Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?
YOUUUU CAN DO IT ROCKY! YOU CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Beat that walking talking Mason Dixon off! Should have been more exciting if RJJ was Mason well if Rock would beat Tarver's ass off I'd love to see that.
Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?
man i heard many moons ago when tyson was in the prime of his debt that he was considered for the part of the opponent in rocky 6. that was when he was considering doin the porno with jenna jameson. it would have been much better than tarver (even though mr t's character clubber lang was based on tyson).

HOLLYWOOD - Sylvester Stallone regrets signing up to make a sixth Rocky movie, and wishes he had listened to his wife's protests when he was initially offered the role.
Jennifer Flavin burst into tears when the 60-year-old revealed he would be reprising his role as boxing champ Rocky Balboa, because she was worried about the strain a rigorous training routine would have on him.
And Stallone admits she may have been right. He says, "She was absolutely right. I mean, she was just defending her husband from what actually was a totally crazy idea, but now she likes it."
Stallone was convinced to take the role because the last film was such a disappointment. He adds, "I know Rocky V disappointed a lot of people. I felt the same way about it and that was gnawing away at me every time people said to me they liked the first four but...
"When the option of Rocky VI came up I thought the time was right to do another one, just to make sure it was finished properly. That's just what life is like."
Think he's talking more about the wear and tear it took on his body rather then the actual movie.
Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?
And I will forever b ein debt to the Rocky series....for Rocky III gave us Thunderlips and subsequently Hulk Hogan.

Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?
I saw KING KONG last christmas and it was great. I'm seeing Rocky Balboa this Christmas and it's going to be great.

Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?
I have to say I'm looking forward to it. As a series it got progressively less realistic and more of a cheap and easy way of cashing in and making Stallone and co some big bucks. I resented that part of it and always wished they would go back to their roots and make a film like Rocky 1 again. They never did.
BUT and it's a big BUT.....in spite of my feelings about the Rocky films degenerating into cheap commericial pieces of entertainment WWF style they still move me in a way no other film can.
I don't know about you guys but no matter how much I want to criticise the Rocky films, and especially this absurd idea of a comeback at nearly 60 years of age, I still get goosebumbs all over my entire body as soon as the trailer starts :-\
I almost resent the sensations these films bring out in my body, like I shouldn't be as gullible to get all emotional over some tacky crap but I can't help it! As soon as Rocky comes on the screen and the music starts, thats it, all over body tingling!
So I decide what the hell, even if the film sucks it still gives my body a nice stimulation for a couple hours, so I'll just sit back and enjoy the tingles :P

That has nothing to do with how the movie is. Stallone regrets making it because of the strain it took on his body to train
Re: Is anyone else excited for Rocky?

Are you kidding? I grew up around two of the biggest hulkamaniacs there are and I would be scared to find out what would happen if I didn't worship the Hulkster.
We need a Hogan smiley.

More than likely Clubber lang was a take of george foreman, Creed was obviously an ali spin off, and Drago wasn't really a spin off of anyone at the time. Of course tyson seemed to be a much better mold for lang after he showed up and The klitschko's look to be a good mold for drago but the fact of the matter is they weren't around b4 the characters were thought up.
