No mas, Rocky
Believe it or not, Sly Stallone is considering doing another Rocky picture:

It's too bad that Rocky has become such a joke, the first movie was an excellent movie and the second one wasn't bad.

He'll keep making them as long as they make money.

Rocky 5 didn't make money. Some movies should never have a sequel, Rockey was one of them. |

Rocky 3 was good. Rocky 2 and 4 were watchable. Ther've been much worse sequels than the Rockys (other than 5 that is). Rocky 1 was a masterpiece though ... although it has been so ripped off since then that it has lost much of its oomph.

I would only see it if it was a spoof of the original.

Skip! we don't agree! IMHO, if there had never ever been a single boxing movie ever made in the history of mankind, it would have been a good thing. The same holds true of movies featuring Sylvester Stallone. Put the two together, and ... <shudder> yecch.

Sly should have stopped with Rocky IV; however, if he'd like to take a stab at a movie about the other Rocky (along with his pal Bullwinkle) I'd be all for it since that Rocky has yet to be properly portrayed.

"Requiem for a Heavyweight" - I was trying to think of that name when I was complaining to my brother about boxing movies. I was saying that even the ones people think are "good" are at best uninteresting (at worst, yucky) to me, and I listed "Rocky," "Raging Bull," and then couldn't think of the name of the third one.
I guess there's enough good stories out there that I don't feel a need for stories about a guy overcoming his demons so that he beat the living $#!+ out of some other guy.

Hey, it worked for George Foreman (Rocky will be... what... 55???).
Seriously (or, as serious as one can be with Stallone involved), I agree with WT. There's no beating the original. I wish he'd left it at that. |

Lou Gossett Jr. showed that even old farts can still box, in "Diggstown". A great movie.

"Diggstown" isn't about boxing?

Sounds like a movie that'll go to DVD rather quickly if made. I also agree that he should've stopped after the fourth one.....
