SLY FIGHTS…

Tony Eufinger of ABCNEWS.com posted an article titled Sylvester Stallone Fights for a Parking Garage. Here’s a quote from Eufinger’s piece that sums it up…

Although a far cry from an action-packed Rambo plot, The Mirror reports the Hollywood tough guy is keen to stop the Gateshead Borough Council from tearing down the garage because it’s the setting for one of Britain’s cult classic gangster films.

The scene from the original Get Carter, released in 1971, features British actor Michael Caine tossing a local bad guy off the five-story building to his death. According to the tabloid, fans still flock to the site for photographs.

Sly, of course, starred in the Get Carter remake. – Craig Zablo (August 11, 2001)
