In 2006 he made Rocky Balboa, the story of
the return of the over the hill boxer into
limelight. Not many knew that it was also
the return of Sylvester Stallone into the
limelight. Somewhere down the line, the early
2000s, we thought we had lost the man who
had given us Rambo and Rocky. But, he is back
and how! Rocky was revived (for the last time
unfortunately), Rambo was revived and the
Stallone mania was back; people started remembering
the glory days of the ‘Italian Stallion’.
And, at 64 he has managed to pull off a coup
by uniting the largest action cast ever in
the history of cinema. Expendables might not
have been a great cinematic experience, but
for all those who love action and old school
action heroes, this was as good as it could
get.
