Stallone knocked out on 'Rocky' set
Dec 21, 2005, 13:37 GMT
Sylvester Stallone was rushed to hospital after he was knocked unconscious on the set of new Rocky movie 'Rocky Balboa'.
The film crew initially failed to call emergency services thinking the Hollywood legend - who had suffered a vicious blow to the head in the ring - was still acting.
Stallone's mother Jackie said: 'At first everyone thought Sylvester was acting when he fell to the floor, but it was serious. 'Fortunately he has recovered now.' Filming began in Nevada earlier this month. Stallone shot scenes in the ring just before the middleweight World Title clash between boxers Jermain Taylor and Bernard Hopkins. The ageing actor was desperate to make the new Rocky film after people said he was too old to revive the role. He said: 'It's all going to be about the message and the scepticism. 'Because when you reach a certain age people become sceptical about what you can do. 'You may not have the skill but you have the will and that can drive you through.'Copyright 2005 BANG Media International

rocky !! rocky !!! rocky !!!! rocky rocky rocky it dosent get better than the itallion stallion rocky balboa
ROCKY es una de las mejores peliculas que haya visto y el saber que estan filmando la 6ta es bueno, solo queda esperar el estreno para ir a verla al cine, żno lo creen?
tru tru, this really was a great movie. there's always critics, but this is definitely a must see. believe that.
That movie was great!!! Ive seen all the rocky movies but this was the only one ive seen in the theater... I loved the fight sceen.. and the message of the whole movie is so inspirational to me ( who feels like a underdog alot) and its a good ending to a great saga...im glad this one was made cause rocky 5 sucked.
Hey Steve-0, 'Rocky Balboa' has made over $52,000,000 so far. Who's laughing all the way to the bank? His name is Sly NOT Steve-0.
$53,642,534 to be exact. It has already DOUBLED its budget of $24,000,000 so I would say this last Rocky is a great success. Its still got a couple of months in theaters an then there's DVD sales, rentals, TV rights, etc.... this thing is going to make a lot more money!
the movie sucked
I SEEN ALL ROCKY MOVIES AND THERE GREAT
Rocky is the best movies ever shut up
