Stallone's non-service in Vietnam
Sylvester Stallone has made no secret of the fact that, unlike the his character John Rambo, he dodged the draft by spending part of the Vietnam War era as as a skiing instructor at a girls' boarding school in Switzerland. Why is this not mentioned at all?

Anabolic and HGH use - should it be included? I vote yes
Besides the appearance of Stallone being a "juicer" in everyone of his movies, and numerous reports to the effect, the most norotious him being caught in the airport and Australia with HGH, I think this is something that should be included in the article, as it is noteworthy. It has not been just some bs reporter on gawker, this has been on all the major media outlets. Maybe it doesnt belong in the lead, but I think at least some mention, probably a short separate section, would be appropriate.
Here are some examples, which are well sourced:

Pronounciation
Can somebody put the correct pronounciation of his last name as it sounds in English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.46.176.111 (talk) 07:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
In the U.S.A., Stallone's last name is pronounced as sta-LAWN, while the correct Italian pronunciation is sta-LAWN-eh. As an Italian, I think the American pronunciation is a little strange but I noticed that a lot of Italian surnames ending in -one are mispronounced that way in the U.S. (the American pronunciation usually drops the final -e, as if Stallone, for example, was written as Stallon).
- I don't know, I've never heard his name pronounced that way. The way I've always heard is sta-LONE.--Bourbon King (talk) 17:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, sta-LONE (the second part sounding like the English adjective lone) is a common mispronunciation of Stallone's last name in the U.S.A., as it happens with many Italian surnames ending in -one. So, if you're asking for the "correct pronounciation of his last name as it sounds in English", it is sta-LAWN or sta-LONE (at least in the U.S.A.), while the correct pronounciation of his last name as it sounds in Italian is sta-LAWN-eh or sta-LONE-eh: to be honest, I didn't take into account the difference between the sound of -aw- and -o- in English, but in Italian, at least in this case, the vowel -o- sounds much "smaller" than it does in English (exactly in the same way the letter -o- sounds in Spanish, just to make a comparison). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.44.226.168 (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
I have only ever heard his last name pronounced like "sta-LONE", and actually, that is how he pronounces it as well. I'm sure the Italian pronunciation is as you say, and I've little doubt that when the Italian media talks about him, they pronounce his name the "correct" way. But he's always used the "common mispronunciation" of his own last name, and so have interviewers and political pundits like Larry King and Bill O'Reilly. Also, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert pronounced it that way too. My point is- that maybe if enough Americans "mispronounce" his name in that same exact way, at a certain point it is not completely accurate to call it a mispronunciation, especially when Mr. Stallone and his brother Frank Stallone both pronounce the last name that way too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.227.40 (talk) 06:22, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I know Stallone himself pronounces his name that way but, since it is an Italian last name, I can tell you for sure that the Italian pronunciation is different from the American one - even from Stallone's. And you're right, the Italian media pronounce it the correct way when they talk about him, but I guess that such mispronunciations happen with a lot of other people in the States having a non-English surname (not only with Italian-Americans). So in a way you can say that such surnames as Stallone are kind of "Americanized" in the States, if you don't want to call that "mispronunciation". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.0.221.96 (talk) 20:27, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Breton descent
According to the Jackie Stallone page, he is 1/4th Breton (a Celtic ethnic group), rather than generically "French."184.59.7.32 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:32, 25 August 2010 (UTC).
French or breton, she is not jewish
I would like to prove that Stallone's father was born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily before he moved to the U.S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Risk34 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
You can find a wikilink in Stallone's page where he clearly states that his grandfather (not his father) was born in Gioia del Colle, Puglia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsKu6TYaYpM). The piece of information that he's got Sicilian origins from Castellammare del Golfo was going around the internet some years ago and was even published on wikipedia but it was later belied: the video I'm referring to is a clear evidence of all this, at the end of it Stallone even says "I love Gioia del Colle, that's where my family comes from..". There is also another interesting interview that he had in Italy where he says that he was named after his grandfather, Silvestro, they broadcasted here in Italy on Sky channels about one or two years ago but I can't find it anywhere around the internet.. it's just too bad, I would add it on wikipedia myself if I could just get it somewhere! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.211.179.158 (talk) 14:57, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Birthname?
I just heard Sly do an interview for his movie "The Expendables", on Hamish & Andy (who have Frank Stallone Jr in for a concert) where he claimed/admitted that his parents called him Binky before they could come up with a better name. Anyone care about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.178.42.191 (talk) 09:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- There appears to be citation info available on Google if anyone wants to add it.. 5Q5 (talk) 15:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, from the Article that 'All Hallow's Wraith' found it seems that he was called Binky on his Birth Certificate but complained to his Mum when he became school-age because his friends were calling him Stinky (which is quite an obvious nickname if you're called Binky Stallone!) I have updated the article to show this + added the ref. No doubt it will be torn down in the way of wikipedia within days! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparatokos (talk • contribs) 21:21, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Edit request from Aarona1c, 20 January 2011
{{edit semi-protected}}
On the Sylvester Stallone page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_Stallone), can you please make a minor change to the section "Rocky, Rambo and new film roles, 1978–1989"? In the 4th paragraph, 4th sentence, it currently reads, "Three Rambo sequels Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988) and Rambo followed.". Can you change it to read "Three Rambo sequels Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988) and Rambo (2008) followed."? Added was a year following the last sequel, "Rambo", reading "Rambo (2008)".

Recent edit-warring
I have reverted this edit twice now because it makes the claim that: [1] Stallone had his first starring role in the hard core pornography feature film The Party at Kitty and Stud's (1970).
The problem is the claim is uncited and a WP:BLP violation. Further in the actual article of the film the hardcore film claim is called a hoax and it is also cited as to why it is a hoax:
The release campaign implied that the original film was [[hardcore pornography]], but that the material had now been edited into a milder version.<ref>[http://www.mondo-digital.com/sickpicks3.html Mondo Digital's Notes on Digital Sleaze]</ref> However, the truth of this version has been repeatedly challenged, notably by trade journal ''[[AVN (magazine)|AVN]]'', which examined an original print, finding no trace of hardcore scenes.<ref name="ISHoax">[http://business.avn.com/articles/28745.html 'The 'Italian Stallion' Hoax: Stallone Never Did Hardcore]</ref> The "Sylvester Stallone porno movie" evolved over the years into a minor [[urban legend]].<ref>[http://stason.org/TULARC/sex-relationships/sex-movies/23-8-Now-didn-t-Stallone-make-a-porno-A-friend-of-a-friend.htm Now, didn't Stallone make a porno?

Under Filmography
I feel like I'm reading through the specs for the latest release of Windows. Is there possibly a less stupid way to portray the films he's directed, produced, written, and acted in?

Philadelphia
I don't understand why Stallone's ties to Philadelphia are not mentioned in this article.

Different names/nicknames and how he got them
There seems to be a lot of debate and confusion about Sylvester Stallone's name.
He was born Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone. His mother had wanted to name him 'Tyrone' after her favourite movie star at the time, Tyrone Power. Whilst Jaqueline was still in the hospital after the difficult birth, his father Frank registered the birth and chose Sylvester and Gardenzio which were old family names.
The name 'Binky' was just a nickname his mother gave him as a child and is not on his birth certificate.
Sylvester always hated his name at school, and was teased mercilessly. Obvious nicknames of the day were 'Sylvester the Cat' and 'Tweety Pie', which he despised.
When Stallone was enrolled in College in Switzerland by his mother, he decided to avoid these hated nicknames from day one, and to everyone in college (who knew no different) he was known as 'Mike'. This was a name chosen by him to use simply to avoid being teased, and he never used it again.
The name 'Sly' is a kind of shortening of 'Sylvester', and from all the books I've read and interviews I've seen, it seems to have been made up by the man himself. He's referred to himself as 'Sly' from almost the beginning of his career.
Above all, the birth name stated on the main page is inaccurate and should be changed. Any self respecting Stallone fan, knows how he suffered at school because of his unusual name, so if he was born 'Michael', why did he get called Sylvester the Cat?

Height
I could not find sly's height anywhere... FIX! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.139.201 (talk) 06:34, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Is it pertinent to his notability? If you believe it is and you can find a reliable source that gives his height you can add it to the article. GB fan (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know a reliable source, but I do think it is pertinent to his notability because height played a factor in some of his conflicts. For example, Hogan ("Thunderlips") Terry Bollea is billed by WWF as 6'4" and the movie portrayed him as being dramatically taller. AweCo (talk) 17:25, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Years don't add up
This article says that Sly was born in 1946, July, and attended Dade College in 1961. The years don't add up, unless he attended college at 15 or 16 years of age. Many high school students do attend college courses while still in high school, but those are usually students with high grades, and this article sites expulsions, low grades, and a troubled childhood. It seems that either the birth date or the year he started college may be incorrect, or there is a missing, but very interesting part of his story that would tell how he went from troubled student to college student 2 years before peers. Anyone? Doesitmather (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)Does It Math-er?
- I think it was a sentence that was worded wrong. I took the date out as it is not that important, but I believe the 1961 referred to when he attended CMHA. the reference I added had him listed as graduating from there in 1964. GB fan (talk) 00:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I went to college with him 1966-67 at The American College of Switzerland (Leysin, Switzerland), where he was a sophomore. So I don't know where all these stories of college in 1961 or 1964 came from. Incidentally we didn't call him "Sylvester" or "Sly." He was Mike Stallone to us. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJCandito (talk • contribs) 01:39, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Middle name Gardenzio
I've always wondered if Stallone's middle name, Gardenzio, is actually Gaudenzio. First of all, Gardenzio does not exist as a given name in Italy but Gaudenzio does and, since this name was probably taken after some relative in Stallone family (just like Sylvester, from his grandfather Silvestro), I guess that is more likely his middle name. What do you think about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.117.67.26 (talk) 01:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Jewish?
Ignorant question. Of course, he's NOT JEWISH. Not because of "self-identification", but because his father and maternal grandmother were non-jewish. So, as "person with predominate gentile blood" he's NON_JEWISH. (s. "racial theory").Even Gobbels wouldn't consider him as a jew, but as a gentile. Also,jewish (judaistic) laws don't accept him as a jew, because maternal grandmother was non-jew. So, person with jewish grandfather should convert to judaism to become a "jew", "to claim to be a jew" is not acceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrom1234 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
I see a category was just added and deleted about Stallone being a Jewish actor.[4] I followed the matter here from List of Jewish actors, where I politely (I hope) removed Stallone's name. Although self-identification is the only criterion (Jews can deny their Jewishness, and non-Jews can claim to be Jewish), in this case it appears that Stallone was probably unaware of his Jewish ancestry for most of his life, and to date has not identified religiously, ethnically, or culturally as Jewish - hence none of the reasonable criteria are satisfied, except ancestry. The information does appear to be well sourced if not conclusive - his mother made trips to Russia, and found rather solid evidence that her parents were Jewish. Beyond that it's a fascinating story. I think this would merit half a sentence somewhere in this article, cited to the story, that his mother traces her roots to Russian Jewish family that came to America. It's already mentioned I see, but we could potentially expand that by a few words to note his mother's journey of discovery... But I don't think the category is viable. I hope I've got that right :) - Wikidemon (talk) 01:03, 12 June
You must read articles, before you write. "Rambo's jetski": not parents of her mother came (allegedly) from Ukraine, but only her father's parents. Her mother came from Brest, France and was non-jewish. (articles "Jaqulene Stallone" and "Brest Mere"), cross-breed 2 degree is non-jew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.58.126.98 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 30 August 2011

I'm confused. in the offered links it is spoken about Odessa and Ukraine. ...and his mother did her trips to Odessa and not to Russia. can you explain it? (Retro917 (talk) 14:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC))
"Unfortunately, it appears that he's a Jew...if his mom was a jew..." Don't cry, beter read an information. I see, you posted your comment 2012, as an information, that his maternal grandmother was a gentile, appeared in Wikipedia. Even if his mom is partly jew,then from her father, not from her mother side. So, "if her mom wasn't a jew, she's not a jew". (I just quated you)
Unfortunately, it appears that he is a Jew. Whether or not he declares himself to be one or not, if his mom was a Jew he is a Jew. Jewish culture is unlike other cultures in the West (not really a Western culture to begin with, but that is another topic). It is ethnic centered and so individuality is meaningless. His usefulness as a Jew determines whether or not the Jewish community stresses his Jewishness. He can renounce his heritage but in a 100 or more years from now if it is convenient for Jews to make him an icon he will be made one. That's how collectivist thinking works. Even now there are Jews who are certain that Christopher Columbus was a Jew simply because of his significance. If they can reel one in for culture "points" they will. As to "non Jews claiming to be Jewish," I sorry but that statement is incorrect. Perhaps, you are thinking of Islam where all one has to do is declare belief in Allah and that Mohammad was his prophet (or something similar) and BAMBO! you're in, your're a Muslim. Anyway, I'm saddened that he is indeed Jewish up until recently I had admired him very much. I've undergone a lot of "revelations" recently. Apparently, Drake is Jewish too as well as Jenny Lewis. I don't think Jewish people realize how organized they appear to be to the goy who stress individual rather than group preservation. This misunderstanding is the source of all antisemitism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.187.238.14 (talk) 20:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
At 99.187.238.14: First of all it's stupid enough to accept (as a "goi")judaistic laws "if his mom was a jew...". The main thing: why his mother is a then "jew", if her own mother was non-jewish? Where's logic? "Jews are organized", but Stallone surely doesn't belong to their "brotherhood". As quartel-jew he's non-jewish (s. explanation above). He always points his CHRISTINITY in movies and interviews and his ITALIAN descent (has almost always an italian name in his own books), and never makes movies about jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrom1234 (talk • contribs) 19:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC) A little part of jewish genes is not an advantage, but a huge DISADVANTAGE in his case. Sadly, there are a lot of people like 99.187.238.14, who are not able to use their brain and believe all lies, they read
At 184.59.7.32: "to denounce the last poster"... Why you don't denounce jews, who LIE, that Stallone's mother is a jew? It's especially cynical, because appart of that jews would never accept a person with jewish father and non-jewish mother as a "jew". The stupid "runt" shouldn't be deleted, it's a brilliant example, how this lie damages Stallone
I just had to get a word in here to denounce the last poster. Maybe we could delete the antisemitic rant above me?184.59.7.32 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC).
I don't know if there's any source about this around the internet but the reason is quite evident to me. Besides the meaning of the English adjective sly, Sly is a sort of pun of Sylvester Stallone's first name and last name, where letters such as -s- and -l- are very recurrent (there's a sort of alliteration in Stallone's whole name). The nickname is not really about the meaning of the word sly, even though it definitely helped create such a nickname (it's not really a nonsense on the other hand), but it's more about the pun of Sylvester Stallone as a whole name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.6.38.102 (talk) 10:21, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
It was a nickename of afro-american rock-musician Sylvester Stewart.
FYI, that article only says that the great grandmother came from a Jewish family. It says nothing of the great grandfather, thus Stallone's mother may be only a quarter Russian Jewish, which would make him only 1/8...and not even on the mother's complete line. Thus the statement on her being jewish is wrong and irrelevant. The Wikipedia article is jumping to conclusions. I also find it completely irrelevant to state that the mother is half Jewish. Although, it is the paternal great grandmother who is jewish thus this is irrelevant since only the mother's line counts for jewish ancestry. You don't see articles about English actors that say the mother is half German. It's completely irrelevant....and could be construed as racist to be so fixated on the ethnicity. Don't you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ichatterbot (talk • contribs) 21:50, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
- Stallone's maternal grandfather was the son of Charles Labofisz and Rose Lamlec, a pair of Jewish immigrants. This is what the articles on Stallone and his mother say. What else is there? As for English actors, they mention immigrant ancestry any time it is available. No prominent exceptions. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 22:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
1.Jacquline never told, her paternal grandparents were a "pair of jewish immigrants", it's an idea of journalists. Labofitz and Lamlec may be slavic names as well. Besides of that, to have a jewish name is far from being a full jew- see article "ALFRED ROSENBERG". Opposite to you, I read article carefully - mrs. Labofitz was a cousine of some EUDOKIA KRAVTSCHENKO - 100% slavic and ortodox christ name. So, he can really be only 1/8 jewish. Or 1/64. Or not jewish at all. Jacquline said, she doesn't know, where is her father's family from, and never told,that they spoke Yddish, or visited temple. "This is what the articles say. What else is there?"(I quote you)Her father is burried at a municipal, not jewish cemetery.
2.Some sources even LIE, that Stallone mother is a "jew", althouth she's at least 1/2 gentile (proved non-jewish mother) This lie makes the whole thing with jewish ancestry not very reliable: once a liar - always a liar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Passer-by2013 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
3.I'm agree with a user Ichaterbot, that obsession is nothing, as racism. In Europe "jew" is just a religion. You wrote: "ancestry of english actors...available". Examples, please! Neither Jeremy Irons ( inspite of his name and look) no smb. else is claimed to be jewish, if he's not a judaist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Passer-by2013 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- In any case, if a person ethnic 1/8 or 1/4 jewish, and not of judaistic faith, he can't be defyned as a "jew". It was

1970-75: Early Film Roles seems to contain irrelevant promotional material
Don't know how editing to Wikipedia works, so posting these comments here.
The following passage seems out of place (both chronologically and substantively), pretty irrelevant, and a surreptitious attempt at promotion for this film "A Man Called... Rainbo." I have nothing against this film- have never seen it or heard of it- but this random passage is distracting and clearly promotional.
"After the style of Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily?, this film, in 1990, was re-edited from outtakes from the original movie and newly shot matching footage, then redubbed into an award-winning parody of itself titled A Man Called... Rainbo.[19] Again starring Stallone, this self-parody was directed by David Casci and produced by Jeffrey Hilton. A Man Called...Rainbo won Silver Awards at the Chicago International Film Festival and Worldfest – Houston. It was featured on Entertainment Tonight along with its credited star, Sylvester Stallone. It received a Thumbs-Up on Siskel & Ebert and was recommended by Michael Medved on the movie review show, Sneak Previews."
Also, on the Info Box on the right, under children, it says
"Children 5 (including Sage [1976–2012])"
Why is Sage singled out here like this? So people can look him up and see that he died? . . . This is pretty insensitive. Dude's son died; the fact doesn't need to be broadcast extraneously. It should just say 5 children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.102.98.23 (talk) 08:25, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

I read this article: HE DIDN'T TELL "I'M NOT A CATHOLIC", he just told "I'm spritual", it means he believes on spirit, and not a marxist-materialist

MISTAKE: after divorce he lived at his father (the mother lost custody because of alcohol) and 5 years later at his mother and he new family and attended a school for "trouble" boys
Sylvester Stallone as a screenwriter does not mock an individual's personal faith in Christianity. From the first Rocky (1976), kneeling and making the sign of the cross to Rocky Balboa (2006), where Pedro Lovell, (who was a real heavyweight boxer 23-18-3, even losing one to Ken Norton), plays his part again as an aged Spider Rico who is a Born Again Christian.

The others: Bing Crosby(as Father O'Malley): "Going My Way"(won Best Actor, 1944); "The Bells of St. Mary's"(nominated for Best Actor, 1945). Peter O'Toole (as King Henry II of England): "Becket" (nominated for Best Actor, 1964); "The Lion in Winter" (nominated for Best Actor, 1968). Al Pacino (as Michael Corleone): "The Godfather" (nominated for Best Supporting Actor, 1972); "The Godfather Part II" (nominated for Best Actor, 1974). Paul Newman (as Fast Eddie Felson): "The Hustler" (nominated for Best Actor, 1961); "The Color of Money" (won Best Actor, 1986). Cate Blanchett (as Queen Elizabeth I of England): "Elizabeth" (nominated for Best Actress, 1998); "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" (nominated for Best Actress, 2007).

- The real name of Stallone is Sylvester Gaudenzio Stallone. He never wore the first name Michael. Silvestro (= Sylvester) was the first name of his grandfather, and Gaudenzio was the first name of his brother.

Request
Can you add in a bit about Stallone seeing his doctor for tests re: his sexual assault accusations? I'm new here, so I'm not able to edit much yet.Sinking piña colada (talk) 02:52, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Remove the sexual assault allegations. Ridiculous to include them on this page. WeaponX3184 (talk) 01:57, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Not done for now: It was a BBC article, ie a reputable source. Just because he was accused doesn't mean he's guilty. — IVORK Discuss 02:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
The Square Root
Apparently, this was his first or second film. However, IMDb lacks a source for it. Should it be kept on his filmography?82.43.171.99 (talk) 04:24, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
Opening statement
Stallone's Escape Plan movies are not as well-known as his other franchises. I don't think they should be included in the initial paragraph. The Expendables, however, that's very popular, both among fans and how well they've did at the box office over the last several years.Cheap Lidl Chocolate (talk) 02:34, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
Name
The article gives his name both as 'Sylvester Enzio Stallone' and 'Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone'; surely it's one or the other? An interview with his mother in 'Good Housekeeping' magazine in 1979 gives: 'In the Italian tradition, he'd named our new son Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone after some members of his family.' [5] I'd personally imagine that, if anything, 'Enzio' is just a nickname for 'Gardenzio', but as for the 'Michael', who knows? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.112.54 (talk) 22:41, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
