Fav Rocky movie!

Now, alot would say the first one, but I personally think Rocky V is the best by quite a long way.....Rocky is back in his old 'hood and involves a good (and well acted) subplot of Rocky's son (who is infact his actual son in real life too) being bullied at school.....plus Rocky trains a young guy from the streets etc.....the street fight at the end is brilliant to!


I heard Rocky was meant to die in the streetfight climax.....I woulda preferred that really.....anyway, the rolling credits run and u hear that very moving Elton John song ("measure of a man") over the credits and the saga is over.....


What is ur fav Rocky and y?

i've seen all of them but basically the plot gets abit same old same old and the story lines get weaker and weaker through the sequels (althought Rocky's II-V have their small moments).

like most movies, the sequels struggle to hold water against the originality of the first movie

also, they started to become too far fetched for me too. (i guess the first movie was alittle bit like that in places aswell but being the first one, well i say it had licence to wink )

I think it is sad when Rocky has flashbacks of Mickey in the 5th one.....brings a tear to my eye it does!

MY FAVES ARE...

Rockies 3 & 4

Rocky III is hilarious at times, whilst IV has the best line in the entire series, "If he dies, he dies".

I know, I know....apart from the 1st Rocky film, the rest are typical '80's entertainment and a tad cheesy. But you know what? - I can't HELP liking them. I guess because I grew up watching Sly as Rocky and Rambo, kicking butt and wrecking some serious #ยค%"!

I remember standing in our living room back in 1987 or '88, having to be spoon-fed by my mum or uncle because I was too busy to sit down at the dinner table - wearing my shorts, baby trainers & a pair of over-sized boxing gloves, imitating Rocky. How sad is that???!!!

giggle

But they were fond memories so I admit to having a soft spot in my heart for those movies.
