Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
He still looks tiny which was my point. The problem with Hollywood Urban legends is that they're rarely as strange as truth.
After Terminator came out if you said Arnie will be "The Governator" or he's only 5ft everyone would have gone for the short option.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
His ego is definitely taller on Opra's couch.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
"Camera angle" is everything in hollywood. If your short then your in front and the camera is below your shoulders AND wolla! YOUR BIG!  Arnold and Sly are around 5'9" - 5'7" and are always shot from a lower angle to make them appear larger then life! John Wayne always rode a smaller horse to make him appear larger then he was. Hollywood, where anything is possible, even Galaxy's far, far away. |

Gak! I don't know about Stallone, but Arnold Schwartzenegger is 6'2" - I know this because Arnold was beaten out for 'The Hulk' role by Lou Ferrigno because he is 6'5"!  |

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
Yep, Sly isn't a tall man. If you ever saw pictures of him with Bridget Nielsen you can see it. If you think about it everybody in the Rocky movies, Carl weathers, Mr. T., Micky, was a little on the short side so he didn't seem too short by comparison. Then in Rocky 4 when they brought our Dolph Lundgren he looked like a giant, but he was only 6'5" or so. But next to Sly he looked 8 feet tall. 
John Wayne was one of the tallest actors in Hollywood though at the time he was working. He was 6'4". Not saying they didn't put him on a small horse to make him look even bigger though. Course it might have been just so they could keep him in the frame with the other actors.
