Eye of the Tiger - another great classic 80's best sequel in the Rocky saga, my second personal favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2019)

Another classic the greatest sequel in the "Rocky" trilogy of the 80's. Rocky III come out the same year as "First Blood". It is a different third entry in the Rocky saga from the first two movies. It is in an Eye of the Tiger different style. After Sly completed Rocky II in 1979, Sly wrote a script for the third movie so that he completed the Rocky trilogy saga. Sylvester Stallone beautiful wrote a script, acted and directed. This was my third Rocky film of the five films I saw in the 90's. It is my number 2 favorite Rocky film of all time and I love this movie to death! Rocky III in my opinion is better than First Blood and it is my second personal favorite movie of all time.
"Getting out while you can? Don't give this sucker no statue. Give him guts! I told you I wasn't going away. You got your shot, now give me mine."
This time Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) will have to face the most dangerous opponent ever, wild Clubber Lang (Mr. T). Rocky is at top of his game, he is still a heavyweight champion, he earns his money with making commercials, he is famous and defends his title 10 times. His life wouldn't get any better until black boxer Clubber Lang comes along and chalenges Rocky to a fight. He accepts the match, but his maneger Mickey (Burgess Meredith) tell's him that his old times are over. Rocky dosen't listen to him goes in a ring and loses his fight in 2 rounds and his maneger dies. But Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) comes out of retirement to help Rocky to beat the new champion once more and rise from the grace.
Yes this is another best classic sequel in the Rocky franchise that I love to death! I watched this movie on VHS as a kid and I watch it over TV. I am huge fan of Rocky this was an a pair with Rocky IV. This movie has inspirational speach I would say this movie motiveted me more in life than the first movie. After Rocky loses his match against Clubber Lang his title and his maneger Mickey (Burgess Meredith) dies. Rock is dawn, but Apollo gives him hope and he motivated him: "Look, man. When you beat me, I hurt all over. I didn't wanna know from nobody, not even my kids. Every fighter knows that hurt. We get sick inside trying to live with it, so don't back off now. Make it right for yourself or you'll be sorry you didn't." You lost that fight for all the wrong reasons. You lost your edge. I know your manager dying had you all messed up inside. But the truth is you didn't look hungry. Now when we fought, you had that eye of the tiger, man, the edge. Now you gotta get it back, and the way to do it is to go back to the beginning. Maybe we could win it back together. Eye of the tiger, man."
The best of this sccreenplay Sly wrote is "Make it right for yourself or you'll be sorry you didn't." That's right you make mistake you have to fix it or you will be sorry you didn't. That's what this movie is about "Fall and Rise from the bottom."
I love the training sequence, beautiful music score from Bill Conti. I love the opening logo of Rocky in opening sequence excellent. The second fight between Rocky and Clubber wasn't realistic boxers don't fight like that. That is why Rocky I and II succeed better. I love Rocky III to death it is my fourth favorite Rocky film. Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed did a great job acting his beloved character. Kudos to Carl when he helps Rocky and trains him to prepare against a fighter Rocky never fought before. I love the chemistry between Mick and Rocky they were a dream team. Burgess Meredith was excellent as Mickey. Mr. T was excellent as Clubber Lang, with all the candidates he got the part. When the movie was premiered Mr T whent watching this movie with his mom. Talia Shire as Adrian is a hot mama in this movie she is not shy anymore and she support Rocky in this movie while in Rocky II she did not support his decision. Hulk Hugan pro wrestler, actor, television personality also appears in this movie. It was his first movie Hogan playes Wrestler Thunderlips. Great choreography from Stallone even the boxing matches. You see Sly fighting more fighters than just one. I love the soundtrack Eye of the Tiger from Survivor the best movie of all time. I love the finale no one knows which hit first was it Rocky or Apollo.
I don't have much to say, but I love this movie to death I love it, it is my childhood movie. Rocky III is a great classic 80's best sequel, it is my second personal favorite Rocky movie of all time. I miss Sylvester Stallone and his movies, he use to make in the 80's and 90's. I really wish Sly best with his new upcoming movies, his health and his life.
