East vs. West, Man against Man, Can any nation Stand Alone?

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2002)

The fourth installment of "Rocky" was one of my personal favorites other than the original movie back in 1976. Rocky travels to The Soviet Union to fight Ivan Drago after Drago kills Apollo Creed in Las Vegas. It seems that the only song that I have thinking about since the terrorist attacks of September 11th was "Living In America" by James Brown. Also in the movie they showed two different training styles. Rocky using whatever he has and Drago in a State-Sponsored training facility. The fight scenes in Moscow to me were entertaining and you could sense the momentum swing towards the Stallion. Basically, Drago had the Soviet Union behind him and Rocky putting the pride of the U.S.A. on the line. Like others have said, they should have stopped the Rocky series after this film. Also this film was the last link to the days of the Cold War.
