Sylvester Stallone admits he has starred in some terrible films.
The 'Rocky Balboa' actor - who has starred in several box office flops, including 'Judge Dredd', 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' and 'Oscar' - says he looks back on some of his previous movies and cringes.
He said: "I've made a few bad decisions. There are certain things you think will work but they don't. I've had my good moments, but I've had some bad ones as well.
The 60-year-old star also admits he feels out of touch with the current crop of actors and feels Hollywood has moved in a direction that is alien to him.
Stallone said: "The film business has changed, radically. It's a whole different planet now. It's much more of a business. I'm just not of that generation. I'm part of a different era, the 80s uber-action movie, the kind of one-man army movie that started with 'First Blood'. The era of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. Now that era has gone."

He went to Hollywood, rode a script he developed and made himself famous. His movies made money, regardless of their artistic content, and were entertaining, something that a whole lot of movies made cannot claim.
He was his generations John Wayne, playing himself. People will go to see a good actor, or maybe not, if the script, direction, etc., is good, but people went to see Stallone, Eastwood, Connery, and the others because THEY were in it.
I actually enjoyed 'Oscar'. I thought it was funny and well-paced. I guess I'm the only one.
