Dailytelegraph – AGING action hero Sylvester Stallone broke his neck while filming a fight scene with wrestler co-star “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in his latest movie. The Rocky star has revealed he needed emergency surgery and a metal plate inserted in his neck after the accident on the set of The Expendables. The 63-year-old 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. The upcoming movie centers on a gang of mercenaries on their way to destroy a foreign dictator and has action fans salivating. It features some of the biggest names of the genre – including Arnold Schwarzenegger, 62, Bruce Willis, 54, Dolph Lundgren, 52, Mickey Rourke, 57, Jet Li, 46, and Jason Statham, 37. It also stars Brittany Murphy, who died in December of a heart attack. Stallone has experience in getting hurt during filming – having almost died while making Rocky IV. He said: “Dolph (Lundgren) 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. “I was told that Dolph had punched my rib cage into my chest, compressing my heart. If it had swollen any more, I would have died. “After that, I was like, ‘Dolph, it’s only a movie, bro’.”
