The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
On August 30, 2012, the news broke that Sage Stallone died from a heart attack and that he suffered from heart disease. While this is a tragedy, the fact that many people/sites jumped to the conclusion that illegal drugs were involved only made the situation worse.RIP Sage Stallone. – Craig
Way back in October of 2011, we posted that a Connecticut screenwriter had sued Sly claiming “The Expendables” closely resembles a screenplay he wrote called “The Cordoba Caper.” I am happy to report that a judge has rejected the suit and has stated that a more formal ruling will be forthcoming.
“Bullet to the Head” has a new release date of February 1, 2013. I really am looking forward to it… hope my wife is as well since February 1st is her birthday. ; ) – Craig

ABOUT SYLVESTER STALLONE
Academy-nominated Sylvester Stallone has received worldwide recognition as an actor, writer and director ever since he played the title role in his own screenplay of “Rocky,” which won the Academy Award in 1977 for Best Picture, and brought Oscar® nominations to Stallone for acting and writing.
After the success of that seminal motion picture, “Rocky” grew into a franchise of five sequels. In 2006, Stallone concluded the series with “Rocky Balboa,” a critical and popular success that resolutely confirmed both Stallone and “Rocky” as iconic cultural symbols.
Sylvester Stallone wrote, directed and starred in “Rambo,” which continued the saga of Vietnam vet John Rambo 25 years after the debut of “Rambo: First Blood,” shot on location in Burma.
This summer, he released his most ambitious project to date — the action thriller “The Expendables” — which he wrote, directed and starred in, and which opened as Number One at the Box Office, making him the only actor to open Number One Films across Five Decades.
Sylvester Stallone‘s first role came in 1974 when he was cast as one of the leads in “The Lords of Flatbush.” He also received his first writing credit for additional dialogue on the film.
Stallone’s other credits as actor/writer/director are Rocky II and Paradise Alley. As actor and co-writer, Stallone filmed “F.I.S.T.,” “Rambo: First Blood Part II,” “Rhinestone and Rambo III.” He co-wrote, directed and produced “Staying Alive” and starred in “Nighthawks,” “Victory,” “Tango & Cash and Lock Up. Rocky V, starring and written by Stallone, opened in 1990.
He also starred in “Demolition Man,” “The Specialist,” “Assassins and Daylight.” He starred in the challenging and unique role of Freddy Hefli in “Cop Land,” had the starring role in “Get Carter,” and wrote and starred in the number one box office race-car thriller “Driven.” He filmed “Avenging Angelo” and starred as “The Toymaker” in the hit film “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. “
