    The only weak spot in your theory is Rambo 3.

    Fun Fact: I goddamn hate Rocky 4. Totally disagree with you here. Though I did think that robot was hilarious.

    No way you slice it did Rocky IV escalate the Cold War.
  • MrDeath · 6 months ago
    I never claimed it did, I just don't think it's a good movie. At all.

    love the article, but why didn't you choose the best rocky film to write a review about....part 3!!! it had everything, you could ask for in a movie. here's some of the reasons why.
    1. Micky dies
    2.Thunder lips...nuff said
    3.He gets a cool statue, that he know he can't live up to! He starts to question the legitimacy of his career. (is he the real deal...or the paper champion?)
    4.Mr. T!
    5.Rocky quits on the beach (THERE IS NO TOMORROW! THERE IS NO TOMORROW! )
    6.He trains in Compton!
    7.The character that was Clubber Lane, and everything he said... It was just was pure gold
    8.Survivor
    9. Creed is his trainer
    10. Rocky goes "hollywood"
    11.Rocky Loses! we've never seen Rocky lose.
    12. The race on the beach.
