Sylvester Stallone Remembers Hard Times

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Actor Sylvester Stallone told contactmusic, that he was in a very bad financial state when shopping around the original Rocky script to studio bosses. The actor remembers being so broke that he was forced to sell his pet dog on the street. Stallone only had $106 dollars to his name at the time. [details]

a likeable success story, just like George Lucas when he did Star Wars and JK Rowling when she did Harry Potter.

The first Rocky is still the best boxing film I've ever seen.

Same here.

But then again, I'm not much of a movie fan and I have yet to see such classics as Requiem for a Heavyweight, Fat City, Body & Soul, The Harder They Fall, On the Waterfront, etc., etc....Actually, I think I have seen Requiem in the distant past, although my memory of it doesn't go beyond a few flash images from the movie that pop into my head.

Oh ****, I forgot On The Water Front. I take it back, Rocky is my second favorite boxing movie of all time. Yogi, make sure to see On The Waterfront, it's really one of my favorite films of all time.

I will try to, for sure.

Hey, that was the movie where Brando gave his famous "coulda been a contenda" line, isn't it...Or am I thinking of the wrong one?

Yup, that's the one. Damn Brando was good in that movie!

Alright thanks, Gunner.

I just made a mention to my wife that that movie would make a nice secondary gift for Chritsmas, so with any luck I'll be able to watch it next month.
