Stallone stats. I originally wrote this page on HubPages….it was very popular with over 100,000 views….I then moved it to CogersonMovieScore and it struggled with only 8,000 views.  I wonder which way it will go on UltimateMovieRankings. Only time will tell.

  1. He is always put down as being not too bright, the tall poppy syndrome. He wrote and starred in Rocky I, one of the best movies ever made. I loved all of the rocky and Rambo movies. I think fame has clouded his judgement but what a great contribution he’s made to the movie world. Cheers.

    1. Hey attempted humor….Rocky is easily his best….I guess he could look at this career…as all downhill since Rocky….lol. Thanks for checking in.

  2. “Adriaaaan!” Antz is still my favourite Stallone film.

    Kidding. I’ve never really thought about it, looking at your list… probably First Blood. Rocky III was a fave when I was a kid. Tango & Cash was a fun action flick, so was Cliffhanger and Demolition Man. I enjoyed Expendables recently.

    Stallone was good as the half deaf cop in Cop Land and more than held his own among co-stars Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel.

    Interesting to see Rocky is his no.1 grosser in adjusted dollars, beating Rambo II, one of the biggest hits of the 80’s.

    Great page Cogerson, cheers.

  5. Stallone was a good action star. He, Arnold S. and Harrison Ford were the heirs to guys like John Wayne and Errol Flynn. I enjoyed several of his movies. He should stay away from comedies, though, because some of his comedies were pretty bad.

    He is actually a very good writer and his script for the original “Rocky” film was very good.

    1. Hey Rob….you make some very good points….I think you left off Bruce W. from that list of heirs. I agree that his script for Rocky was pretty awesome.
