Rocky IV (1985)
Member Rating:  
The third sequel to Sylvester Stallone's boxing blockbuster combines the ringside sports melodrama of the previous installments with the Cold War patriotism of the star/director's other motion picture series of the 1980s, the Rambo saga. Stallone is back as Rocky Balboa, the heavyweight champion of the world and now good friend of his one-time nemesis, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Creed is brutally slaughtered in the boxing ring during a lop-sided exhibition match against the superhuman Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), an event that Rocky takes personally. Vowing revenge against Drago in the name of Creed and the United States, Rocky is invited to the Soviet Union for a matchup and hires Creed's former manager (Tony Burton) to get him in shape. While Drago trains using the latest technology, Rocky's ascetic preparations are a low-key affair of carrying logs up hills through knee-deep Russian snow. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    This movie inspired and motivated me to hit the gym hard. Stallone plays his role to a T and Drago looks like a prototype of of human that belongs in the year 2500. The plot is amazinging and the end is even better. I don't care if you hate boxing, this movies is a must see. I can honestly say that I have seen this movie over 100 times. I actually still listen to the soundtrack evrey time I'm at the gym. All in all this is a feel good movie end I promise it will leave you with a smile. I highly recommended it for all ages!

    If you don't like this movie, you should really think of moving out of the US.

    While watching this one, I thought I was watching Rocky III again. The death of an ally caused by the actions of a tough new heavyweight challenger. Rocky's desire for revenge by scheduling a bout with this tough new guy. And hardly any scenes of Philadelphia, which added to so much of the charm of the first two Rocky movies.
