does the world need another rocky movie? i think so. i think i am the only one in the world excited to see this movie. there's just something so great in the piles and piles of cheeze that rocky represents, that i just love. rocky is forever an underdog story, even when he's the champ, which is what i think makes it so great. that, and the song eye of the tiger. so what's the new movie about? who cares. all you have to know is that there will be a montage sequence, 14 rounds of rocky getting hit with hundreds of punches that no human being could possibly survive, and dramatic moments where sylvester stallone mangles the english language. that's ten bucks well spent.
the following are two clips, the first is the trailer from the next and final rocky movie, out this christmas, and the second clip is of the training montage from rocky III. the best part of this training montage, is that it is completely unedited, the way it appears in the actual movie.
i believe the training montage was perfected in rocky III, although rocky IV had a pretty sweet training montage too. I mean, c'mon, he was fighting the commies. notice the sweaty, homoerotic embrace at the end of the clip as apollo and rocky prance in the ocean, with rocky raising his fist in triumph. genius.
Carl Weathers had better be in it. If Tobais' acting coach isn't in it, I don't know if I can support the movie.
ReplyDeleteDude, I think Carl Weathers died in Rocky IV. Ivan Drago killed his ass in the exibition match.
ReplyDeleteThen his ghost should be in the new movie. The could have a very touching involving pottery.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest with you I haven't seen that many Rocky movies
Well, if you've seen one, you've sort of seen them all. Still, I want to see this one. It's been a pretty boring season for movies, so I'm looking forward to some mindless fodder. Prediction: Rocky loses his final match. It would be a perfect bookend to the series, considering he lost the first one. I think they could actually make it quite moving if done properly. If not done properly, it will be cheezy as hell, and that would be fun too.
