ROCKY III - Sylvester Stallone Revisited

Here on JoBlo Videos, there's no hiding the fact that we're massive Sylvester Stallone fans. We love the guy and we figured, with the success of James Bond Revisited, why not give The Italian Stallion himself the same treatment? So welcome to our all-new show, Sylvester Stallone Revisited, where we re-examine all of Sly's movies, including all the hits, misses, and more!
Rather than go chronologically, we're approaching his career a little differently to keep things fresh. So, we're starting with the great ROCKY III, which pitted Rocky against Mr. T's iconic Clubber Lang. Carl Weather, Talia Shire, Burt Young, and the heartbreaking Burgess Meredith co-star!
Let us know what you think of this new series below and suggest which movies you'd like to see us tackle next!

I grew up on this one, had the poster on my wall as a kid and everything. Back then, I didn’t like the first one because he lost, to a kid, that matters :). The second one always felt like a rehash of the first but instead they made him win… this one had both, the soundtrack, the very 80s look and feel, freakin B.A. and the Hulkster… you couldn’t want more as a kid in the 80s :)

@hopeless More as a thought. When Rocky's down on the ground and might lose to Tommy Gunn, he sees Mickey telling him to get back up, 'cause Mickey loves ya! But it wasn't old footage, he came back to shoot the scenes.

[@jamesgarrett8833]

@Drew Rivers, yes “Rocky III” was not Burgess Meredith last outing as Mickey. Sure “Rocky III” is the last movie to feature Mickey as a person. The flashback scenes were not pre-exiting footage before hand. Burgess had to fly down to set and film those scenes and also film the scene where Mickey appears as Rocky conscience

[@LeslieMorris]

I'm a casual boxing fan, by not means as expect but I like how Rocky 1+2 presents him as a blunt force brawler who wins via knockouts rather than points. His go-to move is uppercuts to the torso. This film give him a boxer with the same style but only better. So he as to learn how to fight differently. Creed teaches him to fight like him, makes him lighter on his feet (the previous films mention his shit foot work) and more defense but attacks via quick jabs to the head. It proves at he's actually a total boxer. Fun fact about Rocky 2, I think he technically slips at the end, rather than gets knocked down meaning he shouldn't have to beat to count to get up. I think this is deliberate to the script, making it a bum call by the ref. This makes literally everything including the sport of boxing against him. For me, that little fact really adds a lot but it still works if you don't know it.

The only problem I have with this movie is that the final fight was only like 3 rounds. In the middle of the movie, Apollo mentioned that Clubber Lang never had a fight last more than 8 rounds, so I thought a better ending would have been the fight lasting longer where Rocky winds up winning in the tenth round or later.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Agreed, it feels rushed in comparison to all the other fight sequences in the series and makes Clubber look weak.

[@u.u.u9969]

This is the best one. Eye of the Tiger is so inspirational.

[@aaronleverton4221]

The first Rocky film that was truly an '80s film. I was a '70s film, II was just treading water trying to expand Rocky's character (did a pretty good job), but felt pretty similar, III was all-'80s all the way. The western world had moved and Rocky III moved with it. (Also Rocky cameo'd in Mad Magazines parody of Superman II. "Rocky, what are you doing in my sequel?" "Getting in shape for my own, Champ.")

[@lexkanyima2195]

It's just a test for Sly to have a chance to become a legend

It’s Sly’s masterwork. To flip a very good, but grounded franchise and basically make it larger than life and more action based without it being too detached was a fine line he pulled off masterfully.

Duke Washington does Not show up at the press where Adrian announces Rocky's retirement. #2 change. Rocky does not get cheated out of his fortune #3 change. Tommy Gunn does not meet or get to know Rocky and he wins the heavyweight title halfway through the film. The press react the same to his title win as they did in Stallone's version. Tommy Gunn calls out Rocky for a match and Rocky who has fallen into depression since his retirement looks at the TV and says you got it kid. Tommy's challenge brings Rocky out of his depression and he trains harder then ever before

There’s always a point where you become complacent with your progress and you stop striving for more. And it’s how creed says ; you lose the “eye of the tiger” and it’s sometimes a rough road to get that fire back but for those who keep fighting and struggling, it’s always worth all the pain.
