I've recently found out that Stallone and De Niro were both nominated for Best Actor in the same year, for their respective career-defining and iconic performances in Rocky and Taxi Driver, and neither of them won.  Unbelievable. Admittedly, there were some unfortunate circumstances, but still.

Stallone was due to play Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop but didn't end up doing it. They completely rewrote the film and then offered it to Eddie Murphy.

 

 

Sylvester Stallone was originally considered for the part of Foley.[5] Stallone gave the script a dramatic rewrite and made it into a straight action film.[4] In one of the previous drafts written for Stallone, the character of Billy Rosewood was called "Siddons" and was killed off half-way through the script during one of the action scenes.[6] Stallone had renamed the lead character to Axel Cobretti, with the character of Michael Tandino being his brother and Jenny Summers playing his love interest. Stallone has said that his script for Beverly Hills Cop would have "looked like the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan on the beaches of Normandy. Believe it or not, the finale was me in a stolen Lamborghini playing chicken with an oncoming freight train being driven by the ultra-slimy bad guy."[4]However, Stallone's ideas were deemed "too expensive" for Paramount to produce and Stallone ultimately pulled out two weeks before filming was to start. Two days later, the film's producers, Simpson and Bruckheimer, convinced Eddie Murphy to replace Stallone in the film, prompting more rewrites.[7] Besides Stallone and Rourke, other actors who were considered for the role of Axel Foley included Richard Pryor, Al Pacino, and James Caan.[8]

I read that Stallone when he wrote Rocky turned down millions and was prepared to walk away and bury it unless he was in it.
