Sly & DeNiro in a Grudge Match?

Earlier today Slashfilm reported on a rumor that Sly Stallone and Robert DeNiro may team up for “Grudge Match.” Sly and DeNiro would play…

… “retired boxers Billy “The Kid” McGuigan and Henry “Razor” Sharp, lifelong bitter rivals who are coaxed out of retirement and into the ring for one final grudge match — 50 years after their last title fight.”

Although fans would love to see Rocky take on The Raging Bull, I’m not sure now is the time for this type of movie.  Sly has Expendables II on deck and then hopefully something like Hunter or even Expendables III.  And let’s face it, according to the synopsis of Grudge Match, Sly and DeNiro were supposed to have fought 50 years ago in a title fight — so they’d have been what 14, 15 years old? Perhaps when Sly and DeNiro have aged a bit, Grudge Match would be right.

Sly and His Toys

SZoner, Hideo is back with some cool new photos of Sly in Japan. Take it away, Hideo:

  • Hi, Craig! It’s HIDEO!
  • I found an interesting interview of SLY.

Please enjoy!

    • P.S. I translated those articles for English speaking persons. But, my English is very poor. Sorry. You can correct my wrong English, please. Take care!

    -About Barney Ross

    “The figure released before was well-done, and this Barney Ross is well-done, too!
    It becomes better and better, unbelievable! By the way, how about the tattoo? “

    (Costume unclothed and Sly saw tattoo.)

    “Wow! It is the very movie image. “

    -Watching Rocky3 figure

    “This is a figure of Rocky 3, I have this one! “

    (Comparing a figure of Rocky balboa with Barney Ross)
    “Uuum, I get old, the figure gets old. “

    (Toward the staff)
    “Hey! Watch, guys! The position of Barney’s hairline is higher than Rocky!
    Oh, my god! Thank you, HOT TOYS! For such a real reproduction!”

    -About HOT TOYS

    “Thank you for making wonderful figures of Rocky, Rambo, and this “The
    Expendables”. I think HOT TOYS is a world’s best toymaker.”

    -About The Expendables

    “I wrote the script, supervised it, and played the leading part. And
    this time, I was able to act with my wonderful friends.
    I am sure it is the best movie of my works, and I want to say to Japanese fans, “please
    enjoy”. And I thank for HOT TOYS having done splendid support that released
    this figure.”

    -The time limit for interview was planned until here, but Sly was satisfied with the figure of Barney, and continued talking more.

    ” I have one idea. I want to propose HOT TOYS, if you can make products with all these quality, to make costumes and replicas of the prop on 1/1 scales! One more. If a figure of Barney is completed, I will sign ten figures and will exhibit at charity auction for underprivileged children. I have exhibited a boxing glove of “Rocky” to charity before.”

    -Dolph Lundgren appears.

    (Sly invites Dolph, and showing the figure of Rocky.)
    Sly: “Have you ever seen this?”

    Dolph: “Yeah, my Drago is like that, too”.

    Sly: “The muscles grow well! “

    Dolph: “That’s true! “

    (Toward the coverage staff )
    Sly: “Why don’t you make his latest figure?”

    Dolph: “Make my thing again! Ha-ha! “

    Thanks to Hideo, once again for the great find! – Craig

    Sly & Jen See Red

    Sylvester Stallone, left, and Jennifer Stallone arrive at the Sobieski Vodka-sponsored premiere of ‘RED’ at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, Oct. 11, 2010. The vodka company plays a role both because Bruce Willis is a global spokesperson for Sobieski Vodka and because the brand makes an appearance in “RED.”
