Balboa Band

Craig / / 2008, Sly Fan
Remember the cover band, Balboa that we covered here? They were the group that loved Rocky so much that they decided to name their band, Balboa and play songs from Stallone movies [mostly the Rocky series]. Well, they are still going strong and were profiled by ChartAttack on Thursday. You can read the full piece here. – Craig

Cobra Statue

Craig / / 2008, Fan Art, Sly Fan
SZoner, PJK sent in photos of the custom made Cobra statue that he created. It never ceases to surprise me, the amount of talented Stallone fans that we have at the StalloneZone!

PJK even created a custom made Cobra base for the statue.

His attention to detail is evident in this close up. PJK is a regular on the StalloneZone message boards. Be sure to let him know how cool this piece is… who knows, maybe we’ll see more in the future! – Craig

SZoners Chance Meeting!

Craig / / 2008, Sly Fan
SZoner, Robert C. sent in the following: Hey Craig, I’m a long time Stallone Zone fan from Orlando, Fl. Last year I sent in the picture of Frank Stallone and I holding the signed Jakks Frank Stallone figure. I’ve been out in Hollywood, California for a couple days and who do I bump into while I’m out here. . .none other than the legendary Bill Pruitt! Bill was great! I bought a couple of portraits that have been featured in magazines, purchased by Sly himself and featured on Stallone Zone. Bill’s art is amazing, he truly has a gift.
How cool is this chance meeting between East Coast and West Coast SZoner’s!?!

+++++

Very cool, I’d say. Thanks for letting us know. – Craig

Hervé Attia’s First Blood

Craig / / 2008, First Blood, Sly Fan

Dear Mr Zablo,

My name is Herve Attia. I’ve always been a big fan of First Blood movie since it came out in 1982. So, last month, I went to Hope, Canada, visiting the First Blood filming locations which includes Othello/Coquihalla Provincial park, Lake Pitt river (Coquitlam)…

I made a movie which is composed of two parts posted on YouTube.
Part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc7pMuaku1o
Part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc7pMuaku1o

If you like the movie…and think it deserves an entry/post in your web site, don’t ask me the permission 🙂 it would be an honor! I’ve always been a big fan of stallonezone.com.

PS: I had the great privilege having Mr Andrew Laszlo (director of photography) watching the movie. He really enjoyed it. This was definitely my best reward. 🙂 Sincerely, -Hervé Attia

Herve has created a beautiful, creative video love letter to “First Blood.” Thanks to Herve for sharing his talents with us. I hope that we get to see more! – Craig


Rocky II Tribute

Craig / / 2008, Rocky 2, Sly Fan
Jeremy Richey runs a bunch of 70’s-related sites [one of my favorite decades!] and this week he offers a “Rocky II” tribute with cool photos, wallpapers, and more. It’s definitely worth a look HERE! – Craig

SZoners @ First Blood Showing

Craig / / 2008, Sly Fan
Hey Craig! Had a great time last night with some friends at the First Blood viewing. We took this pic of us, maybe you could post on Sunday’s update. We thought it might be fun to pay some respect to John J. I don’t think any of us were going for total authenticity, however we did have a lot of fun. People were yelling out lines like it was The Rocky Horror Picture show. By now most of know the film quality was not as sharp as we would have liked. However it was truly great to see First Blood on the screen again. Now lets see if we can’t get Rocky back for one night!
All the best to you and my fellow SZoners
