Maybe now, but not when Sly was younger. I can definitely hear the similarities though.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Vin Diesel has the voice f a 73 year old man.

Come on! We need Rambo music in the trailer...Stallone should know better. The Soundtrack is just as important as his character.

Stallone probably has little to no say in the trailers, studious often even outsource these things, they send footage to a third party whose job is trailer production. Rambo 4 didn't feature Rambo music in it's marketing either, and to some extent, that had me nervous, but with Brian Tyler returning to score, I'm sure the movie itself will sound typical Rambo, and we should probably see that available by mid-September, week before film release at the latest.

Stallone really wants to be a bronze statue.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He looks good, but still...

 

[snoop101]

All of those posters are awful.

Is FIM a brand of steroid? Does look like he ate a lot, along with some FIM brand tanning tablets.

 

[snoop101]

Stallone is starting to look a lot like his mom with all that Botox and botched plastic surgery. He should've left his face alone, Arnold still looks pretty cool considering they're both about the same age.

FB was on and now Part II... two very different movies.

It's funny to watch as Stallone's vanity grows with his height between the two films: in First Blood, he wasn't so concerned with his short stature as he's clearly shorter than Trautman, but then Part II comes on and he's suddenly taller than Trautman.

 

[snoop101]

Idk about that, I think it just depends on the camera angles. Look at this pic, Stallone is closer to the screen and Trautman is still taller.

 

[jye4ever]

It?s amazing how he went from that soft porno and Lords of Salem.....errr I mean Lords of Flatbush to Rocky/Rambo status.

The Coleco Rambo figure's profile card I had when I was a kid said he was 6'1''

You can also see Stallone's vanity affect Rambo's chest and back scars. By Rambo 3, he had no scars on his back and the chest scars were easier on the eyes.

 

[Wor-Gar]

His vanity increased with every sequel he did (in Rocky as well).

He's nowhere near 6'1" in real life. I met him. He had 3 inch heels and he was still 5'9" at best.

I literally just watched them last night. At the end of FB, Stallone looks like a little guy with Trautman. But as soon as Part II starts, they show Stallone walk up to Trautman and he's taller and much bigger. Like he scaled himself up.

I'm sure there's shots (BTS or otherwise) where Stallone's actual height is revealed, but right from the first shot in Part II it was clear they wanted Rambo to appear to be a much larger man (despite later shots the first image sticks).

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can't find a picture of that first shot in II where Rambo walks up to Trautman but here's the closest I could find where they are about the same height -- the very first angle really made Stallone look a little taller.







But here's Stallone at the end of First Blood:







If you watch the two back to back it becomes a lot more apparent.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he said "I'm 5'10" and in a 1993 edition of the New York Times added a fraction, saying "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches", although he once pushed his luck in a 1978 Playboy article claiming to stand "Five feet ten and three quarters tall."

Cinema.com, on meeting him, said "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight", which he even mentioned himself: "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". His footwear has always been a source of contention and in a 1990 Chicago Times article, the journalist mentioned "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist Italian shoemaker once commented that he "made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!". Sly's penchant for lifts dates back to the 1970's, with fellow actor Kevin Conway remarking that Sly was only 5ft 9 and "wears lifts all the time". Sly himself even joked about it once, when commenting upon the size of Rocky IV co-star Dolph Lundgren:"I'm fighting with elevator shoes on, this is ridiculous." There are definitely several tricks to looking taller, one of which was highlighted by Expendables 3 co-star Kelsey Grammar, who said Sly was a great guy, "Except when he changed the camera angle a little bit to make me look shorter."

In the screenwriter William Goldman's book 'About Lies Stars Tell', he offered his own estimation of Sly's stature, saying "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches," revealing his source to be a jogger of similar stature to Sly. Goldman described how he ventured into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and 10 minutes later, "He got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet." That estimate is shared by Hulk Hogan, who casually called Sly "Five Six/Five Seven" and also by an Amateur Boxer who worked on Rocky V, saying he was stunned at the shortness of Stallone and towered above him: "I always pictured him as being a big guy. But I'm 5-foot-9 and I was two-three inches taller than him."

An ex-partner of Sly - Supermodel Janice Dickenson - claimed in her book 'Everything about me is fake' that when Sly was trying to pick her up, she recalled "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also that "I couldn't believe how short he was". Another actress, Melinda Dillon - from F.I.S.T - commented in The Chicago Tribune that "I'm taller than Sly and that bothers him and we kid about it so I take off my shoes in some scenes. I can't slouch or I wouldn't be Anna. She's very upright."

Fellow action stars have even chimed in on his hard-to-pin-down height, most notably Jean Claude Van Damme, who once said "I'm 5-foot-10, a good size for movies. If you're too big a guy, it's hard to find good villains. That's why Stallone always has good villains. He's short."

Yep.

But look closely at that picture of Trautman and Rambo staring at each other through the fence. Eye to eye. Now look at where their boots are relative to each other. You can see the slant on the ground where likely production built up Rambo's side.

Gives new meaning to having the higher ground.
