Clubber Lang is much lower rated than Rocky, but he is a rookie with a lot of raw power and strength. While all of this is happening, they start showing a new fighter played by Mr. After his thing with Thunderlips, we come to see Rocky go on a rampage through many contenders and defending the heavyweight championship. It was definitely odd, but during this we see Mickey suffering from heart issues for the first time. Rocky and Thunder Lips have the weirdest wrestling match ever, one where Thunder Lips chucks Rocky seven rows deep into the crowd, gets a chair broken over his back, is put in the deadliest headlock of all-time by Rocky, and then chucked maybe six or seven inches out of the ring by Rocky to lose. In Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone was on steroids and diuretics for every fight, looking like a bodybuilder all of the sudden. In Rocky II, Sylvester Stallone was in amazing shape.

Rocky is having a charity boxing/wrestling match with this giant named Thunder Lips, who was played by professional wrestler Hulk Hogan.

These rankings also don’t include the Creed movie franchise, while incredible in its own right I believe it is it’s own beast, and it wouldn’t be fair to throw them alongside the five original Rocky movies. This ranking will be based on the original five Rocky movies, not including Rocky Balboa, mostly because it doesn’t fit with the number scheme and I don’t think many people consider it in the collection of movies, but if it interests you, it’d be dead last. While I am certainly a sports writer and analyst and wouldn’t consider myself a movie critic, when we’re speaking about the Star Wars of sports movie franchises, I think I’m allowed to step in. Scaling a mountain instead of his usual famous steps in Philadelphia, he yells Drago's name he is ready.The Rocky franchise is easily the greatest sports franchise in the history of cinema, and with its triumphant return to Netflix this month, they still all continue to stand the test of time. (I don't know what kind of mother would leave their kid home alone to watch their dad potentially get beaten to a pulp on Christmas Day live on TV, but there you are.) Adrian's presence brings a little more energy and focus to Rocky's training.

"Why can't you change your thinking, because everyone else does?" It might seem like she is going through the usual motions in this scene, but that line is key because it feeds into Rocky's appeal for peace at the end of the movie.Īfter a montage that pretty much recaps the whole "Rocky" series so far, Rocky, Paulie, and Duke are off to the frozen wastes of Russia, where Stallion will train in a woodshed under the watchful eye of the KGB while Drago works out in his high-tech facility. Let's take a closer look at how it all played out.Īdrian pleads against Rocky's motivations, as he is putting everything on the line to face Drago, and beating him won't bring Apollo back.
Politics hadn't played much of a role in the "Rocky" franchise previously, but here our determined hero had something to say about East-West relations at a time when tension between the United States and the USSR was still very high. Released the same year that John Rambo, Stallone's other iconic character, went back to Vietnam and got to win this time in "Rambo: First Blood Part II," Rocky Balboa found himself fighting for America against Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), an apparently unstoppable killing machine from the Soviet Union.
