He also dodged the draft and then went on to portray people in movies who actually went to war..

Who would win, Rocky or Little Mac? Little Mac hits like a truck, but Rocky can take *legendary* amounts of punishment.
Munchman347
Like Pro sports, acting is full of stories of the thousands who didn't make it. He got lucky, others are still sleeping in the terminal...
ObliqueRay
Ah, Rocky... he'd tire his opponent's fists with his face and then win. It was an unbeatable strategy.

Stallone started in porn. 70's porn. Lotta bush.
DoctorDudeBruh
*he stole the life story of someone else.

He acted in a softcore porn once... just a fun fact.
RationalViking
such a nice story. makes me like him a lot more. :)
grumplestiltzkin
thats some nice survivorship bias you got yourself there, broseph
YeahBu0y
Touching, but apparently the only evidence it happened exactly this way is as interview from 2013. Color me skeptical.

Plot twist .... OP is Stallone

I didn't know this about him. Makes it so much better!
Kmillar99
That quote was my grad quote. Those words have gotten me through hard times.
VodkaReindeer
Did we decide he was innocent of those things those women accused him of?
amagiciannamedgob
"New Jersey bus terminal"? LMAO do you mean Port Authority?
TODAYSNUMBERIS
And he stole the whole plot. http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/page/IamChuckWepner/chuck-wepner-recognized-rocky-fame

He already is used as a role model in my school, I think the YouTube clip they showed was successful failures or something.
MitchBeaucannon
Congrats, @OP. You screwed up the quote from "Rocky Balboa". It's supposed to be "[…] keep moving forward!".

RIP STALLONE!

Feels like glorifying a system that allows for such poverty. It's like an ad for the false hope of the American Dream
clownfarts
Why do you allow for such poverty?
ConstantGardner
which basically benefits corporations - places in which salary discrepancies increase every year, pushing ppl to work harder for less money
ConstantGardner
Movies were great. This is just my thoughts on Stalone's story based on the fact that most fail and there's no welfare systm to support them
JonLogan
Yeah this never happened. https://www.snopes.com/stallone-sold-his-dog/
LobsterBandito
Yeah he also was doing porn and about a dozen films before Rocky (including MASH and Deathrace 2000) so he had at least some money.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
I don't know what happened personally but on that website Stallone says it was true, and no one says it was fake.
Gulanga
lol you're actually right. Had to go read it to check, but ye according to Stallone he sold his dog to an angry little person.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
that's funny because I don't remember buying his dog
ToneyLoo
Sylvester Stallone was also in porn.
khazaria
It was do that or be homeless. The porn wasn't even released until after he was famous.
IronicJeremyIrons
Party at Kitty and Stud's!
TheGreatGrantsby
The Italian stallion
THRAWN18
That the second title, after the success of Rocky
darkdragonempress
The original title was The Party at Kitty and Stud’s.
misterwappy
So he did "fuck 'em"?
ToneyLoo
He do.
khazaria
I love star wars and marvel and terminator, but Rocky might be the best franchise. His heart beat everyone, even Russia. Could use that now.
Sayagain
Best documentary ever along with Miracle on Ice. Him beating Drago and USA winning basically ended the Cold War

iamthisguy247
I loved Creed as well (the movie, not as much the group).
khazaria
Yeah and hoping the second one is still a thing
iamthisguy247
It's supposed to be Creed vs. Drago's son. Not sure what I think of that.

It created the montage! (or at least i feel like it did. I could be wrong but i'm accrediting it to franchise)
v3rtabreaker
This is probably the one of the best examples of montage even though Battleship Potekin perfected it over a hundred years ago.

Montages are as old as Hollywood. They were heavily used in old movies (think of spinning newspapers showing headlines).
youreawesome
Hey yea! Thanks for that.
