At 79, Stallone occupies a position in American popular culture that has outlasted several cycles of critical reassessment. Rocky was dismissed by parts of the critical establishment as sentimental before the Academy awarded it Best Picture. Rambo was read as Reagan-era propaganda before action cinema scholars began treating it as a more complicated document.
