He looked 5ft11 in lifts
Jesse Stone said on 16/Jan/16
My dad's peak was 5'9.5 and he is the same age as Stallone. Today (he shrank to about 5'8.5 - 5'9) that sometimes seems to be shorter than average...lots of taller people around these days. But when we look at pictures from the 70's he seemed very average maybe a bit above. So those views of heights changed with time I believe..
Peter175 said on 14/Jan/16
@James B
5'9 was always the average, with 5'10 even being closer to the average for US males. Stallone is not short by today or his gen, but he definitely would never be considered above average to any great degree.
James B said on 12/Jan/16
What alot of ignorant people fail to realise is that Stallone was never a short guy in the first place more like a strong average for his generation in particular. A legit 5'9 back in say the 1970s I'd imagine would be between average-tall since average height of American man back then was like what? 5'8?
People call
Mel Gibson short too? Stand a peak Mel next to a legit 6footer there would not be a big difference, that is not short.

How tall do you think he can hit in lifts, Rob?
Editor Rob: I've never really seen him wearing anything that would give 4 inches of true height, but in the 3 inches range yes....so he could measure 6ft in lifts.
He´s got to be in 4 inch munsters there
Click Here
Look how awkward and chunky they look when he walks downstairs, he also looks max 3 inches shorter than the host Thomas Gottschalk who is 6´3" legit, so 6´4" in footwear.
Stallones legs look also way to long when barefoot pics show he has rather short legs proportionally
Editor Rob
3 inch range is possible, but the boot and lift needed to get near 4 inches is massive.
Lolo said on 10/Jan/16
In CREED he looks a good 177/178 cm even in sneakers. Ok it´s a movie and bla bla bla but 174 cm only is hard to get.
Dmeyer said on 8/Jan/16
I agree rob in some rare case hé did wear 2,75-3in type And was likely heating 5'11,75-6ft shoes/lifts on but he oftenly weard more the 2-2,5in type And was 5'11-11,5 at best in shoes , and somtimes just à 4cm type And was 5'10,5 shoes And looked 5'10 with posture
berta said on 7/Jan/16
rob i Think 175 i "about" right for Stallone but the scene were he and kurt russel is barefoot is a Little starange. Kurt russell is 176 and Stallone looks 1 cm taller.ore the same but not shorter? I guess he have the same height when he walks as when he measures.

I beleive Stallone wore 4 inch elevator shoes.I always assumed he is in the 173 range,no less than that for sure.Also,There is a pic of the Rocky 3 cast in wich Stallone and Mr.T appear wearing boxing shoes with flat sole and the gap between the two is about 2 inch.He is also shorter than his wife,listed at 175 cm in a pic standing together barefeet.
bernie said on 2/Jan/16
@Junior31 - pretty simple..Sly must have been grown up to 4 inches since then...best proof for that it is possible to still even grow after your thirties till your late sixties.. great!!!!
Don't quit your Hope.....
Brad said on 1/Jan/16
Rocky owned Spinell by an inch on film. What was Rocky in? Massive heeled custom boots...the slaughterhouse sneakers with a same height Paulie is a classic height prooved, er proved moment. Duran-Stallone shots are killers.

Sly is rag dolling from those phantom punches at 5'8.5" peak. Philly Phlat boxing shoes were needed.
Frankie68 said on 29/Dec/15
Sly is 5'7 flat !!! With his long arms & extreme footwear idk why it would surprise anyone how he can appear 5'10 ...when u really study his height compared to actors in his range its very obvious !!! More so with actors who are tall ... Now take the CREED premiere ...sly looked very short next to carl weathers & IS shorter than michael b jordan !!! So how is sly in the 5'9 5'10 range without lifts !!! He is in the 5'10 range in shoe lifts !! So that makes him much shorter flatfooted !!! & his shoes give him 3 inches minimum !!!
Brad said on 29/Dec/15
That training film with Weathers is a rare Stallone shot in regular boxing footwear. Wedged up customs with camera angles worked well in the film especially in the ring. Stallone 4.5" shorter against Weathers is pretty funny.
Brad said on 28/Dec/15
Spinell was owned by Rocky by an inch. A: Spinell wasn't 5' 11" B: Stallone is in massive customs. Between 5' 9" and 5' 10" is ridiculous. Bernie is correct in every line.
the shredder said on 27/Dec/15
Based on Danimal's logic , every man stops growing at exactly 18 and all are 5'9.
bernie said on 27/Dec/15
@richie - where is the challenge/ difficulty for a 5'8" man pulling off to for example 5'11"? There is absolutely no problem, you only need the right shoes with the right heels with right inside sole! Miracle fullfilled!
Why then in some other scene with "Paulie" (5'7.5" - 5'8"), when they both entering the slaughterhouse, Sly in sneakers, there is no 3 inches difference between them??????? They look pretty identical in height..
Shouldn't happen to man between 5'9"-5'10" as you claim...... Reason?????
richie said on 26/Dec/15
Stallone could pull off a weak 6' in some of his earlier movies, watch the scene in Rocky with actor and close friend Joe Spinell, who at 5'11" was not a small man. Stallone had close to an inch on Spinell, albeit with cuban heels, so Sly at his peak height would have been somewhere between 5'9"/10". To suggest anything as slow as 5'7"/8" is just ridiculous.......
Brad said on 25/Dec/15
To get to 5' 10" Sly was wedged up in any scene.
Dmeyer said on 25/Dec/15
You could argue 5'8,75-9,25 peak but 5ft 10 is too much of course hé was that out of bed , in the Rocky hé can look 5'9-11 depending on shoes , burt young was 5'7,5 and millo is similar to rob height and there was à solid 3-4cm between him and mr t , of course respecting you'r comment Antony , hé could look 5'10-11 many times thaugh , but can also look 5'8,5 peak on rare occasion
Anthony said on 24/Dec/15
First of all, Danimal 176, you come across genuinely insecure and arrogant, calling people you don't even know "naive and ignorant", two things I assure you I am far from. Secondly, unlike most people, I happen to have enough sense to do my research before speaking. I am fully aware of the heels that everyone wore back in the 70s, but I also happen to be able to examine people very closely. I've seen lots of people who were 5'10, and it's quite clear that Sly was around that size back then. In case you forgot, there were other scenes in the old Rocky films where he wore sneakers, making his true height more clear, as he still appeared to be pretty much the same length. I'm only stating what I've checked out closely. But if you're gonna be rude about it, then just don't say anything.
Dorian said on 23/Dec/15
I guess he was and still is a solid 5'8".Approximately as Equal as Downey Jr , Renner .Lift wearer plus flawless pisture gives him a perfect taller perception
Arthur said on 23/Dec/15
Sly was a legit 5ft9 guy in his peak no taller, no shorter.He used variety of elevator shoes and wedges from past to today in both of his films and regular life.Directors often used special camera angles and special shoes for Sly.This is art.Look Sly with Carl weathers in rocky series they look identical in this films whereas Weathers is way taller than him in normal life.Sly is one of my favorite actors.But he changed his height so much that made us hard to guess.My advice is do a lot research for height before guessing Sly.Learn elevator shoes ,learn lifts,learn camera angles.Learn these topics before guessing Sly.Guessing Sly's height is an expert thing.If you are a beginner in height research you can easlly make a mistake guessing him.İn my opinion Robs listing is %100 correct for Sly.I watched all of Sly s films and looked nearly all of his shoes in photos and my final guess is Sly is a 5ft9 (1.75) guy in his peak.
1.75cm peak
1.73cm-1.74cm nowadays.

Sly most certainly was a full 5 feet 10 inches in the early Rocky movies, as he cleary stood 2 whole inches taller than 5 foot 8 Burt Young, and just a slight bit shorter than Mr. T who stands 5'10 & a half. He still even appeared slighty taller than Milo Ventimiglia in Rocky 6, and Milo is 5'9. Maybe some of those surgeries he had in the past for the injuries he sustained during the making of his other action films caused him to shrink a bit, but in the 70s and early you could cleary tell he did look a little tall. He might be a bit shorter these days, but there is no way in hell that he's as short as 5'7. I don't believe he's any shorter than 5'9. Maybe 5'8.5, but that's it. Any shorter heights are exaggerations.
I was once naive and ignorant too. This was their REAL height difference WITHOUT Sly's HUGE black heeled boots. I'm sorry, but you need to know the truth and my job is to educate people on LIFT wearers:

I live in Florida and in the early 90s, I actually met Sylvester Stallone on Miami Beach. I was with my girlfriend at the time. Stallone was barefoot walking on the beach. Most people didn't seem to notice or recognize him. But I actually walked up to him and said hi. He was really cool to chat with. Very nice.
Now I stand around 5' 9.75" at my morning height. Around 5' 9.5" later in the day. When I ran into Stallone, it was early afternoon.
This was the era before cell phones, so I never snapped a photograph of the encounter. Which I regret to this day.
I can tell you that Stallone only appeared a little shorter than me. I actually asked my gf about the height difference afterwards and she said I did look taller, but only by a little bit.
With that being said, 5' 9" seems about right to me.

Sylvester Stallone is 5'6" not one inch taller

At his peak barefoot, Sly was NEVER taller than 173.5-174cm (5'8.3"-5.'8.5") MAX. Today he's 171.5 (5'7.5").

RisingForce said on 9/Dec/15
Danimal, that's just an average and iirc, the survey was done of only 2000 or so men. To have an average, you must have some above it and some below it. Just like you point out people who lose far more than the average (Arnold, Clint) Considering Sly still has great posture, he'd be a likely candidate to lose less than average. That survey only proved that men CAN lose 1.2" or more by age 70, not that they always do.
Dorian said on 9/Dec/15
I don t understand why "danimal"refers Stallone as 5'7.5 nowdays .So He is close is height as Tom Crhise?I mean,what is going on here?
Dorian said on 9/Dec/15
I guess the height loss experienced by Sly is not so dramatic at all.My uncle is 58 years old and he still is 170.5 cm,considering he always had an insanely peefect posture .Stallone is somone whos exercise frequently in his life,even today.I also viewed some of his training routines and they involve the hanging exercise.I strongly beleive He was always in the 5'8 range (173.5cm)and today he mayy got down to 173 flat or little less but i doubt.The point is ,as Rob knows also,the height loss can in certain cases be "prevented",perhaps not enterely but,thanks to the decompression process of the spine the discs between the vertebrae get rehydrated.Actors as Pacino and De Niro are subjects who experienced strong height loss due to their very poor posture and tendecy to slouch.De niro looked slightly taller than Stallone in the movie Cop Land..now is completely different.Of course Sly was always a lift wearer but his posture never let let down.There also some pics of Sly and his wife Jennifer ,who ia listed 175 cm on many websites,where they are standing togheter barefeet and the difference between the two is about 2 cm circa

Mightyman said on 7/Dec/15
I have the slight suspicion that sly has had leg lengthening surgery a few years back, just maybe 1 or 2 inches extra, but it can make all the difference. The new technique uses a pin inside the leg bone which expands when u twist yr leg everyday. Its called fitbone. Also u don't need a leg cast or supports to walk around. So it is possible he did it.

Junior31 said on 6/Dec/15
It's funny but Slys height might be the easiest one in here. Rocky 1 he was medlying around 5'9 (think a spec under) when he woke up and went to bed around 5'8.5. The morning of the creed premiere he's waking up mid 5'8 and going to bed after schmoozing on the red carpet 5'8 flat or a hair under. What so difficult about this

i dount jordan is over 5'10 after looking at the pictures posted on his page and there is still a possibility syl was wearing small lifts with him and weathers. still sticking with 5'7 range for syl. maybe 5'8 in his younger days if he was lucky but there's enough evidence he was never 5'9.
RisingForce said on 30/Nov/15
Footage of Creed premiere.
Click Here Weathers next to Sly from about 0:45 on. Weathers should be just under 6'1" these days. Mr. R thought Michael B. Jordan was a "weak 5-11" and he's at 5'10.5" here. I see about 4 inches between Sly and Weathers, but at least 2 between Jordan and Sly. I agree with Rob and Dmeyer. Imo, Sly being a solid 5'8" like Rob these days is possible, but so is 5'8.5". Can't see him out of that range. I now believe he was just under 5'9" peak, like 5'8.75", pretty much exactly what Brigitte Nielsen said(174-175 cm)
Christian said on 30/Nov/15
Seeing Stallone with Mike Tyson and actor Jordan I now doubt if he ever reached the five foot nine mark. It seems that he could have been five eight and a half as his peak height cause he is the master of lifts and I find it hard to believe that he would be in public without any kind of lifts. Maybe just a half inch with his lowest lifts:) I agree that he looks more five eight today.
Lorne??? said on 29/Nov/15
Lol @ "RIP Sly's lifts, they served him well for 40 years."
I guess now he is content to just mess with Camera angles. Poor Kelsey Grammer, considering he's lost at least an inch himself,
I think he'd be about your height now, Rob. Solid 173cm. Slightly taller than me. :)

Rob,I guess He was and still now is a legit 5 foot 8 (173) .
He is an elevator shoes wearer and maybe he is able to apper taller by the fact that He always seemed muscular and buffed,giving a sort of optical illusion combined,of course,with the shoe lifts.
Heylo said on 27/Nov/15
Maybe you should consider downgrading him to a flat 5'8? he really didn't look any taller than that next to Jordan. He could still have been 5'9 or at least, very close to it in his peak.
johemoth the dog said on 26/Nov/15
Seeing him with
Jason Statham who is around 5'9, im thinking Stallone is more of a weak 5'8. Hard to tell since most pics with him he is wearing lifts, but there is a few without them, and he can look anywhere from 0.5-1.5 inches shorter then him.

I've watched some pics of the creed premiere.. man, in some shots Sly appears way shorter than Carl (ca. 6'0.75"), there's a huge gap between them both, i'd say this must be around 5 inches...
(And then there is still the question how much he gains from his shoes..?? I don't claim he's in huge lifts, but + 2 inches wouldn't surprise me...)
So whose Belief still is that Sly is or was close to 5'10", watch these pics, even 5'9" is too generous. Cannot be more than 5'7.5" - 5'7.75" these days..and was no more than 5'8" peak
That's how i see it
Frankie68 said on 22/Nov/15
Anybody see the "creed" premiere pics ...i always said sly is no taller than 5'7 ....in the pics of carl weathers u can clearly tell carl is a much bigger man than stallone ...much bigger ,, in body & height ...carl also is much bigger than michael b jordan whos height claim is 5'11 ...which i dont agree with either !!!

Mel Gibson, not taller than his wife 5'8.5 J. Flavin, ca. 5 inches shorter than C. Weathers in an early training video, pretty same height as ca. 5'7" Sharon Stone etc. ...

Hey Rob,
I have just observed some pic of Alesso with Skrillex,who is listed here as 164 cm,and the 4 inch gap between the two is visible.Also,Alesso is shorter than the singer Theo Hurts who is estimated as 180 cm.In conclusion,the photo that i sent You of Stallone and Alesso,in wich Sly appears wearing normal shoes and not elevator ones,would put the Italian Stallion at a solid 173 cm? What do You think ?

Hey Rob are these heights measured by including with wearing shoes or without wearing shoes
Editor Rob
always assuming someone would be without shoes
James B said on 15/Nov/15
Stallone still is and never was a short man at all, in fact a 5'9 guy like himself back in 70s would have been a legit average height. Sure compared to a huge guy like Dolph Lundgren who was a strong 6'4 he is tiny but wouldn't most men look small in comparison??
At 5'9 I am guessing there are plenty of occasions when you can feel on the taller side amongst some. Even me at only 5'7 can feel tall on occasion.

Rob,this is a picture of Stallone along with the dj Alesso.Alesso's height is listed as 5'.9"(175cm) on many websites and the gap between the two is quit significant.Is Sylvester Stallone 5'8" at this point or perhaps Alesso is taller than the height stated on the web?
Editor Rob
alesso claimed he was 182cm on his twitter. It's always possible he is over 175cm and like 177-8 range, but not looked at him.

My friend Janet who Id not seen for a fews years until recently was working on a TV ad in Bolton with him last year.

She said hes a 3-4" taller than she was,he had black army boots on btw. Just saying.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Oct/15
He wasn't under 5ft9 peak.
bandet said on 28/Oct/15
Looking at Sly when he was younger, to me, he's an easy 5ft9, perhaps a bit more. I think it's the same old adage. Male movies star action hero will be deemed short unless they are over 6ft. And any movie star less than 5.11 deemed tiny! Beats me why people even try to judge people's heights when so many get them wrong.
Ray said on 20/Oct/15
May as well shut this board down. Stalone has been all over the range of heights with his custom shoes. Unless he comes out on Conan with a stadometer..no one will ever know the truth. If anyone is looking to know his real height they should look at his movies in the 80's. Since then he has grown 5-6 inches.
cup1 said on 18/Oct/15
At certain sites and reported that the height of Sylvester Stallone is one meter and seventy...Would it be possible

Best way to settle this height debate is for Rob to meet these action stars if possible like he does other celebrities.

Its funny in grudge match he get completely towered over 6'0 MMA fighter Chael Sonnen. I doubt he was wearing lifts for that scene, because that be bad news for him. But in that same scene is has a comfortable 2 inches on Robert De Niro. Also in that film he pretty much is eye to eye with 5'11 Jon Bernthal, which is a bit confusing.

Andrea said on 3/Oct/15
So, Rob what do you think about that? Why should a 5'8-5'9 man say that Sly is very short in person, also considering that Sly himself probably had more shoes (not probably, but certainly : ) ) and better posture?
Btw, you can see the guy with Mika (on the right):
Click Here That guy certainly isn't over 5'9!
Editor Rob
sometimes it can be simply he had an idea of Sly being taller and then just is more shocked when he is 5ft 8-9 range...he was expecting a 5ft 10 or taller man from watching movies.
Maybe just the 1-2 inch difference was enough for him to be surprised enough to call him very short?
Brad said on 2/Oct/15
Hey Danimal, I needed that 5' 8.5" quote years ago versus the height expert: the G.
Andrea said on 1/Oct/15
Rob, today i was listening to an italian radio show and there was this famous italian singer who was talking about meeting Sly in a hotel last year... He said he was shocked when he saw him because he was really short in person and he always thought he was tall from watching his movies! Now, this guy isn't over 5'9... How can he say Sly is "very short", when they should be very close in height? Mmh..

Watch the opening scene in Copland where we see Stallone practically barefoot with actor Ray Liotta who is just 6', Liotta has between 3/4' on Stallone, based on that scene which appears accurate, i would say 5'8/9" maximum and his lifts would put him in the 5'11" range which is the height he can pull off in most of his movies....
why do you keep making the same post over and over again?
dmeyer said on 24/Sep/15

If you look at the whole at some point sly looks 4.5in while in 1.3-4in sneakers so about 6in shorter 190cm -14-15cm thats 176cm shoes on so about 5'8 tops 5'8.5

meezemaker said on 22/Sep/15
Just watch that and stop on 1:26 mn...Sly is just on the side of Jerome le Banner who is barfoot. He look an inch shorter. !!!Le banner is listed at 190 cm / 120kg, dont need to cheat, just watch K1 match of le Banner with a 205cm man. If sly were 170.5...he would have needed more than elevators to be close to the Le banner height. Even if we imagine Sly knows he gonna be filmed with kick boxers, he has to show off his best height...I cannot imagine sly barefoot at 170.5 wearing 5 inches elevators with the kind of running shoes or this man is a genius -:)

I think the fact Stallone joked himself about wearing elevator shoes fighting Dolph Lundgren and the Italian shoemaker made him elevator boots is good evidence.

...not to forget movies like Rambo & Demolition man...ca. 3.5 - 3.75 inch height boost from his footwear, but only 3-4 inches taller than supposedly 5'7" Sandra Bullock (whereat i think she's shorter.. more like 5'6"..)

Dan said on 15/Sep/15
I'd definitely give Stallone a perfect flat 5-9. Rob is correct. All that 5-6 5-7 nonsense is stupid. In every old Stallone flick he easily gets to 5-11 with his custom shoes. 5-11, but disproportionately meaning he looks odd. Small physique with big shoes. He can't be 5-8
And definitely never 5-6 or 5-7. You're already going into Tom cruise and Ben stiller territory.

Anywhere from 5'8.75-5'9.25 is possible for Sly at peak height. Today it's harder to pin down the exact height because of footwear.

Cruise can pass for his 5'9 claim cause of lifts so its not really a good example. I would go as low as 5'8 flat for Stallone now but no more.
Rey said on 5/Sep/15
Why do some stars or superheroes get dinged for a 1/2" (in the negative) or more....and don't get me wrong -I love Stallone, but this myth of 5'8"-5'9" continues on this site. Cruise and Stallone see eye-to eye.

Rob, I think Robert Downey has already bigger wedged up shoes than Mr. Stallone! Stallone (for example on the red carped) hasn't got that much boost anymore like back then.... except at the premiere of Expendables lll. when he wanted to appear tall next to Schwarzenegger, Ford,...

You've got extremely long arms for your height, in fact your proportions are similar to Chris Paul's. For a non-athlete (I guess he can be considered a fake one) Sly has insanely long arms if his wingspan is really 6'2".

@ MKJoP: Still miss your comment to the pic with L. Hamilton...??!! When Sly is 5´10" - 5´10.75" as you said, then it must sound like: L. Hamilton is not the 171cm-172cm, he is about 6 foot tall.. or something.. right!? Or L. Hamilton has like 4 iches lifts..

Frankie68 said on 1/Aug/15
My take is ( especially in his younger days -the 80's or 90's ) when his boots/ footwear was beyond embarrassing.....to possibly be 5'10 on a mountain of shoe ... How can he possibly be 5'8 or 5' 9 flatfooted even in his younger days ....its impossible ...his boots in movies like rocky ,,cobra ,, over the top & so on gave him incredible height enhancement ...theres no way anybody could wear his footwear & be only an inch or 2 shorter flatfooted .... 5'7 max young or old if hes lucky !!!

I like the picture too, yes he is short...but you could see this in the barefoot scene in "The Specialist" too, when he is a bit shorter than 5'8 - 5'8.5 Sharon Stone.

at times he could look 5ft 8.5, but then other times 5ft 9, up to 10.5 with lifts. The 5ft 9 mark I think is still a good shout for his peak though.

Just saw Victory from year 1981. Sly is 1.25 inches taller than Pele(5ft8) and 2.5 inches taller than Ossie Ardiles(5ft6.5). All are wearing football boots in the match scenes. Sly was a strong 5ft9 when he was young. Maybe even 5ft9.5 with good posture. Now down to 5ft8.5. 5ft7 claims are just ridiculous.

True, Sly is a man of bizzare proportions. He has gorilla long arms and his reach is probably close to 72 inches, possibly even more
His arms look perfectly normal to me,never gorilla like.I'm 5'10.5 and my wingspan(A.K.A. armspan)is a measured 6'4.75,meaning it's a solid 6 inches more than my actual barefoot height(believe it or not,you don't have to be an athlete,like an NBA or a waterpolo player to have long arms)and it only appears longish to me.What's a real case of gorilla arms might be Kevin Durant's case: a 6'9-6'10 basketball player with a 7'5 reach!!That's what i call gorilla arms,and he uses them to a big degree(blocking shots,dunking over 7'footers(the real ones),steals,assists etc).

Guys, what is your estimation for Stallones armspan? It must be over 5'11... IMHO.

True, Sly is a man of bizzare proportions. He has gorilla long arms and his reach is probably close to 72 inches, possibly even more
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Jul/15
He still comfortably clears 5ft8.
Brad said on 3/Jul/15
G still claims 5' 8", like Sly he inflates to make himself what he wants. Wake up fer G is 5' 6.5"/Sly 5' 8". 6 feet for Frank is a joke, 6' 1" is pathetic.
Jesse Stone said on 2/Jul/15
It is. In Rocky the armspan was discribed AS 6'2. Seems a lot, but however his arms are longer than the ones of a regular man bis height. His proportions seem odd.
Tunman said on 2/Jul/15
I wonder Why did he claim exactly 5'10.75?possibly his out of bed height with an inch footwear?and his brother claims 6'1 OMG
Even his deceased son Sage is listed 5'10(a claim?) when he looked rather 5'8.
Height boosting is a family habit.
Editor Rob
his brother went down an inch...he recently claimed a modest 6 feet!
dmeyer said on 2/Jul/15
Rob. Do you think sly hits 174cm at night or after training or more 173.5cm like strong 5'8
Editor Rob
after training he could always dip to a bit shy of 174 I feel today. In a few years he might start looking just 5ft 8

Schwarzenegger towers Stallone in that 1993 picture, say Arnie was probably 6'1.5", Stallone between 5'8"/9", he has close to 5 inches on him.

@Rob
Are Sly and Frank related to the infamous Big G?
Editor Rob
well, they all seem to add height to their claim, so I'd say genetically they may be!
khuja said on 21/Jun/15
Wow he looks really tall on screen though, i guess he would appear tall in real too coz of his physique
Alex said on 21/Jun/15
Stallone looks pretty short in that 1993 pic
Jim Hopper said on 18/Jun/15
Weak 5-8 sounds good
Brad said on 18/Jun/15
The tape could be used to measure the slices. "Eh Tony, da extra cheese one is an inch short Tone, whatchagunnadoaboutit?". Stallone's insoles are a big wedge, like a fat pizza near Yankee Stadium.

That person needs to call out the rest of the measurement..."three quarters tall" Sly is a weak 5'8". Hey Sal, get my measuring tape and 2 slices, pweese.
jtm said on 3/Sep/12
well that's your opinion risingforce and i don't agree that he was taller than robert deniro.
Dmeyer said on 3/Sep/12
I had cowboy With 2 in Back heel the gave 1.65 in
Dmeyer said on 3/Sep/12
Its because of pivoting reason most cowboy heels have 1.75-2 in Back Heel , wish means they give 1.5-1.75 in reality , also 1 in lifts give about 0.6-0.7 in for same reason you entire foot is not standing on the 3 in , you will need a 1-1.3 front shoes and 3.5-4 in Back heel to get 3 in
Nancy L. Denison said on 3/Sep/12
remember in Rocky Balboa , he was billed 5' 11" ? please! the man has height issues. He's barely taller than me, a 5'7" woman. He's 5' 8 1/2" tall. Great actor though. Great shape for 66 years old I must admit, but he just needs to accept that he's not a tall guy.
RisingForce said on 2/Sep/12
Danimal, you really see at least 4" in that scene at the start of the movie? I don't see Sly's head only coming up to about Liotta's eyes.
RisingForce said on 2/Sep/12
Dmeyer, I don't really understand why a 2" cowboy heel and 1" lift would only give 2.4". Wouldn't that give 3"? I often wear boots with 2.25" heels and 1" lifts and I was always under the impression I was getting 3"+. My uncle recently said he was measured and has shrunk an inch to 5'9" and in my boots/lifts I was at least an inch taller than him in sandals, maybe more yet when I took off my boots I was about an inch shorter.
Editor Rob said on 2/Sep/12
I was flicking through an old magazine and it mentioned on filming Rambo he damaged back muscles and cracked a vertebrae...

Sly looks an inch taller than DeNiro and is about 2 inches shorter than Liotta in CopLand, so 5'9 sounds right.
NO HE IS NOT 2" shorter than Liotta in Copland. My GOD, you have NO business discussing height if all you are seeing is a 2" height difference. Liotta TOWERS Sly in Copland (minimum 4" on him).. WATCH THE MOVIE with your blind fold off!!
Dmeyer said on 1/Sep/12
Sly 175-175.5cm peak now 174-174.5cm 1cm loss is a good call for sly at Late 60s average loss is around 1.1 in 2.8cm hé did well
Dmeyer said on 1/Sep/12
Jack i think they are indeed normal shoes arnie has 0.5 in more shoes
