SYLVESTER STALLONE’S LEGACY

With CREED opening in theatres this week, Sylvester Stallone is basically passing his Rocky-franchise torch to Michael B. Jordan (great choice by the way). Although Stallone reprises his role as Rocky Balboa in this Ryan Coogler directed boxing drama, it will be a supporting role where he trains and mentors Adonis Johnson (Jordan), the ambitious son of his late friendand rival Apollo Creed. So far it’s all good news for Creed as it’s receiving promising reviews, with a rating of 92% (based on 127 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10) on Rotten Tomatoes. The site's consensus reads, “Creed brings the Rocky franchise off the mat for a surprisingly effective seventh round that extends the boxer's saga in interesting new directions while staying true to its classic predecessors' roots.”

Apart from Rocky, Stallone was also recently asked whether who would be his choices to take over his most iconic roles, and here are his picks. Rambo – Ryan Gosling, Cobra – Jake Gyllenhaal, Demolition Man – Channing Tatum, Cliffhanger – Tom Cruise, Over The Top – Dwayne Johnson. With his first two picks, he might just finally make me a fan of full-on action flicks!

Another part of Stallone’s legacy of Rocky is passed on as a musical (yes, it’s unbelievable but it happened!), but the show received mixed reviews and underwhelming office, ultimately forcing ROCKY THE MUSICAL to be closed down after a mere five-month run.
