SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back, and this time he’s brought with him a potential sequel to Cobra starring Sylvester Stallone. Not only do I dig the poster but props also to Moreno for his suggested title, Angel of the City: Cobra II.

Sly and the Family Stallone News for the Week:
Here’s Sly Stallone as Rocky on the cover of the December 1985 issue of National Lampoon. I have a ton of Stallone magazine appearances — especially covers — but this is one that initially escaped me. Thankfully the internet makes finding things easier.

Alex Maidy at Joblo.com posted his choices for the Top Ten Car Racing Movies. There are a few surprising choices (Cannonball Run? Talladega Nights?) and some expected ones.
I’m happy to say that Sly Stallone made the list. My first thought would have been Driven, but actually it was for Death Race 2000.

Eric D. Snider posted his choices at Mental Floss for The 21 Best Movies of the 1970s. Snider’s list contains great choices. He listed his picks (except for Godfather 2) by their year of release. I rated Snider’s choices by how they resonated with me. Here’s how things came out…
