look at Sylvester I really hate to do this and and normally I wouldn't do this but Paul Paul Schaefer
is a really quite a fan of you and you're working he asked me when he heard you were going to be on
the show if it would be okay if uh you know he could meet you before the show oh cool is that
all right big fan of yours too thank you this is such a thrill you know nobody loves ramble
or rocky as much as I do if I'm doing one thing for me it's too much to ask would you mind just
punching Dave in the stomach real as hard as you can like you did with Drago you know
I mean like would you bother him please while you're embarrassingly I'm your guest and if you
really want me to I mean really good one yeah okay he'll let him have it this would be great
I asked you uh this is my next guest first appearance on this program uh it's a pleasure
to welcome him here with us and uh he has a new movie uh soon to be out it's called stop or my mom
will shoot it opens Nationwide on February 21st ladies and gentlemen here he is Sylvester Stallone
yes you know it occurs to me and I'm sorry to bring this up but you must have guys
trying you every minute of the day and girls oh seriously no matter of fact
the first time I ever got quote sucker punched I was doing fist in uh Iowa I
thought a very peaceful place Dubuque Iowa and this girl comes up and she looks like
Julie Andrews because I love your films that's a funny joke I love your films
I'm telling you I saw Birds I saw my mother circling I saw a thing that
was knocked back in their childhood so uh yeah there are a lot of people that liked
it it's I guess it's because obviously of the some of the movies you've made
you you and uh you you play a fighter some of the movies you play just a tough guy and
and everybody seems to think and I guess after a couple of beers I just I'm gonna
find out how tough this guy is this is true this is true usually my Ex-Wives yeah boom
uh now all right I mentioned at the top of the program that this is the
first time you've been here we've wanted to have you on for years and years and years
of course uh your brother Frank has been here let me check to see no no no still wet
oh it's a brother wet show it's one of those things
and and also uh your mother was here on a very early I would have been touched what joke okay
but but how how was it that it's taken you so long to get here ah well the truth is you know
those pump cars all across our eyes well I you know I'm kind of like very tentative coming to
the east coast now and then usually the only time I come is to for free clothes and to do movies and
the things we're offering neither and I said oh what the heck yeah I'll wait 10 years no I just
wanted to see if you really wanted me so I I'm kind of like a slow study yeah well we certainly
appreciate you being here and let me guess I was a little nervous to come on because you know in
the beginning you were like this Attila The Hunt of late night you know I mean there were organs
strewn around the stage it was like something like Chainsaw Massacre you know why that was steroids
but I learned that's right you did it no more no more yes sir and and you mentioned when you come
east and of course I think now and correct me if I'm wrong you're on your way to France is that
right this is true yeah what's the purpose of that trip I am going to get an award uh it's called the
um Legion of Honor award a letter to artiste for people that don't want to refund for my
films they finally gave me something and then there's a thing called the Caesar Awards and
that's equivalent to their French Oscar yeah wow well what it is they they kind of like mistaked
me for Jerry Lewis okay I'll take it I'll do it you know we had a director on here a couple of
months ago and he was explaining to us that uh the guy who used to translate the Jerry Lewis
dialogue for the French people yes passed away at a certain point and they had to start using
a different guy and after he died the Jerry Lewis was not as popular as he was before the when the
original guy was doing the the translation and we were thinking that perhaps that it was the
guy who was doing the Voice who was actually very popular not so much Jerry well you know there's a
lot there is a lot seriously voices play a very very important part if you notice uh very very
uh famous stars throughout history have always had quite distinctive voices I mean that's why
they're imitated and I think is something to that yeah um let's see do we want to talk a little bit
about the movie here do we have time to take a look at a clip now or okay all right we'll
do a commercial and then when we come back here we'll talk some more with our friend
welcome back to the program Sylvester Stallone is here we have Cowboy Junkies
with us a Canadian group and uh we have an ax thrower and a lumberjack Shannon
strong you ever do any of that you ever climb any trees or no it's a lot of bull
throwers but axes and yeah well that's a very nice young woman and she'll be out later yeah
I like it uh okay now the film uh the new film opens February what was the date 20 21st 21st
and this is you and Estelle Getty from what I've been able to get it is a slight departure you
know she's like my little Pocket Fisherman mother you know she's one of these foldable things she's
very small but it's you know she's riotous in the film she comes out and she tries to dominate my
life and I think this clip is uh I am a cop who's trying to help a suicide who's about to jump off
a ledge and then she starts hassling me from the street and almost causes me to jump all right now
is your mother also a cop or a retired cop or just hanging around you she's an egg okay okay
that looks like a lot of fun yes uh and you're happy with the way the film came
out yeah I I think that uh we we've got a film that is I mean it's not exactly gonna you know
a cure for any kind of ailment but it's not bad not bad good for you uh how many movies
have you made I think about 25 and yeah about 25 going on yeah and do you know do you have
a rough figure how much revenue those 25 films have generated it's it's unbelievable isn't it
uh is about 2.6 billion 2.6 billion oh my God and why am I on welfare I don't know
aging I don't know but now what what are you what is a man now because you you get like I
didn't pocket that no no no no no I understand but you're making deals where you get like half
the money goes to you well then half goes to spouses and then spouses and wives and
then their buddies and their boyfriends that goes down to like spouses buddies
but uh uh now what what do you do I know do you collect art is that right yes I I am a a serious
art collector I started actually my quite an auspicious beginning I was driving up Pacific
Coast Highway and I saw a finger painted of John Wayne on velvet and said that's for me I I feel
that velvet and I went on from there and I was taken and you're taken for a fortune before you
understand how it all works right now can you give us an example of some mistakes you've made
in the art world I mean are they reputable or do they say oh it comes here Here Comes Mr movie guy
let's go well I can't mention names but there have been situations where literally millions
of dollars on how have been mistakenly overcharged it was like excuse me that this is uh four million
dollars and and it cost them like 1.98 get the dumb Nouveau Rich Italian Hill buy it just cover
it with sauce put sauce on it and and you're driving home thinking you got a bargain I got
a real bug uh has it worked the other way have you looked at something and said somebody says
no no this really you ought to consider this and you say no I don't like it and then later you're
fine all right at one time I you know there were a lot of threats so I had a security fellow with
me a real nice guy you're kind of like a happy Humphrey kind of guy he'll he'll appreciate that
was Tony so we're going to look at a decooning at the time the decooning was about eighty thousand
dollars and again I had just gone from John Wayne ninety dollars to the Cooney for 90
000 it was a little shocking I was ready to sign it I'm gonna take it six foot to
Cooling and again I go what do you think me I wouldn't put that piece of grab my dog house
so I said I don't want it anyway make a long story short that sold for 4.7
million oh my my and Tony is still with us Tony is floating Eastward right now
but now I don't think it's fair to leave the impression that you're only in it to
speculate no no actually you do go to that you know that speculation period
and then you say you know what I'm just gonna buy something I like hanging on
the wall so what I do is I usually you know the dog shooting pool one of my favorites
it's a good way to impress the babes
they can dry themselves on your right seriously you know that's my kind of trick uh let's see
um I can't I can't tell you how glad I am you finally decided to come join us in our second
decade thank you man uh and you're on your way to France have a great trip and when you come
back the uh the new film will have open stop or my mom will shoot stop or I'll shoot my mom the
sequel February 21st pleasure to see you thank you thank you ladies and gentlemen we'll be right back
