Low key, not bad wrap up to the series...

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2000)

Stallone brought this outta the attic and used it one more time back in '90; and to my thinking he did a pretty good job-this time with Rocky losing everything(ever see what happened to Aaron Pryor, Mike Tyson, Tim Witherspoon, Jerry Quarry-it can, does and has happened, folks...) and winding up back where he started from, streets of Phillie.
Here we see him become Tommy Morrison's manager, see Morrison win a number of fights, turn his back on Rocky, go bad, get into a filmed street fight with Stallone, lose, and see Stallone, his kid, Adrien, Paulie, etc. wind up with their respect and etc. back, if nothing else.
Talia Shire and Burt Young are okay here, nothing special. The kid is nepotism on parade (but nowheres near as bad as Sofia Coppola was in that year's Godfather III, by the way, Talia Shire's neice too...), Tommy Morrison adequate but nothing like his cousin John Wayne(of course...), Morrison being a real boxer(who has had drug problems and now Aids...)does lend some credibility to the fight scenes themselves.
Some of this-the rap and whatever, is already real dated, and not as interesting to take a looksee at as the others before it.

But Stallone didn't embarrass himself with this one, its watchable and worth a viewing.
**1/2 outta ****, let's hope he avoids #6...(who is he gonna fight, George Foreman?)
