Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Definitely not to be confused with any of Sylvester Stallone's efforts, this is a wicked satire on Rocky IV, in which Rocky takes on the monolithic Russian fighter Igor - and loses. Kaurismäki describes the film as "my revenge on Mr. Stallone, who I think is an asshole."

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The song "Rock'y VI" was first released as a (shortened) 12-inch single in 1986 (it came after the short film, labeled as "soundtrack"). While the song basically introduced the Finnish band Leningrad Cowboys, the single was released under the name Sleepy Sleepers. The English lyrics and vocals were provided by Nicky Tesco.
