Just like with the other Rocky and Rambo flics, I will wait until they show up on TV, and I don't mean Pay Per View.

I don't think you'll have a long wait after the 'release'. Should go straight to the discount dvd bin at Wal-Mart.

Apollo died at the hand of the Russian fighter (Drago) in Rocky IV. Just who did they bury at the cematary?

[Sgt_Schultze]

cematary = cemetery

Satirical right hook.

[Alexander Rubin]

As satire goes, I give this a B.

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! My thoughts exactly.

Angeles—For yet a sixth time, there is to be another Rocky sequel.

I know it's satire, but simple facts need to be right. "Rocky Balboa" ("Rocky 6") will be the fifth sequel, not the sixth. It will be the sixth installment in the franchise.

I ran in to Lee Canalito in Houston the other day. Lee was in one of the old Stallone films, Paradise Alley. Lee is another one of those 50+ year old guys that is in amazing shape.

Nice guy too.

The story will pick up with the fictional prize fighter retired and a widower in a retirement home—meaning no Adrian—who, now broke and after a attempting to overdose on Viagra, agrees to take on Apollo Creed for a third time in a nursing home bout to duke it out for their Social Security retirement.

Nursing home at age 60? IIRC we use to joke about doing a Rocky movie with two old cogers with strollers in a nursing home....and, it sounds like they went ahead and produced that joke.

I never watched the first five.., they were that bad..and I'm even from the Philly area.

We made a student film in high school, satirical, that was funnier than this article. Our character was named Rocky Bal-Movement.

I think you all missed this little tag line at the end of the article....

As satire goes, I give this a B.

You must be grading on a weak curve. This piece has two jokes (Wheel Chair, Social Security), both get flogged to death. I would be hard pressed to score this a C.

Did you hear the one about the little old lady in the old folks home that had a lot of retired police officers? She was rolling down the hallway and out jumped one of the oldies from a room and heard the man say "slow down your going to fast", she said "yes officer", as she continued down the hall at the next room another old officer jumped out and demanded "Let me see your license to drive that" she handed him a candy wrapper from her bag and he said "OK you can go" she replied thank you officer and continued down the hall, at the next doorway out jumped a naked old man right in front of her, surprised she exclaims "Oh no not the breathalyzer again".

--as with any other film connected in any way with the anti-gun hypocrite-(and complete a-hole) "Sly" Stallone, I will wait until hell freezes over before seeing it--

[AbeKrieger]

Producers are said to be talking with former actor, Carl Weathers, to reprise his role as a wrinkled Apollo Creed.

Wait a second... is this going to be one of those Dallas-style dream sequences where the prior movies never happened? I remember seeing Apollo creed killed by the Russian figher.

...after a attempting to overdose on Viagra,

??? Was he planning to impale himself?
