John Cafferty's Song Hearts On Fire Is The Big Hightlight.

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2010)

No complaints here Sly. Masterpiece. But I still felt that the ending fight was too short and I didn't like the editing of the fight. A more extended fight sequence would have been preferable.
Great music and great action. Commendable acting by supporting actors and actresses namely Carl Weathers, Burt young, Talia Shire, Bridgette Neilson, Michael Pataki and Tony Burton.
Dolph Lundgren is absolutely phenomenal as the Russsian Boxer Ivan Drago and I think should have been given an Oscar for his performance.
Stallone looks more physically built up than we saw him earlier in Rocky 3. The fight at the end of the film is not that pacey as the one we saw in Rocky 3 against Mr. T.
The great blockbuster music is the highlight. "Hearts On Fire" by John Cafferty and "No Easy Way Out" by Robert Tepper are the best ones.
The training sequences showing both Rocky's and Drago's at the same time was Sly's genius.
The best dialogue in the film was when Rocky tells his some that "when you can go one more round when you don't think you can makes all the difference in your life". Yes this is VERY true.
Synopsis: Russian Boxer Ivan Drago wants a match against Rocky. Apollo Creed sees this as another opportunity to get into the ring. He asks Rocky a favor, to be at his side as his corner-man in a friendly exhibition match against Drago. Rocky reluctantly agrees.
Drago dominates and punishes Apollo in the fight. He delivers a last brutal punch to Apollo's head killing him instantly. Rocky is devasted. In order to honor Apollo's spirit he decides to take a rematch against Drago against Adrain's wishes.
But will Rocky triumph over Drago. See this blockbuster film of 1985 to find out. A must have for any DVD/BLU-RAY collection.
10/10. Brilliant Sly. Absolutely Brilliant.
