Actor Sylvester Stallone has been knocked unconscious while filming one of the fight scenes for the delayed sixth film in the Rocky series, Rocky Balboa.
The film star was knocked unconscious after a violent blow to the head during filming in a ring in Las Vegas, Nevada. Onlookers failed to raise the alarm, believing the 59-year-old was still acting.
"At first everyone thought Sylvester was acting when he fell to the floor," says his mother, Jackie Stallone. "But it was serious. Fortunately he's recovered now."
