That's interesting. That would be a hard thing to do.



I do recall in the first movie when the promoter put the wrong colored trunks for Rocky on the banner. It's still still an epic movie and I recently watched the second one.


Good thread, Jab. A nice change of pace

If I remember correctly from the rec ent article I read he sold it for $100. After he sold his script and production got underway he bought Butkus back from the guy he sold it to, but was charged $2000.
