Stallone Pledges No More Rocky Movies.... Sylvester Stallone has promised Rocky Balboa will be the last installment in the long-running film franchise, insisting, "We're done!" The 60-year-old actor wanted to make one last Rocky film to safeguard the series' legacy, but he insists the story of underdog boxer Rocky Balboa is now complete.Discussing the possibility of a seventh Rocky film, he says, "No! Definitely not! When he says, 'Yo Adrian, we did it!' He means, we're done. We lived the life. I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything."Most times, we lose. But the few times we do win, we have to make sure they were the important battles. Lose the little ones along the way, sure, but make sure you win the ones that relate to love and relationships and major personal passions."I just want Rocky to be remembered - for the legacy he leaves behind. For running up the steps and the music. People really do run up those steps, y'know. For inspiration."

Stallone: 'Rocky Crew Feared Tyson Would Leap Into Ring'
Meanwhile its been revealed Sylvester Stallone had to calm the crew on new Rocky sequel Rocky Balboa because they feared former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson would jump into the ring while shooting his cameo.Tyson asked to play Balboa's opponent in the film, but Stallone turned him down because he didn't want the Rocky series to end with Balboa's death, so he offered Tyson a role as a heckler instead.He recalls, "He called! He called and asked if he could play the other guy, and I said no. (Rocky has) a premature death? I don't think so! He said he'd like to be in the film and I said, 'Why don't you be a heckler?' He was up for that."So he showed up that morning and was really going for it. The crew were worried that he was going to get in the ring. But I knew he'd be fine. He's very mellow."
