Rocky (1976) | A 50% Facts Review

You don’t have to be wearing a pair of American flag boxing shorts to get that Rocky is a 4th of July flick (Even though it’s set in February and was released in December.) Why was Creed wearing those shorts anyway? (It was a Bicentennial gimmick.)
How did this film set the template for a thousand Cinderella sports movies to come, and launched one of the most successful franchises in movie history on a shoestring budget? How does a too-old, never-was fighter, mafia enforcer, kinda creepy guy on the spectrum end up fighting the heavyweight champ AND going the distance?
Our frequent media review collaborator, Dean Saddoris (@deansaddoris.ck) joined us to break down these questions.
Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board.
