Tom at TV Over Mind came up with a list of Five Underrated Acting Scenes from Sylvester Stallone<\/a>.  While the list or the presentation isn’t the best. (The used the photo above for heading <I added the text for my post> and it isn’t their number one choice.  Also some of the example that they picked were not the best choices for Sly most underrated acting scenes.  With that said, using just his top five, I’ll rank those same picks and then give you what I think are some much better choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Talking to Adonis in <\/span>Creed II<\/i><\/span> during the fight<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

5. The final fight in <\/span>Rocky V<\/i><\/span>: Since this is more of a physical scene than an \u201cacting\u201d scene I rated it lower. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

4. The final fight in <\/span>Rocky V<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

4. The atrium scene in <\/span>Oscar<\/i><\/span>: Oscar is underrated. Sly’s performance is good but there are many scenes in other movies that should have made the grade.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

3. The atrium scene in <\/span>Oscar<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

3. Talking to Adonis in <\/span>Creed II<\/i><\/span> during the fight: Sly has better scenes in <\/span>Creed II<\/i><\/span> than this one.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

2. PTSD scene in <\/span>Rambo: First Blood<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

2. The <\/span>Rocky Balboa <\/i><\/span>speech: This is a good choice and it became so popular I can see why Tom listed it in his first spot.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

1. The<\/span> Rocky Balboa <\/i><\/span>speech<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

1. PTSD scene in <\/span>Rambo: First Blood<\/i><\/span>: Sly gives a classic performance and shows that Rambo isn’t all blood and guts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Other scenes that should have made the cut:<\/p>\n

Rocky: <\/em><\/strong>So many to choose, but since I am going to limit it to one from each additional film, I’ll go with the scene where Rocky tells Adrian if he is just standing when the final bell sounds…<\/p>\n

FIST<\/strong><\/em>: Again many to choose from, but this time I’ll go with the scene where Sly is talking to the men about the trucker that was hurt and although the company won’t take care of him., their union will.<\/p>\n

Rocky III<\/strong><\/em>: The scene on the beach with Talia Shire where she asks Rocky what he’s afraid of and he answers…<\/p>\n

Cop Land<\/strong><\/em>: So many great scenes… For me it is a toss up between Sly’s scene with Annabella Sciorra or his scene with DeNiro.<\/p>\n

Get Carter<\/strong><\/em>: Sly’s rooftop scene with Rachel Leigh Cook is one of his best.<\/p>\n

Rocky Balboa: <\/strong>Any scene where he is talking about Adrian.<\/p>\n

Creed: <\/strong>The scene in the locker room when Rocky explains to Creed why he isn’t going to get treatment for his cancer.  One of Sly’s all-time best scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
