    rocky balboa is pants, even worse than 5.....i like the one where he fights Mr T for pure comedy, although the best fight is probably against that russian dude, whatever his name is....

    The first one is the only genuinely really good film. The others are entertaining, but that's all.

    id have to agree with you there

    but its still a bit of a boring movie and the otheres have mr t, hulk hogan AND james brown, what more does a series need?!?!

    Haven't seen the new one but rocky 4 is the best for me. Pure propaganda but it's a laugh. :shocking:

    Did you know Stallone wrote the script to the first one?

    He had nothing in the bank and was offered $75,000 for the script, he kept turning them down even when it got to $250,000 .. insisting he wanted to be the star of the movie .. the rest is history.

    Correct. The others are alright, if you take them for what they are (although I thought 'Rocky 4: Rocky wins the Cold War' was maybe a step to far!) but number one is a proper film...

    Either the first or Rocky Balboa, both were superb.

    First was the best film, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were all very very entertaining. 5th was shite! Not seen Balboa

    My fave is the original and I've always had a soft spot for Rocky 4. Rocky Balboa is pretty damn good though, too :thumb:

    Didn't they want Burt Reynolds to play Rocky? That's what I heard anyway. It's a great film, but it's still shocking that it won the Best Film oscar ahead of Taxi Driver. Although since it's the oscars, maybe not that shocking.

    Rocky four was very good, first time i saw it as a ickle kid i cried when Apollo was killed.

    Though i think Clubber Lang might have been the best opponent!

    hahaha awsome lines, one ofmy personal favourites is:

    "so clubber, what do you predict for the fight? ......pain"
    and the obvious classics, "you will lose":ivan drago and "i must break you": also ivasn drago

    "You knock him down how 'bout tryin' knockin' me down."

    "My ring's outside."

    "Your nose is broken." "How does it look?" "An improvement."

    And let's not forget Eye of the Tiger. :D
