10 Times There Were Fistfights On Movie Sets

10. Sylvester Stallone Vs. Richard Gere

If we were to tell you that someone had a fight with Rocky and Rambo star Sly Stallone on set, you'd probably be curious as to who would be stupid enough to take him on. If you guessed that it was Richard Gere then you've probably cheated and looked it up.

When shooting 1974's The Lords of Flatbush, the two men had a falling out. Surprisingly - according to Stallone, at least - it was Gere who started it, becoming overly aggressive during a scene. When Stallone told Gere to calm down and ease up, it became a point of friction between the two.

There was then a second incident where Gere allegedly spilt some food inside of Stallone's car while the two were having lunch. This resulted in Gere eating an elbow to the side of his head and being tossed from the (parked) vehicle.

Bizarrely, Elton John of all people recounts a story many years later when the two men nearly began to fight again at a dinner party. To hear Elton tell it, there was some sort of falling out over the attentions of Princess Diana that nearly resulted in violence between the pair.

A truly crazy situation.

Verdict: Stallone victory
