September 25, 2008
Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone will be bestowed with a lifetime achievement award for his contribution to cinema over the last four decades on September 26th at the inaugural Golden Icon Award at this year's Zurich film festival. It won't be the first film festival recognition of his impact on film culture, merely the latest.
Stallone’s list of successful films include the Rocky and Rambo Sequels as well as First Blood, CopLand, Over The Top, Cobra, Tango & Cash, Cliffhanger, Judge Dredd, Lock Up, Daylight and The Specialist among others. His films have grossed a total of $1.7 billion. He has recently signed on to direct Rambo 5, due to start filming next year.
What’s more, Sylvester Stallone is also thought to be writing Rambo 6. When Sylvester Stallone revisited one of his most famous cinematic creations for Rocky Balboa, he crafted an elegant, eloquent finale to the series that dropped the overblown posturing of its previous sequels and let the character go with a respect and dignity that nobody really thought possible.
