Back to the neighborhood

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2005)

Rocky and family end up broke because the stupid brother-in-law Paulie gave power-of -attorney to crooked accountants while Rocky and Adrienne were in Russia.....They end up back in the same old neighborhood....pet shop and all. Rocky is retired because it's discovered he has brain damage.....so he trains a an up-and coming fighter from Oklahoma named Tommy Gunn...Things are going well until a shady promoter (in the Don King mode) lures him away with money,cars,limos and a red-headed, big-breasted bimbo ......A big promoted fight takes place and the media deem the fight as a 'joke' saying Gunn's opponent was not worthy as a legit contender...and the reporters have a field day........This time Tommy turns on Rocky walking into the bar and calling him out to fight......Paulie goes "brain dead" saying to Tommy "you're a piece of dirt" "get out before I smash you" pushes Tommy......Tommy,not scared and why would he be,punches Paulie in the mouth knocking him on the floor with probably a few teeth.....Rocky come to defend..............First of all...the character of Paulie is completely devoid of 'common sense'......Did he actually think he was going to intimidate Tommy?! A regular guy against a boxer! Real smart Paulie.......you got what you deserved! Regular guys who are not trained boxers or blackbelts in martial arts CANNOT win against a boxer ....A boxer's hands are legally considered "deadly weapons".....but yet Paulie "don't sweat" them.
