Incidentally, Sylvester Stallone and Thomas Pynchon appear to have the same sense of humor.

No Machine Gun Joe Viterbo?

A favorite, but these are all names from screenplays Stallone has written -- though he must've liked having that name for himself (also: Sylvester "Sly" Stallone totally sounds like a name Stallone would write).

Re: Lee Christmas

Stallone has always been a closet intellectual, dude.

Closet intellectual? The man's an artist!

Thanks on the Lee Christmas tip. Maybe that moves him up the list. Barnes Ross (Stallone's character's name in the movie) was a boxing champion (duh) who was also a heavily decorated World War II veteran and later developed (and beat) a bad heroin habit.
