Exactly 10 inductees. Seven of the ten feature Rocky Balboa or John Rambo (five Rocky films plus two Rambo films). Final choice for the 10th slot came down to Cobra vs. Over the Top vs. Tango and Cash — Cobra won to represent 'flying too close to the sun' Stallone. Bill floated a joke about including 'the last 25 minutes of Rocky II' as a bonus but rules kept it to 10. Near-misses: Over the Top, Tango and Cash, Demolition Man, Victory (all yellows); Daylight, Rocky Balboa, Expendables (also yellow/discussed but cut).
