Ok let's do Stallone now

Stallone did write Rocky.

It follows the tone of the novel closely,

ahh ok

The novel is quite different to the movie,

damn you, your children, and your children's children to hell

Well, the overall tone and mood of the movie is quite similar to the book, even though specific aspects of the story were changed to be quite different. I should have made that clearer.

Stallone did write Rocky.

Which is better written than the First Blood screenplay anyway.

That said, do I think Stallone could do an entire movie in a foreign language? Much less have an entire career of movies not in his native tongue? No, I do not.

Also, Arnie can do comedy, Stallone cannot. Movies like Kindergarten Cop or Twins may not hold up today, but people thought they were funny at the time. STOP, OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT was never thought funny by anyone, anywhere.

To go off on a tangent, I know the guy who played the villain in Kindergarten Cop. He is my old football and track coach's brother.

I do not remember one second of Oscar. To be fair, Twins is a bit of a blur now, too. But I got nothing for Oscar.

I bet if Stallone ever watches this movie, he always cringes when Rambo says, "You just don't turn it off," instead of saying, "You don't just turn it off," like he meant to. Amazing nobody caught that at the time. Or maybe none of his other takes were as good, and the director just said fuck it.

It was around the same time when Capcom, Konami and Midway started dropping top tier games as well, remember?

durr hurr hurr

All bs aside. First Blood and Rocky are Stallone's best movies. His other movies were the same script regurgitated again and again - which still lead to great movies.
