    Stallone Broke Neck During Fight Scene

    Sly broke neck filming fight scenes

    (UKPA) – 1 hour ago

    Hollywood hardman Sylvester Stallone has said the fight scenes in his new movie were so realistic that he broke his neck during filming.

    Stallone stars in upcoming action film The Expendables, which boasts some of the acting world's biggest tough guys, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke and British actor Jason Statham.

    The 63-year-old said a fight scene with wrestling star Stone Cold Steve Austin became so "vicious" that he needed an operation for a hairline fracture and had a metal plate inserted in his neck.

    Stallone, a writer and director on the testosterone-charged movie, told this month's FHM Magazine: "Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other's ass, one guy tougher than the next. No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy.

    "Actually, my fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck. I'm not joking. I haven't told anyone this, but I had to have a very serious operation afterwards.

    "I now have a metal plate in my neck."

    The film centres around a team of mercenaries who embark on a mission to overthrow a dictator. It also features actress Brittany Murphy, who died last month after collapsing at home.

    Stallone previously starred with Lundgren in Rocky IV - when he also suffered similar injuries.

    He told the magazine: "Dolph Lundgren and I always went for it. I gave him orders to try to knock me out while the cameras were rolling. At one point, he hit me so hard on the top of the head I felt my spine compress. He then hit me with an almighty uppercut.

    "That night my chest and heart started to swell, and I had to be helicopter-ambulanced from my hotel to a nearby emergency room. I was told that Dolph had punched my rib cage into my chest, compressing my heart. If it had swollen any more, I would have died. After that, I was like, 'Dolph, it's only a movie, bro...'"

        Chuck Norris could sweep the floor with all of these so-called bad asses, without breaking a sweat. Mr. Norris offers these words of encouragement to Mr. Stallone...

          That's why they call it acting.

          So they can destroy each other.

            I get the feeling that The Expendables is going to be the coolest thing I've seen in a while. With a cast like that and based on how really awesome Rocky Balboa and Rambo were? I expect GREAT things. Who'd have though Stallone would have hit such a high mark into his 60s?

                I suggested this 10 years ago...that they needed to create a movie with all the biggest names in Action Hero history, and have them fight every bad person/entity you can imagine.

                The "Bad Guys" could be currently: Al-Qaida, The Taliban, North Korea, Iran, Dick Cheney, George Bush, and the son of Ernst Blofeld with a minor supporting role of "chauffer" played by Muammar Gaddafi.

                Jason Statham? Who the fuck is that? They got some nobody to be in the film as one of the greatest action heroes of all time? Who is the idiot that came up with that idea?

                  Those last two movies were the best movies this cocksucker has ever made.

                    Do people really think that?

                    He could hardly even get Rambo distributed over here because people thought it was so shit. I saw Balboa and it was ok, fucking brilliant compared to the last 2 Rocky films though...

                    When you look at his list of work there are a huge number of turkeys. For me his best by a mile was Cop Land. First Blood and Rocky were quite good and some of their sequels were good kids entertainment but there isn't much else. Cliffhanger was a decent thriller.

                        I very much enjoyed the last Rambo. Gritty, dirty, ugly, brutal, gory and a perfect representation of the fucking shithole that is known as Burma...and on top of that, the action and the portrayal of the Rambo character were actually realistic. Best Rambo movie first First Blood.
