I didn't appreciate it as much as Wedgie did - an absolutely ludicrous plot and sooooo predictable with every Rocky cliche under the sun you just tick them off one after the other (gets badmouthed at media conference, hooks up with shy girl, yeah...pummels meat, oops there goes a training montage, run up the steps? You betcha!). But like even the worst Rocky films (and this is no way near the worst Rocky films) the fight is incredible and makes it all worthwhile. A strong way to end the series. Mrs ZZ absolutely adored it BTW which freaked me out.

Bring on Rambo 4!


Agreed!!!

Dead Kennedys:- Rambozo the Clown
"Hey Rocky, watch me pull a massacre outa my pants!"... "Again!?!" :lol:

I kinda got the feeling Ralphy Sewer's :wink: being a tad sarcastic here spaznutz! :roll:
The 'Stop or my Mom Will Shoot!' reference was a dead giveaway! :lol:
Although 'First Blood' was a good movie reflecting the torment, harrasment & final retaliation of a
decorated Green Beret just returned from Nam & not fitting into post-war American society...
'Rambo' & specially 'Rambo III' were Reagan-era, Septic, flag waving "U.S.A! U.S.A!"
propaganda, cartoonish loads of unrealistic, unbelievable video game type wank!
Like 'Iron Eagle' where some snot nose teenage dorks pinch a F-18 & subsequently go off & successfully invade Lybia! :lol:

...Then again, you probably thought that 'Judge Dredd' was Academy Award material! :wink: :lol:
GO THE GROWL!!!

Rob Schneider's 'Adrian' gag deserved an Oscar.

More than Phil Collins ever did...

Anyone else shattered by the (alleged) fact Sly was caught with human growth hormones? I thought he got buff by running up stairs and pummeling bovine. Never trust anyone over 60.

Saw Rocky Balboa last night and thought it was a great way to end the Rocky saga
(assuming it is the last movie of this series).
finished up as it started, losing on a points decision but it sets a great example to all
that u can be a winner despite losing.
