Taxi Driver was a vile,ugly looking movie. I loved it but Rocky was more old fashion Hollywood.

In the directors cut, he also cries out his mistresses name as she makes her way towards the ring from the opposite direction.

Considering the shoestring budget, was that a ketchup packet he squeezed?

I also heard (maybe in the DVD commentary) that the training run through the Philly street market was not staged and the guy who tossed Rocky the apple did so unexpectedly, adding a nice touch.

After this thread I am going to have to watch all these movies again soon.

Did they ever give an explanation why Creed did not get a rematch with Rocky?

Because Creed retired, and he ran off to Ibiza with Rocky for a "completely heterosexual" romp through the surf.

So, Ive been on a Rocky kick this week


I found this video game that somehow I missed when it came out (probably because I had a 1 year old)

Anyway, this is awesome and I want to play it


Rocky Legends is the sequel to the 2002 video game Rocky. It is a video game of the fighting game genre released in 2004, by Venom Games. The game is based on the Rocky franchise, excluding Rocky Balboa that wasn't released until 2006.
The events of the game take place before the films and in between. In the game the player can take control of Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang or Ivan Drago and witness their early careers before their famous encounters.



Career[edit]
Career mode allows the player to select one of the major characters of the first four Rocky films. Each character has a story of how they rise to the top of the boxing world. They all remain true to the canon of the Rocky films except for Ivan Drago's story, which differs in the match against Rocky Balboa.

Rocky Balboa: Rocky's story begins outside of Mickey's gym, where Rocky has a street fight with Joe Zale. The story then progresses through all of the Rocky movies, ending with Rocky's street fight against Tommy Gunn.

Apollo Creed: Apollo's story gives us a backstory to Apollo before his fight with Rocky Balboa. The story begins during a match between Apollo and his best friend Tony Duke. Apollo beats Duke, and Duke tells Apollo that he is getting ready to retire and would like to be Apollo's manager. Apollo agrees and the story leads into Apollo's rise to the championship, finishing just before Rocky's rise to fame.

James "Clubber" Lang: Clubber Lang's story starts in the Chicago state prison, where he gets into a brawl with another inmate. After the fight the guards tell Lang that he served his time and he is let go. The story then revolves around the events of Rocky III and culminates in his victory over Rocky in New York City.

Ivan Drago: Ivan Drago's story is the only one that steps away from the canon of the Rocky films. Drago's story revolves around the events of Rocky IV and his rise to fame in Russia.. This career mode has a twist: not only does Drago beat Apollo, he also defeats Rocky It ends with Drago receiving a medal from the Soviet Union.
Training[edit]





The trailers are great

Cool.

Why would they change the Drago one?

I guess because how else could you build a story?

Rocky had losses to Apollo and Clubber that he could avenge. With Drago, it was over.


And let's be real. It should have been a TKO in the first or second round. Rocky got knocked down 4 times and was getting destroyed.

Just realized I don't think I ever have seen 3...pretty sure ever time I tried I only made it up to the Thunderlips part...

4 is my personal favorite.
