Eye of The Tiger
Hearts on Fire
No Easy Way Out
War
Going To Fly Now
Mickey
Measure of a Man
Thunder in Your Heart
Training Montage
Burning Heart
Final Countdown
Streets of Philadelphia
Real American
Enter: The Sandman

What else should I add to get me pumped to take on a steroid monster?

Needs some Rocky II flair!

One of the more under-rated variations on the iconic song that's perfect for extreme exertion... "Pick up that Log!"

"Conquest" [for that epic showdown]

For your cooldown/recovery period: "Redemption" (road to the hospital song)

Finally! I can't believe the prices, $300 or more for one out of production since 2013. I will definitely get a champion Rocky pop! Thank you for sharing!

What would happen if Apollo had fought Clubber Lang? What about Clubber Lang vs. Drago?

I feel Apollo would've beaten Clubber Lang without much issue, he had the experience Rocky didn't which is what made Clubber a challenge for him. Drago vs Clubber seems more interesting to me, you'd think that Drago being the "machine" that he is he would've won but perhaps he could've been taken by surprise by Clubber's style?
Then again I'm not the rocky expert, I've only watched the movies once and it was like 5 years ago.

Apollo would have definitely had the speed to evade most of Lang's power punches. Possibly, he could have tired him out as the fight dragged out. At that point in his career, I don't know if he had enough power or stamina to withstand the Lang punches that might connect or to counter with his own knockout blows (like Rocky decided to do in the later rounds). Ultimately though, I think Creed has an easy time with Lang than Rocky.

Lang vs. Drago... I think Lang loses because of the reach advantage and Drago's (chemically enhanced?) ability to endure a long fight. Drago probably has deceptive speed and reflexes, so I don't think that bodes well for Lang's chances either.

Stallone talks Rocky rights and Creed 3:

~~Leo656~~ · 11-08-2022, 08:37 AM

Man, what a sh*tty business. No regard at all for creators' rights. "These words on paper mean more than doing the morally upstanding thing. Legally, we owe you nothing, so Get F*cked, ya dumb Guido." That's essentially how they played him. Just horrible.

"All I'm askin' you t'leave on the table is what's right." Guess those guys didn't watch that movie. F*cking lousy.

At least he and Dolph patched it up, I was sad to see them in a spat. At their age it's time to let any lingering tension or misunderstandings lie. Hogan and Ric Flair are friends. Flair and Eric Bischoff are friends. Bischoff and Steve Austin are friends. People need to clear the air, life is too short.

Still if not Sly then I am not interested.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-08-2022, 09:22 AM

Yeah, I liked both Creed movies a lot, way more than I thought I would for sure, they're very good movies but going forward with no Rocky involvement at all is not something I'm the least bit interested in.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-12-2022, 02:44 PM

Damn, Stallone says he won't even watch Creed 3. Like that.

I guess forget about a small cameo then.

Never seen this. What a great interview.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-20-2023, 01:41 PM

Stallone again calling out Winkler. BUT he actually shares some snippets of his Rocky 7 script about Rocky training an illegal immigrant that Winkler vetoed.

Rocky is my stepdad’s absolute favorite franchise. He eventually got me into it.

Couldn't he like change the characters names and make the movie himself?

Yeah. If he's able and willing to fund it all himself. But he won't because nobody is going to pay in the theater to see that. But if it's Rocky, then...

*oldmanwinters* · 03-08-2023, 02:12 PM

So I just noticed an promotional email in my inbox for a new 4K Rocky film collection...

But it's being released by Warner Bros.
https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/ro...tm_source=sfmc
https://view.updates.warnerbros.com/...aa2502e6ca114c
Huh?

Also, it's only the first four films along with the first disc release of the Rocky vs. Drago cut of Rocky IV.

I'm really tempted to get it even though I don't own a 4K TV or player, as it supposedly comes with digital redeemable codes. Because the Rocky films have always been under the MGM banner, the digital copies are not compatible with MoviesAnywhere, the internet's current leader in digital movie lockers, but I'm very curious if WB's involvement might soon change that.
