Rocky's intelligence improves via more blows to the head.

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2002)

In Rocky II after his amazing fight against the heavyweight champion of the world club fighter Rocky Balboa is suddenly thrust into the spotlight for his fifteen minutes of fame. Agents sign him to endorse various products yet he is quickly fired when it becomes apparent that he can barely read. Now in this third installment at the beginning of the film he can be seen doing one successful TV commercial after another. Well how did he suddenly become so smart or at least smart enough to be able to film the TV advertisements that he couldn't do only a short while earlier? I guess all the extra punches in the head during his second Apollo Creed fight and his subsequent title defenses must have helped. Two more films followed this one but none even came close to the first, which won the Oscar for best picture in 1976. Mr. T plays a sort of Mike Tyson character who wants Rocky's crown but will he get it and if he does then what?
