🥊 Mike & Stacy finally return after a month long summer break. After a quick catch-up, we get right into the latest Stallone news including a fun little factoid from 1978.
• Can you name Sly's first directoral debut?
• Do you know how this movie is "advertised" in Rocky II?
• Why should any Rocky fan care about the Datsun Turbo ZX? (Only MIKE would catch this itsy-bitsy detail!)
🤔 What sort of question could possibly illicit a 15 minute response from Sly? This thought provoking question from Mike, truly required Sly to self-reflect, contemplate and dig-deep. The Rocky Files is so proud to feature this window into the heart, soul and mind of the greatest actor, writer and director of ALL TIME! Thank you SLY for sending this beautiful message our way... it's your birthday however we received the gift! We greatly appreciate the TIME and THOUGHTFULNESS you poured into this very special message!
