Hot Guys with Guns: Sylvester Stallone
I’ve been a fan of Sly’s since I was a kid. I’ve loved all his movies over the years. As I grew up, I learned his story and came to really respect his level of motivation and business savvy.
In addition to business savvy, he’s got a hell of a work ethic. You can’t get the kind of body he has showed off in his movies without a tremendous amount of dedication and the ability to show up, day after day, at the gym. Nobody can deny that Stallone brings it to every movie he makes.
Once again, Stallone has created a winning franchise. This time, it’s the Expendables.
Things weren’t looking good for action movies when Stallone dreamed up The Expendables. Action movies had taken on a more thoughtful, cerebral tone and people like me, who just wanted a good story with lots of physical action from believable actors were starving.
Enter, Barney Ross and his band of Expendables, the ass kicking, spinning-back-kicking, machine-gun-toting, monsters-from-your-nightmares, cage-match-fighting, stars from the 80’s and the toughest band of muscle he could muster today.
You got chills too, right?

I was in college when they released Rocky, so Sly and i have sort of matured together… but I’ve gotta admit he looks a whole lot better more than 35 years later than I do.
Thanks for my Friday pick me up.
