Trivia:

This is the only movie in the Rocky series not to begin with Rocky in a boxing match.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Rocky applied for a boxing license in Rocky V (1990), he was denied, as the doctors stated he had irreversible brain damage. In this movie, according to the licensing board, Rocky passed all of his medical exams with "flying colors." They cannot both be correct at the same time. However, Sylvester Stallone has addressed this in interviews, stating that the standards of acceptable health for boxing could have changed over time - and Rocky IS completely fit by modern standards. Additionally, he never got a second opinion and yielded to Adrian's advice to quit to protect his health.

Quotes:

[first lines]
HBO Commentator:Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory; the fans let him know how they feel about it.

Movie Connections:

Spoofed in Meet the Spartans (2008)

Soundtrack:

E Lucevan le Stelle

A fitting and heartwarming conclusion

Sylvester Stallone completes his Rocky Epic with a stirring conclusion. I saw a special sneak preview in Detroit at a Kronk Boxing Gym benefit. Although the first 45 minutes kind of dragged, and at times the dialog made me cringe, its at least as worthy of Rocky II or the original Rocky. A lot of flashbacks, but it definitely wraps up the series a lot better than Rocky V did. It won't win best picture, or any great acting awards, but the cinematography was better than I've seen in a lot of the previous 5. As far as the big question in the blogs, does Rocky die in this one, you'll have to wait till Christmas and see for yourself. The music was great, the final scenes were great, and Paulie was great! It was also interesting to reintroduce the characters of Little Marie and Spider Rico from the first movie.
