  • Close Up meets Sylvester Stallone (5:04)

As far as blockbuster action movie stars of the '80s go, they don't come much bigger than Sylvester Stallone.

He is the Italian Stallion who made his success as a one man wrecking machine. But as it turned out there wasn't much more to Sly than an action hero.

An attempt to change his image resulted in a string of box office failures, so five years ago he rolled Rocky and Rambo back out and now his resurgence continues.

Close Up caught up with action hero to talk about his latest flick The Expendables, a movie starring a past-their-prime bunch of '80s icons.
