Ehh, yo, Adrian! The question is pretty simple, which is the best film from the Rocky franchise? Place your vote and explain your answer, or take one on the chin from the champ. Your choice.
DING DING!!

Best to worst:
The good ones:
Rocky II
Rocky
Rocky IV
Rocky Balboa
Lame ones:
Rocky III (too cartoony)
Rocky V
I'd listen to an argument for I, II, or IV as the best
-
IV because topical
-
III because topical
That was the one with Mr. T and the Hulkster (my favorite). Are you thinking of IV?

Four is a v. good movie, but it drops so low for me because of Apollo :bawl:
-
you don't think III is cartoony?
-
III because topical
That was the one with Mr. T and the Hulkster (my favorite). Are you thinking of IV?
YES! Fixed
-
It goes:
1. IV
2. I
3. II
4. III
5. V
Balboa is not a real rocky movie. It doesn't count. It's too terrible.
-
Aren't these all just remakes of the same movie?
-
I have not seen V or Balboa
-
Rocky IV
:frown:

-
i have not seen a single one (shame yourself)
-
I dunno, I really prefer Training Day.
-
you don't think III is cartoony?
The whole franchise is cartoony. There's no such thing as too cartoony.
-
when the russians change their allegience and start cheering for rocky is prolly the greatest sports moment in sports history
-
when the russians change their allegience and start cheering for rocky is prolly the greatest sports moment in sports history
and then Drago is like "he is a piece of Iron"
-
Apollo is the best character in the whole franchise and they kill him in IV. IV would be the worst if they had never came out with those two pieces of trash that followed it. I'm in 33's camp, they shouldn't be considered Rocky movies, but they're part of the franchise. Just like those terrible prequels are part of the Star Wars franchise.

What were you doing growing up that you never saw the Mad Max series or the Rocky series?
-

"He's cut! He's cut! The Russian is cut!"

Completely true. The best kind of cartoony.
-

how dare you

hmm, i wonder if there was child abuse? i need to watch them (in case i get smacked on a rocky question and everyone is in the bathroom)

The robot butler is a good character too
-
the old trainer guy is a good character. also the piece of trash brother in law is pretty funny.
-
Maybe I would like IV better if the Cold War had been a thing when I was growing up. By the time I watched the movies it was long past and I thought the whole premise was a joke. I tend to be turned off by things that are so heavily nationalistic, unless it's done satirically. Maybe I should start pretending that Rocky IV is satire, but then there's still the whole Apollo thing to get past.
-
metalhead, you should embrace hating russians and loving the USA...U-S-A....U-S-A....U-S-A!
-
james brown is also rocky IV and he loves the crap out of America in it
-
can't wait till clams finds this thread :D
1. Rocky II ("except for my kid bein' born, this is the greatest thing in the history of my life...yo adrian i did it!") :love:
2. Rocky (probably the best, but I love it more when he wins.)
3. Rocky IV ("if i can change, and you can change.. EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!!")
4. Rocky Balboa ("the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place..") :love:
.

5. Rocky III (mickey dies :cry: clubber lang is a dork etc.)
6. Rocky V (woof)
-
also I got in a fight with a russian limo driver in vegas one time and I asked him if he had seen rocky IV
-

The russians have never done anything to me.
-

:lol:
-
the answer is the movie i have probably quoted more times than the remaining movies combined.
"If he dies, he dies."

I was channel surfing two weekends ago on a Saturday night, and found Rocky 4 just starting. I sat and watched the entire thing. It was glorious. I wanted to start working out and go fight a russian so bad.
-

:lol:
yes, this is v. funny.
-
guys, to be honest, I own all of these movies, but I'm not sure if I've ever actually watched V. I have seen the rest of them doe.
-
Rocky I and II really aren't that cartoony. Rocky I especially. Its very slow and great. Rocky II is just, so romantic.
This is the most adorbs proposal ever:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-QNyiPtSGU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-QNyiPtSGU)
"I was wonderin' if you eh, wouldn't mind marryin' me very much"
-
I also love how Rocky had pets like Bupkis and his turtles, cuff, and link.
-
I love the US of A, my KSU CATS, my guns, and rocky III

but this is one propoal that i have no expectation of matching. it's the best. hands down.
case closed.

Rocky III's best moment. We can all relate. Sometimes we're afraid. Its ok to be afraid. Rocky was the strongest guy ever and even he got scared sometimes.

I wanted Drago to win a lot as a kid. I also blamed Rocky for Apollo dying.

One time when I was in Philadelphia I went to the "Rocky Steps" at that museum and a hobo was guarding the Rocky footprints at the top of the steps and was charging 25 cents to see them. I paid him to see them and then shortly after that the police made him stop.

lol, the whole Rocky franchise is a giant pile of dog crap. Awful movies, all of them.
-
Not gE'ing here. They really are awful movies.
-
I dunno, I really prefer Training Day.
Training Day is a great flick. Rocky and Jake would have gotten along well if they'd known each other. Rocky also would have kicked Alonzo's ass.
-
Stallone is a terrible actor, but props to him for coming up with the Rocky idea and not allowing anyone else to play the role.
-

Burgess Meredith's performance in the first Rocky keeps the movie afloat. I agree on the rest of the movies.

Been rewatching them this week. I was blown away by how gritty and raw the original Rocky was. Currently about halfway through III. I'll report back when I'm done.
