CycleChat Investigates - Sylvester Stallone

[Fnaar]

Cop Land. He's really good in that.

Cop Land is an absolute masterpiece of a film. Stallone acted DeNiro, Liotta and Keitel into the corner with that one.

I'll say it again. I'm really not a Rocky or Rambo kinda guy, just not my thing. Cop Land is a great movie.
I watched Cop Land because De Niro, Liotta and Keitel were in it. Stallone was an absolute revelation for me in it. A great performance in what has become one of my fave films.

Without a doubt it's Rocky.

 

[AndyRM]

Cop Land. He deserved an Oscar for that performance.

Rocky would be a very close second.

First Blood

 

[AndyRM]

And as @Electric_Andy noted, why no Rambo? A pretty strong series I think, though it does have some absolutely ridiculous bits.

I went for Rocky, but it was a tough call between Cop-Land and Cliffhanger too. Although I like demolition man too.

Fsck it, he's never made a bad film

 

[Beebo]

Over the top.
It’s basically Rocky but with arm wrestling instead of boxing.
And some big American trucks for good measure.

 

[AndyRM]

The Party at Kitty and Stud's not get a look in either?

The poll allows only so many options, and as good as Rambo ismits only fair that the much beloved Stop or My Mom Will Shoot gets a look in.

I make it 3 votes for Rambo so far...

The Expendables gets my vote for it's gritty realism, believable screenplay and superb casting.................not.

I love the way they don't take themselves seriously in those films.

It is no contest......ROCKY
Anyone who can eat 4 raw eggs in a glass of milk at 5 in the morning before going for a 5 mile run while shouting ADRIAN, I LOVE YOU ADRIAN .....and then chase a chicken around the back alley just has to be kick arse tough

I'm still not sure why he felt that running up a mountain in Russian tundra would be good training for punching a Russian man who has more than half a foot on him.
