In the February \/ March 2002 issue of Movieline<\/i>, an article entitled, “You Can Leave Your Shirt On,”<\/i> by Joe Queenan<\/b> appears. The article discusses (with a humorous slant) several “older male” actors who regularly take off their shirts in movies. Pierce Brosnan, Harrison Ford, Robert Redford, Tommy Lee Jones, Arnold Swarzenegger <\/b>and others are mentioned. The general consensus of the article is that the shirts should stay on… but here’s what Mr. Queenan<\/b> says about Sly<\/b>:<\/p>\n
“No story about middle-aged vanity would be complete without mentioning Sylvester Stallone. Tellingly, the customarily vain Stallone does not take off his shirt in last year’s, “Driven<\/i>,” generously forgoing a golden opportunity to upstage his costar Kip Pardue. However, Stallone does briefly appear in a sweaty athletic shirt in “Get Carter<\/i>,” a woeful remake of Mike Hodge’s 1970 film noir classic. Having scrutinized 35 movies in which Sly’s contemporaries part with their shirts, I found it great to see a movie in which a guy showing off his shoulders finally had some shoulders worth showing off. Rippling, taut, enormous, those granite-like Rambo<\/i>-era pecs and biceps still say it all. Built like the proverbial brick shithouse, Stallone doesn’t need to primp and preen in front of a mirror to get his message across. All he has to do is stand there and let the camera do its work. As a famous man once said, when you get into the end zone, act like you’ve been there before.”<\/p>\n
