Sylvester Stallone Takes Fans on Nostalgic Ride with Unseen Photo from ‘The Lords of Flatbush’ Set

Sylvester Stallone is a well-known American filmmaker and actor. Initially, after arriving in New York City, Stallone faced some challenges on his way to becoming an actor. Nevertheless, his breakthrough came when he received recognition for his role as Stanley Rosiello in the movie ‘The Lords of Flatbush’. The beginning of his career was filled with minor roles in high-budget films. However, slowly with time, he began to land important roles in films. His biggest break came in 1976 when he wrote and played the lead character of Rocky Balboa in the movie Rocky.

The Rocky series proved to be a massive success, with Rocky portrayed as a boxer who defeated numerous tough opponents and won the world heavyweight championship twice. Stallone recently sent his fans back on a nostalgia ride after he shared an old never before seen photo. The post showed him and Henry Winkler, playing around in the set of ‘The Lords of Flatbush’. Through the picture, we can see how much fun both these men had with each other.

Sylvester Stallone recently shared an unseen photograph on social media featuring himself and fellow actor Henry Winkler. The picture was from the set of the film ‘The Lords of Flatbush’. In the picture, the two actors are seen ‘fooling around’ during a break from filming. In the post, Stallone shared, “I think I have a strong feeling I am going to work with HENRY THE GREAT pretty soon!“.

The movie “The Lords of Flatbush” was released in 1974, depicting the lives of rebellious youth residing in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. The film showcases their signature style, complete with leather jackets and a penchant for getting into trouble.

Directed by Martin Davidson, it was one of several cultural phenomena that rekindled interest in the 1950s aesthetic during the 1970s. Along with the popular musical “Grease,” the television series “Happy Days,” and the band “Sha-Na-Na,” “The Lords of Flatbush” helped to bring the retro style back into the mainstream.

Sylvester Stallone departs the expendables franchise after the fourth installment

Sylvester Stallone has recently announced his departure from ‘The Expendables’ franchise after the fourth movie.
This move could potentially prove beneficial for him, as it frees him from any further obligations to the classic franchise. Stallone’s career had hit a rough patch in the mid-90s, but he made a comeback with Rocky Balboa in 2006.

His major franchises like Rocky, Rambo, and The Expendables have not only delivered box-office success but also allowed him to pursue other projects, including Grudge Match. With the release of Rambo: Last Blood in 2019, Stallone gave the iconic character a poignant farewell.

He is set to make a cameo appearance as Stakar Ogord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. But beyond that, he has no further franchise commitments in the near future.
