heres a link on you tube its got the fight with the russian and the training scene. if your set on watching rocky for the first time then you might not want to have it spoilt because it really should be enjoyed the first time in the movie. real inspiration stuff

Rocky IV was the best. Rocky III was close, but Rocky IV has it all - cool montages (one while driving a Lamborghini no-less), the death of Apollo, Dolph Lungren not experiencing past life regression and yeah... good fun.

I'm gonna have to get a copy of Rocky III though, I haven't seen it in ages!

hire all five and watch them one after the other. number one may feel abit slow compared to todays movies but it is really worth the wait. you see how he changes his life and fightin style over the series and he is really training. number 3 and 4 see's him so cut and you just cant believe how strong he is. there wouldnt be much special effects just raw strength from stallone.

Options could be.

1#Yes.
2#No.
3#Who cares.
4# Rocky and Bullwinkle?


P.S. Is it true the next rocky movie has Sly fighting from a wheelchair in the retirement home?...

I also saw the latest rocky on dvd, it is slow but stays true to the original lots of flashbacks etc..but when he starts straining again make you want quit smoking, dust off the old gym set and build some hurting bombs! :

For all the sly fans it appears rambo will follow rocky back from retirement and go get bin laden as a favor to george w! out:

I voted 4 but 3 was darn good as well, as was 2, as was one. Funnily enough, I don't actually think I've seen 5!

I got the latest Rocky on DVD and watched it a couple of weeks ago. The first hour is rubbish, then it build up and the fight at the end is what saves it from being the worst movie of all time. IMO, they shouldn't of bothered making Rocky VI (Officially called Rocky Balboa), but that's just me.

From the list, I voted Rocky IV as my Fave.

Loved this new Movie, as usual they managed to get you swinging upper cuts in your chair and swearing at the screen
