entertainment">For the 1985 film, Stallone played a boxing scene with Dolph Lundgren. “He crushed me. At the time I didn’t feel it but later that night my heart started to swell. My blood pressure rose to 260 and I thought I could get ready to talk to the angels, but the next thing I remember I was put on an emergency flight. I ended up in intensive care and then had to go back to the set to finish that fight.”
