Sylvester Stallone got here inside a hair’s breadth of tanking “Rocky II” due to a ugly harm, and you will not imagine how he powered by to shoot the flick!
Sly and Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down with Harvey, and for the primary time ever collectively they talked about their unbelievable rivalry and the way it blossomed into a detailed friendship.

Arnold’s coach and compadre, bodybuilding legend Franco Columbu, skilled Sly for “Rocky II,” and when Franco challenged Sly to a bench press competitors, the actor was sport … till he ripped his pec off the bone.
This is the issue. The harm occurred a month-and-a-half earlier than Sly was set to star in and direct the ‘Rocky’ sequel — so, you gotta see him clarify how he pulled it outta the hearth!
As ‘Rocky’ followers know, Balboa’s usually a southpaw (lefthanded), however in “Rocky II” he learns to struggle righthanded. That wasn’t only a random plot twist — seems it was the one means Sly might movie together with his harm.

As Sly put it to us … pushing by the ache is simply what pushed people like himself and Arnold did to make it to the highest.
“TMZ Presents Arnold & Sly: Rival, Friends, Icons” airs Tuesday at 8/7 Central on FOX.
