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)

Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes sent in the pic and quotes from:
TOTAL FILM [August 2001/issue 55]
— “Ask him which movies he rates from the past, and he’ll list First Blood, Nighthawks, F.I.S.T.and Cop Land. Ask about the choices he’s likely to make in the future, and he’ll stress that he’s looking for more ensemble pieces, more character work. ”
— “There’s a kind of thrill at seeing something that came off the page being enacted before your very eyes as opposed to just being an actor for hire.”
— “Next up he’s acting opposite MADELINE STOWE as a mafia bodyguard wanting payback for his boss’ murder in Avenging Angelo, before carrying on down the revenge trail as a widower out for justice in Dolan’s Cadillac. “
— “In fact neither the remake of Get Carter nor cop thriller Eye See You (aka Detox) look likely to get theatrical release over here (UK ).”
— “His career did perk up momentarily , however, when racing movie Driven thrust him onto the winners podium as it took the number one spot at the US box office in April.”
Thanks to Jazz for sharing!
