Rocky v. Rambo

Few actors are fortunate enough to be featured in a successful franchise, much less 2. Sylvester Stallone starred in and wrote the screenplays for the iconic Rocky and Rambo series. Rocky Balboa, aka the Italian Stallion, is the erstwhile boxing heavyweight champion of the world. Despite beating up Dillon from Predator, B. A. Baracus, and He-Man, he’s invariably the underdog. John Rambo is a Vietnam vet and ex-Green Beret who suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. With a propensity for ripping out dudes’ throats and taking on entire armies single-handedly, it’s probably best not to tease him about his headband.
