Sage Stallone

Four of the five.

So Grindhouse Releasings is a company co-founded by Sage Stallone, which was Rocky's son.

Rest in peace.

And it's a company now led by, I believe, Bob Mirowski, who's an editor and Oscar winner.

So yeah, Stallone ended up being in the movie instead.

And also Sage Stallone, Stallone's son is in this movie as well.

He's like one of the juvenile teens who is also Stallone's son in Rocky V.

He played, yeah, the kid in Rocky V.

The more you know.

Yeah, he grows out to be Milo Ventimiglia in Rocky Balboa, but in Rocky V, he's Sage Stallone.

If only we could all grow up and be Milo Ventimiglia.

I think that's interesting, too, because, like, Stallone versus Cage there, like, Stallone's character age, like, lends a believability to the, like, he's sort of over the hill, been ousted over this scandal where he made the wrong call and people died and all that.

And that just builds on itself.

Then I also, and this is kind of a dark thought, but as the years went by and Sage Stallone passes away, Stallone himself probably looks back at that movie and it's almost having to look at the son that you lost for

two

hours and Yeah.

We wouldn't have had the milk money being stolen from Robert's scenes, though.

No, we still would have gotten those because now Robert has gone from five years being in a private school, terrible school.

It would be a greater contrast because now we'd be meeting Sage Stallone, playing him for the first time as someone who was even more fish out of water.

He had been affluent for longer in his own mind.

In this podcast, for each episode, I invite a guest to join me to discuss a movie that has boxing as a theme.

The film up for discussion today is Rocky V, the film that Sylvester Stallone originally intended to be the last of the Rocky series.

Joining me to discuss the movie is returning guest Andrew Rine.

Andrew is a multi-genre boxing writer.

ago now.

Uh, they went back to the original director, John G. Appleton, who did the original Rocky film from 76.

Obviously it, uh, stars Sylvester Stallone and was written by him as well.

Most of the returning cast are back.

Very sad story.

I seen Sage Stallone there also this last time.

Sly's son.

also in the same cemetery.
