Sylvester Stallone found out why stuntmen can be very valuable. He was filming a fight sequence with Stone Cold Steve Austin for the new movie
The Expendables and the two men got carried away. According to Stallone, the scene became so vicious that he suffered a major neck injury and had to undergo major surgery to have a plate inserted into the damaged area. Stallone told FHM magazine, "It was seven guys, kicking each other's ass, one guy tougher than the
next. No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy. My fight with
Stone Cold Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a
hairline fracture in my neck. I'm not joking. I haven't told anyone
this, but I had to have a very serious operation afterwards. I now have
a metal plate in my neck." For more
