After watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's three-part 'ARNOLD' doc-series I was hoping to find this just as informative. However, despite a similar running time (both roughly in the 90-minute area) there wasn't really a substantial amount of material that couldn't already have been extracted from the internet myself.
Stallone has always given the impression of being someone who is eternally downtrodden but wants the world to see him beat his adversaries and demons in a large public arena. This is certainly something that was ingrained in him from childhood, as we hear Sly talk of his brutish father and largely absent mother.
A shame that his former marriages were glossed over. His first wife, Sasha Czack, is never mentioned, neither is his second, Brigitte Nielsen, even though their marriage was worldwide news and tabloid fodder for months on end.
There's no doubt that he is talented, but you get the impression that he isn't completely content with his lifetime's work and is actually quite frustrated that he didn't break out of his 'action man' persona. Maybe so, but as Dirty Harry once famously said, "A man's got to know his limitations".
