Man, if you thought the last Rambo movie was controversial, get ready for Rockygate!
Star Sylvester Stallone has revealed that he is making a director’s cut version of Rocky IV for it’s 35th anniversary (I remember seeing it in the cinema! Man I feel old).
Taking to Instagram, the star wrote: “For the 35th anniversary Rocky 4 Is getting a new DIRECTORS cut by me”.
However, no sooner had the news broke than fans jumped on to Stallone’s social media, begging him to make sure Paulie’s robot – the full scene is at the bottom of the post – makes the final cut. But the news they got back wasn’t what they hoped!
Sico, the mechanical maid owned by Rocky’s brother-in-law Paulie Pennino (Burt Young), was a brief part of the original theatrical release and fans hoped tht perhaps it was set for bigger things in the new cut but Stallone onformed them: “The robot is going to the junkyard forever. No more robot.”
In another response, he added: “I don’t like the robot anymore.”
Oof! For fans of Sico, it seems.
Still, he may be kidding. He’s not kidding.
