"He said he felt the time was right to slip on the gloves one last time given the currents going on in his own life, especially as an aging action star that's broke. "
Is this true? He must have had low-8 digit income over his career, I see no excuse for being broke.
drago needs to come back in rocky vi
I think he meant "bated."
"The American is small and weak. Destroy him"
What a pep-talk
"I must break you" - Drago
"If he dies, he dies." /Dragoooooooooooooooooo! DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Umm get your facts straight, this is the sixth. The fifth was when Tommy Gunn(played by heavyweight Tommy Morrison) was Rockys student who broke off from him because he didnt like being called Rockies clone.
Yeah, but who can blame the guy? Rocky number five was a real stinker!! And on a side note, Tommy came out a couple of years ago to say he had AIDS.
It would be the 6th movie, but the 6th movie is the 5th sequel.
And actually Stalone is trying to drum up support for another Rocky, which frightens me terribly.
Thank you. I could never forget a movie as awful as Rocky V. They made Rocky get brain damage, so after all his years of progress since the first film, he was back in the black leather, bouncing that stupid rubber ball and telling Adrian silly knock-knock jokes.
Rocky has been milked to the last drop. Now Rambo on the other hand... they could do a pretty awesome Rambo movie these days, what with the war in the Middle East.
I knew that, he also did a charity boxing match in Japan because they were the only ones who would allow a boxer with AIDS to perform.

Not me, I have loved the Rocky movies, even the bad ones.
There are good Rocky movies?! Sorry I know it's doctrine within the world of sports movies that Rocky 1 is the best sports movie ever but I found it monotonous except the moments that were unintentially funny, and they just went downhill from there.
But Apollo was killed in ROCKY IV! How are they gonna bring him back?
Rambo was a lot of fun, huge gaping plot holes but fun. It would be nice to get a couple more action movies staring guys with large pectoral muscles again (ie real action movies). The worst part about modern movies is the general lack of proper action stars.
True. I've come to like The Rock quite a bit in action movies, though. I thought The Rundown was great, and I even enjoyed that Walking Tall remake he did. He seems to be cut from the same cloth as those great 80's action stars.
Speaking of pecs, Stallone was so juiced-up on the roids by Rocky IV, you could pretty much isolate every muscle in his body.
You never grew up in my house, my dad was a boxing coach and all of my brothers and me were boxers. We loved the Rocky movies, even if they were bad.
BTW the best sports movie ever was CHamp. Ricky Schroeder crying still makes me get stuff in my eyes.
