Sylvester Stallone ‘is up there with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolph Lundgren thinks Sylvester Stallone is “up there” with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as one of Hollywood’s great filmmakers.
The 61-year-old actor – who has starred alongside Stallone in the ‘Rocky’ franchise – has hailed the American movie star, comparing him to two of the industry’s best-known filmmakers.
He said: “He’s a good guy, he’s a very clever man, and funny and witty.
“You know, because he plays these characters who don’t talk much … people think he’s that way, but he isn’t, he’s a very smart guy. One of the smartest in Hollywood.
“You don’t create three franchises – ‘Rocky’, ‘Rambo’ and ‘The Expendables’ – by being stupid, that’s for sure.
“There’s him and there’s maybe … who else? Maybe Spielberg has done stuff like that … Lucas … He’s up there.”
Dolph has reunited with Stallone for ‘Creed II’ and he’s explained how the new movie compares to Stallone’s ‘Expendables’ movies.
He told Sky News: “I’ve done five films with him.
“This was a bit different because now we’re on opposite sides, like in the first one.
“Then we did three ‘Expendables’, a little more cartoonish and we’re just cracking a few jokes and firing guns everywhere and running around, on boats or whatnot, helicopters … here we have scenes where we sit down across each other on a table and have a three-page dialogue scene.
“It was more being a fellow actor with another actor.”
