Description
Rocky - The 1976 Oscar winner for Best Picture, John G Avildsen's Rocky is
the story of a down-and-out club fighter who gets his million-to-one shot at a
world championship title. In the title role, Sylvester Stallone (who also penned
the screenplay) draws a carefully etched portrait of a loser who, in Brando-esque
fashion, "coulda been a contender". Rocky then becomes one thanks to a publicity
stunt engineered by current champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), while finding
love courtesy of timid wallflower Adrian (Talia Shire) along the way. Burgess
Meredith revives the spirit of 1940's genre pictures through his scenery-chewing
performance as Rocky's trainer. An enormously entertaining film, Rocky is
irresistible in its depiction of an underachiever who has the courage to start
all over again--a description that could have been applied to Stallone's own
life at the time. --Kevin Mulhall
Rocky 2 - The Italian Stallion returns for a rematch with Apollo Creed, hoping,
finally, to capture the heavyweight title. This time, even his girlfriend,
Adrian, gives Rocky her blessing. Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed this
exciting follow-up, with Burgess Meredith, Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, and Burt
Young all reprising their roles from the first film.
Rocky 3 - Rocky's lifestyle of wealth and idleness is suddenly shaken when a
powerful fighter challenges him to a fight for the championship. After being
beaten, the previously over-confident Rocky resumes his training in preparation
for a re-match.
Rocky 4 - A World Heavyweight Boxing contest is to be staged between the champ,
Rocky Balboa and the Soviet amateur champion, Ivan Drago. Both men know that
this is more than just a tough contest of strength and skill.
Rocky 5 - Times are hard for Rocky Balboa. A lifetime of taking punches has
terminated his boxing career and a crooked accountant has left him in financial
difficulties. The Balboa family moves back to its roots in a downtown
neighbourhood where an aspiring boxer turns to the champ for training...
Rocky Balboa - The sixth installment of the Rocky series picks up the story of
the Italian Stallion 16 years after the morose Rocky V. And sure, at his
advanced age, Sylvester Stallone now looks like one of those sides of beef his
character used to pound on. No matter. Somehow you buy the premise after all
these years, even if it takes forever for Rocky Balboa to stop wallowing in
self-pity (Adrian is dead, his old haunts are demolished) and get down to the
business of drinking raw eggs and running up steps. The business at hand is an
unlikely exhibition fight with champion Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver), which the
near-sexagenarian Mr. Balboa has no business accepting. Of course, just as sure
as the horns of Bill Conti's theme music are even now trumpeting through your
head, the ol' Rock might have a punch or two left in him. Stallone wrote and
directed, and there isn't much to say except that the movie steps in its
pre-determined paces with a canny sense of what has come before (it's
practically an homage to all the previous Rocky pictures, complete with fleeting
flashbacks). Burt Young is around again, and Geraldine Hughes makes an
appealing, rather chaste female companion for Rocky. Stallone's Rocky has gotten
suspiciously articulate over the years, but he still knows how to slouch. If
Stallone never forgets that, he can probably keep the franchise rolling.
--Robert Horton

Customer Reviews
ROCKY - The Complete Saga. ..Too good to miss.
ROCKY, 1-5 Each of these films leaves you wanting more. This is a boxing rags to riches epic, bound together with a love story and the family problems that go with it.
The characters in each movie are powerful, so you will either love or hate each as they come and go.
The last in the series Rocky Balboa shows older Rocky reminiscing about his life, while showing you how he has got on after boxing.
