>While filming Rocky IV (1985), Sylvester Stallone suffered broken ribs and was hospitalized in the ICU for nine days after instructing co-star Dolph Lundgren to hit him for real to maximize realism. A powerful uppercut from Lundgren caused Stallone's heart to slam against his ribcage, causing severe swelling.

That can happen during a clinch. It's the best time and place for it too. If you catch a person in between breaths they won't be flexed. They'll go down like a sack of potatoes.

The fights in Rocky IV are good, with a sense of speed and impact. The rest of it is crap. This is the one where Rocky has a robot butler, and the montage sequence is actually a full-length music video and an advert for the soundtrack album.

Rocky III is the perfect ending to the series

It would have been a perfect trilogy and you could have still had the reboot sequels later on

>Rocky I is about his rise to fame
No it fucking isn't. How do retards misremember a film this badly.

In the original film Rocky was a bum with no chance of ever being anything but a bum and the only reason he had the great big title fight is because the powerful, well-trained, and famous fighter and his manager wanted to exploit a gimmick by having him beat on a local tough. There wasn't even any hope Rocky would, it was just a contest to see how many rounds he could survive against the champ. And he didn't win, which is exactly as predicted, because he's just some fucking guy. The whole point of the movie was showing that that "just some fucking guy" could still have heart and feelings and want to make something more out of his life. Which he did, but not by winning the big prize fight or even being a serious contender. He "won" by throwing himself up against a system that wanted to break him and not letting it break him (more than physically, which it totally did).

Every single movie after that is just dumbshit "well people really liked the character so let's have him start winning and being da graytest ever!"

EXACT same shit with Rambo. "First Blood" wasn't about a supersoldier saving America by defeating all the bads because he's a physical and moral ubermensch. It was a about a very, VERY broken man, mistreated to the point of snapping, causing a lot of unnecessary chaos and pain because he, and another equally uncontrolled ego, kept throwing themselves at each other for needless spiraling carnage because neither of them could "shut it off". So of course all anyone remembers of the franchise is that he's Super Hero Gun Man.

this, I never watched First Blood until a few years ago and was surprised at how different of a movie it is, almost made me want to re-watch the other Rambos with a more watchful eye to see if any of that made it into the sequels. Love the actor that plays the local sheriff.

>imagine dying for an exhibition match
Being asked to accept that Apollo doesn't also know that's the most irritating thing about it all.
>>
>>219091581
Stallone admits that killing off Apollo was a mistake and that he only did it as shock value because he thought it would be edgy and wanted to shock. Originally he was just paralyzed from the waste down and then was going to be Rocky’s coach.
>>
>>219089057
In Rocky I he lasts the full 15 rounds against Apollo without getting knocked out, something that nobody had done before. He doesn't win the match, but he admits to Adrian beforehand that he knows he's got no chance of winning anyway, and just wants to prove to himself that he has what it takes. It's an underdog story.
In Rocky II he's pretty much ruined after the fight with Apollo, meanwhile Apollo is now desperate for a rematch because everyone's calling him a fraud and acting like he let Rocky go the distance out of pity or as a show fight. The fight at the end of that movie is both of them at their peak, and Rocky wins legit against Apollo when both of them are giving 100%.
Rocky III takes the first movie and turns it on its head, with Rocky now in Apollo's place and getting too comfortable at the top while Clubber Lang is the up-and-comer who's eager to prove himself. Their first fight mirrors Apollo vs Rocky I, with Rocky coming in to the ring all cocksure and full of himself only to get laid out by Lang who's been training his ass off. Mickey's death right after his loss sees Rocky at his lowest point ever, and Apollo comes in to help elevate Rocky to his former glory, both Apollo and Rocky now ending as friendly rivals.
It's a perfectly laid out trilogy, but IV and V don't really add anything to it.

Kickboxer already did that

>>219089057
Though less silly than its sequels, the first Rambo was also a power fantasy.

"Don't push me too far... or you'll find out about my deadly commando skills. I can use this forest to my advantage and kill you in thirty different ways."
