News is sweeping through the entertainment industry stating that action star Sylvester Stallone breaks neck while making his latest movie entitled “The Expendables”. While the macho actor did indeed sustain a hairline fracture to a neck vertebra the injury did not result in any serious, lasting physical damage. According to Stallone he had an operation to repair the fracture and a metal plate was placed to stabilize his neck.

The movie he was working on is one with real fight scenes because the star of “Rocky” wanted to pack the film with machismo and live action shots. The fight that was being acted out when the neck injury was inflicted was between Stallone and pro wrestler, Steve “Stone Cold” Austin.

Sylvester Stallone is no stranger to physical injuries while making movies and considering his advanced age he is very lucky to be up and walking around because the damage could have been much worse. Instead of headlines announcing that Sylvester Stallone breaks neck while performing his own stunts the news could have been far grimmer.
