After starring in Flatbush, actor Henry Winkler would go on to reprise the role in another 1970s 1950s reboot: Happy Days. It also not only helped to launch Stallone’s career, but it provided the template for another classic American character: The Fonz.

Though The Lords of Flatbush adds quite a bit of saccharine to the rough biker aesthetic, the feel-good, coming-of-age flick fulfills its purpose. As the boys chase girls, boost cars, shoot pool, brawl in the street fights, and loiter at the local malt shop, life presents itself, forcing these teens to grow up and face adult responsibilities. Sly plays Stanley Rosiello, a member of a gang from the Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.

Like West Side Story (1961) before it, these duck-tailed bikers are more interested in juvenile hijinks and (eventually) falling in love than steamrolling through town and creating chaos along the way. That interim was just long enough to gloss over some of the decade’s grimier aspects and apply a fresh sheen of nostalgia for leather-clad greasers crashing sockhops. In 2018, 42 years after Rocky, Stallone played the character for the eighth and final time in Creed II, which saw Rocky supporting Adonis as he faced off against Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago, for the Heavyweight Championship.While the 1950s may seem like a far-gone era in the 2020s, in the 1970s, the post-WWII boom was only 20 years passed. With Ryan Coogler at the helm, Creed works as a meaningful passing of the torch to the next generation, with Stallone still supporting the underdog, as he has done throughout his entire career. (The prior nomination was for Best Actor.) Stallone earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his performance, marking his first Oscar nomination for the role since being recognized for the original. Rocky, meanwhile, is facing his own mortality after dealing with several losses and his ailing health. Trying to forge his own legacy as a boxer, Adonis seeks out Rocky in hopes of having the former champ help him to become the fighter he believes he can be. Jordan plays Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky's late friend and former rival, Apollo. Rocky Balboa's boxing saga may have concluded, but his journey as a mentor was just beginning.
