Sly Stallone Retrospective by Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com!

Chris Bumbray, over at JoBlo.com has a new series where he takes a look at the careers of famous movie stars.  As you’ve probably already figured out, this week he turns the spotlight on Sly Stallone.

Bumbray does an excellent job with his retrospective and analysis.  No nits to pick except I’d rate Stop of My Mom Will Shoot! as Sly’s worst  (not Rhinestone) and of course, everyone knows how much I enjoy Sly’s Get Carter.

Rocky Balboa on a Mexican Bingo Card by Brad Woodward!


If you’ve ever wondered what Rocky Balboa would look like drawn on a Mexican Bingo Card, well, wonder no more.  Brad Woodward has created just that.  Not only did Woodward create the card, he shows us how he did it in the video below.

You can find more of Brad Woodward’s art and process videos on his Brave the Woods YouTube channel and his Brave Outpost.

Thanks to John Beatty for the heads-up!

Paul Wintner’s Latest Rocky Prop Additions!

StalloneZoner, Paul Wintner is back sharing his latest Stallone props with us.  Take it away, Paul!

These are my Creed and Creed Two hero outfits that I have on display in my office for inspiration.  The towels are the ones Drago throws into the ring.  That’s Creed’s stool and both outfits were screen-worn! Even Rocky’s pamphlets on cancer, the magazine Rocky reads at Adrian’s grave and the framed photo from when Rocky and Adonis first met are screen-used!

As you can imagine, they provide great inspiration and I’m proud to add them to the collection and share with StalloneZoners!

  Thanks to Paul for sharing.  For anyone not aware, Paul is a super Stallone fan, and movie prop collector.  Paul’s story is inspirational and we thank him for once again sharing with us!
