I think 13 years is long enough for Big H to wait for a reply to his thread.
Rocky V was the worst of the original series for sure, although Richard Gant was good as Mr George Washington Duke.
My order of preference would be I, III, IV, II, Balboa, V.
The Creeds are very enjoyable, and I especially enjoyed the resurrection of Ivan Drago in this latest one. I’m one of those rare types that has spent the past 33 years wondering what happened to Ivan, and now I know. Hopefully Clubber Lang bobs up somewhere in Creed III.
To think, when Big H posted this the iPhone didn’t exist, Facebook was still only for American college students, Instagram was four years away and Twitter was only a month old.
Has anyone heard from Rick Rack? I had a strange thought tonight as I was trying to get the kids down that I must look up what happened to Francisco Bojado… I remember he used to have ‘Bad Boy Bojado’ under his profile picture. Funny the things you remember.
Rocky V did not happen it went to 6. It was all a dream.
Tossup between 1 & III. Original set it off, but the dialogue from Mr. T, to ThunderLips was one of a kind. careers..plural took off after III
Rocky V - a film any Rocky fan should only watch once
I have never watched it after I found out he was not boxing but training. My son has seen clips and wants me to watch it and know more about Tommy Morrison but I refuse.
It’s relevant only to explain how he’s brain damaged and bankrupt.
I think it is underappreciated. It is a move back to storytelling only not quite as good. I enjoy it. It’s a story of getting older and having that mid life crisis.
Creed 2 arrived in the post today on DVD, we used to have family outings to watch Rocky but now more difficult with 4 grandkids, don’t tell me the result, yo Adrienne!
It is a good film and the music is good.
