Rocky Balboa

[athos1172]

"Rocky Balboa," or "Rocky 6" if you're scoring at home (or even if you're by yourself) is in post-production.

You can sneak a peak here.

Plot summary:

"Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has now been retired for some time, but hard-up for money, he decides to step back into the ring against a few small-time boxers. Everything changes, though, when Rocky is offered the opportunity to step in with the reigning Heavyweight Champion, Mason 'The Line' Dixon. Does Rocky still have what it takes to make another Championship comeback??"

Forgetting that Stallone is 79 years old, it's a d*** shame a fighter named Mason Dixon needs a nickname. Really.

Oh, and pre-production work has begun on "Rambo IV."

Cheers,
Athos

Holding my breath for SOAP & Nacho Libre

Glad to see Sly come up with an original storyline.

[PHJIndy]

He's gonna ride that pony till it won't ride no more.

Milk it... milk it....

There's no way it will be the worst of the Rocky franchise.

[skypigeon]

True. If he's learned anything from the past 30 years of his life, it may actually be good.

[Clefo]

Is this the one where he fights a dead horse?

No worse than the story of an actor still desperately trying to remain relevant by making a fifth sequel of the same story despite being far too old to play the part...

agreed

[Truth Detector]

Rocky V was awful.




All that aside ya gotta hand it to the man for being in extraordinary shape (for his age or otherwise).

I rememeber being in 7th grade when Rocky came out. Now he makes me look like Mickey.

Sheesh.

Is this the one where he fights a dead horse?

and the horse is the victor?

[Powercat]

I'd hate to see what Adrian looks like.

Dreading the the day that Sly decides "Driven 2" is a good idea.

"I'd hate to see what Adrian looks like."

She'll only appear in this one in archival form.
She's dead, Jim.

I believe the cause was breast cancer.

[skypigeon]

And apparently the Rock wants to join her...

"Oh and Clubber makes a cameo as one of the commentators on the fight."

<gasp!>

Yes.

Already 2 things in this movies favor:
Adrian takes the dirt nap
and
Clubber returns!

There's still time to do the right thing and

BRING BACK THUNDERLIPS!!

Let's hope that TL's return is included in one of the four endings filmed (allegedly).

That would be one Great White Dope too many.

"1. Hulk Hogan, Rocky III: "Have no fear, Thunderlips is here. In the flesh, baby." Hogan's performance here is great fun, but that's just the beginning. This role elevated Hogan's star to the point where Vince McMahon could make him the centerpiece of the 1980s wrestling boom that moved the WWF into the mainstream. Without that boom, half the other roles on this list never happen."
