Sylvester Stallone: 5 Awesome Performances and 5 That Sucked.
On February 1, 2013, WhatCulture! posted Sylvester Stallone: 5 Awesome Performances and 5 That Sucked.
- According to WhatCulture! 5 that were Awesome: Rambo [First Blood and sequels], John Spartan [Demolition Man], Gabe Walker [Cliffhanger], Freddy Heflin [Cop Land], and Rocky Balboa [Rocky and sequels].
- Their Choices for Not-So-Awesome: Judge Dredd [same name], Ray Quick [The Specialist], Marion Cobretti [Cobra], Jack Carter [Get Carter], and Joe Bomoski [Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!].
To Awesome I would delete Spartan and Walker to make room for Jack Carter and Deke Dasilva [Nighthawks]. To Not-So-Awesome I would delete Carter and add Nick from Rhinestone. – Craig
5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films
On January 30, 2013, AZCentral.com posted 5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films. Their choices [with embeded trailers]:
- Rocky
- First Blood
- Cop Land
- Rocky Balboa
- The Expendables
While it would be hard to argue with their list, I think I would pair Rocky/Rocky Balboa and First Blood / Rambo. This would open up two slots and I’d add: Get Carter and Nighthawks. – Craig

Nighthawks Re-Imagined
Chris DiBari: Sly from “Nighthawks”
Chris DiBari provides this week’s Stallone piece. It’s Chris’ take on Sly as Deke DaSilva in Nighthawks. (Excellent choice and an excellent job!) I met Chris, who is also a big Stallone fan, at Heroes Con this year. This was my first piece by Chris, but hopefully won’t be my last.
Jeff Parker: Nighthawks
I picked up this piece by Jeff Parker at MegaCon 2009. Jeff and Casey Jones were sketching for the Hero Initiative. Jeff decided to go with Sly as Deke DaSilva from Nighthawks… after all…
“It was a Nighthawks kind of day.”
This is my second Stallone by Jeff Parker. You can see the first here. You can also see more of Jeff’s talents at his site.
