The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
SZoner, Paul Wintner checked in to show us his latest Stallone props. That’s Paul in the pic above decked out in his Rambo III stick fighting outfit. Below is a shot of two of the gun props used in The Expendables.
Paul’s company worked on Slys last three films: Rocky Balboa, Rambo and The Expendables. His voice talent did all the voice overs for the trailers and tv spots. Here’s a link to Paul’s Stallone prop site. Thanks to Paul for keeping us in the loop. – Craig

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from Lisa at IGN…

Congrats to Sly, the cast and crew of The Expendables. To see the full list of awards and winners, you know the drill.
SZoner, Sherry Hutchinson is back with a piece she calls Surreal Stallone. Take it away, Sherry…
Craig,
Well, here is the latest. It is a bit different. Kind of a morph of Rocky, Rambo and Expendables. His chest is the 1955 Ford from Expendables. Also see Oscar, Philly steps, Rambo knife, raven, live simply whale, weights and Butkus.Could you ask for comments to be sent to sherry_hutchison@yahoo.com? I love to hear what people think.Thanks,
Sherry
Sly was recently in London to promote The Expendables. While there Sly, Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham visited soldiers. One lucky soldier who was up for a medal had it presented to him by Sly.
NYMag.com ran a feature called The Best of September’s Entertainment Photography and the shot of Sly by Robert Maxwell for GQ made the cut. As well it should. You can see all of the photos here.
On September 30, 2010, MailOnline posted a nice piece on Sly. Along with three photos of Sly shopping [one is posted above], there were also shots of him sparring with Dolph in Japan [below] and a pic of Sly with his girls [Jennifer and their three daughters]. You can see the full piece here.
On October 1, 2010, The San Francisco Chronicle in collaboration with Rotten Tomatoes and its parent company, Flixster posted 10 Sports Films That Are Winners. Rocky came in 4th with a 93% favorable rating. You can see the entire list here.
Earlier this week The Washington Post ran a larger version of the photo above of Sly and Dolph “sparring” for the fans in Japan.
On September 30, 2010, Antonio Tarver, who is in training for his upcoming heavyweight fight in his run at the heavyweight title, was interviewed. As you could expect, there was a question about working with Sly and the filming of Rocky Balboa. Here’s how it went down…
That was such a great experience, I have to pinch myself even today, I just can’t believe I had that opportunity. When I look back as a young man growing up wanting to be a boxer, the Rocky movies where huge and had a big effect on me. Just to be considered for the part sent chills through my body. Still does today when I think about it. Sly was great to work with, he made me feel very comfortable. I take a lot of pride in making that movie. Sly trusted me to help direct the fight scenes. I had a lot of offers for other parts that I turn down because I still had boxing in my blood. Acting is something that I would like get more involved with after I retire from boxing.
Antonio Tarver is a class act. I had the good fortune to meet him years before winning the light-heavyweight championship, knocking out Roy Jones Jr. and the filming of Rocky Balboa. I also met him again when he was the champ as well as right after filming Rocky Balboa. Antonio Tarver was still the same humble, appreciative man. I wish him the best in his quest to win the heavyweight championship. Go Tarver!
