Since his introduction to the cinematic world, Stallone has been all over the place on the Hollywood map…RAMBO was another series that really anchored the world’s love for Sylvester. John Rambo, a disenfranchised and troubled Vietnam vet—in First Blood (1982). Rambo ends up going to war with the police in a small town after being mistreated by authorities. Once again, Stallone struck box-office gold. He went behind the scenes for his next effort, Staying Alive (1983), which he wrote and directed. Although the film featured John Travolta reprising his breakout role from Saturday Night Fever (1977), it did not fare as well as the original. 
Stallone reunited with the cast of The Expendables to co-star in a followup. The Expendables 2 premiered in 2012 and reached the #1 spot at the box office, bringing in nearly $28.6 million for its opening weekend. Stallone delivered The Expendables 3 in 2014, with Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson among the cast. The film proved to have more modest box office returns domestically than its predecessors, though foreign ticket sales were once again HUGE! 
In 2017, Stallone is on deck to co-star in the animated film Animal Crackers as well as the sequel to the Marvel Comics blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy. He has also signed on to play lead in the mobster TV series Omerta, based on the last novel by Mario Puzo.
Again…HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYLVESTER!
