack of longevity and the fact he can no longer sell tickets. Does not stand out whatsoever re: talent on or off the screen.To repeat again what you don't comprehend: with 30 years of easy living, leisure, money and workouts behind him, the surprise would be *not* looking good at 60. Seriously. And 60's not even old now anyway.
What leads you to think he's smart? He had two hits out of all the movies, and sucked as a director/producer. Willis is both more talented and appears smarter. FYI all those new projects he's doing now are generally due to the fact that no one's interested in his movies; he can't sell tickets.In recent times, as in the last decade at least, all Stallone's known for is being suckered into paying big money for bad art and his preference for Cleveland Steamers.
