Apollo Creed movie

To be fair they are all shit

Just cant believe Stallone as a heavyweight boxer. The fights are crap and massively over acted like the wrestling where he's taking a hiding and on the verge of Alzheimer's then suddenly becomes the strongest man in the world and wins. Just rubbish.

You take that back now! Rocky 1 - 4 are brilliant.

I can not.

I cringe when I see them. You know what lets them down? The actual fucking fights!!

The training and the fights are the best bits along with the music. Leave now and pos this on you unpopular opinions.

The fights are terrible! Even nodding dogs don't react as much as Stallone does when he takes a shot in the films.

Also, who the fuck would think it was a good idea to train in the freezing cold punching animal carcasses? Who would risk their job by letting their mate come in and ruin the meat they are supposed to sell?

Just cheesy rubbish.

I like the making of Balboa- Tarver & Stallone threw real shots at each other. Tarver had to lay back, because Sly was pretty swollen by the final take.

Side note: Stallone's Rocky IMO made pro-wrasslin' a household name, Not McMahon- Hulk Hogan became a phenom after Thunder Lips- McMahon was privileged as the NWA & AWA folded to the division Thunder lips went to WWWE. & B.A. Baracus (Mr.T)- man, Rocky the movie has done so much.

Yeah, the fight scenes were pretty cheesy, but how many boxing movies aren't cheesy?

I agree most boxing film fight scenes are crap.

If I was making a boxing film id get real boxers, that look as close to the actors as possible and get them to spar hard.

Its the most important bit of the film and always ends up looking shit. Always pulled punches, massive over reaction to any landed punch. Never looks realistic.

This is true. I saw Hogan wrestle on the undercard of a Mil Mascaras match in LA and the mexican fans loved him. He was a bad guy in NY at the time but the movie had come out...

Just cheesy rubbish.

The point of the training was to show new technology versus old traditional methods also hard work beats drug cheating Russians.

I was on about Rocky punching pig carcasses in a freezer. But yeah, if your training someone to fight a massive fight, or put it this way, I doubt very much Floyd or Manny are going to go out in the snow pulling horse carts...

It was the 2nd worst of the movies.

When I was a teenager my order of preference was

4, 3, 2, 1 5

Now I'm older and recognize the merits of each film

1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5

I would agree that 6 is for the more nostalgic fan

But fuck off anyway
