13 Latest Movies of Sylvester Stallone

Written by Gerryaldo

When we think of Sylvester Stallone, we think of two Hollywood icons: Rocky and Rambo. These two characters made Stallone a household name in Hollywood and the world.

Born in New York City on July 6, 1946, Stallone, of Italian descent, began his film career as an extra in various movies and TV shows. He gained fame with "Rocky" in 1976, a film he wrote himself.

In the early 2000s, Stallone's career suffered due to poor film choices. He took a break from acting before making a comeback with "Rocky Balboa" in 2006 and "Rambo" in 2008. These successful films revived his career and solidified his status as a top Hollywood actor.

Out of Stallone's over 60 films, we've selected his 13 latest movies as this Hollywood Action Movie Icon!
