Sly!
Sylvester Stallone, star of the 1996 Hollywood blockbuster Daylight, was called upon to reprise his role to save the 2,000 passengers aboard the Eurostar trains trapped in the Channel Tunnel.
“Sly has previously saved the lives of hundreds of trapped motorists when the Holland Tunnel collapsed in 1996,” said Commissioner Hal Turnchuck of the Chunnel Authority. “We had to call on him because the lives of our passengers were in mortal danger.”
Mr. Stallone, however, was disappointed his job this time wasn’t quite as heroic as in his ‘96 movie and nobody seemed to care he was even there. He escorted many of the passengers out of the tunnel, ensuring their safety and well-being, but he didn’t even receive as much as a thank you. “Kit Latura was there to save their lives in case the tunnel collapsed and they don’t even care. I even flew here on the red-eye. Ungrateful [expletive].”
Our correspondent asked several of the travelers about Mr. Stallone’s presence and the commonest reply was “Who?”
