Sylvester Stallone didn’t just act like he was fighting for his life in Rocky IV – he actually was. One punch from Dolph Lundgren sent him straight to intensive care. “He pulverized me,” Stallone admitted, and that was putting it lightly. The hit was no stunt. Stallone wanted real punches to make the fight scenes feel authentic.
Lundgren, a legit 4th dan black belt, was happy to oblige. Bad idea. Stallone took a full-force shot to the chest. At first, he brushed it off. Then, reality hit – hard. “I didn’t feel it in the moment, but later that night my heart started to swell,” he said, per the National Post.
His blood pressure skyrocketed to 260. The next thing he knew, he was on a low-altitude emergency flight from Vancouver to California. Doctors didn’t sugarcoat it.
