By now the formula was starting to look stale, although two further sequels followed this tired effort. The opponent here is Mr T, before he became a star in The A-Team, who takes Sylvester Stallone's championship crown; Rocky then battles to reclaim it. Writer/director Stallone once again finds roles for Talia Shire as his long-suffering wife, Carl Weathers, Burt Young and Burgess Meredith, but the story is predictable and it all goes a little flat outside the ring.
Rocky fighting Hulk Hogan and Mr T along with a brilliant song, all in the one movie what more do you need?
TO ME, THIS ROCKY FILM IS THE BEST OUT OF THE 5 ROCKY FILMS MADE. IT'S ALSO THE MOST REALISTIC OUT OF THEM ALL.
IT'S GOT THE BEST CAST OUT OF THE 5 FILMS, AND HAS A MORE DARKER SIDE TO IT.
YOU GET A TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE HE HAS GOT SINCE WINNING THE TITLE, BUT THEN AFTER GETTING HAMMERED, HE SETS UP A RE-MATCH, YOU GET TO SEE THE MORE BLOOD AND SWEAT SIDE, THE BACK STREETS, THE UNDERGROUND TRAINING GYMS, THE WAY IT USED TO BE BEFORE HE BECAME 'ROCKY'!!
BRILLIANT RE-MATCH AT THE END, AND TO ME THE MOST FEARSOME FIGHT SCENES IN THE ROCKY COLLECTION.
CLUBBER LANG (MR-T) IS SUPERB AS THE SUPERSTRONG SLUGGER.
WELL WORTH WATCHING....AND THE FIGHT SCENE AT THE END WILL DEFINATELY HAVE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!!!
ROCKY..ROCKY...ROCKY!!!!
