MEXICO CITY (AP) - Sylvester Stallone defended boxing, praised the hard work of Mexicans and dished out some jabs against U.S. plans to build a wall on its southern border.
The 60-year-old actor was visiting Mexico City to promote his sixth prizefighting film, "Rocky Balboa."
Stallone said Thursday that his latest episode of the Rocky saga shows an ordinary man fighting back against life's difficulties represented by his stronger ring opponents.
"It's like bullfighting or certain sports where you understand the brutality," Stallone told reporters. "The thing is you have two men who are prepared; two men who have trained for this and know exactly what they're doing. It's not like two strong men attacking strangers."
In "Rocky Balboa," the aging scrapper is running a restaurant when a computer-simulated bout inspires him to put the gloves back on. In one scene, his character defends his restaurant's immigrant cooks and waiters against slanderous comments.
"I support Mexicans who work in my country," he said, adding that the United States depends on the hard work of Latinos to keep running.
In comments to Mexican media later, the man who formerly played U.S. war hero Rambo, criticized plans to build 1,100 kilometres of fence along the border as an immigration-control measure.
Such a fence was "crazy" and "ridiculous," Stallone said, arguing nations should be able to interact without being divided by walls.
The Mexican government has railed against the fence with former President Vicente Fox comparing it to the Berlin Wall.

Stallone is an idiot with too much time on his hands. Maybe he can find a hobby like basket weaving. 0 -

I do too. We will spend billions to build it, and all it will take is Jose to buy a shovel and pick for $20 to dig under it.
Don't get me wrong, I am for it as much as you but this stuff currently in place ain't workin.0 -
I noticed that he had three Mexican cooks in his restaurant - Adrian's - in his latest movie.
Could be a subliminal message, there![:o)][:o)][:o)]0 -

Stallone's just pissed because he's 5-foot 3-inches tall. 0 -

He has the beat to death lib talking point down too.
I'm sure it took the brainiac months to memorize that one sentance.
...He does have a valid point however, if the mexkins were blocked from comming here, and the ones here were deported, the US would collapse like a toilet under Rosie O'Donnel...[;)]0 -
Maybe he will just blow the fence up with those fancy exploding arrows. KABOOM! 0 -
Not that he's much more than a B movie ham, Sly's just probably trying to sell his new flick down there. I bet there's a version in Spanish. 0 -
Maybe instead of donating billions of tax dollars to haliburton, they could go down to the local temp worker office, pick up a truck load of illegals, and have them build a Berlin wall for about 50 cents an hour. When they're finished, deport them and send that whining Stallone with them. He's made enough money pretending to be a veteran to pay for the wall himself, then he'd be employing those he loves the most. 0 -
I am surprised me made those comments. I was pretty sure that he was a conservative republican. however, he is now on my boycott list and just another TRAITOR to america and americans. 0 -

1) Stallone is a Hollywood Republican and has made campaign donations to extreme Right Wingers like Rick Santorum and John Ashcroft.
2) Stallone is one of George W Bush's two favorite actors. The other is another famous Hollywood Conservative, Chuck Norris.
3) Stallone was recently praised by Pat Robertson during an interview with the star on the Christian Broadcasting Network. Robertson praised Stallone and his new Rocky movie for it's Christian themes and messages.
That's quite a list for a "Hollywood liberal."0 -

him more .... otherwise, YO ... FOR get IT![:D][:D][:D]0 -
[:D] I still understand it, but don't speak it any more, been gone a long time. The relatives back in the Philly area are masters of it. 0 -
Maybe Stallone will don his Rambo persona and protect us all, that great 'Voice of the Vietnam Veteran'. A lot of fellows protested his Rambo movies because of the violent image of justified revenge and the addition of more poop to the negative Vietnam stigma. I don't think he ever contributed much to this country as many others have done.
I don't watch his movies, or pay to see them or buy them on tape or DVD. I don't watch many movies anyway, as there are many more true-life characters to watch and interact with.
I'd rather watch Capt. Kangaroo, who was a Marine in the same company with lee marvin at iwo where they both got Navy Crosses and LM was winged in his bttocks, which incident he humoroulsy describes at times, and the Friendly Giant, a Navy Seal and Vietnam Vet, and even Mr. Green Jeans who I do believe was around the block once or twice. Bill Mauldin cartoons are also good.
There are enough runaway buses and other vehiKles and falling trees and limbs and crazy people driving about etc. to make life interesting as it is.
Don't like mud, raking leaves, etc. and believe it is good to gripe just for GP at times.
If Stallone and others can be opinionated, self-righteous semi-jerks at times, then why not?? Seems Constitutional Liberties at times only apply to a few and not the many.
I don't like nor appreciate Donald Trump or Rosie either. Prime examples of arrogance and narcisism. I hope their potatoes get rotten, spoil in their cellars, or wherever they keep them, maybe their pockets. That would make a nice smelly and wet mess. No potato chips for them.
Raquel Welsh or Welch is OK though, however, I never had the opportunity I deserve to have rubbed shoulders etc. with her. [:X][:p][:D]

Its amazing how you commies can call someone who supports the constitution of the US and is religous a Right Winger. They represent the principals that this country was founded on and they were all Christans at that time. They are the political center if anything.
You left wingers are the ones out to lunch.0 -
Dak To 68: I get back every couple of years - due for another trip back in a month or two - and I slide back into it effortlessly. I can turn it on and off around here ... cracks up the kids and grandkids, scares their friends, entertains the neighbors and drives the my English major/teaching wife nuts![}:)]
There are some key words/phrases that put me back into the 'swing of the lingo' - words such as water, snow, 'gazoline,' dog, on, 'whatcha,' downtown/uptown, 'doin,' yeah, 'seeya,' down - phrases such as 'down tha pike,' 'I'll come by and get ya, and of course 'youse guys' and some others.[:D][:D][:D]0 -
I'm still gonna watch his movies but
he can get on the same plane
with Baldwin and that blonde woman
(can't think of her name) and leave the
country like they promised if Bush got
elected!0 -

You make this far too difficult. We don't need a border fence. We need a moat filled with giant, man-eating crocodiles.0 -

This is a good reminder that being a "hollywood republican", "hollywood conservative", or one of GW's favorites, does NOT make you pro-American OR conservative.[;)]0 -
The years have not been kind to Sly's face.
Have y'all checked out his facelift?
That face just doesn't look right.0
