Can't wait! I hope Going the Distance is playing during all these great training scenes!

Craig-

Do you know why all of the training footage shows Rocky in heavy clothing? Initially, when he was doing the pull ups, I assumed it was because of cold weather and to accentuate that the character had been out of shape.

But, why is he wearing the heavy sweats in the gym too?

WOOOAAHHH!!!! I think lately Sly had been training with heavy weights,he wasn't doing this kind of heavy squat in the 80`s (and he is now a BIT older,he,he...AWESOME!!).The guy behind him is Gunnar Peterson,the owner of the vip gym in wich Sly had been training in the last years.Impresive scene...CAN`T WAIT...

Rockin !!

I love what they did with the lighting in these training shots. Even in the trailer ya have Duke punching his palm delivering his soon to be famous " hurtin bombs" line and the dust and powder just floating in that interesting light.

This movie is going to be so great. Fans are going to go back and see this over n over in record numbers. Fans have been WAITIING and the world needs a good shot of Rocky excitement too.

Peace,

"Gay?" Why do gay people like to bring up their sexual preference? You don't see heterosexual people yelling out, "I'm straight!" I mean c'mon! What does that have to do with anything? For the love of Pete!

This site is about Rocky! Let's keep it that way....and thank God Rocky is not gay.

----------------
I believe it is so he sweats, so he would lose weight, and get more cut, also it IS comfortable to train in sweats, but again so he sweats to lose fat+water weight ..just a humble opinion

Your movies inspire the most wild things. I want to be a film director. Like your rocky character I got smarts and I can say smart things and do clever things from time to time however people in general treat me like a bum or a moron. I know that doesnt matter though it doesnt matter how Im treated. Rocky cared just about being himself and doing what he enjoyed in life what he was good about in life. From time to time he would let people get to him emotionally but for the most part he was just all heart.

I intend on just being all heart I dont want to try to impress anyuoneI just know that someday my films will impress others. I know what I am capable of and Im taking the shot. I am going for it like rocky did.

I love the movie and the fact that the actors connected on most of the punches for authenticity but there is no way a 60 yro stallone can push press 315 pounds or incline bench 365
