Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI)

Did you see Rocky V?

Tommy "Machine" Gunn



:don'tforgetthunderlips:

:shudders:

I was finally beginning to forget that movie. Remember Tommy "Machine" Gunn defeated Union Kane for the title.

Seriously, how does this movie take place?? At the beginning of the Rocky V wasn't Rocky threatened with death if he fought again. Is Adrian nagging him so bad that this now seems like a viable option??

If they want they want to make the worst Sequel ever.....make this movie. Jaws the Revenge will gladly give up the crown.

I heard Talia Shire is not going to do it. Her character(Adrienne) is dead.

If I was Sly I would do this movie. Its his last chance at 60 years old to relive his younger years. Trust me if any of us were in his shoes we would do it. I hate getting old and Im olny 30. Almost 31 YIKES!!!

I heard Talia Shire is not going to do it. Her character(Adrienne) is dead.

I think Sly said that he might work her into some flashbacks.

Milo Ventimiglia has signed on to play Sylvester Stallone's adult son in Rocky Balboa, which is being co-produced and co-financed by MGM, Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios.

In the sixth installment about the mythic Philadelphia boxer, Rocky has long since retired but is drawn back to the ring one last time. He is challenged by a powerful new champion, by personal tragedy and ultimately by himself.

Rocky's son, Rocky Balboa Jr., was first introduced into the franchise in Rocky II, when his birth was a pivotal moment in the film. The role most recently was filled by Stallone's real-life son, Sage Stallone, in Rocky V.

Stallone Left Unconscious in Fight Scene

By WENN|Monday, December 19, 2005

HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone needed urgent medical attention after being knocked unconscious while filming a scene for the belated sixth Rocky movie Rocky Balboa.

The 59-year-old star, suffered the injury when he shot film scenes in the ring just before the middleweight World Title clash between boxers Jermain Taylor and Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas earlier this month.

After suffering a vicious blow to the head the movie star fell unconscious, but the film crew failed to raise the alarm—believing he was still acting.

Stallone's mother Jackie says, "At first everyone thought Sylvester was acting when he fell to the floor, but it was serious.

"Fortunately he's recovered now."

Sounds like it might be pretty realistic.

Rocky Balboa Starts Filming in Philly

January 9, 2006

Philadelphia's CBS 3 reports that Sylvester Stallone has returned to the city to film Rocky Balboa, 30 years after Rocky first ran up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum.

The channel says filming has already wrapped in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but the bulk of the sixth installment is to be shot in Philadelphia.

Numerous trailers were parked at the Laurel Hill Cemetery in the Strawberry Mansion section of the city as the first day of filming in Philadelphia began Monday.

St. Thomas Aquinas church is another planned location for the film, which may be a familiar site for fans of the series.

"In the original film, Rocky came here and got married," said production publicist Cheryl Main.

Columbia Pictures will release Rocky Balboa on February 9, 2007.

---------------------------------------------------

I really hope this is done well. It's so personal to Sylvester Stallone that I don't think he'll mess it up. I'm glad to see them return to where it started.

It's all over the news here. Where they're filming, best place to get autographs, people running up the Art Museum steps. Nuts.

I heard it's all done filming. Now it's just a waiting game. I'm getting my tent ready.

His Depends wouldn't fit underneath the old trunks.

Great news! I read that they have moved up the opening to December 25, 2006. I can’t wait. Here’s a quote from the movie, sounds more like the first 2 to me.

Rocky Balboa: “What is it you said to the kid? The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very rough, mean place... and no matter how tough you think you are, it'll always bring you to your knees and keep you there, permanently... if you let it. You or nobody ain't never gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit... it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. If you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit.”

I'll go see it but will be prepared for a huge disappointment.

Mason "The Line" Dixon

That is just too corny to take this movie seriously, I'm sorry.

I was thinking the same. Mason Dixon? What the hell?!

 

[Bada0Bing]

Aren’t most nicknames kind of corny?

Excellent point, Monica.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Nice one. Pulled that one out of the archives.

Did anyone say this about “Clubber” Lang back in 1982?
