I like the version with Rick Moranis.

Xenophobic nonsense.

Same mentality that convinced the american public that bush saved the country from alien invasion in "independence day" and that a two-bit , no-mark american shithead could beat a finely tuned, drug-addled, xenoph.......oh, hang on........

Rocky III's the best one and you knows it.

Now now Millsee - ranting at an ungodly hour - you'll give yourself heartburn again

You'll be surprised to know that I love the Rocky films.

Well remember the first one. We lived in Jersey at the time and everyone was keen to see it. We got tickets (yes, truly such was the demand) at a somewhat snooty cinema club who'd got it. Terribly sophisticated audience doncha know.

Well, everyone went mental. Leaping up, screaming, lashing out - the works. Everyone staggered out completely knackered. Ah happy days .....

Rocky IV scapes the bottom of the barrel... there were times when I laughed and times when I looked away and winced. Dreadful, embarrasing and utterly moronic.

Loved the close-up where Drago gets 'injected'. Classy stuff Stallone, real classy that. Jingoistic nonsence of the lowest common denominator.

If anyone has seen Aki Kaurismäki's short satire of the film, 'Rocky VI (1986 9 mins) please raise your hand.

Kaurismäki describes the film as "my revenge on Mr.Stallone, who I think is an asshole." Thankyou Aki, you mad brilliant man you.

The James Brown song was fucking ace during that film....

Matt S · « **Reply #62 on:** February 10, 2005, 05:06:20 pm »

abit political for my liking. The soviet robot man against the american hero. And the endings rather cheesy I thought.

Still, Rocky kicks arse

Steven Gerrard · « **Reply #63 on:** February 10, 2005, 05:42:18 pm »

it came out in 1985

one film i can watch over and over again

rocky iv

what a brilliant soundtrack! great to listen to when your weight training!

Though i'll never know how to skip...

saltynuts · « **Reply #65 on:** February 10, 2005, 06:28:34 pm »

yeah I like to listen to it when I'm training..

Hearts of Fire made me run further than I needed, and I was fucked, some good tunes baby

Spartacus. · « **Reply #66 on:** February 10, 2005, 06:42:46 pm »

I don't know some people just go way ott...... you take out of films anything you want.....

It's a film, entertainment - aimed at kids, us kids loved it - it's 20 years old for fucks sake...... crap lines and a leading man who can't even change the tone of his voice - a bloody good laugh

Some people need a little perspective here.....

Kinnell, can't say I've ever thought about the political overtones while watching Rocky. It's just good entertainment.

Has anyone seen the recut version? Going to see it on Saturday afternoon before the Arsenal game and I'm pumped, robot or not.

Everyone's favourite seems to be this one, mine is the first one though. Except the ending which is a bit cheesy and resembles a luvvy duvvy movie.

Least favourite is definitely the one with his son and Tommy Gunn

There's nothing after IV for me, in my headcanon. IV just has the best one off fight scene I think. The first Creed I thought was enjoyable enough, not seen the second but by all accounts it's shite.

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #72 on:** November 18, 2021, 02:37:40 pm »

Creed II is basically a sequel to Rocky IV, and I enjoyed both Creed films immensely. Have to agree with the Rocky V criticism - it's shite, and Balboa has its heart in the right place but the whole concept is stupid. I'll always watch any of the first four but while Rocky is objectively the best of the series, Rocky III is the most enjoyable for me. Best blend of characters and the balance between serious and silliness really worked. Rocky IV is hugely fun but there just isn't enough to chew on.

Red Beret · « **Reply #73 on:** November 18, 2021, 03:07:39 pm »

Saw R IV in the cinema with my mum of all people. I must have been about 12. Crazy thing is it wasn't the kind of film either of us would typically go watch, but she was going mental by the end.

Played this to our youngest before he did training/races etc. He loved it and then hated it.

I always love it. saw it in the cinema straight from school when it came out.

Hearts on Fire is nowhere near as good a training montage song as eye of the tiger though

I can't remember which one it was now, the first or second I think but Adrian was in Hospital in a coma when she comes round after a bit chit chat she says "There's something I want you to do, WIN . . . . . . WIN" and then Mick shouts "What are we waiting for".

Epic that
