A Look Into Sylvester Stallone Movies

By Brooner Zielk


One of the most recognizable names in the action movie industry is undoubtedly Sylvester Stallone. Even at 64 years old, this guy definitely has the portfolio to prove that he is King in the action film world. You probably live under a rock if you have never heard of Sylvester Stallone or have watched any of his movies. Years after they were released, Sylvester Stallone movies remain as cult classics. This leads people to wonder about what is in a Sylvester Stallone movie that makes it super special? Look through some of the explanations why Sylvester Stallone movies are unbelievably successful.

What was unusually special about Sylvester Stallone's movies?

The movie Expendables have definitely made everybody remember the good ole days when action films were the most popular thing. This movie is a concoction of some of the most famous and successful movie stars. It is not shocking to note that Sylvester Stallone was one of the lead casts. Here are some ideas to explain our undying fascination for Sylvester Stallone movies.

A Well rounded character

A major pulling factor for viewers are the well rounded and relatable characters in Stallone's movies. It is touching to see Stallone in movies acting brute and tough yet go through the same problems of ordinary people. The empathetic feel of the character in spite of the machismo of Stallone's protagonist character makes it more endearing to viewers.

The appeal of the Stallone smirk

The remarkable Stallone snarl and his atypical facial expression made him stand out among the lot. This unusual facial feature was actually helpful in his line of work. A trivia about this is that the "look" actually came about as a result of a forcep delivery of Stallone. Nobody knew that the slightly damaged face was going to make Stallone rise to Hollywood stardom.

A nice movie production back story

Even the production stories behind Stallone movies are amusing. Even the back story or the anecdote on the movie's conception is also exciting in Stallone's films. Take for example Rocky which Stallone was allegedly selling the script for a low price and make the director cast him in the lead. Stallone's accounts of how he tried against oddities to make Rocky into production was a nice companion to the movie itself.

Sylvester Stallone is also probably one of those actors who started the tradition of movie sequels in the film industry. The Rambo movies were remaked four times while Rocky reached 6. This was an observable trend from movie producers where a successful movie gets many remakes. It was indeed an undeniable proof of his success as an actor. If there is one actor who deserves his slot in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Stallone is perhaps one of the top bets.
