I remember hearing him say he turned down a few hundred thousand to appear in Rambo, wasn't worth it, at least that was a theatrical release with a decent profile, so when he does say yes to the beep on his CV what is he offered?

I've just finished reading his book and the Rambo part is mentioned and apparently he couldn't do it because of a commitment to another film. The book goes onto say that Stallone wishes that he'd have known about the filming conflict as he'd have made sure that he was able to do Rambo as he wasn't entirely happy with the actor who was cast, I'm assuming Graham McTavish on this one so basically Vinnie's character would have been the one out of The Condemned fighting alongside Rambo!
The only questionable doubt about this whole Rambo thing is that, from memory, the book refers to this around 2010 whereas Rambo was two years earlier but on the other hand, Vinnie ended up in Escape Plan so did Stallone keep him in the back of his mind after Rambo fell through?
He didn't appear to be big headed in the book, if anything a kind and generous man (his words obviously) and he was the first to poke fun at himself especially when it came to his neighbour's wedding so I'm kinda believing him and his telling of events.
Oh, I must be planning on posting more if I've created this .. -

Net worth LOL How dumb to even bring something like this. 50k is doable for a decent part. Not a Chance for 10k. It doesn't 'depend on the budget' because if the budget/paycheck is too low, he simply won't do it. Those DTV movies are mostly in a range of 2-3M so they can afford to pay him 100-150K to be a leading man.
