The Italian Stallion

This week in our continuing series of episodes focusing on one person or franchise, we’re turning our big PCFM spotlight onto Sylvester Stallone. If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the granddaddy of all action heroes, then Stallone is certainly the well-to-do uncle. Uncle Sly has been in his fair share of movies and at 77, he’s still making them. Certainly one of the great action icons of our time. Izzy and Cam breakdown everything Stallone and what makes the Italian Stallion such an icon.

To end this episode, we've brought back our most popular game (probably) "Who's One Liner Is It Anyway?" Can Izzy overcome his paralyzing fear of being wrong about movie quotes and emerge victorious?

Happy New Year PCFM Fam!

about one of the kings of theaction genre of pop culture, the Italian
Stallion, literally Rambo himself. He'sInvester Stallone. Yeah, yeah, man,

(00:54):
So that's just alone. This isgoing to be our in focus series
where we take one actor or onefriend and we just do like a deep
dive into it. So today's SylvesterStallone. Uh man. This guy's been
making movies since literally before you orI were born. And uh and he's
he's one thing about Sylvester Stallone likelook delictics in bio biographical stuff. First,

(01:15):
dude's been making movies for decades.He's from Hell's Kitchen, New York.
He's like a true New Yorker.He's got that great accent. I
guess I'm just you call that anaccent. I call that a speech impediment.
Well, I mean, like ArnoldSchwarzenegger, if you have that voice
and you can use it for theadvancement of your career, then more power

(01:38):
to you because you can hear that. Like if you heard that, oh
sly, you're here in the sameroom with me. That's so weird how
that happened. But he's also youknow, Sylvestia Stallone is kind of a
powerhouse because they're they're actors, right, and there are those who act and
then they write. He does,right, he does his own riding.

(02:00):
He's very involved in that. He'snow he's producing and I don't know how
much stuff he's directed, but youknow he does it all basically. Yeah.
Uh, and he's he's in hisseventies. I think he's like seventy
seven years old. Yeah, he'sseventy seven. And he looks the way
he does like it's I don't know, I don't know what this whatever this

(02:21):
guy is taking, whether he's horssteroids, yeah, horse steroids of course,
because that's how we got the nicknameItalian Stallion. Like, yeah,
where I get that from, right, you know where I get that from
because he literally stopped he was literallyheld up in immigration in like Malaysia or
something because he had illegal he hadlike black market horse steroids or or like

(02:42):
he has he had steroids, andit was something like that a human is
not supposed to take. Oh sure, just like any other things. Yeah,
I mean you have to take amassive amount of steroids to look the
way he does. But I meanI am impressed. Seventy seven years old.
You know, they say black don'tcrack, but like what about Italians?
You know, yeah, spaghetti doesnot spaghetti. I don't know what
Italians don't. Italians don't. Yeah, it doesn't. I don't know all

(03:08):
that to say, Uh, Slyis still slaves, still doing it,
he's still kicking, and uh,we're gonna go through some of We're gonna
kind of go through his career alittle bit and talk about some of our
favorite experiences with stuff that he's done. Because because or Sly, so Uster

(03:29):
Stalone, people like Ronold Scharzenegger,they're almost like a part of your They're
part of your life because you,yeah, you feel like you can go
for me personally, just because Igrew up watching way too much TV and
way too many movies. Yeah,you can. I can remember parts of
my life where these movies came along, and so I like they're attached to

(03:50):
chapters in my life or specific memories. You know, sure, because it's
like it's it's it's an interesting thing, you know. But uh, yeah,
you want to care, you wantto jump in, you want to
start talking about that. He's yeah, so we have you know, we
have a lengthy list of films thatSylester Salon has been involved in, and
this is in looks like in theorder of earliest to latest. Yeah,

(04:15):
I think it's. Yeah, Chriskind of gave us a he helped us
out and he kind of listed kindof his major movies. I mean,
he'd been doing stuff. I thinkthere's one there's a movie called Victory that
was like about a bunch of islike World War two PW was playing a
soccer game or something like that.He was in it with Michael Caine.
There's like stuff that he was inthat's like way early stuff. But I
think a lot of people think ofhis career beginning with Rocky, but he

(04:40):
was around before then, and evenRocky there's you know, there's lore about
him trying to get it trying toget he wrote it and he tried to
get get it sold, but withhim as the lead, and no studio
would want to do that because backthen it was like, no, we
got to attach a big name tothis thing. And he like he went
through a lot of hard time andthen he finally was able to get it

(05:01):
secure but with him as the lead, and I kind of that, I
think that kind of cemented his hisattitude is like, I'm going to be
very involved in the artistic development ofthese things, and you know, I'm
gonna fight for this kind of stuff. So so yeah, yeah, I
mean, you know what, Rockycame out in nineteen seventy six. It
looks like but Sylvester Saloon started hiscareer like he was on the big screen,

(05:27):
or at least not so big screen, depending on what side of the
fence you're looking at it from.You know, he started in an adult
film in the nineteen seventy he's reallyOh he didn't know this, no,
oh my god. Yeah, that'swhere the Italian Stallion came from. That's
where the Italian Stallion came was thatthe party party at k party at Key

(05:47):
and Studs. Yeah, so hehe debuted, which they later renamed that
The Party at Kitty and Studs.They later renamed it The Italian Stallion because
he played a part in this poorNow. So that's and that came out
in nineteen seventy. So like,oh my goodness, everything that I've heard
about, like the adult industry inHollywood is like, once you go there,

(06:10):
you can't make the switch, right, you know. So maybe I
wonder if that, like, youknow, that reputation or at least like
when you ask him, like,oh, what else have you worked on
and he's just like, well,I did this porn old bug of the
day. Oh yeah, yeah,and I want to be a serious Filmmachael.
Yeah, you know, I wonderif that was part of the reason
why it was so difficult to securethat. Yeah, but dude, I

(06:32):
can't believe you've never seen the ItalianStallion in action. Oh my gosh,
that's so funny. Yet now thatit just kind of it makes it all
the more sense. The Italian Stallion. Yeah, oh you thought it was.
It's good to the Malaysia thing,but hey, good good for him
though, good for him for turningthat it ted around around because I'm sure
there are millions of people around theworld that are like Italian Stallion because he's

(06:56):
Italian and he's a tough guy.It's not like because he's Italian and he
did a porn yeah, or helike, you know, horse Wiener got
the horse just yeah, he's justreally packing it, you know. Yeah.
No, the Italian Sailing was ItalianStallion was mandatory viewing in the military
for me. So I don't know, you know, maybe a different generation
of yours, but yeah, no, we started off nineteen seventy that and
then obviously got Rocky. Now we'removing on to serious, serious parts of

(07:20):
his career. Yeah, but youknow, Rocky came out in nineteen seventy
six following that. But before itlooks like there was a movie called Death
Race two thousand, right in nineteenseventy five. Yeah, this was like
one of those in the future theyear nineteen ninety nine kind of thing,
dystopian future across country automobile race requirescontestants to run down innocent pedestrians to gain

(07:44):
points and are tally based on eachkills brutality. This sounds like a video
game. It sounds like GTA before. Yah, clearly I was gonna say
it looks like yeah, GTA beforeGTA became GTA. Yeah, look at
this looks silly as so I gottawatch this. This probably could not be
remade today, I'll tell you no, definitely not. I mean, well,
they did remake it, but itwas more like Prisoners. Yeah,

(08:07):
it was like an entertainment for prisoners, and it was like a big loop
and it had a freaking you canearn your freedom and death ras. Yeah
yeah, I got you, youknow, but it was all a scam
and then they ended up breaking outin the end and yeah uh and then
then yeah, they had like sequels. The only reason I'm to mentioning the
sequels to Death Race because it starredLuke Ass and I met him once.

(08:28):
Oh yeah, but anyway, wecan go back to death Yeah. I
mean, a terribly average movie serieslike Death Race, Like if you forgot
about it, I don't think anybodywould be upset, but like if you're
watching, you're like, okay,it's got to a cult classic. Yeah
yeah, definitely no. But youknow, after after Death Race, we

(08:50):
had the birth of the Rocky franchise, which how many Rockies were there?
Rockies? There was five, sixRockies two, Rocky three, Rocky four,
Rocky five, Rocky Balboa, RockyBboa. Yeah, and then I
mean, do you count Creed becausehe was in the first two Creed movies.

(09:11):
Yeah, I mean technically that's aspinoff. That's like saying, is
Tokyo Drift Fast or Furious because likeit takes place in a different world and
yeah, sot like eight eight ornine different Rocky movies. Yeah man,
yeah, yeah, that started franchise. That's was classic. I mean I
did it birth this kind of likeinspirational kind of sports inspiration genre. I

(09:33):
think it may may not have Idon't know when Hoosiers came out, but
that's the first one I had creditwith being like the first, uh sports
inspiration you know, we're coming alloh, it's kind of stuff. You
know, everybody knows I have theTiger, Like everyone no, when I
have the Tigers coming on, it'slike we're going to get ready to go
to war. Oh yeah, that'snot that's not until three though, right

(09:54):
three or four. I think Ihave the Tiger came out with three or
four. Yeah, But like drinkingthis like started the trend of like waking
up in the morning and it's beenredone so much and like spin off,
waking up, you know, crackingan egg, cracking two eggs and a
and a glass and just drinking theyolks and just running, you know,
running upstairs. Yeah, the yeah, that that famous that famous musical score.

(10:18):
Yeah, what is that song called? Do you know? Off the
top of your head? Uh?No, not off the top of my
head. I think it was afamous. Uh there's a famous Uh gonna
fly now, Gonna fly now?Yeah, but there's a famous. I
think he's a composer if I getthe words out of my face. Uh,
that does a lot. That dida lot of scoring back then.
I think that's uh Bill Khn,Henry Man CNY. What's that Bill Kanty?

(10:41):
The themes from movie Rocky. It'scomposed by Bill County with lyrics by
Carol Connor's Ain Robbins Perforred performed byDieto Weston and Nelson Pigford. I don't
even know that. To me,it's just musical. It's like, why
is there so many names involved?This? Like what I love is when
there's like in different writers for asong and there's only three lyrics in the

(11:03):
song. I'm gonna fly now,Like, what should we do? How
about gonna fly now? Yeah?What else? No? No, just
that over and over again. Yeah, I don't know. What about getting
strong now? Yeah? I didn'teven know there was lyrics in that theme.
It's kind of in there. It'slike, you know, in the
background. Oh really, Yeah,I can't even recall. Yeah, all
I hear is I don't even knowwhere they'd even put it in. But

(11:30):
okay, that's after that. It'sthat's when they kind of it's at the
end. It's when he gets tothe top of the steps, like that
iconic shot where he's running up andI think they actually have the statue there
at that place wherever really where actuallytakes place and where Chicago, Philadelphia,
Philly I thought it was. Ithought it was Philly. It's probably Philly.
It's like one of those you know, urban jungle East Coast, uh

(11:52):
kind of cities. Yeah, throughthroughout Philadelphia, Fete scenes being shot in
Los Angeles. Yeah. So yeah, so Rocky man, I let me
let me. I'm trying to think, like I said, a lot of
these movies I associate with Mike mychildhood. I actually think I saw I
think I might have seen like Rockyfour first, and that was the one

(12:16):
with the Russian dude and Draga hedies, Yeah, and I and I'm
like, who's who's the black guythat he kills at the beginning? Why
is that a super important like theguy he loses to in the first Rocky
Like, yeah, yeah, that'sone of those things. And like LORI,
it's every single one of them.I think he wins at the end,

(12:37):
but in the first one he actuallydoesn't win. It was about his
journey and then the respect that hegains and overcoming obstacles to get into that,
to kind of get out of hisold life, you know, the
cause he was like a mob enforceror something like that. He was like
a tough guy. Yeah, Ithink guy. Yeah, but then he
meets uh, he meets his buddywho trains him. Yeah yeah, but

(13:05):
but yeah, I I it's oneof those ones. I think Aliens was
the same thing. Like when Isaw Aliens as a kid, I didn't
know that there was a movie beforethat. I didn't know it was the
sequel to something. So but yeah, same thing with Rocky. It's like
one of those all time great andhe I think he wrote the screenplay in
like three days, three and ahalf days or something. Yeah, he
was inspired by a Mohamad Ali fight. I'm going to Starbucks and I'm not

(13:28):
leaving for three days. Fun fact, everybody at Starbucks on their laptop in
Los Angeles is indeed writing a screenplay. Just got to ask him. You
go up to him and say,what's the movie about? Yeah, exactly.
You don't even have to know whatthey're you know what they're running.
Yeah, yeah, so after Imean Rocky obviously a legendary series still being

(13:50):
made today. Uh. Yeah,Three came out the earlier this year.
I think, I mean it's inspiredby but yeah, inspired by is he
which Creed is Syvester Sloan in?Because I mean he's in the first shows,
in the first one, and thenI think he has a smaller role
in the second one. I thinkthe third one. They're like, listen,
we gotta try to try to faceon his own. Yeah. I
respect that too, you know,Yeah, you gotta watch you gotta watch

(14:13):
those co stars though, man,yeah, man, what is it?
Jordan? Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Yeah, the other Michael you shall
not be named the persona on GardaJonathan Majors. Yeah, Jonathan Majors.
Uh yeah, whatever in your careerthere, buddy. But anyways, yeah,
so we have you know, Rockyseries, but that is not the
only legacy that Sylvester Sloan has PERSONAfive through his characters. Uh, let's

(14:39):
talk about Rambo man, your favoritelocal, your favorite green Berets. Everything,
that's right man, that's right,he is. The legacy is the
green Beret by which all of thegreen berets must be uh, must be
measured. And it was. It'sfunny because that that movie's really good.
I have this chronological Aubrey where Ithink, like anything that was made before

(15:03):
I, you know, like beforeI could comprehend what movies were, it
had to have been like not verygood. But the action in this movie
is really good. And it's evenmore impressive when you think about they didn't
have CG back then. Yeah,really real stuntman just jumping off a cliff
into a body of water and they'relike, you'll just try not to hit
a rock on your way down.Yeah, like this but looks good.
Yeah we got a hot afterwards.Yeah, but that spot's a little bit

(15:26):
more dangerous. Better look way betteron camera. So like do you mind.
Yeah, but First Blood man basedon it and based on a novel
I think, uh, First Bloodby David Morrell. It's about a returning
home. It's it's really kind ofa story. I think the broad theme
in in in the in First Bloodat least was about the reception that a
lot of veterans got when they camehome from Vietnam, you know, and

(15:48):
like find trying to find your placein the world, not getting a good
reception, not being allowed, notbeing welcomed back into society. Is guy
becoming a homeless Yeah, exactly.And he's just all he's doing is passing
through John. That stupid cop justwon't leave him alone. And then they
they unleash the beast. Yeah,man, dude, don't mess with your

(16:11):
homeless veterans. Man. Yeah,you never know whether they were just slaying
Charlie in Vietnam for a living.The only reason they came back is because
the war ended. That's some ofthose guys. That's the thing about Vietnam.
We've we've spoken to a couple ofVietnam veterans and they're like, oh,
yeah, like I just wanted tostay over there, and so I

(16:32):
I heard about this unit that wasdoing stuff over here. So I hopped
a ride over there in a chopper. I said, Hey, can I
hang out with you? Guys werelike, yeah, come on, come
do these operations. It was likethe wild West for yeah. Literally,
someone stayed like was Ekert that wehad John Eckert, Mike Eckert, Yeah,
that we had on the podcast,And he was just like, you
know, back then, if youdid you at the end of your deployment,
you just if you wanted to stay, you could. And I'm just

(16:56):
like what But that story he toldus about, you know how he uh,
his unit was leaving, his ohdawas leaving and he ran into his
buddy and he's like, hey,we need another echo If you want to
stay another you know, twelve months, He's like sure, And then the
plane that his old team went oncrash into a mountain and everybody died.
Dude, that was that story islike a core memory in my mind.

(17:18):
Like that dude should write a bookfolks and listen to. Uh. The
first season of the podcast, wegot Mike Eckert, former Green Beret,
former Vietnam Green beero. Oh yeah, sog yeah operator. He was a
real deal man. The real deal. Holy feel so in in in First
Blood when he's talking about the drivetake, you know, and like,

(17:41):
I feel like a lot of thingsI really could do that guy. I
mean, so many legendary, somany legendary lines in the first Rambo.
But honestly, not my my personalnot my personal favorite Rambo. My favorite
is the second where he gets wherehe goes back to Vietnam. Yeah,
where he goes back to Vietnam andyou you know, and he has to
deal with the you know, thecomedies, dirty comedies over there. Yeah,

(18:06):
he has his explosive arrows that heuses and he there's such iconic scenes
he blows that guy up, youknow, the choppers coming after him,
he takes it down. Yeah.Yeah, that one just has a little
bit more of the action that Ilove, yea, from what I think
Rambo is, you know, insteadof like fighting at home trying not to
be just mutilating cops, which iscool. Yeah, but like now he

(18:27):
goes back and he's like in hiselement and now he becomes like this this
kind of mercenary type guy. Ifeel like I wonder if that wasn't something
co written by James Cameron. Bythe way, but it's one of those
things where it's like almost like kindof wish fulfillment, Like, man,
I wish we could have gone backand done this, you know, because
we kind of we kind of left, you know. Yeah, and it

(18:49):
wasn't the best leaving of that country, as current events have shown, but
like it's like, I wish wecould go back and do this, And
so they make a movie like We'rehe goes back and he does all this
stuff to those comedies, those Viadovcomies. Yeah, but rescuing all the
POW's that are still back there,Yeah, exactly. And that was a
big thing too that there was acouple of movies that were made in that

(19:11):
era, kind of the mid tolate eighties about like, so got guys
over there, Like what if wecould go back and get them? Like
Uncommon Valor is one of those oneswe're talking. Yeah, yeah, they
literally go back because I'm sure thatwas a lot of you know, the
pow mia you know, nonprofit it'slike until they all come home, it's
like, yeah, some of thosedudes will never find out what happened to
him. So yeah, no it'ssad, but yeah, that was definitely

(19:33):
my favorite. I saw that onefirst. That was another one one of
those ones where I saw that onefirst and I didn't realize it was a
part of a series because that's likeyou see that when you're a kid man
and it's like it's the action andit's just like, yeah, America,
Yeah, screw those comies. LikeI think I saw this one first as
well, Like you know when yousee a movie and you're like, oh,
yeah, this one could definitely standalone. Is like the first in

(19:56):
the series. Yeah, that's that'syou know, first well part you know
Port two for me. He's likethat could start off as number one as
is, Like you know, therewas never a story showing Rambo like in
the Unit. Yeah, I thinkthat would be it would be an interesting
That would be an interesting like ifyou knows, oh God, write this
down and they just call it BakerCompany. Yeah, Baker Company, and

(20:19):
it's just about what they did inVietnam. Yeah, exactly how did he
get that good? Like, yeah, like those we could throw in some
like they could throw in some otherexperiences, Like I'm a big fan of
the Roy Benavita story. They kindof work that in there to where like
he was a part of that operationor something. Dude, we're onto something
right now, Rambo Baker Company.I'm literally gonna like write that down right,

(20:41):
write it down right. Yeah,and we can just you know,
I mean obviously, like we're gettingvery excited right now because this is a
killer idea. Yeah, like youcould. I mean it doesn't need to
be you know, so Bester Saloonbecause back then he looks so different.
You could find some write it up. You know, guy that a talent,
guy that looks just like him.Yeah, yeah, they could somebody.
He doesn't have long hair, he'sgot short hair, like you just

(21:02):
have to you know, or youcan just dub him in AI. I
don't know. They could do ZachEffron. I feel like zach Efron because
he's freaking jacked right now, yoked, right now, he's doing he Man
and that wrestling movie the Irestling.Yeah, the Irons, Oh my god,
he's so they could they just jeepinghis voice a little bit, you
know, young because solvester a lordedlike his accent has become more pronounced as

(21:22):
he's gotten older. But when hewas a young guy, he was just
talking. He just kind of hada deeper kind of New York accent or
whatever. Yeah, all right,we're gonna do this. Don't don't you
guys steal this. If you stealthis, you can write this before we
do and produce it than fair play, but don't. Yeah, just give
us royalties. Yeah, okay,copyright are going to Starbucks. All right,

(21:47):
Well that's a great idea, Sonobody steal other rise I'll be freaking
past. Yeah all right. Uh, we're in the eighties now, yes,
and there's a lot of good actionthat he has done. What's one
of your favorite ones? Kind ofin the eighties. In the eighties,
this one's this one was part ofmy childhood because like I had an unreal

(22:08):
fascination in grade school with arm wrestling, so over the top, over the
top, over the top to me, you know, and this was like
elementary middle school. Over the topwas like that core memory for me because
like, you know, for somereason, jacked men driving semi trucks,

(22:32):
you know, and arm wrestling wasjust like this universe I wanted to like
if this was a separate planet,I would get on a rocket ship and
like go over there, like thatmovie has just is just full of just
you know, things that you seeon the outside that you know immediately like
correlate with over the top, Likeif you're arm wrestling somebody and before you

(22:53):
start, you take your hat andyou pull it to the back, like,
dude, it's it's it's a switch. It's a switch. It switched.
Like he talks, they do thatgreat thing where they have the promo
and they treat him like it's aninterview. He's like, you know what,
tryout. It's almost like a switch, like I'm turning it on,
you know. Yeah, And thenhe has like the son relationship where you

(23:14):
know, he's just a trucker guy. That's just you know, the mom
can't handle the lifestyle because you know, I'm a trucker that know, I'm
rustled. So what she's like wantshis son's like in a military academy and
his wife married some rich dude orwhatever, the rich grandpa, the rich
father who's like, you're a disgrace, You're nothing but a You're nothing but
a plea a club, you know, a normal every man. Yeah.

(23:37):
Yeah, he just sends his themom sends the son to go learn from
his father, like to be likea man, like what does a man
do? Or to like spend timewith his father and he just turns him
into this disgruntled kid that knows howto drive a stick shift and steals a
car when he's like fourteen and hisdad's trying to win a brand new shiny
truck. Yeah. Yeah, it'sjust that movie for me was you know,

(24:00):
that was like I remember hearing aboutit because my dad was like,
you you liked arm wrestle. Huh. I'm like, yeah, like,
yeah, I liked you because Ilike to win. And he's like,
you were over the up and I'mlike what And I saw it and I
was just like, entire personality change. That's awesome, man, I feel
so that makes me feel so goodbecause I was around, you know,
I got to see this in theaters, you know, and then you wonder

(24:22):
if these kinds of movies will likelive on. But I'm so glad that
you got to see it, andnot only that, but you got to
see it when you were a kid, which is like when the best time
to see this kind of movie.Yeah, you know, I'm actually going
to rewatch that movie again because like, seeing on this list made me so
happy. Yeah, Lincoln Hawk again, he co wrote this one too.

(24:45):
Yeah, it's one of those greatones where you gotta have the great story
of telling elements because it's obviously abouta father and a son, like trying
to reconcile. That's a basic storyline, but it's wrapped up in the backdrop
of arm wrestling championships, and theyif you can make a movie about any
kind of sport and have it beinspirational. But like, I'm sure that

(25:06):
at one time arm wrestling did havesome sort of like big following. Yeah,
it's like Karate Kid came out,like everybody wanted to do karate Yeah,
gleaming the cube with skateboarding. Yeah, deep cut. Well let me
ask you, is he so inthe eighties, right, we talked a
lot about over the Top. Whatwould what's your selection for like eighties stallone

(25:26):
movies? Well, I mean ifif if we can only choose one and
I can't do over the Top becauseI was thinking about that one, were
you? Yeah, we could moveon to the nineties. Make it easy,
Let's just move on to the nies, man, because I was gonna
it was either gonna be that orTango in Cash, because that's where the
all time great team ups him andKurt Russell. But Tango and cash just
it's kind of fun. It's gotsome good good stuff to us, some

(25:48):
good lines, so good. It'slike a buddy action comedy. Yeah,
over the top man, you know, made me halfway. Yeah, the
ending. I'm surprised Dan Bush wasn'tin that movie. Like that movie.
Yeah, oh you didn't like Cobra. I thought Cobra was like, oh
you never saw I think you shouldgo watch it because it's just like RoboCop

(26:10):
without the oh oh he's a cop. Yeah, so like the oh he's
a main If I had to compareit to one movie, it would be
like, imagine if Snake Bliskin wasa police officer. Oh, I'm going
to see that. Yeah, that'sit he like, and they probably couldn't
be remade today because like obviously somethingsome like things that are in that movie.

(26:32):
But yeah, he's a cop,and he's just like this badass cop
that like goes after like you know, he doesn't play by the rules,
and somehow he still has a job, you know, Like couldn't he get
called into the office of the chief? Yeah my office? Now? Yeah?
Literally, So yeah, see Cobrat'sI think it's streams in like Hulu
or something. But he's like,hey, dirt bag, and he's just

(26:53):
a piece of shit criminal. Itwould be good to go back so the
eighties. Ever, every movie,every decade kind of has its own characterizations,
you know, politics and culture andwhere we're at in society and stuff.
I wonder if all these tough guyscould you got like dirty Harry and
then you got Cobra and you gotall these tough guy cop movies. I

(27:14):
just wonder, like, I didn'tpay attention to politics because I was you
know, like you know, growingup basically, But I wonder why that
was such a thing. And maybeit's just because those kinds of action movies
were popular, or if there wassomething going on in the society with cops
and criminals or whatever. I don'tknow, it'd be fun to go back.
I don't know when you can recommenda book or a YouTube video about
that kind of stuff. It's justinteresting because every every movie is within of

(27:40):
its time, you know what Imean. Yeah, and so it pulls
something out of the culture and takesit with it and you can kind of
examine things that way. I thinkit was a little bit like the perception
of cops back then were a littlebit more. You know, they could
get away with a lot more likethere was no cameras, there's you know,
they can get away with a littlebit more abuse of power. Oh,
I mean to prove your to proveyour theory there, pal just go

(28:02):
watch the earlier seasons of Cops andthen, uh they're so entertaining though.
Oh yeah, I remember Cops.That show went on for a long time.
Yeah, I still watch it everynight. Yeah. Really early days,
cinema Verite was like the reality television. Yeah no, yeah, they
have reruns on watch free on theVisio TV. So Sydney and I just

(28:22):
sit there and we didn't have asana, so we just put on Cops
all night and we just sweat.That's awesome, man. All right,
Well, now now we're kind ofgetting into the nineties. The nineties were
a good decade, uh for forYah, good stuff. I think this
was kind of we started maybe towardsthe end of the decade early two thousands,

(28:42):
maybe like he had kind of atime where he I don't think he
was doing a whole lot real butmaybe not. Maybe I'm just thinking,
but like you know, kind oflate nineties, early two thousands, I
feel like there was a period,but like the nineties were good decade for
him. That's like when he's inhe's in his prime. He's at the
top of his game. And uh, we get demolition Man John Spark,

(29:03):
which is one of those all timegreats still action movies. Yeah, and
one of those ones where the premiseis it's weird, but it also has
kind of kind of a stute socialconentarre I would say it's even kind of
relevant today because everybody he's like theit's like we're talking about like the tough
cop, the no nonsense, getin there, kick butt, you know,

(29:23):
and like go he goes like outsideof the lines to get the job
done. But then he gets accusedof killing all these people wrongly and they
freeze him right in this special likeprison. But then they wake him up
like forty fifty years later, andall society has become like this hoity toady
like soft yeah, super boy boy, you know, kind of like everybody's

(29:45):
like really peaceful, we don't wedon't use physical violence. But then all
but then when uh what's his name, blade, uh Wes the Snipes gets
released, they can't handle them becausehe's like he doesn't play by the rules
either. Yeah, he didn't playbout anything. So they have to they
have to get Sylvester Sloane man honestlykiller cast because like this was when Wesley
Snipes was like also like you know, at the top of his game.

(30:10):
Yeah yeah, and he's like itlike hardcore martial artists. Great, yeah,
great action star in his own right. Sandra Bullock, Yeah, there
you go. Sandra Bullock plays likeyeah, yeah, because the original Blade
came out in uh ninety eight,so okay, so this is still before.
Yeah, this was like ninety three, and then you had Dude Jack
City in ninety one for Wesley Snipes. But this is not a podcast about

(30:33):
Wesley Snipes. This podcast about SylvesterSloan a future episode maybe future in focus
episode Wesley Snipes. There you go, But yeah, no, it's Demolition
Man was good. But then Ithink there was like three movies, three
at least like elite level stallone moviesthat like made the nineties for him,
because he also had Judge dread Virtual, the first Judge dread Yep, it's

(30:56):
you know they tried for making it. No, this one will reign supreme
at all times. Yeah, youknow I liked I did like the remake.
I did like the remake. Theremake was good. Yeah, but
it's one of those that it's justlike, Okay, it was good,
but it's not gonna you know,I'm not gonna if I tell something about
this movie, I'm not gonna tellthem to watch the remake. I'm gonna
tell them to watch the original first. Yeah, the Judge, The Judge

(31:18):
dread. And then also for meat least, uh, you have a
oh why did I just miss it? Cliffhanger, Cliffhanger. Oh I was
gonna say Cliffanger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Cliffhanger is awesome. You
can yeah, yeah, oh no, Cliffhanger is amazing. Yeah, I'm
gonna kill me a mountain man.And freaking John Liftgal is the bad guy,
which is amazing because you think JohnLifgal has done a lot of great

(31:41):
John Legal is one of those actorsjust as an aside, who can do
it all. He can play dramaticor he can play uh comedic, and
he can play the good guy orthe bad guy. He just I actually
saw a live show of him once. I didn't meet him, but I
saw a live show in Los Angelesand he had a one man show.
It was kind of one half hewould tell a story and then the second

(32:01):
half he would tell a different story. Uh, and it was all just
him, him, just telling thestories. He's he's a great actor man.
He knows how to carry things.But uh yeah, Cliffhanger, man,
that's one of those it's one ofthose ones where I don't know.
It's it's funny the backdrops that wegive to action movies, you know what
I mean. Like this is aboutclimbing, it's about mountain climbing, and

(32:22):
I've never met a mountain climber thatI'm like, that's a violent individual,
you know. Yeah, that's likethat guy can carry himself in a fight.
It's like yeah, No, they'reusually like a RII employees. It's
like yeah, Rex or Michael Rooker. Yeah yeah. But interesting. I
just came across a little article onMaxim and I'm on there appropriately. But

(32:43):
uh, Jason Momoa to appear inCliffhanger reboot. Oh I don't know about
that. I don't know about thatone either. Some movies they just need
to stop, you know, justyeah, man, let them, let
them let them be. Yeah,yeah, I mean, you know,
that's never that's I think where Ithink Hollywood is definitely in a place right

(33:04):
now where there is no creative energy. No, we haven't had a whole
generation of filmmakers that have left andthere's a new generation in there and whatever.
For whatever reason, I think it'sprobably just a corporate kind of like,
hey, let's use the properties wegot and recycle them because that's easier.
Yeah, it's easier. But yeah, but I don't know, man,

(33:27):
it's I don't know. What didthey remake put Break? Yeah?
Oh that was the worst remake.Point Break was a movie. It should
have been like a sin to evenit came. Yeah, because I hope
the people, yeah it's so good. I hope the people that remade that
all burn in hell. You know. I hope they died horrible death.
They died horrible death, because thatwas like that was like the worst sin

(33:51):
ever. That was like, youknow, eveate the fruit Man, the
Pandora's Box. I'll tell you tosay that statement is he That article was
written in twenty nineteen, so Ithink it might you know, four years
ago, so that must have gotking hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it got
kicked. But this is and Thisis one of the reasons why I think

(34:12):
why we why we can have anepisode about Sylvester Stallone, because part of
Cliffhanger and these other movies is becauseSylvester Stallone is in it, and he's
a unique kind of person and actor, and he has a presence that a
lot of actors Jason Momoa, Ithink you give him a run for his
money. He has a presence,he has a style to him. But

(34:36):
there's just something about Sylvester Stallone,and also the tone of these movies,
like, we don't make action moviesquite in quite the same way. I
don't think back then that we usedto. I don't know, I don't
know. It's it's an interesting thing. I think that's why a lot of
let me just say this, whya lot of action remakes I think don't
necessarily work. And you guys canyou guys listening and watching, you guys

(34:57):
can correct me if I'm wrong inthe comments or send us an email.
No, action movies today are betteror they're worse, are about the same,
but uh snow, yeah, letus know. Yep. Bye.
Sending an email to pcfmpodcast at gmaildot com, or sending us a message
on Instagram at PCFM podcast. So, yeah, let us know what do
you think about action movies nowadays?We love to hear your opinion. But

(35:20):
uh yeah, I mean there's alot more movies that he did in the
nineties. You have Assassins, wehave the Specialist, Daylight, Copland.
Yeah, he was like after ninetythree, it was like almost a movie
every single year, maybe two upuntil ninety seven. Oh wow, Oh
that's interesting. Yeah. And thennow let's see if my theory holds true.
I guess let's see we did.We got we Got Get Carter in

(35:44):
two thousand, we got Ants GetCarter Driven, I See You in two
thousand and two, Avenging Angelo,Liberty Kids, Taxi three. So he
did had kind of a dip alittle bit shade Spike Istrae like, I
don't I don't really remember hearing somehalf of these movies. And then we
get Rocky Balboa in two thousand andsix, and then I think that was

(36:05):
the when things started coming back forhim, because we get Rocking in two
thousand and six, and then weget because so he goes back to the
well, he goes Rocky two thousandand six, Rambo two thousand and eight,
and then the Expendables in twenty ten. Yeah, and then he's kind
of like it's like a slow orit's like a like another rise over a
couple of years where it's like,oh, he's back, remember and now

(36:25):
he's in like a renaissance of hisown career, like in the latter part
of his life. Yeah, no, it's good. I mean the Expendable
series they're making, what they havefour of them, there's four of them.
I heard the last one. Iheard the fourth one was Garbagio,
but two yeah, I mean,well, well they're not being there.
They can't get all the all theoriginal guys back, so I think they

(36:45):
were trying to do like a handoffto Jason Statham, who's a strong action
actor, but they try to getsome new stuff like Eco u Ice and
some other action stars that are alittle bit younger, but not quite you
know, not quite the people thatwere in uh in the first the first
couple, the first three Yeah,you know, yeah, I mean they
yeah, I mean, you havelike the action greats in here. I

(37:07):
mean they should have just ended it, that's my opinion, like end it
with like and then if you wantedto, I wouldn't mix like this is
just my opinion. Yeah, Iwouldn't mix like old gin with new gen
and like try to do this handoff. I need to just start from completely
scratch and create a new genre ora new franchise with like all the younger
generations instead of like having this clichehandoff. You know. That's that's it's

(37:31):
the it's the it's the requel.It's the reboot kind of era that we're
in where you have to get theolder guys to kind of it's it's the
passing of the torch. You haveto try to do that. They try
to. It's Star Wars, It'sit's all these uh kind of other movies
and shows where they have the originalactors. They're in there, and but

(37:52):
they're kind of supporting cast and thenthey have the new cast. Uh.
You know, they did it withScream and Halloween and you know, I'm
maybe not so Halloween because they keptJamilely cursing there. But it's it's just
the way things are these days.Because they want to get people's nostalgia and
then they also want to keep thefranchise going, so they have to have
both of them in there. Butit's I don't think it's a very winning
formula from what you see. Imean expedables. For is Megan Fox trying

(38:15):
to become an action star? Yeah, remember we watched Rogue Rogue. I
think that that's because there's a lotof female actresses these days. They're making
that transition. They're a little older, right, So they they do some
CrossFit, they do some Kravmga,and then they you know, we got
Atomic Blonde, and we got youknow, a lot of these a lot

(38:37):
of these female action led movies.And so maybe she's trying to I think
she's just happy to work, honestly, I don't know, taking a break
from a weird relationship with Machine GunKelly. Yeah, maybe she's a couple
of weeks away. Yeah, I'dbe like, Okay, I'm tired of
like, you know, drinking eachother's blood, like you know, let's
I'm gonna go film an action movieand like surrounded by like, you know,

(38:59):
pretty normal people, you know,pretty normal Americans, and then I'll
come back to this and you know, structure in real life. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, absolutely, Butuh yeah, the expendables, I mean
I enjoyed them in the beginning,but now they're kind of getting a little
crazy, but I mean he's livedthat. You know, I think we're
getting pretty close to the end here. But Sylvester Stallone has lived a life

(39:21):
where it's yes, yes, yes, and he's and he's definitely taken charge
of his life, like he's mademoves. He hasn't just been like a
passive kind of observer or just anactor. He's always been a writer.
Apparently you can see he's got writingcredits to whatever degree that's true. Sometimes
they just he just gives an idea. He's like, if I'll give you
this idea, you got to giveme the writing credit. But producing,

(39:45):
you know, he I'm sure he'sgot a good amount of cash from the
Expendables franchise. Sure, I mean, what is good old Sylvester Saloon's network.
Let's see so a little and nowhe's on he's on Tulsa King.
He's got a great show going on. Or I've heard he's got a great
show. I haven't actually seen it, but you know, he's good friends
with James Gunn. He made he'smade appearances in the Guardians of the Galaxies,

(40:08):
uh movies, which I guess thatthat's over with now. But but
he's got stuff coming up. Man, he's gonna armored Cliffhanger. Clif wait,
Cliffhanger to post product pre oh no. Gab Walker and his daughter have
a mountaineering company in the Italian Alps. The tragedy strikes, so Gabe and
his daughter must deal with and overcomethe tragedy, and some bad guys appear

(40:29):
and all held them bad guys.Description on IBB that's I don't know who
wrote that, but somebody who's notgoing to run him taglines yeah, no,
no, no, for to gooff on a rabbit hole here.
Like the descriptions, I've read acouple that like those people need to be
fired because like on Hulu, likeI was, I was gonna rewatch the

(40:51):
Accountant with you know why am iBen Affleck? Yeah? With Ben Affleck,
and like like he's an autistic guywho runs numbers for criminal organizations and
he's like a trained hitman. Andin the description, it's just like a
finance guy finds himself on the wrongend of a barrel, and it's like,
no, have you even seen thismovie? It's not good. But

(41:13):
Sylvester Saloon's network is according to Celebrityneetworth dot Com. It says it's four
hundred million dollars, so he's inthe category of one of the richest celebrities.
But also this says he's five footnine, and Google says he's five
foot ten, so who knows somewherein there five nine I thought he was.

(41:34):
I thought he was way taller.Yeah, I think it's one of
those like he has such a presenceand they must maybe they shoot him a
certain way, or get actresses andactors that are about as tall as or
maybe a little bit shorter than heis. That's about average height. I
think he would be about my height. I'm like, yeah, I mean
that's what they say about me too, because I'm five to seven, and
they're like, yeah, just hispresence makes it a presence. Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, but absolutelywe I think, you know, Sylvester

(42:00):
Saloon, these are fun to dojust because you see how much of an
impression they left. But we havea fan question, and this fan question
comes to us from our biggest fan, Chris Magic Voice, Chris the Producer.
He really wants to know what's yourfavorite Sylvester Stallone movie. Okay,

(42:21):
all right, let me favor methinks I need a minute here, I
need to focus my energies is veryimportant because it's always favorite is always such
a subjective thing, like what parametersdo you use? There's an emotional connection,
like it might not be the best, but like what made an impact
in your life? I mean,if you don't mind, I can go
yee. I already mentioned it.You know, we were talking about the

(42:42):
eighties over the top. For me, favorite Sylvester Salone movie of all time,
but I will tell you a closesecond is the two thousand and eight
Rambow reboot. Yeah. I thinkthat was just super well done. Yeah,
just because it like he's aged,so it's like he moves to Cambodia.
He's like aged, right, andlike it's so believable, you know,

(43:05):
because it is put in after likeall the actions of the Rambo movies
and then he's like still jacked andhe's still buff and like I don't know,
he's it's such a good It's soviolent. Yeah. The action is
absolutely crazy, like the scene wherehe jumps on the fifty cal and turns
it and like blasts away all thosedudes and they're literally just like torn to

(43:27):
pieces that are exploding exploding from theimpact. If I was like, if
I had to imagine, you knowwhat that would look like being hit by
a fifty cal Like, that's theydid it. That's it. You know,
there is no room for imagination.They was like all on the screen.
Yeah. Yeah, that's a greatway. You know, you have
to evolve a series of franchise,and I feel like they that was a

(43:49):
good evolution of the Rambo franchise.Yeah. No, it was done perfectly.
Like he's a little bit slower,you know, but he's it's he's
older, like it's everything was sixtieswhen he did that or so yeah,
probably maybe like late fifties. Butyeah, This Rainbow two thousand and eight
is a close, close second favoritefilm. Yeah, I mean in terms

(44:10):
of like long I always think ofit in terms of could I watch Could
I watch this movie over and overagain and not get tired of it?
Or could I go back to itand watch it and still get almost the
same amount of joy and enjoyment outof it? And if I had to
say, if I could, I'mtrying to pick just one, but in
terms of long term impact, interms of my interest that it had influenced

(44:34):
First Blood Part two, Part two, Rambo First Blood Part two where he
goes back. He's got the explodingarrow tips, he's got the the the
rocket launcher back Busteria, clear shotfrom the down helicopter. You know.
It's the classic eighties America versus Russia, the USSR you know. And he's
got the one arm M sixty.It's so iconic, you know, So

(44:58):
that one and then a close second, really close second would be Demolition Man.
Okay, I can watch that movieat any time. All restaurants are
Taco Bell, Sandra Boula, like, it's so great restaurants our Taco Bell.
How much did they pay? Howmuch did they pay to have them
go to a talking man? Yeah? Yeah, that was an awesome plug
for them. Yeah, well coolman answer. So Chris, we hope

(45:21):
you uh, you know, learneda little bit about Isy and I.
At least we didn't have like thesame answer, so that was good.
Yeah, yeah, it's cool.Our individuals, we are individuals. Well
with that, folks, we haveone final thing before we wrap up this
podcast, and as we do inPCFM fashion, we always end the episodes
with a game, and this gameis he is for you? So are

(45:42):
you ready. I'm ready, man, I'm ready for Chris. So welcome
to another round of Who's one liner? Is it? Anyway? I'm going
to say a famous movie one liner, and you tell me if it was
Sylvester Stallone who said it, orsomeone else? Bonus points if you can
tell me who who the someone elsewas? Are you ready? I'm ready?

(46:04):
All right? So no, nowarm up? All right, here
we go. You can see ifyou're watching this on YouTube, you can
see that my eyes were closed.I'm just blanking my mind, just letting
it come to me. Yeah,all right, here we go. No
warm up. Rambo, Rambo's apussy. Oh that's that's so tough.

(46:28):
I mean, I don't think itwas Sylvester Stallone because he would be talking
about himself. So I'm gonna saynot Sylvester Stallone, but uh, I
can't. It's I think it's anIt's got to be another movie where he's
referencing some sort of action hero orsome sort of tough guy kind of thing.

(46:51):
That's funny because now I'm thinking ofthe other line. There's somebody else
talks about like Batman being being awoos because he like doesn't kill people or
whatever. But anyway, Okay,so I'm gonna say it's not not Rambo,
but I don't know or not,so thats Stone, but I don't
know who it is. Oh itis alone. Yeah, it's from Yeah,
it's from Tango and Cash. Reallythat's so meta. Yeah, that's

(47:14):
so meta. Oh my gosh,the metaverse. He's breaking. He's breaking
the barriers, dude. That's likein Twins when Arnold Schwarzenegger is walking through
Los Angeles and he sees a posterfor First Blood Part two and he like
starts to compare the muscle size.He's like, ah, I never mind,
yeah, yeah, wait what's man. Isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger considered for the
Rambo? Oh? Was he?I hadn't heard about that lore. Oh,

(47:37):
I don't know. It could beLaura. I'd believe it because they
were like same era, you know, Yeah they definitely Yeah, Running Gun
kind of h who's the top actionstar? Yeah? All right, So
it's okay, we still got one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven of these electo herewe go, hopefully you can you
can get it back here. Sonext line is I'm still kick in.

(48:00):
I must be on Broadway. Okay, that's not Sylvesta Silone. That's Jean
Claude van dam from Time Cop.That's the last thing he says before he
kicks John Silver or Joel Silver intopast Joel Silver into future Joel Silver and
then they occupy the same space andthen they turn into a weird globule thing
and go and god. Okay,so I mean you're pretty confident on that

(48:22):
one, so I'm not even gonnalike hold any suspense. Yeah, absolutely,
you're right because you like described itto a te so good job.
Yeah, not Stallone. That wasindeed Van Damn in Time Cop. All
right, next line, You're adisease and I'm the cure. Oh man,
that sounds like Agent Smith for theMatrix because he talks about humans being

(48:43):
a disease. You're a disease andon the cure. I think that is
Sylvester Stallone because it sounds something likeeither like Demolition Man or or Dread or
something like that. So I'm gonnasay, yes, Sylvester Stalone. And
you are indeed correct. And youmentioned you have seen this one before,
but it is from Cobra. Okay, all right, right, answer wrong

(49:05):
movie. Yeah, so you're no, you got it right, But yeah,
you can kind of see it haslike those you know, snake bliskin
type lines. Yes, yes,Stallone as blisk it as a cop.
So check it out. All right, So next one, here we go.
I want them to know that deathis coming and there's nothing they can
do to stop it. I meanthat sounds like a Sli Stallone kind of

(49:27):
line. I can hear whom deathis coming and and then they could do
to stop it. I'm gonna say, yes, that's a sly Stallone.
I can't I don't know, maybeJudge Read or something like that. I
don't know. Correct, it isStallone, but it's not from Judge Dread.
It is from Rambo. Oh okay, I yeah, I'm right.

(49:49):
I mean I'm right in all thewrong ways. Wrong. Yeah, I
mean, you know it's bonus points, right, but you're you're hitting them.
You know you're hitting You're not you'renot knocking them down, but you're
hitting them. Okay, all right, it's a good analogy. Yeah,
all right, moving right along.I've retired more men than Social Security.
I've retired security. That's definitely agreat action line that sounds like a cheesy

(50:12):
eighties action line. I've retired moremen than Social Security. I don't know.
I'm playing the odds this time.I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna
say I've retired more men than SocialSecurity. You know what I'm gonna I'm
just gonna say yes. I haveinstincts to say no because of the I'm
kind of running the averages down theline with this, but I'm gonna say,

(50:32):
I'm just gonna say yes. I'mgonna say yes. Oh you should
have went with the averages. Itis not a stallone line. It is
Carl Weathers from Rocky four. I'veretired more men than Social Security? All
right, Hey, fair enough.Carl Weathers had his time. Yeah,
but he couldn't couldn't quite stand ontop. But he was he was the

(50:53):
man back then. He was apredator. Here Action Jackson. Yeah,
he was in uh freaking happy Gilmorewith his hand with his yeah, all
in all in the hips. Sodon't worry about me. Happy. I
got my hand back. Yeah,I got my head back. That's good.
I love what he's just poking himwith it, like he's like,

(51:15):
hey quick, yeah, all right, moving along, here we go,
left, right, what's the difference, what difference does it make Leo,
We're in a desert. Let metry that again. Left? Right?
What difference does it make? Leo? We're in a desert? Man,

(51:37):
all right, just have to goquickly down down the line. Uh left,
right? What We're in the desert. Try it with the accent.
You know, when was he?When is when has Sylvester Saloon ever been
in a desert? It had tobe like the because like Rocky series,

(51:59):
No, no or no? Really? Yeah? Yeah, Tango and Cash.
Maybe I'm not really sure. I'mgonna say yes though, because I
feel like that that sounds very goodin his in his mouth. That sounds
good in his mouth if I dothe accent. Interesting way to say that.
But if that's your final answer,you are incorrect. It is not

(52:20):
Stallone. It is actually Chuck Norrisin Firewalker. Oh dang man, that
