buckeyemike Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 This actually looks interesting. Like many of you, I grew up with these movies. So, this is intriguing, to say the least. I have no idea if it's actually good, and trailers usually show the best parts of movies, but I like the concept of a Rocky in his late 50s (with Adrian dead and his son estranged) trying to mount a comeback for one last fight. Hard to believe it's been sixteen years since "Rocky V"...which wasn't very good. Mike

The movie might have a chance. She should have croaked after the second one, all she did was suck the life out of the films.

Call it a guilty pleasure but I always loved the scenes where he trains "unconventionally" and those scenes always pumped me up...

I wonder what he has to say about the new film. 2) Adrian will appear in flashback sequences, so she's not totally absent. Mike
Phlegm Alley Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Sly Stallone looks pretty good for being 60 years old. Mason "the Line" Dixon?!?! What's this world coming to?
elcrusho Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I agree with you all that Rocky V never happened and this trailer does look interesting... Anyways at least better than Rocky V I for one will go see it on openeing night...
Rubes Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I thought it looked ridiculous. Adrian died? How and when did that happen? Maybe at the end of this movie Rocky will die too.
udonkey Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 "lets start building some hurtin' bombs..." HELL YEAH!
BillsGuyInMalta Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 When I heard Sly wanted to write and direct another Rocky movie, I cringed. But I'll admit, I did get excited watching that trailer...we'll see.
Tux of Borg Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 But will Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav be in it....
HopsGuy Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 First- 'Rocky V never happened. NEVER. We shall never speak of it again. 721168[/snapback] Ahem. I was an extra in that movie. My work ended up on the cutting room floor, but I'm telling you... it was described as "Hamlet in West Philly".
CosmicBills Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 When I heard Sly wanted to write and direct another Rocky movie, I cringed. But I'll admit, I did get excited watching that trailer...we'll see. 721304[/snapback] Originally he wrote it as a musical. I wish I were kidding.
Alaska Darin Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 More importantly, "Jackass 2" is also coming out.
Dan III Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 More importantly, "Jackass 2" is also coming out. 721365[/snapback] Trailer- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i31x45_wctc...rch=jackass%202
ajzepp Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 More importantly, "Jackass 2" is also coming out. 721365[/snapback] Oh man, I totally expected to hate the 'Jackass' movie, but I did not stop laughing from beginning til end. It completely caught me off-guard, cause I'd seen the tv show once or twice and just thought it was kinda dumb. As for Rocky, back in '83 I was eleven years old. My best friend friend calls me up and says, "hey, you wanna go see a movie?" I told him I'd love to go, and then we started talking about what we were going to see. He said he and his dad were really wanting to see Rocky III, whereas that suggestion had no appeal to me. In fact, after I told him "I'd think about it" or something like that, I remember even telling my mom how much I DIDN'T want to see this film. Anyway, I called him back and told him I'd go. I remember sitting in that theater when the film started with a replay of the ending to Rocky II (which I'd never seen) and the championship belt slowly moving across the screen, all of sudden being totally into the movie. By the time we got back home we were taking his mom's pillows into the basement and duct taping them around a pole so that we could box like Rocky. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since, and it was my first dose of, "just because you don't THINK you'll like something doesn't mean ya won't."
buckeyemike Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 But will Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav be in it.... 721306[/snapback] But they're not together anymore. There have been rumors she's married again...for the fifth or sixth time. Mike
apuszczalowski Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I never sould get into the Rocky moves, I think Stalone wrote them all in Crayon on colorful construction paper.
BuffOrange Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 1) Bill Simmons agrees. I wonder what he has to say about the new film. Yeah, Rocky V is right up there with Godfather III as things that people think happened but never actually happened. 2) Adrian will appear in flashback sequences, so she's not totally absent. Awesome. If it's anything like that scene in Rocky IV where he's driving around in his car at night in the rain after Creed dies, it should be memorable.

Mike 721162[/snapback] "....blunt force trauma" between Rocky and Jackass I wonder which movie will have more "blunt force trauma".
