The conversation includes how Sly was stunned as Arnold explained how he got his now-good friend to star in Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Arnold knew the script was terrible, but he had heard Sly was kinda interested in it. So Arnold figured if Sly felt he wanted the role, Sly would jump at it.
So Arnold called his agent, who in turn called Sly’s agent to say A.S. was super interested in the script. Arnold then secretly called the director to express interest — something Sly didn’t know until now.
They also discuss how Arnold’s trainer and compadre, bodybuilding legend Franco Columbu, trained Sly for Rocky II and when Franco challenged Sly to a bench press competition, the actor was game … until he ripped his pec off the bone.
Sly would then have to learn how to box right-handed for the movie or else he wouldn’t have been able to tape Rocky II.
