Sylvester Stallone Breaks His NeckSylvester Stallone broke his neck during the filming of a fight scene in his recent movie. He underwent surgery and a metal plate was inserted in his neck, following his injury on the set of The Expendables.

Stallone, 63, while filming a fight scene with wrestling co-star Stone Cold Steve Austin in his latest movie when he fractured his neck.

The action hero told FHM magazine, ‘Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other’s ass, one guy tougher than the next. No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy.

‘Actually, my fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck. I’m not joking.

‘I haven’t told anyone this, but I had to have a very serious operation afterwards. I now have a metal plate in my neck.’

The movie features several veteran action actors, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, 62, Dolph Lundren, 52, Bruce Willis, 54, Mickey Rourke, 57, Jet Li, 46, and Jason Statham, 37.

Stallone wrote the script and also directed the movie, filled with plenty of action and fight scenes.

In the past, Stallone was hurt in other occasions too during filming. Filming Rocky IV, he was seriously injured by Dolph Lundgen. According to Stallone, ‘Dolph and I always went for it. I gave him orders to try to knock me out while the cameras were rolling. At one point, he hit me so hard on the head I felt my spine compress.

‘He then hit me with an almighty uppercut. That night my chest started to swell, and I had to be helicopter-ambulanced from my hotel to a nearby emergency room.’

The veteran actor also disclosed that although he and Arnold Schwarzenegger were big rivals in the past, they are now best friends.
