Rocky Balboa (2006)
 

Well the trailer is online: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/rock...8D9XeeLAZfVXcA
Man I am a big fan of the Rocky movies and have been excited for this one for a long time now. After watching the trailer I am even more excited, it seems to have the feel from the older movies "not 5" which is a good thing. Even though this probally won't do well in theaters and people will make endless rocky is too old jokes I could care less! :biggrin:

All the Rocky's are awesome and Rocky 5, I found, was a breath of fresh air. I liked the trailer, but I am not sure how it's going to turn out, it looks to be sticking to the old Rocky formula instead of trying something new.

Hey as long as it has the dramatic fight, and the training montage I AM THERE! It's gonna be amazing to see 50/60 something year old Stallone get in shape.

Sly FTW ! Adriaaaaaaaaaaannnn ! :)

promotion for the movie took a hit when Antonio Tarver (the ex-champ that plays Mason Dixon) lost last month lol.
As a boxing fan i really like how they made it all serious with the hbo ppv things and they even got the real commentators and stuff. But rocky is always kickass so i cant wait for this one.

Wow he is pretty big and in shape ESPECIALLY for his age. CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Arnie really let himself go.

Sad.

I've only see parts of Rocky V because it got boring just having him train some punk to fight. Yes, punk b/c I did turn the television on and caught those two getting into a serious fight with one another...you don't EVER think you can beat Rocky like that. However, does anyone know how he got over his brain damage illness that kept giving him the shakes?

It's sad to see that the original Adrienne isn't going to be in this film. I thought this film was going to be a complete joke and was going to suck even worse than the fifth, but after seeing the previews, I have a renewed faith in the film and totally psyched about Christmas :).

Yeah Adrienne is supposed to be dead in this film which kinda sucks but adds a lot to the story.

Adrienne is dead? Weep. I think it was Rocky IV where Rocky mentioned to Paulie that "he had to marry Adrienne because he knocked her up." Wicked sad, man. Why did they do that.

I love all of the Rocky movies with a passion. Especially Rocky IV. I found Rocky V a little less awesome than the previous 4, but what are you going to do.

Sly is really playing Rocky. Holy shit. This is going to be fucking awesome.

Just a little one while waiting.

Anyway I got the sad impression that Rocky will die in this one. The producers wanted him to die in the previous one already.

Never saw Rocky V. Did he develop punch-drunk or something like that?

Either way, this looks fantastic. Gonna kick ass to see old Stallone pull off a movie like this. Also, I like how in-shape he looks. This looks like a nice film, and I don't say that about many Stallone films. Rocky V I heard was a step down, and Rambo's went down the shitter fast. Hope this'll be as good as it looks.

yeah he got punch-drunk, brain damage and the whole shibangabang.
And that was the first thing i thought about when i heard about this. Realisticly he shouldnt even be able to walk normally.

Rocky is going to lose that last fight. It's going to be a close one, but he's going to lose. I know it.

It just makes the most sense. Hey, if he dies, at least we know it's the end of the Rocky franchise, and all great things must end.

Am I the only one who's sick of the Rocky movies? I watched a few of them the other day (I think we watched the beginning of the one where he's retarded) and thought they were hilariously bad. This trailer looks better than the original films, but I can't get over Stallone's 'acting.' It's because of this that I can't ever take these films seriously.

Probably from all the grunts and hits he takes , kurad ;p .

I'll be honest. I think I'm going to enjoy this film a little more than V. I thought this movie would focus a little more on his son but oh well. Can't get enough of good ol Sly from Cobra >=p.

I think this blonde girl might be Adrian's friend from her workplace and he pumps rocky up with confidence ;p.

I'll probably never get over the Rocky movies. I grew up watching it over and over u.u. Yeah, We'll be seeing a shitload of marathons coming november

More importantly, is "Eye of the tiger" going to be played? And it better not be some alternative-rock cover either, that would probably set me off the most.

I love that song. However, I'm just hoping that they don't let someone Ashlee Simpson or Justin Timberlake sing a cover of it. Hey, they let Britney Spears butcher "I Love Rock & Roll" and William Huang demolish "We Are The Champions", I am not about to underestimate the evil of Hollywood toward Rock. Why mess with a good thing like "Eye of the Tiger"?

Then again, I'm normally not a fan of covers.

Why the Rocky V hate? Rocky III was clearly the worst. Clubber (Mr. T) was the worst and most disinteresting opponent Rocky has fought, although I did like how Apollo trains Rocky after Mickey died.

Clubber is arguably the second best villian (Drago is the best. There is no contest. I must break you.) in the whole damn series.

I mean Mr. fucking T. Taunting Rock out of retirement. Trying to fuck Adrian. Pushing down Mickey causing him to have a heart attack and die.

I mean this is where he launched the best saying in the history of anything. "I pity the fool!".


My prediction?! PAIN!"

News Reporter: So Clubber do you accept the challenge for a rematch from balboa?

Clubber: Challenge? No I don't accept the challenge cause he ain't no challenge, but I wouldn't mind whoopin on the foo some moe.

Love that part. Or this one

News guy: Clubber what to expect the outcome to be for the fight?

Clubber: PAAAAIIIIN!

I add nothing to topics!
 

Anyone else agree that the first movie was the only good one? It had the such an amazing and emotional message to it. Which was just ruined in the second one. And it progressively got worse till Rocky V.

Now I've read in interviews Sylvester Stallone was talking about how he wanted to make this more like the first movie. And also make it a lot more realistic. So I'm kind of looking forward to it.

lol, I was convinced by Rocky III that him and Apollo were a gay couple.

No I love 1-4 and think 5 is ok but I love 1 and 2 for different reasons then I love 3 and 4.

I liked all the movies except 5. Rocky I had a powerful message and Rocky II had a great underdog feeling to it. Rocky III I rarely ever get to see it, but it shows that you have to keep fighting to keep your dreams alive and not get too cocky, and some of the guest star roles of Hulk Hogan and Mr. T were interesting. Rocky IV was my favorite because it was so dramatic and had that true feel of good guy vs. bad guy (Draco is truly the most evil bad guy of the series). Also, the message that Rocky gives at the end may seem corny to some, but it was sort of meaningful.

Rocky V, I just wasn't a fan of the parts that I saw.

I found Clubber really boring, I dunno maybe it's just me.

And with Rocky V, I felt it was alot more personal and beating Tommy Gunn meant alot more to Rocky. It also brought Rocky back to his roots and away from his "god-like" status, he wasn't beating Tommy to avenge Mickey or to change Russia, he was doing it for himself. It was a change, but I felt a welcome one.

Double Post:
LOL, I just read this on wikipedia, "Mr. T is currently training for an appearance in Rocky Balboa, the sixth installment in the Rocky series, where he reprises his role as Clubber Lang, though he will appear as a commentator only."
