Of all the costumes and props on display at Planet Hollywood Cafe in Las Vegas, this almost nude replica of Sylvester Stallone is probably one of the coolest and is pretty realistic, even down to the armpit hair. It was used in the movie to portray his character in a frozen state in CryoPrison.

To find Mr. Stallone's body double, just look up to see him suspended from the ceiling of the second floor of the movie-themed restaurant, where this lifelike dummy was photographed on April 7, 2011.

In the action movie this small scale puppet of Sylvester Stallone was used when 'Gabe Walker' is hanging from a wire-cable ladder and trying to get back on to the rescue helicopter skids. Apparently, the 'kicker puppet' comes with a tiny motor inside the torso to make the legs kick back and forth.
