Honestly

What happended to Stallone? Seems like everytime I go into a Video Store there is some movie starring Stallone that never even made it into theatres. What happened to him?

Yes, I know DRIVEN sucked (Anything Renny does is lame) but I thought after COPLAND that we'd see a new side of Stallone. Too many Rocky films, way too many RAMBO's (Should have have stopped after FIRST BLOOD).

Anyone?
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

I think you hit the nail on the head. He killed it on those, completely type casted himself, and now that's all people think of when they see him.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Sad but true.

I like Stallone and he is a good actor (Get over his speech style and the way he talks). He really is a solid actor.

I actually liked DEMO MAN and CLIFFHANGER and DAYLIGHT. They were Popcorn but fun no less.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

demolition man was great fun. and, i honesty liked tango and cash...i havnt seen it since i was little, i think maybe it was the cool car? i dunno...

i thought stallone was great in cop land.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Hey everyone, let's not forget that he did Judge Dread. Which, IMO is the worst movie of all time.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Re: Stallone and his career.

I think Stallone has a lot of good movies that I enjoy watching simply for the fact I don't have to think and can just enjoy some stupid plot-based film. It's like women's romance novels, no substance but still enjoyable.

I liked Judge Dread in that sense. Get Carter was a big failure for him I think. He put a lot of effort into that and it was marketed like nothing else and then BAM flopped.

It's strange how he can go from Rocky which won best picture at the Oscars to Get Carter.

Movies like Demo man, Cliffhanger, and Cobra are all good because they know what they are as a movie and don't try to make themselves anymore. Movies like Get Carter try to be over stylized and characterized when they really shouldn't be. It means that people who want to see some plot and action have to sit through slow dialogue character revelation sequences. This turns people off. If he's going to do a movie like that he needs to make sure the movie is like that and not half and half. Pick something and stick with it... don't waffle...
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Man,

I do have cobra on DVD, and, to be honest, I don't think it is as good as I used to think it was when I was a kid.

I enjoyed a few films with him. I got to say, I liked rambo, even though now I don't think he was such a good actor.

Demo man was quite enjoyable, Assassins was all right.

All the best

Re: Stallone and his career.

Tango and cash was good. I quite liked it. I just watched again last month.

I haven't seen driven because I thought it was going to suck, and for the looks of it, it was crap, right?

All the best

Fidel.

PS: Another actor that vanished is Van Damme. I can't even remember the last Van Damme film I watched. I think it was the one with Denis Rodman and Mikey rourke. What a crappy movie.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

I think Van Damme fell off after Street Fighter, he had a few after that, but nothing big.
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

I completely forgot about assassins. That was indeed a good stallone film... Banderas was particularly good in that I thought...
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Did anyone else think he was hilarious as Puss in Boots?
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

I think I've said this before - but if I ever need a kick start to my working out - watching those training scenes in Rockies I-IV gets me pumped as I need to be...

And yes, Banderas was awesome as Puss!
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

Regarding animation voices, I thought Stallone did well in Ants. It was almost as if he parodied himself a little (over the top).
 
Re: Stallone and his career.

I agree with that. It did seem like it was Stalone doing Stalone.
