"For an Italian kid, you ain't got a bad butt" - Written by Stallone...about his 13 YO son?!?!


Why was this written into the movie?

Sure it's a school girl saying it to the character of Rocky Jnr., but that doesn't negate the fact that this line came from Stallone's mind, and made its way to screenplay, filming, editing, and to the viewers.

Sage Stallone was 13 when this was filmed.

Oh so your done with the gays so now it’s time to insinuate Stallone is a pedophile.

Everyone’s a pedophile except you, isn’t that right Ticketsplease??

You really couldn’t be any more transparent if you tried, fool.

You're looking too far into this.

Maybe she liked his butt and ad-libbed…good improv skills by Elisebeth Peters, perhaps….after all, she was coming off a turn with acting titans Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr in the profound and classic She-Devil (1989)….maybe Streep and Barr taught her a few things….

"Why was this written into the movie?"

Because girls do talk like that.

"Sure it's a school girl saying it to the character of Rocky Jnr., but that doesn't negate the fact that this line came from Stallone's mind"

Yes, because a writer has to be everyone. They have to be male, they have to be female. They have to be old. They have to be young. The writer is God of that universe. That's how writing works. A writer who writes like you're trying to say Stallone should be like isn't a good writer at all. Every character should think, act, and talk differently than the ones around them, especially if they are of different ages.

This complaint reeks of a lack of understanding of basic authorship.

"Sage Stallone was 13 when this was filmed."

Stallone didn't write this ABOUT his son.

Sage Stallone wasn't supposed to be Rocky Jr. at that point in the movie. Rocky Krakoff was to reprise the role in the early parts of the movie. But then, when the movie time jumps to 1990 near the end, that's when Sage was to have come in to play an older Rocky Jr. But when Krakoff proved unavailable, they just decided to have Sage do the whole movie, but they do make him look more fresh-faced and youthful at the beginning.
