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.

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?
