WyattSheepMask Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) If is set in the present, he would be 30 (assuming that Rocky IV was specifically based in 1985). Having said that, Michael B. Jordan is 28 as it is Edited July 3, 2015 by WyattSheepMask Quote
Merzbow Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah, there is no reason it has to be set in 2015. Just as long as it was set after the last Rocky film. How old was Rocky in that? It would make sense if it was set just after the Mason Dixon fight, Rockys name would be everywhere and could kindle some interest from Adonis, clips of his father are surely gonna be played in the media.

Mr_Danger Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Was watching the two best Rocky's last week and it struck me as odd that they decided to follow number 4 up with the mythical beast known as Rocky 5. Why bring a franchise back so you can end it so miserably. Oh look, Rocky just defeated the hardest man ever and avenged his friends death but now he's a cabbage and has no money and lives in the shit hole from number 1. With the exception of The Measure of a man, that film was a write off before it was even shot. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Because MGM chucked him a fuck load of money to do it Quote
Mr_Danger Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I imagine he had a fuck load of money to do Balboa as well but that wasn't so fucking depressing. Anyway, Creed has a fighting chance of being decent. Warrior is a cracking Rocky homage and Creed will have the advantage of having actual Rocky in it. Tony Bellew is the baddie though so it'll probably be more like the last one than 3 or 4. Quote

Rocky moved back into the house he bought in Rocky II, but compared to the mansion he lived in Rocky III and IV it did look like a shit hole. Quote
Paid Members Maverick Posted July 3, 2015 Paid Members Posted July 3, 2015 Was it not Paulie and Adrian's old house. The IRS took everything he had in Rocky 5, only reason he still had the gym was because Mickey left it to Rocky Jr. Quote
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 This has reminded how ridiculously good Rocky Balboa was, it should have been absolute shite yet managed to be as good as Rocky 2 Quote
Porkchopcash Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 The thing about Rocky Balboa was, to me it felt to much like i was watching Slyvester Stallone instead of Rocky. I never got that with the first 5. I actually really enjoy Rocky 5. If they had have had a boxing match at the end instead of a streetfight it would have been a worthy effort. I know its not for everyone though. Creed looks like a cross between Rocky Balboa and Rocky 5 to me. Will give it a watch though. Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted July 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2015 Rocky Balboa may be my favourite. It is far far better than it has any right to be. The perfect blend of nostalgia, sentimentality, guts and glory. It has superb rewatchabilty. Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted July 4, 2015 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2015 I fist pumped and cheered in the cinema at Rocky Balboa - the first Rocky I'd ever seen. Quote
Guest Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 My fist clenched up through the training montage then the fight in Rocky balboa. Anyone who says its shit hasn't seen it or is just a joyless cunt Quote
