Sly Stallone’s Most Underrated Characters!
Kacie Lillejord, at ScreenRant created her list of the 10 Best Underrated Sylvester Stallone Characters. I love lists, so I decided to play along. Using just Lillejord’s choices, I ranked the same characters. (Please note that the higher on the list, the more underrated.) Afterwards I mention three Stallone characters that didn’t make her list, but would have made mine.

10/10 Sergeant Joseph “Joe” Bomowski from Stop or My Mom Will Shoot |
10/10 Sheriff Freddy Heflin from Cop Land |
9/10 Sergeant Deke DaSilva from Nighthawks |
09/10 Sergeant Deke DaSilva from Nighthawks |
8/10 Judge Joseph Dredd from Judge Dredd |
08/10 Gabriel “Gabe” Walker from Cliffhanger |
7/10 Frank The Repairman from Las Vegas |
07/10 Lieutenant Marion Cobretti from Cobra |
6/10 Sheriff Freddy Heflin from Cop Land |
06/10 Frank The Repairman from Las Vegas |
5/10 Gabriel “Gabe” Walker from Cliffhanger |
05/10 Lincoln Hawk from Over the Top |
4/10 Lieutenant Marion Cobretti from Cobra |
04/10 Ray Tango from Tango & Cash |
3/10 Sergeant John Spartan from Demolition Man |
03/10 Sergeant John Spartan from Demolition Man |
2/10 Ray Tango from Tango & Cash |
02/10 Judge Joseph Dredd from Judge Dredd |
1/10 Lincoln Hawk from Over the Top |
01/10 Sergeant Joseph “Joe” Bomowski from Stop or My Mom Will Shoot |
Characters that didn’t make Lillejord’s list that would have made mine:
- Jack Carter from Get Carter: Jack Carter has so much potential plus Sly had scenes that showcased some of his best acting.
- Cosmo Carboni from Paradise Alley: Wise-cracking and cynical but with a kind heart.
- Robert Rath from Assassins: Sly played an intelligent assassin who wanted out. This character had a lot of potential.
- Jimmy “Bobo” Bonomo from Bullet to the Head: Sly played an assassin who came up from the streets and wasn’t ready for the “modern” world. I liked the character and would have liked to have seen more.
Who’d I miss?

How Sly Stallone Made the Cover of a French Graphic Novel
Today we have the Colin WIlson cover to the French graphic novel Du Plomb Dans La Tête written by Matz and illustrated by Colin Wilson. If you think the the tough-guy on the cover looks like Sylvester Stallone, you’d be right.
See, Du Plomb Dans La Tête was the basis for Stallone’s film Bullet to the Head.
What’s interesting to note is the character (that Sly ended up playing) from the original graphic novel was drawn to look a bit like Sly as Jack Carter. When Sly took on the role for Bullet to the Head, Walter Hill (the director) opted for a different look and Sly agreed. So in the movie Sly doesn’t look like Jack Carter but on the Du Plomb Dans La Tête cover he does.
And now you have the rest of the story (as Paul Harvey would say).

June Vigants and Jimmy Bobo
June Vigants created the Sly as James Bonomo aka Jimmy Bobo from Bullet to the Head piece above. June was doing sketch commissions through the mail and although I’d never met her, I liked June’s art and decided to commission a few pieces. I wasn’t disappointed. This is the first with more to be posted!
You can see more of June’s art here and here.
