Sylvester Stallone is my favorite action star and I've not seen all his movies yet. Now I own them on DVD though, and I love the 'Rocky' and 'Rambo' series, but anyway...

2 years ago, I saw this page on a site about him where there was a screenshot of a rare theater related page, and it listed a few films he was in early into his career when he was still unknown as an actor. Some were not even on his IMDb page, so I knew he had to have been just an extra, and found copies of them on DVD to try to spot him. One is about a skiing star in Geneva, played by Robert Redford. So anyway, I bought the film and noticed he was actually an extra in a scene where Robert Redford was in a restaurant. It could be that he's so young, but some other people don't seem to think it's him when it is him. Being that Stallone was only an extra, he had no screen credit. Yet I submitted it on IMDb per their rules for inclusion, and they added it before. Basically, I did this for the other movies as well.

I also recently found out that he told Elliott Gould he was an extra in MASH (the movie, not the episodes). And then I happened to spot him, or at least I believe who I seen was him. IMDb added these credits. They put on Downhill Racer on his filmography back in 2015, but I had these scenes on my YouTube channel for people to see, thinking I was doing a good turn. Then like I said, skeptical "fanboys" who must be idiots or purists claimed it wasn't even him. Yeah. How dumb is that?

Well, they say snitches get stitches, and I proceeded to delete the videos. Fair enough - people don't have to agree with me that I believe it's him in these scenes, but I think they acted like my videos were productive then grassed me up on the site. So after initially adding the credits, they recently chose to remove them, claiming I needed more proof because it would otherwise be classed as unconfirmed, AKA fanboy BS. People who were aware of these videos have begged for me to put them back up, but I won't. Why enjoy my videos then choose to be an absolute twat about things? Just because he's a legendary film star, these petty fanboys all cried that it cannot be him and had the credits removed after I went through the bother to submit them. But seriously: Why all the fuss about an actor known the whole world over just because I personally found him in these movies before anybody else did, apparently? That's just such a silly and childish fanboy like attitude to me, because if it was anyone else playing an extra, not one person would care. So I made a topic on IMDb about it. See what they had to say.

Bunch of tossers. They allow credits to remain where you cannot even see his face, though, which violates their own precious policy. And they pointed out their rules about the actors you submit having to be clearly recognizable. Blah. Blah. Blah. I'll not be doing anything for that crappy website anymore.
