Stallone Beats Schwarzenegger

Craig / / 2005, Celebs

Stuff.co.nz is running a weekly “Celebrity Fight Club.” The way it works is Stuff pairs up two celebs each week and asks readers who they think would win a fight. Readers are asked to consider factors such as age, height, ability, stamina, and general all-round toughness. Once a winner becomes clear in each poll, their names are updated and published in Stuff’s Entertainment section.

Here are the results of Stallone vs Schwarzenegger: With 513 votes, Sly Stallone easily terminated Arnie in this match-up. Perhaps becoming the Governor of California has softened Arnie up – he got only 299 votes.

Stallone Would Make a Great Dark Knight

Craig / / 2005, Celebs

Whenever my buddies and I are talking movies and “dream casting” —  and I mention Sly for a role, someone ALWAYS makes the comment that I’d recommend Stallone for ANY role.

Well, that’s just not true…

… even though there are many roles that I think he could do [or have done well].

Seems I’m not alone.

When Robert Rodriguez was asked
in a recent interview who he thought would make a good Batman if “The Dark Knight Returns” was
ever made into a movie he responded with…

“I love “Dark Knight Returns”…I think Stallone and Bruce Willis would make great Dark Knights if they
ever did make Frank’s version of the movie. It would take an iconic actor like that to play such an iconic character.”

Hey, if Robert Rodriguez says that Sly would make a great Batman, well, who am I to argue?

Sly’s Bike

Craig / / 2005, Celebs, Rocky

I received the pic above and the following e-mail from Klein: Sly’s motorcycle and
Rocky stuff can be found at the Celebrity Hotel in downtown Deadwood, South Dakota.
The bike has been there for some 14 years now.

You can also see:

Clint Eastwood‘s Trans Am from Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, his gun from Dirty Harry,
his rifle from The Outlaw Josey Wales, his rifle both him and Morgan Freeman used in
Unforgiven and even his outfit he wore in Joe Kidd, they also have the batmobile from
Batman Returns, Peter Fonda‘s Harley from Easy Rider, John Wayne stuff, the car
from Smokey and the Bandit, Arnold‘s leather coat from T-2 and much more…

We look forward to more pics of the Rocky props! – Craig
