4. Sylvester Stallone vs. Richard Gere
This entry is easily the funniest exchange on the list. Sly Stallone reports that during the filming of The Lords of Flatbush, he and Richard Gere got involved in a little scuffle over some greasy mustard and a Toyota. In an interview recounting the conflict, Stallone remembers eating a hotdog in his Toyota when Gere “climbs in with a half a chicken covered in mustard with grease nearly dripping out of the aluminum wrapper.” After Sly told him that “that thing is going to drip all over the place,” Gere responded simply, “Don’t worry about it.”
Stallone then goes on to tell how Gere “proceeds to bite into the chicken and a small, greasy river of mustard lands on [Stallone’s] thigh.” Why was Gere eating over Stallone’s lap you ask? No clue, but this condiment assault was the last straw for Rocky, leading him to lash out, elbow Gere in the side of the head and push him out of the car. Legend has it that Stallone still hates mustard to this day.
