"Rocky" Returns

Yahoo News ^

[Nascardude]

Okay. I loved the Rocky Series, and have seen each of the five films so many times that I have them memorized. But enough is enough. They should have ended it with Rocky IV, but they had to make the crappy Rocky V in which he loses everything. Now they are coming out with Rocky VI. No Mickey, No Apollo, No Adrian. This has box office bust written all over it.

I think seeing Rocky fight at age 60 in support hose and a hernia belt will do nothing for the American movie going public.

[Prime Choice]

Someone tell Stallone to just ditch the idea and put his time into running for governor or something. Sakes...

[speedy]

Will this be the one where he fights Floyd Patterson for the title?

"Yo, Adrianne! Where's the Metamucil?"

""Rocky Balboa is about everybody who feels they want to participate in the race of life, rather than be a bystander," the 59-year-old Stallone said in a statement."

Burgess Meredith was 69 when he played Rocky's crusty old trainer in the first film.

Now stallone is going to play a boxer while he's just ten years younger than that?

What is he going to be fighting for? His AARP card?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Best boxing movie ever, BTW...

[armymarinemom]

At his age he should think about calling it Gravel Pit intead of Rocky.

The heck with this one, I'm waiting for Rocky 27.(grin)

[gov_bean_ counter]

Take er to da zoo.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I think this could work. It depends on who's writing Stallone's script for him.

The heck with this one, I'm waiting for Rocky 27.(grin)

I grew up with the Rocky movies. I loved the first one and the 4th one(Cold War), and liked all of them except 5. I tolerated 5, only because the final fight was a street fight, which is Rocky's turf.

But Rocky VI? I'll wait until it's on TV.

[sure_fine]

I read somewhere about this, and it was asked


"who is he going to fight, Wilford Brimely?"

[Maximus of Texas]

I'm waiting for Rocky 20.

Do you remember Airplane II: The Sequel? There is a scene in the gift shop when Sonny Bono buys a bomb. In the background is a movie poster for Rocky followed by a long series of roman numerals. Rocky is potrayed by an aged asian man. Once again Zucker and Co. prove that they are never too far off of the mark. And you figure THAT movie was made in early 80's.

[MikefromOhio]

II was the best followed by I and III. IV was ok until they showed the Russian doping and then it got stupid.

I am not willing ot admit that Rocky V ever happened....

[Maximus of Texas]

Yes, when I saw this thread I thought of that scene from Airplane. I don't remember which Rocky it was but it was something like Rocky 50.
