[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Reporter to Rocky at the hospital after the first Creed fight: Rocky! What were you thinking at the start of the 15th round??"

ROCKY: "Uh, I don't know...maybe that I shoulda' stayed in school or something."

My least favorite movie has my favorite lines Rocky 5. After Tommy hits Paulie "You knocked him down why dont yopu try knockin me down now" and Tommy Gunn only fights in the ring "MY rings outside" I get pumped every time

I have never watched and never will watch Rocky

Thats because your busy making fun of women and children...maybe beating mentally ill kids or even robbing senior citizens,,,looooooo......oooo..oooooo....ser!

Rocky 1 with the story
3 with the style change
4 with the sad emo **** (part where he takes a ride with the background tune, i actually laughed my ass off)

Rocky 1
Rocky 2
Rocky 5
Rocky 3
Rocky 4
Rocky 6


Rocky 4 is overrated, it's a fun film to watch but it's just a cheesy 80s action film, like Rocky 3 but there's a bit more story to Rocky 3. The criticism Rocky 5 gets is totally disgraceful, and all because Stallone went for a more story oriented approach rather than an action one. Most morons wanted another impossible opponent, but how do you get more impossible than Ivan Drago? How about have Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang and Thunderlips in the ring against Rocky all at once? No, with Rocky 5 he faces a tougher battle, not physically, but mentally and emotionally. There's no emotion in Rocky 3 or Rocky 4. Mickey's and Apollo's death are played out within 2 or 3 scenes then totally disgarded, but with Rocky 2 a lot of the film shows Rocky trying to earn a living outside of boxing, but struggling to hold down a job, it has an awesome "down on your chips" feel to it and then when Adrian goes into the coma and Rocky is reading that poem to her, that is emotional. Then Rocky 5, shows the bankrupcy and the brain damage plot which hang over the entire film, the emotional flash back with Mickey in the gym and then the eventual backstabbing of Tommy Gunn dealing with big issue in boxing, corruption, he's not fighting for a title anymore...he's fighting for pride and his family's peace. Gunn wouldn't relent until he got Rocky then when you see Rocky and his family walking off at the end, it hits you....this is Rocky, this is the man who doesn't need the money, the fame....he's left with his pride, his family by his side he's gone full circle proving his worth in life.

i liked rocky 4, i think it is. with dolph lundgren as ivan draego.

man, james brown is in that movie - haters of that movie need beatings.

i also loved the old school hard core training rock does in that movie. he seemed toughest in that movie than he was in any other rocky movie.


and, dolph lundgren is no chump. far from it. he is a full contact karate champion and is a real fighter. so, i am sure there was some interesting ring scenes that only made it to dvd.

didn't dolph break stallone's rib(s) in a first or second fight scene take? u guys didn't know that, did ya??

I hadn't heard about Lundgren breaking Stallone's rib.

But here's a funny story about Rocky Balboa.

Sylvester Stallone was rushed to hospital after he was knocked unconscious on the set of new Rocky movie 'Rocky Balboa'.

The film crew initially failed to call emergency services thinking the Hollywood legend - who had suffered a vicious blow to the head in the ring - was still acting.

He almost died filming Rocky 4.
