=== 2000–2005: declining years ===
In 2000, Stallone starred in the thriller ''[[Get Carter (2000 film)|Get Carter]]'', a remake of the 1971 British film of the [[Get Carter|same name]], but the film was poorly received by both critics and audiences. Stallone's career declined considerably after his subsequent films ''[[Driven (2001 film)|Driven]]'' (2001), ''[[Avenging Angelo]]'' (2002) and ''[[D-Tox]]'' (2002) were also critical and commercial failures.

In 2003, he played a villainous role in the third installment of the ''[[Spy Kids (film series)|Spy Kids]]'' series: ''[[Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over]]'', which was a huge box-office success (almost {{US$|200}}&nbsp;million worldwide). Stallone also had a cameo appearance in the 2003 French film ''[[Taxi 3]]'' as a passenger. Also that year, Stallone started to regain prominence for his supporting role in the [[neo-noir]] crime drama ''[[Shade (film)|Shade]]'' which was only released in a limited fashion but was praised by critics.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shade/ |title=Shade |website=Rotten Tomatoes |date=July 21, 2009 |access-date=September 4, 2010 |archive-date=July 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728052059/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shade/ |url-status=live }}</ref> He was also attached to star and direct a film tentatively titled ''Rampart Scandal'', which was to be about the murder of rappers [[Tupac Shakur]] and [[The Notorious B.I.G.]] and the surrounding [[Los Angeles Police Department]] corruption scandal.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1472396/sylvester-stallone-making-movie-about-biggie-tupac-murders/|title=Sylvester Stallone Making Movie About Biggie, Tupac Murders|last=Patel|first=Joseph|date=June 6, 2003|publisher=[[MTV News]]|access-date=June 9, 2020|archive-date=June 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606204428/http://www.mtv.com/news/1472396/sylvester-stallone-making-movie-about-biggie-tupac-murders/|url-status=dead}}</ref> It was later titled ''Notorious'' but was shelved.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur30196.cfm |title=Stallone's Tupac/Biggie Movie a No Go: Actor was to play LAPD detective who found dirty cops at root of murders |date=December 7, 2006 |publisher=EURWeb.com |access-date=January 9, 2010 }}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
