The “Rocky” Series Most Inspiring!
On May 2, 2010, PasteMagazine.com posted their list of the Five Inspiring Movie Montages. Of course the Rocky series had to be represented… and what better way than to include ALL of the Rocky movies. Here’s what they had to say:
5. All the Rocky movies
Each Rocky movie could honestly have occupied a slot on this list—if you’re watching one, you’re eventually going to see Sylvester Stallone pulling a cart through the snow, or doing one-armed pullups on a Philly playground, or doing wind sprints down a beach with Carl Weathers. Eye of the tiger, baby.
To see the full list as well as the montages for the movies, click here.

Mickey Rourke Credits Sly…
When Mickey Rourke was questioned about the outfit he wore to the Iron Man II premiere, he credited Sly with turning him on to the clothes designer. According to this article, Rourke stated:
“[It’s] some kind of crocodile or something,” says Rourke. “It’s not real, though … I didn’t make it. A guy named David August made it. Sylvester Stallone turned me on to the guy. He’s really a rock and roll dude.”

RAMBO IV 1:4 SCALE STATUE
“Heroes never die……..they just reload”
Standing an impressive 20” tall including base (to top of head – not including bow), this Quarter Scale statue captures Rambo’s raw intensity, as the “boatman” reveals his true colors to the mercenaries he is accompanying.
Featuring an accurate likeness of Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo from the latest Rambo movie, this amazingly detailed statue portrays Rambo with his now iconic bow in hand, poised to dispense instant justice with another arrow!
This incredible piece of art is constructed from heavyweight polystone and then hand painted to the finest detail.Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide
There is no HCG Exclusive version of this piece. However if you like low serial #’s, we are reserving # 1 to # 100 for retail customers only. So the first 100 retail orders will receive the desirable low edition numbers!
Sculpted by Edinho Maga.
Painted by Dan “Danno” Cope.
Patrick Parnell’s Rambo
Today’s sketch of Rambo was created by Patrick Thomas Parnell. I first met Patrick at MegaCon earlier this year. I don’t think I’d ever even seen his art before. Patrick was doing these really cool, tall/thin color sketches for a reasonable price. I asked him if he’d be interested in doing a Stallone piece for my collection and he chose Rambo.
If you’d like to see more of Patrick’s art, then go here.
