Stallone looks in great shape for a man who'll be 60 next year. Clearly he still pumps the weights rigorously. I'm really looking forward to Rocky 6, I just prey to god it will be decent, cuase chances are it'll suck big fat monkey dick.
Mr T is also making an appearence which now makes it the coolest film coming out in 2007.
The film will most likely stink but there is a good chance it could surprise people and re-laucnh Stallone. I hope they focus on character and allow Stallone to act. That is what he needs to do to re-launch himself, cause he can;t keep doing action pictures. People forget this guy is a great actor on his day, an Oscar nominated actor, having spent so many years playing cardboard cutout action men. Rambo 4 comes after Rocky 6 and these two should get him some bankability again so he can pursue better projects. Remember that Clint didn;t really launch himself as a respected actor until he was fairly old it;s only since Unforgiven that Clint's been considered a top actor, so Stallone could do it. I;d love it cuase Sly used to be the man for me, he was an action guy but he had some acting talent too.
I must also say that Stallone looks in more realistic boxing shape, he doesn;t look like a cyborg anymore. No one was more defined and ripped than Stallone when he did Rocky 3 and 4, he was down to 2 and a half percent body fat, it was unrealistic becasue boxers don;t work out to that degree. Also the same is said of his opponent and it's good they got a real boxer. In the 80's there was a fascination with muscles and bodybuilding and Stallone tried to get that with his Rocky opponents, none more so than Lundgren who also looked like a cyborg and more like a body builder than a boxer.
I must also say that Rocky 6 is garnereing much interest and although much is negative it still means the film will do well at the B.O. These old icon's seem to do well floggin dead horses which is another reason Seagal should bring us another Under Siege. They could do it for 20 mill and double their money easily, plus I'd love to see a Seagal flick on the big screen, something I haven't done. Obviously I was too young when he was in his prime and a cineam draw, and I missed his comeback Exit Wounds because it wasn;t showing in my local cinema, which is a bugga because I wanted to see that, it had a cool trailer.
