Stallone's greatest movie?

[Deleted]

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea on here, but what do you think is his best film? As much as I like the Rocky films, Cobra (1986) just delivers everything I want from a film. Synth score, rock soundtrack, neon, Pepsi product placement (there's a lot of it), witness protection theme, slasher elements, 80s LA, a one man army lead character and a runtime of only 87 minutes. I've even got a canvas of the film in my room. It's a classic and deserved a sequel back in the late 80s.

I wish I could say I've seen any of them besides Expendables III

which I only saw because my friends took me, and I thought it was a Disney film

Does anyone here dislike him? I didn't know that LOL. I think that Rocky 1-6 are his best movies. I loved all of them. The first Expendables was okay, never saw the sequel, whilst 3 was kinda shit.

Arnie is my main 80s action guy meanwhile, whilst Dwanye Johnson has become a big favourite recently too. Honestly I've not ever seen The Rock in a bad movie. I can't pick my favourite of his either, but it might be Rampage by a small margin. You've got Naomie Harris, one of the most gorgeous babes (and a really nice person too.) And unbelievably kickass giant monster action. To be honest I enjoyed it a lot more than most recent Godzilla movies, apart from Godzilla vs Kong.

My only beef with the Rock is that he does too many LOL. He has like 15 sequels in stages of development.

Then there is obviously big Gina! I also always thought Van Damme was a bit underrated. Saw two of his over Christmas this year. The Quest which is honestly one of the best martial arts movies of all time and Double Team, which is like some weird mix of an Arnie movie, a Bruce Lee movie and the Prisoner, if such a thing were possible LOL.

Steven Segal meanwhile, sorry could never get into him. Saw one with Alison King because it had Alison King. I'd watch a Chibnall scripted drama if she was in it LOL, but that's pretty much my only exposure to him.

Double Team is awesome. I love the suspense when he attempts to escape from the island and also the humour with Dennis Rodman. You might enjoy Knock Off starring Van Damme from the same director. That one is insane.

Early 90s Seagal is good. Pretty much everything he did after 2001 is complete trash including the Alison King movie you mentioned. The Under Siege movies from the 90s are very good, though.

I don't think anyone dislikes Stallone here, but Ian's not a fan and Rob doesn't sound like one either. I've always liked him myself. I'm not huge on Arnie but I think Predator is great.

I like E3 for Ronda Rousey. Man, I'd love to see a fight between her and Gina. I'd be cheering on Ronda. Burrunjor would obviously be in Gina's corner.

Obviously! 

Rousey recently said she'd come back for a fight with Gina as Gina was her mentor. Gina also said she would like to come back at some point as her last fight was her first and only loss, so you may get your wish one day.

Ronda is sexy meanwhile. How could she not be, being an MMA fighter LOL. 

I haven't seen many of her films, but I did love this fight in the Fast and the Furious with her and Michelle Rodriguez (another absolute babe!)

I wouldn't say I "dislike" him, but I'm not a big Stallone fan. Far prefer Arnie, not just in terms of his screen persona but just the movies too, most of which are all faves of mine.
The best Stallone is probably Rocky IV.

I still think Cobra was a great slasher film posing as an action movie. It gets extra points for taking place at Christmas as well. I get turned on by both Pepsi and Neon so imagine the absolute rager I got when I saw this:

The original Rambo? His breakdown at the end is legit great acting

Rocky, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky Balboa, Cobra, Over the Top, Assassins, Tango & Cash, Expendables 2, First Blood and Oscar.
