Looks like Rocky getting ready to open the rusty gates and work through blood,sweat n tears...

We are going to remember this torturous build up to opening day as one of the best parts of the Rocky Balboa experience.

Considering that this is the definitive resolution to the series, it should offer a curtain call with all of the characters from the five films.

While it's great to see Duke, we should also see his past opponents, Father Carmine, George Washington Duke, even if only briefly.

I get the sense that this won't happen, but it would be great to get their reaction to Rocky returning to the ring after such a long absence.

Didn't Duke say "Sparring is out" in the trailer? -:) BTW after 3 horrible movies, Sly is back with something that comes straight from his heart.

Tony Burton has ALWAYS been the key to belivablity and reality in the ROCKY series.

There were a few moments i had chills because of Sly speaking, directing, and in action. One vibe i'll never forget, is Tony in "Duke" mode, screaming ringside at ROCKY. I THINK that he's going to have more to do with this installment, than in the entire series. And i KNOW that if he WAS NOT in this installment, i would be 50% less interested. THANX SLY 4 BRINGING HIM BACK. If they use the takes i seen on the set, Mr. Burton is going to surprise alot of people. Just LOOK AT HIM in the AWESOME trailer. "BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA".-=christopher

Bridget said... Great picture! Love that Tony Duke. He will bring a lot of heart to this movie, and I am happy he's in it. Let's start buildin some hurtin bombs!!!!!

Craig: Well said Bridget!

Slash said... Thank God he's back! Rocky's the kinda man I strive to be. Even when he was a 'two bit leg breaker for some second rate loan shark', the man had integrity. In my book - he's the greatest character ever to come out of cinema!

Craig: Well said!

I'm not quite sure about this film. the first 3 were the best, the second one was the best of the best.

with 4 and 5, i think they stretched it.

it's pretty crazy though, did you know that in rocky V, rocky was sapposed to die in the streetfight?
sylvester did a last-minute changed to the storyline because he didnt want the cult fellowship to die.

o tell you the truth rocky balboa should stick to training other boxers.

"You've got one more round, now get up! you sunofagun, MICKEY LOVES YA!"

I like Duke's trailer phrase. Makes me want to develop some "hurtin' bombs!"

Don't know how well that will work around the office, though...look out watercoolers!

I've been watching the Rocky movies for years. I honestly don't think I would have been an all american football player and had much of my success if I had not tried to mirror my mental and physical toughness after Rocky. He's a true inspiration and role model as well!!!!!!! One more round!!
