Can I just say that lifts don't work magic. Yes they can make you appear a little taller but it doesn't change your torso length and frame. Stallone in my view looked a lot shorter in the 80s than he does today. But if Stallone was a little guy you could see it in his frame and he just isn't. He has the frame of a stocky 5'10" guy. Sure the guy obviously wears lifts to often look in the 6'0"-6'1" range but he consistently looks 5'11" in a pair of good boots to me to rid of the 5'8" rumors. Stallone I'm certain has to be at least 5'9" barefoot to pull off a close 6'1" in munsters. By no "stretch" of the imagination it wouldn't be hard to think it possible that that Stallone has had stretching exercises in his work out regime to maximise his height and length of the spine, after all he does obviously look taller than he did in his younger years but I am certain he can't be under 5'9" barefoot to pull off 6'1" on a number of occasions.

Thanks Christian, but I defintley see Sly at about a half inch minimum taller there. Plus unless Perry is in Converse type sneakers or sandals, he likely has a little footwear advantage on Sly.
As far as that beach picture, well do you honestly think he's going to wear lifts on the beach?
In the Perry pictures I'm pretty sure he's liftless. Those look like half inch Converse, not Sly's elevator shoes.
SayHeyKid, in most of the pictures I post his footwear is known from other pictures from the same night. I just getting tired of posting them over, but I did post a shot of his shoes from the Rocky Balboa premiere(the picture with Lundgren). I know what his shoes looked like in the Tom Arnold picture as well because there are other pictures from that night on Getty Images, some of which show his height.

-RisingForce, great find with Stallone and Luke Perry. Luke is 177 cm barefoot, with normal shoes, just under 180 cm. In thoose pictures Sly and Perry look the same height. 5'10

Rising, regarding the Perry pictures and the picture of him and FLavin on the beach where Flavin is barefoot and Sly is in some sort of trainer. You can't look at a shoe front on and simply say "he is liftless" especially from the distance that these photos are taken at. They might be lifts or they might not be. I certainly wouldnt say they are flat shoes either without a side on shot.

Rising Force: I don't care, and neither should you, what Stallone "looks like" in any photo in which: (a) he has lifts, elevator shoes or is otherwise being "helped" by his footwear; or (b) you can't see his footwear. This whole exercise of attempting to deduce his height by working backwards (i.e., noting that he looks 6'0-6-1ish in a particular photo, though acknowledging that he has "help," and then concluding, in self-serving fashion, that he can't be getting more than 2 inches or so via his "help," and therefore must be 5'10ish) is nothing but circular argument and of no value.
If you want to post photos where we can Stallone's footwear and then make your argument, that's another thing altogether. I'd be the first to admit that his height can be difficult to pinpoint, even when relying on only those photos in which we can see Stallone's footwear and in which he's not otherwise getting any noticeable help. In other words, it's hard enough to nail it down looking at the relevant photos; the debate is surely not advanced by the string of photos in which we know he's getting help and/or in which we can't determine whether and/or the extent of his "help."

By the way I came across some things that suggest Sly is actually a little taller than 5-10 Luke Perry. These are from the same day that the pic vaj posted was from.
Click Here
Click Here
And before you use the excuse that Sly was wearing elevator shoes. He was in thin half inch Converse type shoes that day.
Click Here
Unless Perry was barefoot(which I doubt) then there's almost no chance Sly had a footwear advantage. He certainly looks 5-10.5, 5-10.75 now in that comparison to Perry. Perry was measured in socks at 5-10 on the Howard Stern show.

Rising Force, your pictures are really good to say that Sly is definitely as tall or even taller than Jen Flavin.
Under 5.9 is out of question now.

Thanks Lynn, I doubt it was a photoshopped. There are a few more from that. I didn't post it before because it didn't seem relevant for height comparison as she might be bending her legs.

Neither pictures look photoshopped to me. While he's taller in both the full body shot is better for height comparison because her leg seems straight unlike the other.

Rising Force: "Not all of those pictures are perfect?" You think? Talk about the understatement of the year. We can't see Stallone's footwear in ONE of the photos. As such, the photos are useless.
I never claimed he was liftless in them, but in a few of them he looks taller than her at events. She's 6 feet and likely wearing some sort of small heel. Even if she's wearing flats then he'd be reaching about 6-1 in a few of the pictures which backs up a 5-10ish Sly.

IF are you able to proof that this pic is not photoshopped, than I must admit there is a good chance that Sly is 5'10".

I say this because there are all around the net modified pic of Sly and Claudia Schiffer to make him taller.
And still I don't believe Jen is 5'9". She seems to me 5'8"

Check out the image of him opposite Snipes in Demolition Man, Stallone has 3 inches on him easily, perhaps he was standing on a box??.

Brad sorry about the typo-reference coorect, should be correct. Sly is definately not 5'10" more 5'8.5-9", without lift!

Hes short no doubt about that. As a celebrity (and with his crazy action movie roles) he needs to be really tall in real life or so it seems to the media which picks on him alot for his shortness. If it wasn't for his lifts or crazy movie editing, his 5'9 height would be known and poor sly doesnt want that.

Here are some good pictures of Sly and Jennifer Flavin. They aren't posted much.
Sly with looser posture is looking down at her a bit.
Click Here
His sneakers seem pretty normal and he looks atleast 5'10", but what's interesting to note is how much longer her legs are than his. I think that fools a lot of people. He has very short legs in proportion to his height, but he has a long torso and very long arms, this combined with his muscular physique can make him seem a lot shorter.
Here he looks a couple of inches taller than her and she has the camera advantage
Click Here
While they're at the beach, they don't seem to be on the beach in that picture, they seem to be on solid ground looking at the area around them.
This shows what was one their feet. She's barefoot, and he defintley seems to be liftless, his sneakers seem pretty flat too.
Click Here
This last picture was not for height comparison but to show what was on their feet. Obviously a mid-stride beach picture where they aren't equal distances from the camera would be pretty bad for height comparison.

Obviously 2 pictues aren't conclusive but you must admit, those are good for supporting my argument.

don't forget that B. Nielsen herself stated that Sly is 5.9...She had no reason to lie. She could have make a laugh saying he's 5.7 or 5.8 but no, she said he's 5.9 in 2 occasions : on radio and on TV.
Let say he is 5.9 (probably 176 cm in the morning)

Not all of those pictures are perfect, but in quite a few of them he has no camera advantage and in many not that much of one. Certainly none like the Reagan picture, they're pretty much side by side in all of those.
Actually if you watch Cobra, Sly is taller throughout a lot of the movie, even in full body shots. I remember one scene where he was walking with Brigitte to his car and he was taller when they were standing still and walking. She was in white sneakers and he was in these. Click Here
I think the difference between Sly and Brigitte is identicle to the difference between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Sly & Mrs. Reagan are closer to the camera. Sly has never been 5' 9" in his life. Let him stare up at the baby, stand by Caan in spikes, poolside, beach, with mother. Catch him without the boost and he's caught. It says 5' 9" above, only a small "effect" notch up.

on that pic with the reagans:
come on now, sly and nancy davis are standing much closer to the camera. look how big their faces look compared to the president and bridgette. if anything, a better comparison for height purposes might be between mr reagan and bridgette. they are both listed as 6'1, and reagan is somehow taller by an inch even if we assume that bridgette is wearing some decent heels. so either she's not 6'1, or she's bending her knees heavily.
anyways, a horrible picture for height purposes all the way around.

You can have custom made boxing trainers too .... you know! Seems like that's wh Sly did. He was obviously wearing lifts in the Rocky series, but they weren't more than 2". So with lifts, he reaches 5'10-11" in the Rocky films. More recently he's turned to wearing mega-lifts! Giving him a boost of atleast 3-4". So he now looks 6'.

Fair enough derek d, but I really do think its virtually impossible to get the 3 inches unless your in boots or high sided shoes/sneakers. If the shoe looks 'undetectable' from the outside, 2 inches of 'hidden' lift will have your heel almost out of the back of the shoe, hence my reasoning you would have to build the outside up considerably, like this one,which gives you 2.4 ins from barefoot.
Click Here
You,can't get even another half inch lift inside as your heel would slip out of the shoe.To get 3 inches you'd need to go to these

Rising, about the Tango and Cash scenes you say that while they were walking barefoot Sly seemed taller but then you shun all the "mid stride" pics that are posted saying that its an unfair way to judge height. Shoudnt the same apply to the Tango and Cash scene?
Also i don't expect you to see 4 inches potential difference in the Rocky 3 scene, as that would pretty much mean you now think Sly is 5'9". But i see about a 2 inch physical difference, combined with Weather's bent kneesm slouched neck, back leaned to the wall, camera favouring Sly, i can easily see Weathers gaining an extra 2 inches factoring that. I doubt Weathers was ever 6'2 also, but thats my opinion.

What's a noob? Hey Rising, look at Sly's eyes. That's not 5' 11" looking up at the baby. He got caught. Great photo Mickey, he got caught again. Put Sly in spikes next to Caan, you not worry about thinking just under 5' 11". Weathers was 5" taller than Sly in '75 in barefeet. I shoulda asked Stabler last sunday night at Caesars how tall Weathers was.

theres some noob on youtube going all over the stallone vids saying sly is 5'10 3/4. he goes by the name of matt. u guys figure it out.
Interesting you say that. There's also a character called 'rambofirstbloodpt2' who registered just over a month ago (dec 08) on the StalloneZone forum (running since 1996, probably the biggest stallone forum) and half his posts are just about how Stallone is 5'10 3/4 and how he matches up to Arnold now etc etc To the point where other fans, most of whom have no interest in height, couldn't understand how certain non height related threads kept being diverted to Sly's height and even asked for them to be locked. I've been on that forum for five years (I'm actually a huge fan of Sly regardless of my opinion of his height) and its amazing how only in the last month and a half you keep reading how tall Sly is and how he really is 5'10.75 or at least 5'10+.
Any idea who this character might be RisingForce?

Sly wore custom boots with Dolph. Big wedge like all the films. He's short. I love that photo with Jennifer & the baby. Crucified without the customs. That one's for Rising.
Not even close. Click Here
Both in flat shoes. And in shoes flat shoes he's 6 inches max shorter. Click Here
In elevator shoes he comes only about 3 inches shorter. Click Here
There are some things that place Sly in the 5-9ish range, but comparing him to Dolph isn't one of them. In flat boxing shoes he looked atleast 5-10 and in elevator shoes he looked around 6-2 next to Dolph.

Mickey, I'm sorry but I can't see anyway that Weathers stretchs out to 4 inches taller than Sly in those pictures. Besides Weathers at his peak was taller than 6-1 flat likely. On the weathers page, Rob use to say that he was a little taller in his peak at the top. Which makes sense because he said he was the same height as Arnold and they looked the same height in Predator. With that being said, I can't see Carl stretching to more than 3 inches taller than Sly.
As far as the shower scene well they did look like they could be the same height, but walking barefoot Sly seemed atleast an inch taller to me, especially because of Kurt's hair.
As far as Converse, well Sly didn't always wear the hightop Converse and he had to run in them, plus this seemed to be before Sly's obsession with looking taller. Back in the 70's I don't think anyone is going to think of stuffing lifts in Converse, especially since every man wore big heeled boots most of the time anyway.
And yes Tellem, that is me on some of those videos. I've already said on this page that I've argued with Brad on some videos about that, because he goes around on random videos saying things like "5-8 max, he's short in eveyr motion picture", even when the video has nothing to do with his height. I've mentioned that before as a reason why Brad clearly has something against Sly. Noob? How old are you?

Sly wore custom boots with Dolph. Big wedge like all the films. He's short. I love that photo with Jennifer & the baby. Crucified without the customs. That one's for Rising.

Um rising..
Kurt Russel did appear taller/same height as Sly as i have shown in the past. You seem to stick with the one or two pics that show Sly taller but thats only because Russel is slouching his neck bigtime.
Also, i wouldn't call eithr of you beach pictures with Flavin any good either. One of them has her standing behind Sly, and in the other she is bending her knees and we cant see what kind of ground advantage there is. And they are on the beach.
The photo where Sly and Flavin are most likely barefoot is the best, Flavin is taller.
Click Here
Also i havent seen the whole scene of the Specialist, im sure i could find some shots of Stone looking same height as Sly.
Also being 2 inches shorter than a bent knee, neck slouched 6'1" Carl Williams could be 5'9", my opinion. to mention the camera advantage given to Sly.
Also another poster showed us how easy it was to add 2-3 inches of lift into converse shoes very easily and comfortably at a minimum of cost, so i dont doubt Sly can. Anyone remember who the poster was?

On the site their avertised as 2.8 inches. In reality, they give 1.75 from barefoot,about 0.5 inch over a normal dress shoe. Never believe claimed gains from adverts. To get 3 inches you'd have to have a 2 inch outer heel minimum. I don't think you can do it in a shoe. I've tried.
Parker - Your actually right about all of that, my mistake.... But the ones that are listed as 3 inches (which in reality gives more like 2 inches over barefoot height) can be increased with possibly another another insole or sometime... I mean anyone can do it and its possible Sly may do that sometimes as well...

And no Sly wouldn't fake looking short, but I never claimed he was when he looks shorter.
First of all vaj posted a lot of mid-stride pictures. Everyone's height changes a lot between the high and low point of their stride, this is common knowledge. Then consider that Sly was farther from the camera in a handful of pcitures vaj posted which also make you look shorter.
Then don't forget that Sly isn't the only star who wears lifts.
Zach and Mickey make good arguments for Sly being no more than about 5-9, and I respect their opinions, but vaj's arguments and JTRon's arguments don't back much up.
I've given a good explanation for everything thrown at me. However I have yet to hear a good explanation for the Tom Arnold and Dolph Lundgren pictures where Sly looks 6-2, the Rocky Balboa premiere in general, the picture of Sly in slippers next to Carl Weathers or Sly looking about 5-11 in sandals next to Glenn.

Hey JTRoN just say "Caan in golf shoes, literally the same height". Saves words and effort on the keyboard. I think he really needs to market those NYC sandals. He's shorter than Luke Perry. At close to 5' 11" he'd own Stone in the shower, sorry, she must have had her heels on. I'd pay to see Caan or Hopper in slippers next to Weathers.

And while he looks 5-9.5 with 5-10 measured Luke Perry we can't see their footwear. Sly could be in normal 1 inch shoes and Perry could easily be in 2 inch cowboy boy heels. That could make a 5-10 guy look a little taller than a 5-10.5 guy. So while he looks 5-9.5 in that picture with Perry it's far from conclusive and one of the few times he convincingly looks under 5-10. There are times when he looks 5-9ish, but there are equally as many times where he looks 6-1+ in lifts or 5-10+ in what appear to be liftless shoes.
Maybe you could say he rarely looks under 5-10 because he's almost always wearing lifts, but in quite a few of the limtied shots we have of him in probably liftless shoes he also looks 5-10 or taller.

JTRoN you're delusional.
At your request I drew the line from Dolph's chin.
Click Here
Yeah, that's sure resting on Sly's head....what a joke.
The tip toes excuse is just pathetic. There's no way, I repeat no way he's going to stand on his tip toes with cameras around.
You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. I've posted numerous pictures of him looking 5-10, 5-11 in flat footwear and then 6-1, 6-2 in elevator shoes. Glenn has met him well over a dozen times in all kinds of footwear, he has a couple of pictures with him and is convinced he's atleast 5-10. What does that tell you?
As far as the short pictures? Well he pretty never looks under 5-9 in any good angle pictures and even those pictures aren't that common. And if you're telling me that a guy like Sly who has been photographed millions of times won't look an inch or 2 shorter than he is once in a while? That's absurd.
I'm sorry but you're wrong and you didn't make a single valid point.

RisingForce stop posting the same pictures over and over and over again that prove nothing, the beach pictures are complete waste for obvious reason their standing on sand! He's barely 1 inch taller then Stone in that scene, he's same height as Kurt in Tango & Cash shower scene, you catch these angles where he appears taller, that's pretty much your only pictures actually, angles and other stuff that's in Sly's favor.
Click Here Click Here Draw a line on those pictures, Dolph could rest his chin on Sly's head if he wanted to.
But seriously I'm not sure what your obsession is with insisting he's in the 5'10 range, you see pictures of a short Sly, and decent pictures for judging as well and then you post stupid pictures of the guy walking on a beach where the ground isn't even level and there's holes and bumps, nice logic.
And yes, you do the math, how does a guy in lifts with constant military posture and always using camera and god knows what other tactics look 6ft one second and then shorter then Luke Perry the next???
Sorry but he can fake and fool people like you into thinking he's a whopping 6'1 but in reality or for those with common sense can see he's somewhere in the 5'8.5 - 5'9.5 range at most. I have friends that are 5'10 and change and they never look as short as Sly does in person or in pictures.
Your pictures of Sly without showing ground or shoes is also useless, the man could and i would believe it, be standing on his tippy toes or wearing massive lifts (as usual) with someone in regular to no shoes at all who knows, but one thing for sure, can't trust Sly's shoes. Hell the picture of Glenn proves you wrong, a weak 5'8 - 5'7.5 is roughly 1" shorter then Sly (minus his hair and Sly is a tad closer)
So I really don't care how many pictures you post and how many times you post them over and over of Sly "appearing" this tall and that tall, who cares its fake, the truth comes from pictures like Vaj's posts, where he can't and sure as hell wouldn't fake looking short, those rare pictures are his real height to be judging. Ever notice how sad his face looks too when he's in a picture liftless? its priceless

Wow, I just saw that someone thought this was 11 inches...
Click Here
That's 6 inches MAX.
Don't believe me?
Click Here
Sly's head isn't much below Lundgren's eyes. If it was 11 inches then his HEAD would be an inch or 2 below Lundgren's chin. Sly's lower eye is up to Lundgren's chin, nevermind his head which is well above Dolph's chin.
So 6 inches shorter than a 6-4.75 man. Hmmm you do the math.

I could post even more of Sly looking 5-10, 5-11 in Converse as well.
The fact is that in barefeet, sandals or slippers he usually looks 5-10, 5-11 so he most likely is. That adds up with him looking 6-1 in lifts.
vaj, I know he's in big lifts when he looks to be 6-1 in lifts, but if we agreed that his elevator shoes add 3 inches then how could he be under 5-10 and look 6-1? You didn't explain that. Before you post anything else explain that.
And to those who say a 5-10.75 wouldn't wear lifts as much as Sly. That's horrible logic. Look at 5-11ish Burt Reynolds who wore boots with bigger lifts and heels than Sly or Brad Pitt who is listed here at 5-11. Hell even John Wayne at 6-4 wore lifts and Vin Diesel who is listed here at 6 foot wears boots bigger than Sly's.

This pic with Luke Perry is very interesting. I know for a fact since I worked with Mr Perry that he is 177-178 cm. On this pic Sly is shorter. Perry is with normal shoes 179 cm give or take, Stallone must bee wearing normal shoes standing next to him. 5'9'' tops for Sly according to that pic, but then again, it is a picture and I know pictures can bee very misleading.

Rising Fore your in denial big time, how many 5'10.75 guys can you think of that wear lifts and are height obsessed as Sly? The times Sly can look tall in pictures are easily debatable, he can fake looking tall but the short sightings and pictures ring more truth.
Now lets see, its pretty simple just do the math. The tallest I think he looks in lifts is 5'11, which is an easy height to be mistaken for 6ft. (I am 182 and get 6-6'1 alot and can look taller in pictures)
Now take a 5'11 Sly in lifts, remove say 2 inches to be safe and you get 5'9.
Only problem is, his height fluctuates in difference so much and so drastically it's obvious 1) he wears lifts and 2) the difference in lowest height to tallest is probably whats in his lifts. Ex 5'8 and 5'9 sightings/pictures to 5'11 and 6'0, sounds to me like he owns a pair or two of 3-4 inch lifts.
So Question is, how much height is he hiding in those elevator shoes.

Stallone may have been 5'9.5 at his peek height so this could be why he claimed 5'10 and 5'10.5. Nowadays he's probably more like 5'8 barefoot.

A leg extension surgery is very invasiv... It takes 6 months at least of suffer. It takes years after that to walk normally...

Editor Rob I don't think there's no period of time where he has hid away from public for 6 months. He'd need that just to get walking again properly.
I think he may have done lots of stretching and exercise to try to not lose any height. He's in remarkable shape for his age.

It's possible Danimal, but sometimes he looked tall back in the 80's so I'm not sure. I think now he just wears bigger lifts, or lifts more often than he did in the 80's. He's also gotten a lot bigger as far as weight, especially after the remake of Get Carter. His much broader upper body could give the illusion that he's taller.

MANY people on getbig.com (the world's BEST bodybuilding site) that Sly HAS HAD the leg extension surgery and MANY people apparently in asia and europe have it.

The photo of him with his ex girlfriend Janice is killer. She owns him and she's 5' 9.5". He needs those NYC sandals more than anything. Look at him with Caan. That says it all. If you think Caan is 5' 11.5" go ahead and believe it.

The fact is that in barefeet, sandals or slippers he usually looks 5-10, 5-11 so he most likely is. That adds up with him looking 6-1 in lifts.
vaj, I know he's in big lifts when he looks to be 6-1 in lifts, but if we agreed that his elevator shoes add 3 inches then how could he be under 5-10 and look 6-1? You didn't explain that. Before you post anything else explain that.

Here is a recent picture with his wife Flavin at a event.... Something I'm surprised no one here has mentioned before is the fact that she is ALWAYS bending her knees in pictures with him when she wears heels. Usually her dress is covering her legs but check out ANY picture posted here with him and her and you will see it. It takes around 2 inches off of her height. In the recent picture I just posted, it looks like she really has to go to the bathroom or something lol she looks kind of ridiculous no offense.

W. - Good post with the link. Parker - I have read Rob's article and I definitely see your point but check out W.'s link. It shows that it is true that you can get 3 inches out of relatively low cut dress shoes, of course not real ones (elevator shoes). But thats not what were talking about, these "elevator" dress shoes are pretty low cut for what they are and could definitely pass for real ones. But I know real dress shoes when I see them, just not everyone else does though.

I have been reading the discussion about Stallone for some time now, and one recurring thought keeps coming to mind, previously expressed by derek d, namely the logical need to simply "throw out" from consideration all photos in which Sly is obviously being "assisted" via footwear. It's not as difficult as it seems.
In short, there are, roughly speaking, two categories of pictures of Stallone, the first of the categories being the "short" one (i.e., where he looks anywhere from say 5'7"-5'9"), and the second, taller "category" in which he looks 5'10" plus, up to over 6 feet at times, depending on the footwear. Since everybody, even Sly's number one sycophant RisingForce, admits that Sly is being "helped" in those photos in which he stacks up favorably to documented, legitimate 6 footers and up, those photos MUST BE DISREGARDED (e.g., Dolph photo). In horse racing, we call it a "throw out."
There is no point arguing, back and forth, on the amount of help that he's getting in those photos since no agreement will ever be reached on the matter, particularly since people have agendas. RisingForce's overall point is not that Stallone is not being "helped" but, rather, that he can only be "helped" so much, and that a man 5'8-5'9 cannot be "made" to look 6 feet. I don't pretend to know how much "help" Sly is getting in the various photos in which he is obviously getting some "help," and I doubt, on either side of the debate, that anybody knows for certain what is in his shoes. That is precisely the point. We just don't know. What we do, however, know is that he's getting "help" in certain photos, which must therefore, by definition, be disregarded.
By his own admission, the photos upon which RisingForce is relying for his 5'10.75 claims are fake and phony. The exercise of theorizing that, even though the evidence is fake, "I can still tell that he's a certain height," is pure folly.
Bottom line: look at the pictures where at least it's not obvious that Stallone is getting "help," and you can begin to pinpoint his height. I am not one of those people who want to go overboard about how "short" Stallone is, but I do find some of the public comments from various people to be quite instructive, even if not dispositive (see, e.g, Janice's statement that she almost laughed about how short he was). Yes, RisingForce, several of the "legitimate" photos (i.e., those where Sly is not hovering anywhere near the 6 foot mark) have variables to them such that one will not be able to pinpoint to near certainty his exact height, but they are still highly relevant and probative nonetheless. The Ernie Els photos come to mind. Yes, they are not perfect, yes there are variables, but they are photos of a man in golf shoes getting absolutely dwarfed by a documented 6'3" man in a manner that a 5'11ish man would never be. The older photos, before Stallone became larger than life, are also probative.
Editor Rob is probably close to spot on in his 5'9" estimate, though I suspect he's closer to 5'8" barefoot. I would never, however, say that I'm certain about my estimation, as we are dealing, in all cases, with non-dispositive evidence that greatly varies.

Yeah Stallone looks 5'11 next to Arnold but it's a premiere so he's probably wearing lifts. 5'9 for Stallone barefoot.

Military posture does not make you grow an inch. If you measure 5'8 with your feet flat on the floor, and then measure yourself with 'military posture'and your 5'9, as long as your heel doses not rise from the floor, you are 5'9. You under measured yourself at 5'8.

Good picture Dural, 3 inches is very possible for Sly, but not much more than that. However I think those shoes are likely closer to 2.5" or 2.75" This is what Rob said about those shoes in this picture. Click Here
"Look at the ankle position compared to Katzenberg's, it could be 1.5 inches more."
So 1.5" more than the normal 1", 1.25" shoes that the other guy was wearing means that likely 2.5", 2.75" for Sly's shoes.
To Sly's credit though, he wasn't struggling to barely look 5-10, 5-11 in those shoes. Here he is from that same night next to Denzel Washington who is almost surely atleast 6 feet and very possibly 6-1.
Click Here
Click Here
Really he doesn't look more than half an inch shorter and he likely has about a 1.5" footwear advantage. So barefoot I'd say Sly is 2 inches shorter than Denzel.
Now this is an example of Sly with legit 3 inch elevator shoes.
Click Here
But in those he was looking even taller than he did at the Laker game.
Here he is that night with 6-4, 6-5 Dolph Lundgren
Click Here
Click Here
If you didn't know what his shoes were like then you'd think he was atleast 6 feet next to Denzel. If you didn't know what his shoes were like next to Lundgren and Tarver you'd think he was no less than 6'1". Often when he wears those shoes he can pass for a 6 foot or 6-1 guy. If he was usually wearing those monster shoes and just passing for 5-10, 5-11 then I'd agree that he likely was no more than 5'9". But since we're all in agreement that his really big elevator shoes are about 3 inches then I don't see that as likely. Tom Cruise has worn huge shoes and he never looks nearly as tall as Sly does.

Yep i've seen that picture before, something tells me Brigitte could be bending her knees to make Sly look taller, tall chicks tend to do that in photos. Could be slouching her neck too, as her shoulders are more then 1.5 inches higher than Sly's. Good pic though and i can see why you would use it to back up your arguement. But to me Brigitte is not standing her tallest there.
With the Jen picture we can see her shoulders are higher then his, and Sly is standing straigt while Jen has an arc in her back.
Parker, while Military stature does not give you an additional inch of height, it can give you an inch or two advantage over someone who is standing casual or slouching.
Yep i've seen that picture before, something tells me Brigitte could be bending her knees to make Sly look taller, tall chicks tend to do that in photos.

Mikey, is that really jennifer flavin in that picture? Doesn't really look like her... And Parker, 3 inches is easy to get out of shoes, if you have the right ones.

That's one picture Mickey. We also have a picture where he's just as likely if not more likely to be barefoot and he looks atleast 5-10.5 with Brigitte Nielsen.
Click Here
The chances that he's wearing anything on his feet there are slim, especially since he has been seen barefoot with his wives. Yet he looks an inch or an inch and a half shorter than Brigitte.

Good post vaj. Two things I would say though. Military posture does not make you grow an inch. If you measure 5'8 with your feet flat on the floor, and then measure yourself with 'military posture'and your 5'9, as long as your heel doses not rise from the floor, you are 5'9. You under measured yourself at 5'8.
Second point. I don't believe you can get 3 inches out of trainers or shoes. 2.5ins maximum in my opinion. These shoes give you 3 inches:

Do you really think Sly gets 3 inches out of shoes?
In my opinion Sly is never under 5'9 whatever time measured.

stallone weighed 160-165lbs in rocky 3
if you met a guy who was 5,10 and 165 with a slim build i think he could seem very small, he could easily look 5'9.
I believe sly is 5'10

Rising, while you did disprove some of the pictures, you can't really argue that Sly doesn't look shorter then Jen here, both of them most likely barefoot:

Also the picture of Frank Stallone towering Sly, and Sly is in front of him(granted they are in mid stride but he towers him by alot).
Also if you want to go by what Glenn says about Duvall then you also have to consider he has said :
Glenn says on 4/Dec/06
In his youth he was close to 5-10,and did look this in the early 90s.got him 2 weeks ago and he looked 5-9.
While there is one picture of Sly and Caan with Sly looking taller. I have shown you several pics(the one with Caan with golf stick in hand) where a hunched over Caan was shockingly the same height as a military standing Sly and(2 with Mark Walhberg) where Caan was a hair shorter than Sly. You believe Caan is 5'10", while the majority here seems to disagree. Not gloating or anything.
In regard to my opinion on Sly's height. He could probably be something like 5'9.25" in the morning, 5'9" during the day, and sips into the high 5'8" mark at night. Nothing like 5'8" flat or lower, but i could see him being 5'8.5 after a long day. 5'9.5" morning just seems too high for me.

Vaj,
Those are pretty d@mn convincing pictures. I won't deny that Sly appears 5'10 on some of his pictures. But its photos like these that confirm that sly doesn't appear CONSISTENTLY tall as his 5'10 claims. Being a legit certain height requires that you must CONSISTENTLY look that height. But his height fluctuates so much it's unbelievable.
The photos that stood out were:
1. picture with frank with their backs against each other.
I see a 1.5 inch difference there. Probably no chance that Frank has footwear advantage. It's impossible to have footwear advantage on sly lol. Either frank has matched sly's munsters or both or wearing regular footwear. either way, frank is noticeably taller.
2. Sly walking in his trainers with his ex-girlfriend Janice
His legs look remarkably short there. You can do all the math with possible ground tilted toward janice, sly's posture, sly in his mid stride and what not but there is no chance stallone is 5'10 there. footwear evidence is indisputable. sly is 5'9 at best in that photo and very possibly even shorter.
for every picture with sly in his munsters and his usual military posture trying convey that he's an above average tall guy, there are pictures like these that crush his pipe dreams. Going back to his picture with janice and seeing the length of his legs again, i would have to say that there is a very good chance that sly got his legs extended. going by his movie credits, he did have a hiatus between 2003 and 2005 so that notion is not so far fetched especially considering how paranoid he is with his height.

I know Vaj is trying to make Sly look shorter than his 5'9 listed height but these "short pictures" of Sly in my opinion are more valuable than "taller" pictures... I say that because pictures where he is obviously in lifts, we do not know the exact amount of inches he is getting from them. As a person, you cannot appear shorter than you really are, which is why we should pay more attention to these pictures where he is shorter than usually and clearly not in lifts... Just think about it. Anybody can/will appear taller in lifts. I still think 5'9 is possible but 5'8 is a little too low, 5'8.5 at the very worst.

Some really nice finds there Vaj. Theres an interview with Janice Dickenson where she does a runs down of the men she has slept with and says:
Warren Beatty, I decided, was too good-looking; Dustin Hoffman too short; Robin Williams too frenetic; and Jack Nicholson too much of a wolf.
She then says :I didn't recognise him until I took a closer look. It was Sylvester Stallone. I couldn't believe how short he was and had to stifle a laugh.
Funny how she puts Stallone into the short category with Dustin Hoffman(5'5"-5'6"), a man close to 5'11" would never be lumped into that category. Action star or not. Jason Stratham(Transporter, Crank) is about 5'9" and doesn't get as much heat as sly. Even Mark Wahlberg(the italian job, Max Payne) who is probably 5'8" doesn't get as much heat as Sly.

Good observations vaj. Caan is never 5'10 nowadays, may be his peak, but now he's around 5'9. If Sly was 5'10+ then he would never look as short as he looks without lifts.

By the way Sly's shoes with Shatner look normal. Look at the ankle position, nothing weird there.
And no vaj Glenn is 5-8. Rob is going to measure him around that mark. Oscar looked short in your picture because he was leaning, you're blind if you can't see that.

vaj, it's well documented that Arnold has lost a considerable amount of height since the 90's so that Tiger Woods picture is irrelevant to those 80's/90's pictures.
That picture of Caan, Phoenix and Wahlberg is horrendous. They're considerably closer to the camera than him.
Sly is looking down slightly in your first picture with Caan while he's looking up so if they come out the same height while doing that then that means Sly is a bit taller.
How do you know Sly has lifts in the second picture you posted? You can't see their feet.
Frank Stallone's height is hardly established as 5-10.5. He's listed on his own site at 6 feet, and he very well could be.
That picture with Janice Dickenson is TERRIBLE for comparing. They're in different parts of their strides. Take a video of people of similar height walking, you can get either to look taller in the picture depending on where they are in their stride. This happened when Mickey and myself took pictures from the video of Sly and Kurt Russell walking.
In one of the pictures you posted of Sly and Jennifer he's crossing his legs and leaning back against the side of the boat. If you think that's accurate for judging height then god help you.
Well I disproved just about every example. And there's no way he's 5-8 "barefooted".
Sly is 5-10.5, 5-10.75 out of bed barefoot and with his elevator shoes he can look 6-1. Just ask Tom Arnold, Michael Caine, Dolph Lundgren ect.

Fair enough Mickey, your picture with Duvall might be better than my pictures of Caan and Bruce, but my picture of Caan and Bruce is certainly better to judge than your picture of Caan and Willis.
How do we know that Robert Duvall is only 5-8.5, Glenn says he's 5-10. If Mark Wahlberg is 5-8 as he's listed here than Duvall looks 5-9.5 Click Here
But if you're going by the logic that full shots are the best then this would be the definitive shot of Sly and James Caan so far. Click Here
By the way Mickey, I know that you think Sly is 5-9, but do you mean morning, evening or afternoon height? As I've said when I say Sly is 5-10.75 I mean morning height.

A hunched over James Caan with walking stick in hand looks about the same height as Sly standing straight up. Maybe 5'10" for Caan and 5'10.75" for Sly is possible for you but i've seen enough evidence to show me that neither of them are near 5'10".

I saw the picture Rising, but alas, it is only one picture. The full shot of Caan and 5'8.5" Duvall is much better in my opinion, he does not look close to 5'10 in that one.

The camera is tilted in Bruce's favour but i still can't see 5'10 factoring in that. Caan has been known to wear lifts also.

Yeah Billy Dee Williams is a mystery. He was listed at 6-0 for years and Mr. R met him just a few years ago and said he still looked around 5-11. Keep in mind that Billy was already 69 by then too.
Time to put this 5-8 garbage to rest though.
Look at how well he could measure up to Arnold even in the 80's and 90's at times.
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here (Arnold is closer to the camera and Sly has loose posture yet Arnold is still only a couple of inches taller(1.5" eye level difference).
Look at the first 2 pictures. Sly looks max an inch and a half shorter when considering posture. In the first picture Sly has the posture advantage, but in the second picture Arnold does since he's tilting his head up.
A 5'8" man has NO chance of looking like that next to a 6'2" man unless the 6'2" man is barefoot and the 5'8" man is in not elevator shoes but 70's platform shoes.
Arnold obviously wasn't barefoot and I've never seen Sly wear platform shoes. The shortest Sly could be is a legit 5-9(meaning he never goes under that during the day), but I'd bet he's an inch taller than that.

Rising, comparing Caan to someone(in this case Arnie) whose height is all over the place does not mean Caan is 5'10'. Arnie is in the list of the most popular articles on this site because his height varies so much, he is an enigma. Some people even say he can look 5'11". Hell there is even another site just dedicated to Arnie's height. I very much doubt Caan is 5'10 and has not been for a while.

Compared to 5'9" Duvall(this site lists him at 5'8.5") Caan looks slightly shorter.

Hell there is even another site just dedicated to Arnie's height. I very much doubt Caan is 5'10 and has not been for a while.

Compared to 5'9" Duvall(this site lists him at 5'8.5") Caan looks slightly shorter.

Rising Force writes whole narratives by the paragraph and Brad's points in a few sentances are more conclusive. I've met Caan, in '06, he isn't even 5 feet nine and he was wearing big heel shoes to try to look taller at The Palms hotel in Las Vegas on his TV show. Sly looks like a short guy by the pool. People here think he is 5' 11" in sandals? He looks 5' 8" in barefeet by the pool with granny and that lady with baby.

arnold could be 5'11 today risingforce. But hear me out, caan WAS SHORTER THAN 5'10 BILLY DEE WILLIAMS IN BRIANS SONG. both men were at their peak around this time. i guess u putting james caan 5'10 makes sense to you, just so you can put sly at 5'10ish.

Vaj . . . Stallone is not 5'11 . . . I believe he is somewhere between 5'7 1/2 - 5'8 ish . . . add one inch of hair on his head, lifts and heels he prob gives the impression of 5'11 ish. I actually met the guy at that time there were always rumours that he was over 6 foot and some said he was 5'5, but he is prob between 5'7 - 5'8 without shoes or anything.

Joshua,
Are you sure Sly was only 1/2" taller than your brother who is 5'8"? Because Glenn swears Sly is 5'11" in sandals which I do not believe.
Glenn has a picture from that night.
Click Here
On the right Glenn(5-7 at the time) is tip toeing next to Sly who is wearing sandals. Sly is 4 inches taller, that backs up 5-10.75 for Sly.
Tellem, more evidence that Caan is 5-10. Caan and Bruce Willis(listed 5-11.5 here)

Exactly, with that bad foot there's no way he was in lifts.
On a biography of Sly I saw a week or 2 ago, many people who know him says he takes his golf game seriously. Lifts would hurt his game.

This is what i wrote before but the picture link was broken, should work now:
The first picture with Walhberg is pretty pointless, considering he is standing a fair bit behind and is slouching. You complained about someone posted the Sly and Denzel pic saying Sly was in the background(and rightfully so). This is not to the same degree but the same principal, you can't hypothesize how much taller Sly would be like that.
Caan's eye level is only slightly below Sly's, zoom in and you will see. Caan is standing behind Sly and Sly is standing as straight as can be, while Caan is fairly casual

Vibram, good point... If he's going to be with other celebrities on a golf course I really don't see why he wouldn't wear lifts, but eh who knows... He was seen in pictures wearing heeled shoes while playing soccer wasn't he? Theres really no way of knowing. One inch to even 2 inches lift wouldn't affect your game at golf, hell even 3 inches wouldn't really matter either lol, although I highly doubt he went that far.

Rising, If Stallone has been cuaght wearing lists picking up his groceries... why not at a golf event? Thats the mentality of the man. I'm sure a small lift (0.5 - 0.75") won't trouble ones feet through a haul of 18-round golf.

Shaun if Stallone is 5'7" then Carl Weathers is 5'10" and Robert Downey Jr is 5'5" you silly boy ! :P
Stallone is AROUND 5'10" judging by the majority of evidence. a 5'10.5" morning, 5'10" throughout the day and 5'9.5" evening is concievable. 5'7" though. I thought that had ended.

Theres about an inch and a half difference in eye level here between Sly and Mark. Sly is standing closer to the camera and is clearly straighter then Mark. I don't see 5'10". Mark would not even be hitting 5'8" with that posture.

Again Sly's eye line is only slightly above Caan's. Factor in Sly being closer to the camera and standing a bit straighter and you can have Sly at Caan's height of 5'9" or possibly shorter(what i believe his height is).
I already showed you the pic of Sly and Caan on the golf course and Caan was hunched over with a walking stick and was still Sly's height.

Sly is a solid inch taller. Caan is listed 5'9" here or 5'9.5" here for his peak. I think he's 5'9.5" or 5'10" though.

But the full body shot picture with Caan is really great evidence that Sly is indeed 5'10"+ without shoes.

Right Shean, well I got a 3inch tall action-figurine of Rambo back in the 80s. But since people are on average 5-9 these days and not 3inches like in the 80s, Sly had to wear lifts. Stallone must really be 3inches tall then, and that is a FACT! ;)
Hey Glenn, one question I've got for you, is was there any possibility Sly was wearing only 1inch lifts when you saw him? The reason I ask, is that I recall you've mentioning seeing him wear a lot of low-cut shoes and sandals and didn't see any noticable lifts. You saw him at around 5-10.5 with shoes like these I think you said. The reason I ask, is that to me and in my humble opinion, Sly is probably 5-9.5 at the most, and it would make sense to see him at 5-10.5 if he had small 1inch hidden lifts. I do know that small lifts like these are widely available in slippers and sandals these days, and are real difficult to spot, very well concealed. They even make flipflops with 1" lifts. Any possibility Sly could have been wearing not the usual large 3inch+ obvious ones, but just tiny little 1inch lifts when you saw him standing around 5-10.5-ish?

Stallone is not 5'7" and hasn't been since he was probably in his early to mid teens. Frank2 was the last regular poster to claim 5'7" for Sly.
There's a reason that nobody on this page claims under 5'8" for him anymore.
Unless you believe that he had lifts in his barefeet with his wife or Kurt Russell or that he has magic 6-7 inch elevator shoes then 5'7" is just laughable.

During the 1980's at Stallone's peak his stature was made at the Wax Museam in London . . . my family member visited it and said that Stallone was listed as 5'7.
That is his actual height, but I guess since people in general are taller now than they were 20 years ago, Stallone probably feels the "need" to look taller . . so he started using lifts.
I used to work at a popular Radio Station and I got a chance over the past few years to meet may celebrities, and I was surprised on how short some of them actually were . . . the truth is that there is alot of lying about height and looks in showbiz, most people will never get a chance to meet Stallone or other celebrities, so a celebrity can pretty much lie about anything and the general population will believe it
5'7 and that is a fact.

That pic of Sheen Perry and Sly is a bad one in my opinion. Simply comparing the size of Sly's head to Sheen's is no comparision either as Sly's whole body is also standing closer to the camera. My use in the original picture was showing that Sly should tower over 5'9" Sheen but he doesn't, he looks maybe 1.5 inches taller than a slouching Sheen. This is on the same night as the Tom Arnold picture, theoretically if Sly really was 6'1" that night, he should tower Sheen, which he doesn't. Thats my view.

Vibram, Sly looks taller than Kurt when they're walking side by side barefoot to the shower, and Kurt has much bigger hair.
As far as Sheen well he is slouching but he's leaning forward giving him even more of a camera advantage than just where he's standing. Overall that picture isn't as good of an indication of how tall Sly was that night in comparison to the Tom Arnold picture. I'm not saying it's worthless, just not as good for comparing heights as the Tom Arnold picture. I'd say Sly looks about an inch taller than Sheen in your picture
By the way Sheen's shoes look like Sly's, so he could be wearing lifts too. His legs did look unusually long in the picture you posted.

And of course it's possible that Sheen is 5'10" like he claims. I'd bet Sheen is a solid 5'9", but 5'10" wouldn't surprise me for him. He looks it sometimes and his proportions look more like a 5'10" man. With that being said I still would bet he's 5'9" and not 5'10". I'm only saying that 5'10" is possible.
Here is another picture of Sly and Charlie Sheen from that night.

Obviously Sly is closer to the camera and standing MUCH straighter, but you sure don't get the impression that Sheen would be near Sly's height from that picture even if he was standing as close as him. That's not a perfect picture, but it's interesting to note that if you copy and paste Sheen's head next to Sly's(lining up their chins) Sly's head is only about 1.5" max bigger. He comes out to atleast 5 inches taller initially. Take away about 1.5" for the camera and 1.5" for posture and Sly is still a couple of inches taller.
Tom Arnold and Sly both had excellent posture, neither had a noticeable camera advantage and the picture didn't seem tilted. Tom Arnold is listed here at 6'1" and he was wearing sneakers that night.
Sly didn't only look to be reaching 6'1" in lifts next to Tom, but he looked like a legit 6'1" man. I can't think of an explanation for that picture either, except that the ground MAY be off a little, but that would only be hypothetical like you brought up in the Caine picture, and less likely than the Caine picture as they're standing closer together.

Christian I feel the same way, I believe that he is on the average end on average, not on the short end of average (5'7 - 5'8.5), nor on the tall end of average, (5'10 ish - 5'11) but just plain average which is 5'9, and people find that boring and can't accept it. But of course thats just my opinion.

RisingForce seems to be in love with Stallone. He's written an essay's worth of comments on his height. It's not worth typing much on him due to his 3" lifts oneday, 1.5" lifts next; you just don't know what he's packing! The only legit pictures are barefoot, which, apart from the shower scene with Kurt Russell in Tango and Cash (Kurt = 5ft9; equal in height) are rare.

But in all those times he was wearing lifts. I have never seen him look 6ft if he wasn't in lifts. There have been times where he struggled to hit 6ft in massive lifts too.
In regards to the Tom Arnold pic...

Looks like 5'9" Charlie Sheen who is slouching should be upgraded to 6'2" also. Same night as the Tom Arnold picture. Sly looks a bit taller but is standing much straighter, Sheen a bit closer to the camera but slouching. If Sly was a true 6'1.5" that night he would absolutely tower 5'9" Sheen, which he doesnt. Even you agree Sheen is 5'9".

I don't know Mickey, draw a line from the top of his head. It goes above the start of her hairline which would likely be less than 1.5". The eye level looks like it'd be more, but Sly has a bigger forehead so it ends up as nothing more than an inch or an inch and a half max in my opinion. I'd go with an inch though.
That is among the shortest I've seen him though.
I truly think he's been able to pass himself off as a truly legit 6 footer like with Dolph, Tom Arnold, Michael Caine, Hulk Hogan as well as other times where I think he's just hovering around looking like a legit 6 footer like with Denzel, Willis and Seagal.
Here is one of the former, Sly and Ashton Kutcher.

Ashton is slouching and Sly is a little closer to the camera but he measures up much better than you'd expect him to next to 6-2.5(listed here) Ashton Kutcher.

RF i think there is more then one inch difference between Sly and Jennifer in my pic, more like 2, thats what u see.
In regards to the Caine picture, yeah thats probably one of the better ones that show him looking 6'1" in lifts. Although the ground could be suspect, thats just a hypothetical possibility.
I still don't think he can look like a legit 6 footer though, not with lifts.

that's a great pic mickey. i see a two inch difference there. plus sly seems to have normal footwear for once on that pic, and those dress shoes look like they give him 1.25 inches as rising said. he looks 5'10.5 ish compared to flavin who looks to be easily reaching 6 feet possibly 6'1 in that pic, which should put him in 5'9 ish territory without shoes.
i think 5'10.5 stallone with normal dress shoes puts him close to 6 ft, which should put him at virtually same height with jennifer or just a smidge shorter. but jennifer clearly has him by a couple of inches.

Again, look how long Sly's legs are in the pic with Claudia Schiffer. The man has a frame that can't really support really big lifts without being very noticable. He's definitely in the 5-9 range compared to Claudia. At his worst in the evening or with little sleep, he could very likely be around 174cm which could be confused for 5-8 (172.5cm). At his best, I think he may have been 176cm-177cm, which could be confused for 5-10 (177.5cm).

By the way here is Sly looking really tall near 6'1"(6'2" peak) Michael Caine.

I don't know if he stood on a box in the movie but he really did look about that close to Caine's height. I do remember scenes where it didn't appear he was standing on a box(although I can't remember if they were full body shots).
Here is a picture from the 1981 Victory premiere with Sly next to 6'2" Michael Caine.

Caine is oddly quite a bit closer to the camera and doesn't appear that much taller than Sly. I remember that you found this picture puzzling as well Mickey.
Sometimes Sly can really pass himself off as a legit six footer.

I thought the same thing Ben. I use to believe the short stories and now obviously I don't. I think many people picture Rocky or Rambo as a six footer. Especially Rambo. It didn't help also that Sly's "rival" in the 80's was Arnold who was about 6'2". I think that's what size people expect action stars, although I even heard short sightings for Arnold going back to the late 80's.
As far as the Schiffer picture, well there were many people(including guys who believe Sly to be 5'9") who said the picture was not them really standing next to eachother. Many times for magazines they'll shoot people seperate and edit them in together for a shot, this is especially common for movie posters and magazine covers. There was also another version of that Sly/Schiffer picture where Sly looked taller. Obviously that was fake, but they may have just edited them together for the shot either way.
Regarding that picture Mickey he does truly look an inch shorter. Best case for Sly in that picture(assuming Jennifer is 5'9") is that she's in 3.25" heels making her 6'0.25" and Sly is in 1" dress shoes. However that'd still make him closer to the 5'11" flat in the dress shoes which would put him clearly below 5'10.75" barefoot. I agree that unless Jennifer is taller than 5'9" there's no way he looks 5'10.75" there. That picture does point to a 5-9ish Stallone as his dress shoes probably are more like 1.25" than 1" flat and her heels probably are under 3"(although that's impossible to say because we can't see them), but because she rarely wears monster 3+ heels I assume she isn't there. I see her about an inch taller than him there, she most likely does have a footwear advantage though. I've never denied that he can look 5-9ish at times though. I just think that those times are rare when there are no angle explanations/posture ect. That however is one of them as the angle appears to be good and it seems he's standing straight.
Regarding the beach picture I base that the ground is more even on the fact that in the picture on the left his front leg is much farther ahead of hers while on the left they seem to be standing closer with both legs.

The man above, Glenn, is 5'8". So Sly is about 5'11".
Lol if you have been posting here for a while you would know that it isn't that simple. True, he looks 5'10 ish in Glenn's picture but how about the countless other pictures that are around where his height fluctuates? Not to forget with Sly's tendency to wears lifts makes pictures somewhat useless to judge his height.

Interesting pic Mikey, that seems to be the shortest he has looked next to Flavin. He actually seems to be wearing normal dress shoes for once too.... to me looks no less than 5'9, assuming no lifts are inside.

I remember the mid 80's and when i was around 10yrs old and all my friends used to talk about how short stallone was (without actually knowing)it was almost an urban myth.
Reading hogans book as well wher he says how small stallone is in rocky 3, i always thought he was 5'9, that went down to 5'7 after reading hogans book.
It seems everyone just thinks stallones short, maybe because when he first made it big in the 70's everyone thought he was 6'2 and was shocked to find the all powerfull rocky well under 6ft.
It almost seems the saying that he's a short guy has become ingrained in society.
After years of being a stallone fan and still loving his films today (which in my opinion stand up to the test of time far better then arnolds) and with all the pics one here im now convinced he's 5'10.
Yes he sometimes wears lifts boosting him to 6ft and making him nearly arnolds heights and closing the gap between him and dolph or hogan, but even without the lifts i could see 5'10.
Cant wait for the expendables!

Exactly, many of you count evening height anyway. 5'10.5"/5'10.75" morning height matches up perfectly with a 5'10" evening height.
Don't forget that Leung also saw Sly at 5'10" and Leung uses his own evening height of 5'11.5".
I think Sly is 5'10" in the evening and 5'10.5"/5'10.75" out of bed.

RF i dont know why you are taking the beach picture so serious. Its on the beach. Also how do you the ground on the right beach picture is not as sloped as the pic on the left? Do you have x-ray vision?
Going by that logic i could say Sly is same height or shorter thn Jennifer cause the other picture certainly shows that is the case, but i see the flaws in BOTH the pictures and don't use any to back up my case.
Click Here
If Sly was 5'10.75" then he would easily be 6ft in dress shoes(he might be in lifts but we will say dress shoes to be safe). That would make Jennifer at least 6'2" in this picture. Kind of hard to believe for me. Considering he should already have at least 1.75" on her from the start(if he is 5'10.75" and she is 5'9"), her heels would not give her that much height over him when he is in dress shoes himself.

What the "tall" Sly supporters have to realize is that Sly has been proven shorter then his wife in some pics with the angles favoring him, and yes hes taller then her too sometimes, but I mean come on how can he can be 2 inches shorter then his wife, but 1 inch taller then Willis (5'11/6)??? and pretty close to Denzel/Arnold...if you put Willis/Arnold/Denzel next to Sly's wife no way there shorter then her

Dural pics like your first one is why Im very skeptical of the 5'10 plus, Sly is closer to the camera then his wife hes in regular sneakers (shockingly) shes in small heels shes def taller, Ill buy 5'9 for her, and I think Glenn said himself (5'8) was very similiar to Jenn, but Sly is always taller then Glenn but can be tied/shorter/taller then his wife....Im open to 5'8.5 to 5'10 for Sly.... I do find 5'7 silly and if Sly was anything over 5'10 hed claim 5'11 or 6 no doubt

Dural, there are plenty of other pictures that show Sly taller. Don't forget that women wear heels.
There are plenty of pictures where Sly is actually taller than her even while she's wearing heels.
The barefoot pictures suggest that he's taller too.

zach-yeah,i dont remember her being that tall.around my height.which could mean she was 5-9.but i could swear she looked 5-7 at times.but that would make sly 5-7 and thats impossible.with all due respect to those that think so.even brads 5-8.5 makes more sense.but he really is around 5-10.im confident on betting on that if i had money.i took a photo with his brother,and lost it in my apartment immediately.never to be seen again.if i find it ill post.cant remember what i said for him.5-11 to 6-1.in heels.sly seemed a possible 5-9 around his brother at one point.but i think he was truly liftless at that moment.my 5-10,5-11 friends also look 5-9 around me and others,with bizzare posture.so i cant say that was legit.sly also made this bizzare,funny military pose with nobody around but me.lol.it was classic.then he was back to 5-10ish.lol.

Mr R, good to see you posting here again. Hope your health has improved. Didn't realise you'd met Sly too, would you mind describing your experience of meeting him in more detail?
So from the people who have seen Sly face to face on these forums, their estimates are:
Glenn: 5'10.75
Leung: 5'10
Mr R: 5'9
Mamun: 5'8
Frank: 5'7
Re Flavin, I think Glenn said she was about his height, or between 5'7-9 when he saw her in New York last year, and that Sly towered over her, although wearing his munster trainers.

Cannot understand this discussion.
The man above, Glenn, is 5'8". So Sly is about 5'11".

Glenn, I mean if he's 5ft 10.75 he would never have said 5ft 10. He's making allowances for his large footwear with the taller statement. I'm not saying he's 5ft 7 like some, I just think 5ft 10 barefoot is an absolute maximum and Rob is probably correct all IMHO!

Dural...on the Rocky Balboa pic you put, you forget that sly is in boxing shoes so almost barefoot (boxing shoes have 0 Lift Inside) when Flavin obviously is with shoes...
Look at the pics from beach here under already posted and you will see that they have the same height.
Sly is at least 5.9 today and was probably a little taller at 30 or 40 YO
Sly appears smaller because he's very wide but when you're close to him, you realize he's average evn tall with his special shoes

I don't buy that Flavin is taller.
Click Here
On the right Sly is tilting his head down and more downhill yet they still look about the same height as Derek D pointed out. Surely with his head up and standing as high as her, he'd be taller.
In the picture on the right she's bending her knees but also stretching her neck. This time Sly is a little higher, but the ground difference isn't as big as the other picture. Before factoring in these things Flavin's head is a little above Sly's eyebrows.
Barefoot he looks 5'10.5" if she's 5'9".
I still say he's 5'10.75" when he wakes and more like 5'10" by the evening, so I agree with leonari.

I have never seen a guy at over 62 (he is not 63) years of age have that kind of body. His face looks better sure, but the body is unreal for this age. Think of any 62 year old you know...It's not a very nice sight most of the time. Aging is normal but Sly does a great job fighting it. Whatever he does: he must do a lot of things right. He is my inspiration and has been for over 20 years now... Can't wait for the expandables. Oh yeah: He is 5'10

The beach picture where Sly is looking down, he looks really close in height as Flavin.... And she has the slope advantage as well.... Meaning this is proof he is at least 5'9... Possibly the best barefoot picture of them too.

Yes Glenn that is a recent picture, it's from this month I know. I think his face looks better because he's off the HGH or whatever else he may have been taking. He changed his lean physique to a bulkier physique for the last Rambo and his face got bloated.
Now he's leaner again(probably 175 pounds) and he looks much better than he has in years.

The problem with Mel it seems is that you usually saw him in cowboy boots. if you saw him in sandals like when you saw Sly then you might know better.
Cowboy boots are always tricky because you never know if someone has lifts in them(except when they make it obvious like Burt Reynolds).

Well 195 cm translates to 6'4.75" which is pretty much 6'5". So around 6'5" peak anyway for Lundgren.

Here are some with lifts and without lifts examples.
Sly and Dolph in equally flat boxing shoes.
Click Here
Dolph is 6" taller when they stand facing eachother.
Click Here
Now at the Rocky Balboa premiere
Click Here
Their shoes
Click Here
Click Here
Dolph also said that he was 195 cm(6'4.75") peak and now he's 193-194 cm(6'4"-6'4.5"). So lets assume that Rob's listing of 6'4.25" is now correct for Dolph.
Sly in liftless slippers next to Carl Weathers who is about 6'1.5". Sly looks less than 3" shorter.
Click Here
Now in a recent picture(almost surely in lifts).
Click Here
So lets recap. In even shoes he's 6" max shorter than 6'4.75" Dolph Lundgren. At the Rocky Balboa premiere Sly was about 3" shorter. Dolph was in normal 1"/1.25" dress shoes, Sly was in monster elevator shoes with lifts that maybe added 3"/3.25". So he had a 2.25" footwear advantage max and was about 3" shorter. That would make him a little more than 5" shorter barefoot. That adds up with him being 6" shorter in even shoes and Lundgren losing about ahalf inch like he said.
Sly was less than 3" shorter than 6'1.5" Carl Weathers in slippers. In the recent pictures he likely had a 2" max footwear advantage and he was 1" max shorter. That'd put him still likely a little less than 3" shorter barefoot.
That's the type of stuff that seals it for me, those examples add up perfectly with Sly at 5'10.75". He looks exactly how he should at 5'10.75", with and without lifts. I know he can look 5'9" too, but I think there is more placing him at atleast 5'10".

In regards to Franks short Sly sighting he had nothing but good things to say about Sly (funny smart then he is on camera) Glenn and other tall Sly supporters have to realize some people have seen Sly short(er) and posters like me and 90 % of the people have to realize Sly has never left Glenn a short(er) sighting

That "beach" pic with his wife they look ballpark the same height, If I had to guess hes between 5'8.5 and 5'10, I really doubt hes 5'7 or close to 5'11 ....People sometimes have differences in judging heights...Glenn says Sly is easy 5'10 Frank says 5'11 in footwear weak 5'8 barefoot, Sly left Manum a shorter impression, so you have 5'10 5'8 and 5'8 avgs around 5'9....even current Arnold Glenn says 5'11 Bronstein on video and email says 6'1 avgs out to be 6 even for him btw who is Goldman??? and how did he see Sly

Another garbage post from Brad. I'll take the still picture on the beach anyday over one of them walking and him with his head down. And when did I try to inflate Jennifer's height? I said she's 5'9", which is what you say as well. Sly looks 5'10.5" when they're standing still, even factoring in each of their advantages. They're walking downhill with Sly clearly in front in the other picture!
I never said Jack wore lifts on the golf course either, I said at the event he was likely wearing them. Once again this picture from the golf course does make Sly look 5'10.5" if Jack is 5'9". Click Here
Look at Jack here at the Departed premiere(about 4 years after the golf course pictures) Click Here
Jack can pass for a 5-10ish guy even 4 years after the golf course picture at premieres. DiCaprio is listed here at 5'11.5", Damon at 5'10" and Wahlberg at 5'8". Most are probably right, give or take a half inch.
Jack is 5'9", that's not a stretch at all. It's only a half inch different than what he's listed here.
As for Hopper I said he could be 5'8", I didn't say he was. Glenn sees him all of the time and says 5'8" so of course it's possible and in my opinion it's just as likely as 5'7". I mean has anyone on this site spent much time comparing Hopper in pictures? No, so 5'7" for Hopper isn't exactly safe enough to assume.
