Get in and out.

And I was like, we watched the first one. Showed it to my lady. She loved it. So I said, we've got to watch the second one. Watch the second one. The next night we watched the third one.

Finally, we got to the fourth one. I said, okay, I'm going to write Stallone. I said, dude, you are consistently moving that character through the different eras, and You need to go back to directing because when I worked with him, he'd done a bunch of movies in the 90s and he was telling me why the movies didn't work. I said, you got to go back to directing. No one was at your level.

Directing yourself, getting career bests out of your other actors while you're also not just the star but the franchise and being in insane shape back then, which was way before anyone knew anything about training. You were probably in the gym much longer than you needed to be. And he said, very perceptive. I was like, you probably were way over training because people didn't know.

There were no science to it back then. Right. And getting all that work done. So how can you work with another director now? They can have their respect. You got to go back to directing because you can't argue with the result. And he was like, I can't go back to directing. Well, we did this movie together. It was his biggest opening ever with Spy Kids 3D.

Two years later, or a year later, he goes, I'm writing another Rocky. And that was that new Rocky. He hadn't directed in 22 years. Whoa. He went back to directing and writing, did another Rocky, another Rambo, and then a whole new franchise, Expendables.

crazy like for your career to come back like that did stunts and expendables and broke his fucking crazy but because he went back and that's sometimes you know that's the key to successes yeah it's late 60s and i said yeah he's doing his own stunts it's harder to go do it all yourself but look you can't argue with the results look at the results you got back then
