This is Brent Schoonover’s take on Sly as Jack Carter and it’s a great one. Brent was creating art for folks who’d donate to the Special Olympics and I jumped on board. How awesome is it that Brent was drawing for charity? Very awesome is the correct answer. If you’d like to see more of Brent’s art check out his website or his Twitter.

FAN2FAN Podcast: Craig Zablo Talking Stallone Interview Part 1
The Fan To Fan (F2F) podcast with hosts Bernie Gonzalez, Peter Charbonneau and Doug Ziegler takes a simple idea and does it well. Each episode of F2F features a conversation between fans. The subject could be movies, comics, TV, video games, toys, cartoons, or anything pop culture! Bernie, Peter and Doug pick a fan with a love and/or knowledge of the episode’s topic and then do a deep dive.
Recently, the F2F team spoke with me about Sly Stallone. When I was approached to be a guest, I explained that there are Stallone fans with greater knowledge and bigger collections than mine. Still, they were interested in how I became a Stallone fan, the creation of StalloneZone and more. I was already a fan of Bernie’s Midnight Mystery, so I checked out F2F and became a fan of it as well.
Talking to Bernie, Pete and Doug was a blast. It was truly fans hanging out. Here’s part one of the conversation. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.

POW: “Get Carter”
Sly Stallone’s Most Underrated Acting Scenes
Tom at TV Over Mind came up with a list of Five Underrated Acting Scenes from Sylvester Stallone. While the list or the presentation isn’t the best. (The used the photo above for heading <I added the text for my post> and it isn’t their number one choice. Also some of the example that they picked were not the best choices for Sly most underrated acting scenes. With that said, using just his top five, I’ll rank those same picks and then give you what I think are some much better choices.
Tom at TVOM |
Craig |
5. Talking to Adonis in Creed II during the fight |
5. The final fight in Rocky V: Since this is more of a physical scene than an “acting” scene I rated it lower. |
4. The final fight in Rocky V |
4. The atrium scene in Oscar: Oscar is underrated. Sly’s performance is good but there are many scenes in other movies that should have made the grade. |
3. The atrium scene in Oscar |
3. Talking to Adonis in Creed II during the fight: Sly has better scenes in Creed II than this one. |
2. PTSD scene in Rambo: First Blood |
2. The Rocky Balboa speech: This is a good choice and it became so popular I can see why Tom listed it in his first spot. |
1. The Rocky Balboa speech |
1. PTSD scene in Rambo: First Blood: Sly gives a classic performance and shows that Rambo isn’t all blood and guts. |
Other scenes that should have made the cut:
Rocky: So many to choose, but since I am going to limit it to one from each additional film, I’ll go with the scene where Rocky tells Adrian if he is just standing when the final bell sounds…
FIST: Again many to choose from, but this time I’ll go with the scene where Sly is talking to the men about the trucker that was hurt and although the company won’t take care of him., their union will.
Rocky III: The scene on the beach with Talia Shire where she asks Rocky what he’s afraid of and he answers…
Cop Land: So many great scenes… For me it is a toss up between Sly’s scene with Annabella Sciorra or his scene with DeNiro.
Get Carter: Sly’s rooftop scene with Rachel Leigh Cook is one of his best.
Rocky Balboa: Any scene where he is talking about Adrian.
Creed: The scene in the locker room when Rocky explains to Creed why he isn’t going to get treatment for his cancer. One of Sly’s all-time best scenes.
Jack Carter and John Wick by Tom Richmond!
Tom Richmond of MAD magazine fame opened up his commission list and I jumped on with a request for Jack Carter (Sly Stallone) and John Wick (Keanu Reeves). As you can see Mr. Richmond came through with a winner, which is no surprise.
This is my second commission from Tom Richmond, the first was a Rocky (Stallone) and Clubber Lang (Mr. T.). I’ll post it once I get it scanned. It is larger than my current scanner and a photo doesn’t do it justice.
If you’re a sketch collector, I highly recommend Tom Richmond. He does great art, has wonderful communication and packages the art securely.
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.
Zablo |
|
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?
