It makes no sense

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2005)

I'd actually like to give this less than zero, but before I rant on it, I would like to say something interesting. Those Rocky fanatics, who are a pathetic race, will recall in Rocky III, when Apollo takes Rocky to L.A. to train against Clubber Lang, and Paulie gets on Apollo's nerves, Rocky says," he grows on you, it just takes six years," Apollo responds "I ain't got six years" how right you were Apollo, how right you were. Now let's think of this logically. Your friend is killed by somebody, your natural response is to fist fight him, because afterwords, when the fight is over, if you hit him more times then he hits you, it will make up for your friends death. Does that makes any sense what so ever? Hasn't Rocky heard of a gun? Who's weiner did sly have to suck to get this piece off the ground. What makes the film even funnier, is that we find out in Rocky five, that when Rocky went to Russia, his accountant took all of his money, and the fight with Drago damaged his eye so much that he can't make any more real money as a boxer, so its back to having nothing, like he started. I know, I have way to much knowledge about the Rocky films, but that's what happens when it airs on T.N.T., EVERY DAY!, BUT THEY DON'T AIR THE ONLY GOOD ONE, THE ORIGINAL ROCKY!. It's also kind of funny they had James Brown is in this Rocky, who would eventually go to jail a few years after airing this film. Hmm too think that when Apollo Creed handpicked Rocky in the first movie, that he killed himself, if he doesn't meet Rocky, Rocky doesn't beat the heck out of him, making him into a shell of a fighter, who gets killed in a point-less match, in which the same Rocky, doesn't throw in the towel when he should have. The irony is so thick. Rocky's original idea is based on Chuck Wepner, and then after that it's base don Joe Frazier, from the bad eye, training by hitting meat, and being from Philly, as far as I recall Frazier never fought some dirty stinking Russian though. Now he did fight Mr. T., (they call him George Foreman in real life), that's why Rocky loses in two rounds, Frazier, lost to Foreman in two rounds, in their heavyweight title fight of 1973. The fight was after Frazier's manager died, wow ain't that interesting, didn't Rock'y manager approach death before the T. fight, quite a similarity. You see Stallone can't do anything creative on his own, he stole the idea of Rocky from Wepner who actually went through all the real stuff, and he stole other stuff from Joe Frazier, this movie marks Stallon coming up with an idea on his own, and it involves fighting some big Russian for U.S. pride. No wonder this movie won for worst movie of the year. Also, now granted Apollo was past his prime, but if all these movies were true, then that means Rocky and Apollo were about even at the beginning, with each fighter winning one fight, but then a guy who is good enough to kill Apollo, is not good enough simply to win against Rocky. That's a pretty big gap, almost as much as the gaping hole in which Stallon's career jumped in to by making this trash, someone called a film.
