Why Sylvester Stallone's Rocky 3 Diet Was So "Dangerous"
Sylvester Stallone got into incredible shape for Rocky 3, but here's why he later called his diet for the sequel "very dangerous." Like the titular boxer, Rocky itself was a major underdog story in the movie business. Before Rocky, Stallone had appeared in small roles in Woody Allen or Robert Mitchem movies and went on to bigger parts in low-budget projects like Death Race 2000. Rocky was his screenplay, but despite receiving major money offers to sell it so bigger names like Burt Reynolds could star, he insisted only he could play the lead. Rocky was thus assigned a small budget, but it went on to become a major critical and commercial success.
