Sylvester StalloneGUEST
And [laughs] they said, "Never," basically, "Over our dead body." They said, "You have no cred, you have no this." And I really did have very little experience, like in The Lords of Flatbush with Henry Winkler, who I still talk about.
Sylvester StalloneGUEST
But I totally understand what they were, were-
Gayle KingHOST
But look at the names they had, that wanted to play.
Angel RiveraHOST
Wow.
Angel RiveraHOST
A long-standing Hollywood rumor suggests the story was started by Sylvester Stallone in retaliation for a 1974 on-set fallout during the filming of The Lords of Flatbush, where Gere was fired after an argument involving a spilled meal in a car.
Angel RiveraHOST
Stallone has denied starting the rumor, but we know what that means.
Angel RiveraHOST
You know, you

Paying millions to simulate a marriage

And finally, Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere having a physical altercation on the Lords of Flatbush set over mustard dripping onto someone's pants
speaker_2HOST
Brawling over a condiment
speaker_1HOST
You're telling me we just talked about lizard men and zombie romance, but real life Hollywood features Michael Douglas funding college with 200 pounds of weed and TLC paying millions to fake a marriage?
Ryan BaileyHOST
And you even go through his career.
Ryan BaileyHOST
I love the aspect of this, of bringing of like, was it Sly- Sly Stallone that put this rumor out? And he actually talks about this on The Stern Show, and he actually clarifies, "No, no, I, I didn't do this, but maybe people think because of Lords of Flatbush, we were both in this movie." I love all of these different stones you're unturning.
Ryan BaileyHOST
But that it was like, "Oh, that'd be pretty funny, Sly, if you actually put that out there 'cause you were-
Allen SalkinGUEST
Sure
Ryan BaileyHOST
Oh
Allen SalkinGUEST
... re- he revisits this, not...
Allen SalkinGUEST
Doesn't talk, as far as I know, he doesn't talk about the gerbil, but he talks about his fight with Gere on the set of Lords of Flatbush, and there's even more that, now that I realize how many people, um, believe the Stallone version, it keeps coming up in comments, because there was a little more that I cut out where there was supposedly a fight.
Allen SalkinGUEST
Elton John talks about it in his memoir-

speaker_3UNKNOWN
[clapping]
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ah.
Sylvester StalloneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I, right away the guy goes, "Yeah, you know." There, someone in the audience, it was just nothing, it was just helping a guy audition.
Sylvester StalloneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then, uh, the, someone in the audience decided he's gonna write Lords of Flatbush.
Sylvester StalloneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He goes, "I remember that guy that helped." So he tried to track me down, and I had no phone, I had no address, no nothing.
Sylvester StalloneGUEST
Just lock the door and, and no...
Sylvester StalloneGUEST
And literally, it was so interesting because, uh, when I got the Lords of Flatbush, which I didn't expect to get, someone had seen... [audience cheers] Oh, thank you.
Sylvester StalloneGUEST
This is, this is why you should always grab every opportunity you can because you never know how it's gonna branch off and come back to you.
Sylvester StalloneGUEST
I've got stories forever about this, like with Mr. T and everything, it's years later.
Zohran MamdaniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Cecily KnoblerHOST
Yes.
Stefanie Wilder TaylorHOST
So apparently this is a fight that he had with Richard Gere on the set of The Lords of Flatbush.
Stefanie Wilder TaylorHOST

Stefanie Wilder TaylorHOST
This was from 1974 though, but I guess this is a-
RussellHOST
Famous scene.
LisaHOST
Sly's recalled a feud with Richard Gere that escalated into a physical brawl on the 1974 film, The Lords of Flatbush.
LisaHOST
Apparently, their animosity was born during the auditions when an ad lib session with Gere went so p- pear-shaped that Stallone threatened to knock his teeth out.
LisaHOST
When shooting began, things deteriorated even further to the point where a fight broke out between the pair of them over lunch.
LisaHOST
Sly says it was clear to everyone this wasn't working.
LisaHOST
One of us had to go.
LisaHOST
Can't say I've ever actually heard of the movie, The Lords of Flatbush, but Henry Winkler was in it, too.
RussellHOST
Oh, was he?
