Sly Combo: Going A Few Rounds With 3 Of Stallone’s Best

[@waverlyking6045]

He’s closing in on 80 and still putting out great work. Watch Tulsa King.

[@LightgunLegends]

Watched Cobra twice😮 Watched Over The Top hundreds of time❤

[@mattwillow7]

Tango&Cash is my guilty pleasure, awesome '80s action movie

[@DNOstalgia]

Stallone Rules Man! Loved ALL of this classics!

[@magnificus8581]

A classmate at the small, private Christian school I attended at 13 years old when Over the Top came out was a close relative of Bruce "The Animal" Way, one of the competitors. He invited The Animal to visit and he told about his experiences on the film, but the awesome part was he brought in the arm wrestling table and let everyone use it who wanted - it was awesome! Kids were arm wrestling all day long on that. One of my best memories from jr. high!

[@williamshaw9047]

He's been organizing arm wrestling contests for the military for years.

[@magnificus8581]

@@williamshaw9047 that's awesome, seemed like a good guy

[@losrajvosa0078]

Sly is simply the best.

[@Johnny82Utah]

Just bought Over the top and Cobra on blu-ray, over the top was one of my favorites as a kid, I didn't live with my father but remember vividly visiting him one time and watching it over the top.Tango and cash never gets old, buddy cop perfected.

[@Superbokka]

Yes I'm a huge Cobra aficionado too. I can't walk past a supermarket Walkie Talkie system without wanting to grab it and say "Hey Dirtbag, You're a lousy shot, I hate lousy shots, You wasted a kid for nothing, Now I think it's time to waste you".

[@STONESGAM]

Cobra and Over the Top was truly when Stallone was in his prime and on top of the world. Who else could get a big budget film about arm wrestling green lit? And Cobra is just so awesome. It's this weird mix of a Dirty Harry esque buddy cop film crossed with an 80's style slasher film. It's my favorite midnight type movie to throw on late on a Saturday night when I don't know what to watch. His character was so cool too. My only complaint is I heard they cut a lot of scenes and I feel like it was a little too short. I wanted more. It's the one Stallone movie that should have gotten a sequel but never did. Would love it if they released a Cobra extended edition.

[@EntretenimientoConPerspectiva]

3 golden.Stallone gemms never ever gorgotten. ❤Love them

[@HowardDaduk]

The most badass thing that Stallone did on film was in Cobra, when he cut the slice of pizza with scissors

[@laurarules3642]

its been years since I watched that movie but I believe in the same scene he takes his gun out of its holster twice and puts it on the table. I always remember that error when I first watched it on VHS

[@willshaw3493]

Don't forget that a) he froze an already cooked pizza, and b) he ate that pizza without heating it back up. Oh yeah, and he subscribes to the local paper so he can throw it on his barbecue pit every day. This is supposed to show that Cobra is cynical and views the media as bullshit, but this attempt at character is ruined when in the next scene he's instead watching the TV news while cleaning his gun.

[@negativeindustrial]

He kept his gun cleaning kit in an otherwise empty egg carton in the refrigerator, as well. 😂

[@strengthcoachlondon]

Over the Top was filmed at an Armwrestling tournament that was put on specifically for the film. They had qualifying events all over the world culminating in the event at the end of the show. As you said John Brzenk was there and he genuinely won the truck in the film, other world champion armwrestlers that were there were Johnny Walker, Cleve Dean (two of the action figures you showed) and Allen Fisher.

[@williamshaw9047]

I always thought "Are armwrestling and truck driving that linked that a brand new semi would be something your typical contestant would want?"

[@asifkhan4822]

These are 3 of Stallone’s best non Rocky/Rambo 🍿 Movies. Tango & Cash is my personal favourite of the 3 as Sly and Kurt Russell make a really great pair (especially as it originally was supposed to be the first onscreen pairing of Arnold Schwarzenegger with Sylvester Stallone). It also created the classic onscreen line “Fubar” which Annie recently used for his recent Netflix series.😊

[@andrewgroves3601]

Over The Top is the greatest arm wrestling film of all time.

[@jamesmorant1406]

80s was Stallone best decade when it came to his movie's

[@laurarules3642]

I really think him and Arnie dropped the ball when they did the major u-turn and went from starring in violent high octane action films with sky high body counts to doing comedies . I know a lot of people enjoy the comedies they did but there core audience liked the action movies and Sly and Arnie truly believed they were such superstars that the fans would just follow them in any direction . I basically stopped watching their movies when they went to comedy and their careers never reached those highs ever again. I would rather have another cult classic like Tango & Cash or Predator than Stop or my Mom will shoot or Jingle all the way

[@jamesmorant1406]

@laurarules3642 Arnold can do Comedy Twins Kindergarten Cop we're both big hits

[@meowmeow5131]

@@jamesmorant1406they were hits but I would much rather have an Arnold action film than either of those. I watched Twins for the first time last week. It had som charm but I didn’t find it very funny.

[@jamesmorant1406]

@meowmeow5131 I like it when Arnold does Comedy change in pace for him

[@Al_NERi]

Agree for sure. Fortunately he did have one great 90s role in him for Copland (97). I miss when Stallone was more willing to take risky roles. That is, Non Comedic risky roles.

[@shanewoods1980]

“You’re a disease, and I’m the cure” I still say to my youngest son before I jump on his bed and start tickling the crap out of him. He’s at the age where parents aren’t cool, and the lines I quote to him I honestly hope he’ll figure out one day. Love cobra!!

[@divinedelaware7541]

Loved over the top as a kid. Great movie

[@jamesriegel13]

I love all of these movies and I have all of them in my collection

[@katemaloney4296]

I saw 'Tango & Cash' when it came out in theatres, and I love it! I could watch it once a week and never ger tired of it. The chemistry was off the charts for Sly and Kurt and I wish they had done a sequel. That said, I also really like 'Lock-up', too. But I like dark action-thrillers.

[@bradenarbogast4382]

I actually really like Over the Top! Watched it numerous times. And in fact I can't wait to watch it again!

[@williamroberts4049]

Cobra and that bad ass Mercury 😊 1950 I believe

[@davidcurry332]

Didn’t even know they had toys from over the top. I think I’ve seen part of it I didn’t even know they had toy from that. Wow you learn something every day.😮

[@kuba2559]

When I was a kid I've seen Tango and Cash 4 times on VHS

[@grapelund]

Tango and Cash is gold !!! But I love it for Jack Palance. He cracked me and my friends up almost every scene he’s in!!😂😂

[@mikeleeder]

Love it and i too burst into FEEL THE HEAT moments, big fan of COBRA who had the longcoat the match and the Sunglasses first, Stallone in this of CYF in Better Tomorrow eh? OVER THE TOP i hated at the time, but revisited a while back and far more fun than i remembered....and ah TANGO AND CASH great fun but so much BTS madness......

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

Sylvester Stallone Is The Man! 👊✊😊👍👌😆🎄⛄🎅

[@fox-jake8784]

Cobra and Tango & Cash have always been my favorite Stallone vehicles. Cobra seems like a cheesy 80s knock off of Dirty Harry mixed with the slasher genre, but I like it for what it is. (Plus I wish they made an airsoft gun replica of his Colt Gold Cup 1911 pistol, honestly) Tango & Cash is a cool comic book style buddy cop flick and a great way to close out the 80s too. Its like what happens when you take a B movie but you give it a $50 million budget, cast some of the best action stars and a perfect over the top cartoon villain.

[@EntretenimientoConPerspectiva]

Want a sequel of Cobra and Tango and Cash so Let s push sly on his social media

[@AshGCG]

I was a VHS absorbing child/teen in the 80's and enjoyed, collected, and still own, in one format or another, all of these films. When it comes to Oscar and Stop! however . . . I don't think I've even actually seen them them. Certainly aren't on any of my shelves. And there I was thinking I was a completist! ha ha

[@sunnyjohnson992]

Call the Cobra! 🐍

[@jasonaugustine3370]

A very little known movie that Stallone was in was called Paradise Alley

[@williamshaw9047]

That's a big favorite of Quentin Tarantino's. He writes about it in his new book and said he used to have the poster in his bedroom.

[@magnificus8581]

Cobra and Sledge Hammer should have teamed up for a buddy movie

[@robertcatania1120]

sometimes movies are just supposed to entertain you and make you feel good after watching them. Is "Over the Top" a masterpiece of theater arts? Of course not, but it's a feel-good action movie, with heartfelt moments, a killer soundtrack, and a thrilling moments throughout. Is it cheesy 80s goodness? Absolutely...and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's endlessly re-watchable, to me that makes it a good movie despite what the critics and box office says.

[@justinkassinger8238]

The knight slashers squeeze was in dirty harry too. One of the chicks with the knight slashers was, I know that

[@johnberry5296]

Good work! I don’t even like Stallone but your video was so well done I watched to the end.

U don't like Stallone Wow okay

I loved Over The Top.

[@laurarules3642]

[@raystewart3648]

COBRA DELETED SCENE - The Lift Scene was in the UK Version as far as I can remember. Why was it deleted in the US Version?

[@Habu12]

You forgot the iconic "finger roll" in Over The Top!

[@strengthcoachlondon]

That's called a Top roll. Hence the name of the film.

[@IFEGRIZZLY]

I cut pizza with scissors because of this movie

[@jonathanfeldheim6554]

CB, my kindred Canadian spirit--Brian James was doing a cockney accent? What was his natural accent? He wasn't Australian?

everything stallone ever did was absolutely perfect, according to this channel lol

So 3 films, and “everything was absolutely perfect”?? Oooooookkkkkkk

[@Dorkster81]

They should do another over the top Especially now with that one famous trash talking arm wrestler be so fun

[@willshaw3493]

I like how Stallone plays his usual humble soft-spoken character in the interview sequences whilst the other wrestlers are all loudmouth trash talkers bragging about how great they are or how much they like hurting people.

[@gawaniwhitecrow2731]

Daym 😂 you can't represent with that title and make me not watch 🙏🏽 Good work

[@Abcdee8]

So stallone was terminator with john waynes rel name?

[@MichaelAlderton]

Cobra was kinda Cool could have been a another good franchise over the top had it's moments not a perfect movie but ok tango &Cash always enjoyed and still do haven't watched it in a while the 80s where a good time at the theater then un like today

[@edwardleonetti2492]

Hey there's Poppy in Cobra but in this film like in Seinfeld, Poppys a bit sloppy lol

[@willshaw3493]

The supermarket killer from the first scene of the film was one of the Cubans Kramer hired to roll cigars.

[@willshaw3493]

We all made fun of the kid in Over the Top because he was always crying. However, what would you do if your dad played a mean trick like that on you...took you to a diner and without saying anything to you beforehand, challenged a bigger kid to arm wrestle you for money?

[@jasonaugustine3370]

It is foreshadowing for the incredible speech given to his son in Rocky Balboa. He should have won an Oscar for that film

[@lexkanyima2195]

Why ?

[@MrScratch69]

Cobra was an entertaining movie to watch with friends over drinks. Stallone missed his calling as a mumble rapper lol.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

👍👍👍🎥

[@wayhollobj36]

Dude I love 💕 your videos But saying Over the Top is kind of a classic?? Seriously 😳 The child actor alone is brutal I don't hate it But if I never see it again I'll be relieved

[@Al_NERi]

Imo Stallone's most overlooked/underrated film of this period is the excellent Nighthawks (81 )with Sly as somewhat burned out NYC undercover robbery division detective Deke DaSilva drafted reluctantly into a fed task force to take down master terrorist Wulfgar (Rutger Hauer) on a NYC rampage. Great supporting cast: Billy Dee Williams, Nigel Davenport, Joe Spinnel, Persis Khambatta. I wish Nighthawks was better known. Of course I love Cobra too, it really is an excellent action thriller.

[@sisterspoof23]

i liked over the top idc how ridiculous the plot was

[@loonz1969]

Holy crap! This is sad if you think these are three of his best films...😢

[@thespicemelange.1]

Stop or my mom will shoot was funny, if you were a kid, as an adult it was pretty shit.

Cobra was AWFUL! You have to have à plot to have holes in It Made no sense Stalone himself said it was ruined in editing
