Sylvester Stallone thinks THIS movie from his catalog has aged the best
When you think Sylvester Stallone, you think Rocky or Rambo, right?
But if you ask Sly himself which movie of his he thinks has held up the best over time, you’d get a surprising answer.
Stallone looked back on his career with GQ in a recent interview, and settled on his 1993 sci-fi action film “Demolition Man” as the one that’s stood the test of time.
"I think it was a great movie. It's one of the few films that really [holds] up, and it is almost close to happening," he said in the video, referring to the futuristic world depicted in the movie, adding, “[It's] the gentle-ization of society, everything's so meek.”
In “Demolition Man,” Stallone plays Det. John Spartan, who is released from a suspended-animation prison, CryoPrison, in 2032 to catch an old and violent enemy called Simon Snipes (played by Wesley Snipes) - the psychopathic killer who was incarcerated with him.
"I thought it was just very, very contemporary. I thought it was really well done,” the “Expendables” star said.
Stallone also praised Snipes for creating a "very memorable" villain in the movie.
"Wesley was wild. He's a wild man, very energetic, good fighter. When we were doing kicks, there were some of these, like a plate here, so he could really lay into me, and I could feel it, and it was good,” he said. "But Wesley, he really dug down there and gave a very memorable character. [He did] things with his hair and his voice, and he was good.
Stallone added, “He was at the top of his game then."
The 79-year-old thanked the production team of the Marco Brambilla-directed movie, while reminiscing about the "two most dangerous stunts" he's "ever done."
In one scene, his character was grabbed by a massive metal claw, which spun the actor around.
"That giant claw, sometimes the hydraulics would go sideways, and the strength of those metal claws would tear you up,” he recalled.
The other tricky scene was when his character was being frozen for the future.
"When they froze me originally, they put me in this round tub, thick plexiglass, you couldn't break it with a sledgehammer,” he explained. "And they started pouring in warm oil, and it's filling up, filling up to [my mouth] If it goes longer than 30 seconds, it's gonna go to [above my nose], and you can't get out 'cause the lid was bolted on.”
He continued, "I had a couple of fellas that were sitting there with sledgehammers and hatchets. And I go, now that the scene was over, 'Why don't you try to open it?' And, of course, they hit it 20 times, couldn't crack it. So that was crazy."
