Stallone's height has been in question since the beginning of his career. The Internet Movie Database lists him at 5"9 1/2', which is probably about two inches too much but at least he's not claiming to be a giant.
His noggin size: Casaba melon.
In his book With Nails Richard Grant says Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are:
"substantially shorter than 6 foot."
