Which comedians? As far as I know comedians mimic his voice because its unique (just like Arnie), but they dont mock his IQ...in fact the story of making the Rocky film is always considered as the prime example of struggling and making it big.
He may be known for all these big dumb tough guys he’s been playing for 40 years, but - and it’s evident in this interview - this man is one of the most supremely intelligent men in Hollywood. I’ve actually watched this clip a couple times cause I’m always astounded by the elegance and the intellect on display.
When I listen to this and watch the movie it sounds like he's just full of shit. The Rambo in the movie just doesn't seem like a talker. The guy who edited this movie should have gotten an oscar if the John Rambo character was uttering these idiotic lines Stallone is talking because it doesn't sound like the character would say this dumb shit in the dialogue scenes that do come threw. It makes me think Stallone is over dramatizing how ridiculous the lines were.
Stallone is awesome because he's the "Columbo" of Hollywood. He plays it low-key and unassuming, but he's often the smartest person in the room and four steps ahead of those who claim to know better.
What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Are you kidding me…Rambo was and still is one of the greatest movies ever made. “Let it go, let it go or I give you a war you won’t believe” and the music in scene was a killer.
Yes I read they couldnt afford the permits to shoot in Philadelphia so they had to rush to get it under the radar. The best films are art through adversity. Star wars a new hope george was reigned in bc he didnt have the money or power to call all the shots. Things go bad when u have yes men around and not challenge.
Yeah, but if I offered you 100 thousand dollars for you car, and you took it, wouldn't you feel like crap if I turned around and sold it for 100 Million?
I love whenever Stallone talks about Rocky, because you can tell how much of himself and his heart is in that. It was everything. Regardless of how big of a star he became, that same street kid turned boxer was always the same. He always seem an humble and sincere about it.
I have to thank him and Arnold for liking to hit the gym up to this day. I grew up watching them and thinking. Damn I want to be strong like them. If only they knew how many people they inspired to live better.
I met him many times, my best friends god father, and father was his body guard and in his movies. Tony Munafo was his name and sly were best friends, Tony died last year and his son was an extra in the last blood.
Sly inspired Matt Damon and Ben Affleck when they were trying to get Good Will Hunting made. They got the exact same feedback from studios that he did for his script in that 'we love the script, let us pay you and cast some well known stars' and Matt Damon said their response to this was to use the principle that Stallone started to let studios know that they didn't know what they were talking about and they would do a better job than anyone they could get even though they were nobodies at the time. It's a shining light to any young writers/actors out there when they feel pressured by money men
First Blood is still about my favorite movie, that music, the scenery, the intensity, awesome, still watch it every time it comes on. And Stallone, cut as hell in all of them, what discipline, legend.
For his perseverance alone, he deserves every bit of his success - never mind that the dude wrote Rocky, which screenwriting professors could use to teach screenwriting classes. Great great film.
@thomas wright they would if they wanted to but sirius has to make $ somehow and howard makes it for them lol literally the only reason they are still relevant
He's always been a witty guy. I remember in one interview he described how they would kind of go crazy preparing for Rocky sequels. He said you know you're working out too much when you start getting veins in your hair...guy is hilarious!
SIKE01 eh it was good for that kinda movie but it’s been done so many times at that point if he wasn’t getting one for rocky definitely not getting one for creed
@@Jakem763 At the end of the day he still got an Oscar for the first Rocky's screenplay so no matter what he can be billed as Academy Award Winner Sylvester Stallone similar to how Matt Damon is for writing GWH.
There was two major action actors back in the 80s and 90s, Sly and Arnold. For me, two great actors but I draw a distinction between the two. Arnold plays and acts with his head and Sly always with the heart. But two amazing people and gave me many wonderful moments in Cinemas. Thank you Sylvester Stallone.
Sylvester's first movie is like a Bands first album you have your whole life to write it and plan for it it can be done in a short amount of time because the pre production was done years before
Sly's intelligence is extremely underappreciated. I've seen comedians make fun of him but it always feels like they're missing something in their impression of him. It's his intelligence. I dont believe in Role models but this guy is someone I think fits... no... is the mold of something like that. I envy him.
Sylvester Stallone is my idol! He is actually an incredibly brilliant man who has strove forward in Hollywood for many years to become as successful and renowned as he is now! ~Dutch
The part where Sly tells the story of how the studio was going to keep him on a very short leash is true. The studio didn't want a rogue situation on their hands with artistic battles. There is a scene in Rocky where director John G. Avildsen was happy with the take and was fine to move on , however Sly convinced him please one more take I got something. Aware of the " artistic concerns " Sly convinced him to trust him and it was going to be habitual. The scene in question was the night before the fight and he's lying in bed witj A driene and he delivers the mologue : Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood." It's the take they used in the final cut and a memorable moment. I'm sure the lines and the delivery resonated in Slys personal life during that time because that film changed his life. As an artist he was on his way. Gonna fly now he did. Great film one of my all time favorites
Stallone is an awesome guy....I've read his books, Sly magazine, and Rocky is one of my favorite movies. The poignant parts of these movies hold up over time. Now he makes family vids and damn if those aren't fun to watch too. This is a good match. Stern does interviews really well and he's genuinely interested in his guests and always asks great questions. I'd prefer just Howard but I understand loyalty.... thanks for the video.
Phenomenal Interview. Stallone would make an amazing teacher of the art. As a Story Teller, Screen Writer and Actor he has amassed a deep well of wisdom in film. He truly has paid his dues. Thank you for the memories of your Grit!
Love sly. Such an amazing life story. Did so much for all of us with the rocky series. Changed lives, taught a lesson to never give up. And even though he has quite a few dumpster fire movies and cheesy roles, he CAN ACT! If you don’t believe it watch Cop Land.
Even though I was born in 1998, some of my favorite films to watch was the Rocky and Rambo films. My father only kind of liked the first film of each, but I fell in love with each one - with the exception of the most recent Rocky and Rambo film(sixth Rocky film and the fifth Rambo).
First Blood is a film very close to my heart having seen it many times s a kid..and to this day still think it is the best thing Sylvester did outside of the Rocky films and maybe F.I.S.T and Nighthawks.
Kudos to him for admitting that First Blood was great because he had them cut his dialogue. Totally makes sense, the character is a Vietnam Vet with PTSD, and sees the local cops screwing with him as being back in captivity with the Viet Cong. That guy wouldn't be a big talker.
Not a fan of the sequels but the First Blood is work of art. Heard similar story about A New Hope. Apparently good editor is worth his/her weight in gold.
I remember watching it as a 13 year old. I would tell my best friend, "All that dipshit of a Sheriff had to do was just NOT fuck with him and let him go into town for a hot meal, but OH NO.....he had to start shit and be the tough guy. Watch Jim...Rambo gonna finish that that fat fuck sheriff started." LOL.... even almost 40 years later I can still remember me saying that. It was a great movie.
Successful people shouldn't say they would commit suicide if things hadn't worked out. Too many people out here without things going well that don't need to hear that.
The great thing about Rambo is it’s a slow burn. You see him alone with nothing. Then he’s mistreated. You see the trauma he’s endured. Then he snaps and takes out the whole sheriffs department and when he bursts out the front door and the music swells you’re in. It’s you and Rambo against the world.
Watch an extended clip of his 2005 interview exclusively on the SiriusXM app: siriusxm.us/2GuQfri
any chance of dropping that clip here? It's pretty old now :)
damn you howard! show 'em all here! :p
@@bhew7409True🙂
Tham them you was better than they i hawed seende all the films!!
Didn't know that about Rambo. Cool
Yes bro!! That's awesome your a Stallone fan. Your channel is dope too brother!!
Rambo is a dope series
rambo commits suicide at the end.. but Stallone thought about it after and said NO! can see the suicide on dvd or youtube search it
Wait how has nobody replied to this comment 😂, love your content man, definitely didn't expect to see you here lmao
Hey bro love ur content
Comedians for decades would make fun of Stallone, say he's dumb, but he's obviously a brilliant dude.
Brilliant Brilliant guy
I guess it never occurred to them he was “acting”
Which comedians? As far as I know comedians mimic his voice because its unique (just like Arnie), but they dont mock his IQ...in fact the story of making the Rocky film is always considered as the prime example of struggling and making it big.
Those comedians can't write, produce and act in successful films. They feed off clown soup.
He may be known for all these big dumb tough guys he’s been playing for 40 years, but - and it’s evident in this interview - this man is one of the most supremely intelligent men in Hollywood. I’ve actually watched this clip a couple times cause I’m always astounded by the elegance and the intellect on display.
Taking Rambos dialogue out was a genius decision.
Made the character...a loner
I’m sure they got the idea from watching Arnold in NY LOL.
The quiet strong brooding ex vet comes across sooooooo much better.
When I listen to this and watch the movie it sounds like he's just full of shit. The Rambo in the movie just doesn't seem like a talker. The guy who edited this movie should have gotten an oscar if the John Rambo character was uttering these idiotic lines Stallone is talking because it doesn't sound like the character would say this dumb shit in the dialogue scenes that do come threw.

@roseslasher - Agreed.
This dude only gets cooler with age.
This interview is 14 years old
I think it's the Broccoli.
.
He has a happy family life. That matters.
So you think he is pretty uncool here?
That's the best Sylvester Stallone interview I've seen did you see how Stallone kept looking over at Robin and trying to include her in the interview
It's those little things that show when someone is a quality person, good eye
Gentleman...
I noticed
Classy, respectful, humble, wonderful guy.
I noticed that too! Great point. He's class. Pure class.
Stallone is awesome because he's the "Columbo" of Hollywood. He plays it low-key and unassuming, but he's often the smartest person in the room and four steps ahead of those who claim to know better.
Best comment.
Todd, that is an excellent spot-on analogy.
That's why he trolled states for 13 year olds in states where it was legal.
@@jimcorrigan1178 what does that even mean

He can eat thing that would make a Billy goat puke ;)
What I would give to see the original ridiculous 3 hour Rambo with all the cheesy 1 liners!
Hey! You ruin my childhood, you gonna get hurt.
Fuck yeah
First blood is still to this day awesome
Best ever top 5 in my favorites !!
aztec999999 whenever I see it run on tv I just watch the rest... just like I do with shawshank redemption
Yep. Totally agree. Should've ended right there. Rambo 2 and 3 plus the cartoon and toy franchise? Completely unnecessary and a huge mistake.
I hope the music in that movie won an oscar. It perfectly sets the scenes, and creates stress.
“They drew first blood! NOT ME............. they drew first blood!”
Wow Rocky was filmed in 28 days?! Wow. 👏
I’ve loved Rocky since I was 9 and I didn’t know that. Totally shocked. What a masterpiece.
Pazuzu,"wallet no repeats",Gothic Cathredal.
Wow.
Yes I read they couldnt afford the permits to shoot in Philadelphia so they had to rush to get it under the radar. The best films are art through adversity. Star wars a new hope george was reigned in bc he didnt have the money or power to call all the shots. Things go bad when u have yes men around and not challenge.
I love Stallone, but he exaggerates when telling stories a LOT. I wouldn't take everything he says at face value.
Stallone is a legend. That scream that he made in Rambo when he fell down from a tree was real because he cracked a bunch of ribs.
Couldn’t imagine anyone else playing Rocky. I’m glad he stuck it out. $360k is no joke especially back then
About $1.7MM in today dollars. That is true belief in yourself and vision to be broke and hold out like that. Awesome.
Yeah, but if I offered you 100 thousand dollars for you car, and you took it, wouldn't you feel like crap if I turned around and sold it for 100 Million?
After some googling, it looks like that is worth about 1.6 million today with inflation and all that.
It's no joke even today if you're poor, lol.
Maybe a very young Paul Newman
Legend
Rambo without Sly is unthinkable, First Blood is still one the best movies ever.
Taxi driver deniro would have been great
He seems like the kinda guy you wanna grab a beer with
He seems like the kinda guy who is too awesome and wont have beer with me
Michie F......I don’t drink beer ?
I love whenever Stallone talks about Rocky, because you can tell how much of himself and his heart is in that. It was everything. Regardless of how big of a star he became, that same street kid turned boxer was always the same. He always seem an humble and sincere about it.
He’s the definition of think fast, talk slow.
Mind blown that the first Rocky movie was shot in 28 days.
i saw sly in real life at an event it was a life changing experience. His energy is phenomenal
anoop prashar
That’s great to hear. You always wonder if he’s cool in person too
Can you please tell me why everyone has that profile picture?
I have to thank him and Arnold for liking to hit the gym up to this day. I grew up watching them and thinking. Damn I want to be strong like them. If only they knew how many people they inspired to live better.

Stallone is awesome! Very smart dude and very humble and down to earth. Rare Hollywood gem.
I have massive respect for this guy.
ive just added this clip to my motivational videos list :)
Guy has a great sense of humor, especially about himself. Smart guy.

To think he was homeless and now he is where he is.. Mind blowing
J k Rowling or whatever, the Harry Potter woman was homeless, now a multimillionaire
S Allen was gay all along!
Ya no shit. I read somewhere, sly bought all the surrounding properties around his house in belair just so that he could choose his neighbors.
He was so poor before he shot Rocky, he had to sell his beloved dog. Once the movie became a hit, he bought his dog back.
@@Allentox billionaire actually believe it or not
My old man introduced me to Rambo and Rocky as a kid. Dont worry Sly. I will also introduce those 2 characters to my kids when they get older....
Now is the time. It will be in their blood
Kids today dont care about the past trust me , my son plays hockey but wont sit down and watch slap shot the older he gets the more annoying!
slap shot is not on the same level as rocky and rambo. Rocky will be around for generations.
You and me both man.
What a great fucking guy. I would pay to see the original Rambo "uncut". I bet it's hysterical.
My nephew died 10 yrs ago there was only 2 yrs between us . Every time I see sly it takes me back to us growing up . We loved his movies . RIP Thomas
"Let him speak!! Mr Stern" - Arnab

he got an academy award

@Steve McQuack who?
that “easy walker” line sounds so, so bad lol
Stallone can tell the rocky story a million times it never gets old. Hes a great story teller.
There was two major action actors back in the 80s and 90s, Sly and Arnold. For me, two great actors but I draw a distinction between the two. Arnold plays and acts with his head and Sly always with the heart. But two amazing people and gave me many wonderful moments in Cinemas. Thank you Sylvester Stallone.
Don't forget the eyes. Sly has deep eyes.
Man, Sly is a phenomenal interview. Just hanging on his every word.
I have a pair of signed boxing gloves and a prop from Rocky Balboa (the "Adrian's Restaurant" sign).
Too bad you don't have the Leroy Neiman painting from the restaurant.
Sylvester's first movie is like a Bands first album you have your whole life to write it and plan for it it can be done in a short amount of time because the pre production was done years before
First blood is a timeless classic, I love that movie.
Sly's intelligence is extremely underappreciated. I've seen comedians make fun of him but it always feels like they're missing something in their impression of him. It's his intelligence. I dont believe in Role models but this guy is someone I think fits... no... is the mold of something like that. I envy him.
He's such an articulate dude, i feel like I been lied my whole life, wasn't he supposed to be a moron?
This guy’s story is THE EPITOME of persistence and believing in yourself!!! I hope he writes a biography someday!!!!!
Sylvester Stallone is my idol! He is actually an incredibly brilliant man who has strove forward in Hollywood for many years to become as successful and renowned as he is now!
~Dutch
I think that, because of the type of movies he's always in, not a lot of people are hip to the fact that Sylvester Stallone is scary smart.
Believe in yourself and don't look back.
He's certainly not dumb.
One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He deserves every nice happening to him.

Stallone is so humble, so I'll say it, Stallone you're a MULTI TALENTED BLESSED GENIUS.
Rocky and Rambo are two ultimate classics that only Sly could pull off👍😎😎👍
Rocky and First Blood are great movies. Rambo is just a silly fun action movie.

Please stop interrupting your guests and constantly assuming what your guests were thinking or feeling during their stories,
Howard's talking a bit over Stallone here. Still a great interview tho
Yes I felt that too , maybe too much passion about Stallone is making him smother the dialogue a bit ...
Truth Teller oh weird!! 😂 he never does that
Howard talks over every guest he has in there
Because of Sly. Not Howard.
@@dadaevan the interview is still great.
I love hearing about the uphill battle he had in making what is in my opinion the greatest film franchise of all time!
First Blood is the best film he’s ever made and a American classic. Tks sly

Phenomenal Interview. Stallone would make an amazing teacher of the art. As a Story Teller, Screen Writer and Actor he has amassed a deep well of wisdom in film. He truly has paid his dues.
Thank you for the memories of your Grit!

You know what, the fact that he passed on that 360k, that might be the most impressive thing he's ever done.
So much respect for this actor and artist. An inspiration to many, many people.
Howard has a good way of making it seem like this is the person's first interview about a particular subject.
Even though I was born in 1998, some of my favorite films to watch was the Rocky and Rambo films. My father only kind of liked the first film of each, but I fell in love with each one - with the exception of the most recent Rocky and Rambo film(sixth Rocky film and the fifth Rambo).
I can't believe this guy is 59 yrs old in this interview! I'm going to start taking the Hgh or roids he's taking;)
less CONTRIVED! secret of Stallons early films. less is more in a way
First Blood is a film very close to my heart having seen it many times s a kid..and to this day still think it is the best thing Sylvester did outside of the Rocky films and maybe F.I.S.T and Nighthawks.
We would love to see that full 3 hours of First blood, Stalone cut! I am up for a 3 hour Rambo rumble!
First Blood was brilliant. Rambo was the Funtime follow up respectively.
wow. love sly but oddly enough at the end that has been my lifes philosophy. be the best and let others talk about you.
Have frank Stallone cmon and sing
We need a 3 hour First Blood release with all the crap dialogue.
There are only 4 or 5 people I love in Hollywood. Stallone is #1.
He is an underrated screenwriter. He basically wrote the Rocky, Rambo and The Expendables sagas.
Kudos to him for admitting that First Blood was great because he had them cut his dialogue. Totally makes sense, the character is a Vietnam Vet with PTSD, and sees the local cops screwing with him as being back in captivity with the Viet Cong. That guy wouldn't be a big talker.
He is obviously an intelligent man.
Rambo First Blood was greatest movie i saw as a kid ..
I am very happy for Sylvester Stallone's Success!
A fucking legend,he is so awesome
Not a fan of the sequels but the First Blood is work of art. Heard similar story about A New Hope. Apparently good editor is worth his/her weight in gold.
I want to watch the original 3 hour version! Lol
Cool
I saw Rambo when I was in 7th grade. It was all the boys could talk about. That movie was legend among the Jr. Highers
I remember watching it as a 13 year old. I would tell my best friend, "All that dipshit of a Sheriff had to do was just NOT fuck with him and let him go into town for a hot meal, but OH NO.....he had to start shit and be the tough guy. Watch Jim...Rambo gonna finish that that fat fuck sheriff started." LOL.... even almost 40 years later I can still remember me saying that. It was a great movie.
Then you should know it's called first blood, not Rambo.
damn... Robin looking good as fck
Successful people shouldn't say they would commit suicide if things hadn't worked out. Too many people out here without things going well that don't need to hear that.
"We tried to buy the film and BURN IT!" ... yeah only Sly would ever say that!
The great thing about Rambo is it’s a slow burn. You see him alone with nothing. Then he’s mistreated. You see the trauma he’s endured. Then he snaps and takes out the whole sheriffs department and when he bursts out the front door and the music swells you’re in. It’s you and Rambo against the world.
He looks so young
28 days! it took me three months to shoot 17 minutes. Makes the Rocky story even more amazing
2 of my absolute favorite Sly movies are Paradise Alley and F.I.S.T.
howard is the best for getting info out of guests that no one else can get out of people.....amazing....great....
"Zippy the monkey" lol
First Blood is such a good movie. I wish I could see the 3 hour version.
"Easy Walker?" Not too sure I'd watch that for three hours
Thanks God for Henry Winkler got script back.
Howard talked more then Sly
There’s only one sly but James Caan would’ve done justice to Rocky.
I cannot believe he filmed Rocky in under 30 days
