15. Sylvester Stallone Was Forced To Intervene In An Onset Brawl

Capping off the unexpected "Tony Bellew trilogy" on a rather uncomfortable note, the pugilist found himself in an unscripted scuffle with one of his scene partners midway into production.

While filming was going down in Aston, Pennsylvania, Bellew got aggravated by the actor playing his corner coach and lunged out on him for unclear reasons. Fortunately, the confrontation itself was relatively minor and Stallone and a few others on-set ended it before it had the chance to escalate.

That said, a studio representative later stated that the conflict was resolved before it became physical. Seeing how this altercation happened nearly eight years ago, it it safe to say that we will never know the actual sequence of events.

Still, kudos must be given to a then-68-year-old Sly for stepping in and handling the situation as well as he could have.
