Sylvester Stallone slammed “Rocky” producer Irwin Winkler for hoarding ownership of the “Rocky” franchise in an Instagram post this Sunday.<\/p>\n

The post shows an image of Winkler as a serpent with a knife for a tongue. Stallone captioned the image “A very flattering portrait of the great ‘Rocky’\/’Creed’ producer, Irwin Winkler, from one of the country’s greatest. After Irwin controlling ‘Rocky’ for over 47 years, and now ‘Creed’, I really would like to have at least a little [of] WHAT’S LEFT of my rights back, before passing it on to ONLY YOUR CHILDREN — I believe that would be a fair gesture from this 93-year-old gentleman?”<\/p>\n

Burt Young, pictured above in the upcoming comedy movie, “Tomorrow’s Today,” and who stars as Rocky’s brother in the “Rocky” series has maintained a warm relationship with Stallone over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rocky Balboa franchise which began with 1976 film, “Rocky,” co-starred Burt Young who was nominated for an academy award for the picture and has a cameo in Timothy Hines’ new comedy movie, “Tomorrow’s Today.” The “Rocky” series as generated five sequels written and directed by Stallone. The spinoff franchise, “Creed,” will have a third film with a plan release date of Nov. 2022.<\/p>\n
