The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
Over on Facebook, Marcus Elf posted several Ghana posters. Included were these four Stallone movie posters. Click on each to see it biggie-sized, then click over to see Marcus’ post.
Ghana posters are always crazy fun. Where else could you get Rocky slugging it out with Simon Phoenix? Or Tango & Cash starring Marion Cobretti and Jack Burton? How about Cobra as a slasher movie?

The Fan To Fan (F2F) podcast with hosts Bernie Gonzalez, Peter Charbonneau and Doug Ziegler takes a simple idea and does it well. Each episode of F2F features a conversation between fans. The subject could be movies, comics, TV, video games, toys, cartoons, or anything pop culture! Bernie, Peter and Doug pick a fan with a love and/or knowledge of the episode’s topic and then do a deep dive.
Recently, the F2F team spoke with me about Sly Stallone. When I was approached to be a guest, I explained that there are Stallone fans with greater knowledge and bigger collections than mine. Still, they were interested in how I became a Stallone fan, the creation of StalloneZone and more. I was already a fan of Bernie’s Midnight Mystery, so I checked out F2F and became a fan of it as well.
Talking to Bernie, Pete and Doug was a blast. It was truly fans hanging out. Here’s part one of the conversation. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.

Our POW [Picture of the Week] is a cool photo of Sly and Kurt Russell from Tango & Cash. Click on the photo to see a bigger version.
Here’s an interesting alternate movie poster created by Simon Delart for the movie Tango & Cash. I like the symbolism that Tango and Cash were both sides of the same card — effective cops with different styles. You can see a bigger version of the poster here and more of Delart’s art at his site.
Yesterday at my blog we ranked every Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, today we’ll rank Sly Stallone’s prison movies. The idea came from Ryan Simon’s Every Sylvester Stallone Prison Movie Ranked From Worst To Best at ScreenRant. I imagine there are a couple of surprises in my rankings…

8. Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018) |
8. Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018): I agree with Sly’s assessment. |
7. Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019) |
7. Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019): Sly & Bautista had chemistry and don’t that Stallone fight scene. |
6. Lock Up (1989) |
6. Demolition Man (1993): I like Demolition Man, but wish it had the same tone throughout as the opening helicopter scene. |
5. Judge Dredd (1995) |
5. Escape Plan (2013): I almost put this in the 4th spot. Sly & Arnold! |
4. Escape Plan (2013) |
4. Judge Dredd (1995): I wish they’d left out Rob Schnieder and played it straight. Armand Assante from Paradise Alley! |
3. Victory (1981) |
3. Tango & Cash (1989): Sly & Kurt Rusell in a fun action film! |
2. Tango & Cash (1989) |
2. Victory (1981): Not flashy, but directed by John Huston and co-starring Michael Caine! Also under-rated. |
1. Demolition Man (1993) |
1. Lock Up (1989): is under-rated in my book! |
Sly and the Family Stallone News for the Week:
Kacie Lillejord, at ScreenRant created her list of the 10 Best Underrated Sylvester Stallone Characters. I love lists, so I decided to play along. Using just Lillejord’s choices, I ranked the same characters. (Please note that the higher on the list, the more underrated.) Afterwards I mention three Stallone characters that didn’t make her list, but would have made mine.
