  • This is what you all have been waiting for. Today we are going to continue with the Tulsa King review. And though many of you liked the review of episode 1, I’ve also got some message about it that needs clarification on this video. In this episode, we’ll take a look at Episode 2 and break it down, and just like the first video, we’ll rate how realistic this episode is. If you have not seen Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King episodes 1 and 2, I suggest you do so you’d enjoy this review better.

Not defending them but to put yourself in that position with kids is to know you may not ever see them. Its similar with the military, but at least most of the time those people feel they are sacrificing themselves for the people back home. Mob life is just selfish through and through for families no matter if you're a killer, got killed, or ordered a hit.

    First, word has it that Sylvester Stallone is not used to serial-episode routine pace. He is being quoted as saying he’s not sure about doing a second season.
    Second, Sylvester Stallone is one of the most underrated actors of all time. Tulsa King is proof of that.
    Third, if there is no “mob” in a community, and there is only one mob, I don’t see how they can get a foothold into a community. More vs. one.

    A long time ago I met a guy at work who was a professional chauffer for many years at a top resort that catered to the very wealthy and sometimes famous, too. So I asked him who was his favorite celebrity that he drove for, and he said Sly Stallone. He was friendly, outgoing and personable, and he liked a good conversation. And people in the hospitality industry know him to be very generous and leave huge tips. He used to drive Stallone to the golf course back in the day, this was in Las Vegas in the 90's.

    Some corrections: the woman Stallone hooks up with, Stacy, is an ATF Agent (not FBI), and she is originally from NYC and had a lot to do with 9/11 post investigations and was very highly decorated for her service we find out in Episode 3, but got sent to ATF Siberia in Tulsa for an honest mistake she made that anybody would have done in her situation and the knowledge she had, even Stallone said he would have done what she did, but she got transferred. The guy shadowing Stallone is a horse trainer on a big horse ranch and he was a former accountant or something for the mob and he left because he got in trouble with the mob and started another life on his own without Witness Protection, and he was one of the reasons Stallone got pinched and went to prison, and he thinks Stallone's Crime Family has found him and Stallone is going to kill him for sending him to prison. At the end of the episode, Stallone is not looking at a building, he is standing in the center of a huge brick circle area out in the open in downtown Tulsa that is supposed to be the "center of silence" where you can hear and see what everybody else is doing, but no one can hear you so you can yell and scream and shout and confess your "sins" and no one hears you. Also, MF didn't touch on the re-negotiations scene for the marijuana dispensary with the supplier, it is pretty damn good.
    Episode 3 answers A LOT of questions, and has a lot of dry humor situations - this is a very entertaining show, it's fun and not boring, and it's not going to win any awards but the "juxtapositions" of situations between the mob in NYC, Stallone, Stallone's driver, Tulsa, the people in Tulsa he comes across and interacts with, him trying to reacclimate, etc., makes you laugh and think a little.

    Stallone has always been made fun of because of the slurred speech and the way Rocky talked in the first couple Rocky movies. That carried over into the Rocky Balboa movie and I gotta say, there's plenty of lines in Rocky movies that are so great. When he finds out Steps is Marie's son instead of the little white kid, that scene was HILARIOUS with Rocky's dialogue. His acting is very underrated in the right projects.

My mom always tells me how my grandpa and Sly were friends and would talk about cars and what not but my grandpa passed at 68 and my grandma a couple years ago so I’ll never truly know what or if those conversations took place. He also was invited to my grandpa’s parties I think.

    You mentioned Visitation while doing time. As A C/O and later SGT.. I saw a lot of New Boots that thought they were there to punish the offender. Once it sunk in that we could show our humanity; How we treated a guy after his visit, (Father's/Mother's day seemed to be the worst), Made a big difference on his ability to cope with the pain.

    One thing about the "supervised release" and seeing you parole officer, maybe it happens off screen. I have NOT watched it yet. I plan to wait til it's a few episodes in. But from a screenwriting standpoint, it's not urgent to the plot so maybe they simply skipped over it. Just a thought.

    We have to assume he had no supervised release after completing his bid. This is true because, had he had a parole officer, he would not be able to move to Oklahoma. Not without permission, not without a clearly defined, lawful job, and not without an established residence. Heck, you have to tell your PO about even wanting to take a trip out of the city or state. Even a one-day vacation.

    I worked in Military Corrections. Both for Military, and detainees from the middle east. Obviously two completely different situations.
    When I was working with the military guys state side I made sure to treat them as good as I could.
    There was one guy who just came in after a court martial to spend I don't remember how many months of confinement for theft of government property. He had a very bad mental breakdown one of his first nights in. By far the worst one I'd seen.
    I was able to get first a priest to talk to him, then a mental health doctor. We ended up transferring him to a off base mental health hospital for a few weeks.
    He came back and was far better. After he was released I saw him in the chow hall getting lunch. He had a big smile, and shook my hand thanking me for listening, and taking him serious where others didn't.
    That's the thing some people forget.

    I think that a movie about the “Mob Cops “ would be amazing especially if they got the right cast. It’s such a insane story when you really think about it. Nobody knows how they really got started and who came to whom with the first “job”. Caracappa was the one that was the brutal one out of them two even though Eppolito had the Mob connections. I know that a movie about the Mob Cops has been shopped around for a while now but you have to remember that a major studio only makes 3-4 movie projects a year from about a thousand different scripts. A lot of scripts/stories are optioned every year but that doesn’t mean that they will ever get greenlit.
