You just let the sequels overshadow the original yourself. The 1st one was made in 1976 not the '80s. Just how many Rocky movies do we need? The poster in Airplane II is becoming more and more true. It must be stopped.
The is why I am ordering that no one from this forum may like it, see it, or buy it. The punishment for violation of this rule is death. If I have to shoot and kill everyone in the forum, so be it.

funny thing, warbler, is that rocky wouldn't have been a legend without the sequels. it would have been just a good movie. matter of fact, imho, the legend happened at part 4. you have to remember, the 80s were a different breed of movies.

most everyone remembers rocky as a classic. sure, it's a bit slow at times, but that was the style back in the 70s. I enjoy all the rocky movies (except part III. blech). i'm sure i will enjoy part 6. there has been a nice break of time (16 or 17 years depending on when it will be released) to where the story might finally catch up with the classic that began it all.
