Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone After his double Oscar nominations for writing and starring in “Rocky,” Stallone preferred to use his fingers for pulling triggers rather than typing – “First Blood,” “Rambo,” “Cobra” and “Tango & Cash” highlighted his Reagan years. Post-‘80s highlight: “Cliffhanger” (1993) Post-‘80s lowlight: “D-Tox” (2002) went straight to video in the U.S. Where are they now? After respectably resurrecting his best character once more for “Rocky Balboa” (2006), Stallone is pushed his luck with “John Rambo." He's now directing a cast with a mix of reent and '80s action stars in "The Expendables."
