Whether you're from US, Canada, Europe or elsewhere please support Sly and Rocky by signing the following which will be sent to Sony/MGM to ensure the film is released WORLDWIDE on December 22nd - rather than the strange spread out schedule that would lead to piracy and will make the box-office gross plummet:

Awsome picture :) looks like Spider Rico is giving him a speech before Rocky's big fight.
Spider is in a way what Rocky would have been if he hadent gotten the shot ;)
Make sure yall check my myspace page out. I have two songs in this movie and you can hear snippets of them at www.myspace.com/djon41. Holla atcha boy!
Yea that looks like spider rico
So what's the deal with the soundtrack? The "Rocky" films are widely notorized for their up-tempo, hard-hitting, sometimes deep-thinking soundtracks...yet no real word on this yet...and a new trailer...it's October already?

Looks like these blog pics are leading up to the fight! This shot in particular is very emotional. I wonder what Rock is thinking?
Yeah, That is Spider Rico.
Great photo by the way!

Cant waite to see this movie.
I have a really bad feeling about this movie, in the sense that i fear the worse for Rocky at the ned of the movie.
Rocky 1 and V where very sentimental movies and worked on the stories rather than the boxing. Rocky 1 was a film where our hero didnt win the fight but won our hearts. I also read rumors that Rocky was to be originally killed off in Rocky V. Could it be that this film, that is being billed as the final round see the death of Rocky????
We all want to see him win the fight but is that too predicatable and if he loses it ends on a bit of a downer. so could he win but end up dying in the ring and really wining our hearts forever.
Sorry to put things on a downer, just cant help thinking this.
Win Rocky Win!!!!
Gutsy move indeed and I'd be VERY suprised if they went that route. Be nice to see it as an alternate ending on the DVD if they did shoot it.
Rocky is BACK on the big screen and I'll be happy with whatever ending Sly goes with. The fact that the final film made it to the cinemas is miracle just like the 1st ROCKY.
Peace and Blessings,
Jazz

That Father Carmine?
Anyone know if the Survivor songs Reach and/or Fire Makes Steel have made it onto the soundtrack?
Ainmt that father jeramiya?
Ainmt that father jeramiya?
is there any truth to a flash back seen or dream sequence in the movie i have looked all over the net for it to no avail
hey guys!
I am from Vienna and i just wanted to complain about the release date here in Austria but then I read about the petition. I hope its going to work because i would love to see sly on the 22nd of december.
who is father jeramiya?
hey I just can´t wait for this
when this will be up in brazil?
First let me begin by saying that I can't wait to see this picture. Judging by the release date of 12/22 MGM has alot of faith in "Rocky Balboa" However I do have some concerns...
My biggest question is how will this film work within the "Rocky" chronology? The first film was supposed to be in 1976 with the second fight happening about a year later. The fights with Clubber couldn't have been more than a few years after that, and that's when Rocky's son was born. In Rocky 4 his kid looks to be around 8 and the movie is obviously set in 1984. When Rocky gets off of the plain from the fight with Drago suddenly his kid is in High School. How long was he in Russia? Now for the final chapter. It is 30 yrs from the first fight with Apolo. Is Rocky supposed to be 61? If so why does the actor portraying his son look like he's in his late teens? Doesn't somebody pay attention to continuity in this franchise?
Besides that, where along the line does Pauly turn into a loveable goof? He's an abusive alcoholic in the first two films, which by the way were the only good films from a dramatic standpoint. The next three films in the series made a mockery of Pauly's character, as well as the franchise.
Back to MGM's faith in the series. They don't have alot going for them right now besides the upcoming "Casino Royal." That may explain the primo opening date. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see "Rocky" bumped to early 2007 but I digress.
Finally speeking of faith in the franchise it appears that Talia Shire has lost hers. What has she been in lately? I'm pretty sure it was "Rocky 5." She must be looking for a paycheck. It's obvious from the synopsis that Rocky suffers an extreme tragedy. From the absence of Talia's name on the cast list one can surmise that Adrienne dies. Is that because Shire didn't agree to be in the film? I can't see Sly purposefully righting her out, after all who's name will he yell at the end of the fight?
In the end I'm still excited to see this movie. Hopefully it will answer all the questions left from the first five.
Relax and enjoy the whole thing okay ? It's for charity.
lol
ROCKY IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I 2nd that.
Maybe they wrote Talia Shire out as she would have been a too obvious reminder of Rocky's age.
rocky you are the great you are the better

Man, I can't wait. Stallone did such a good job with the previous Rockys...and he's coming back to do it again! How cool is that? Not only that, he has trained to provide a really "first-class exhibition"!
I like effort. I know he has written a good story. This is going to rock!
IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT HOLLYWOOD MADE A MOVIE WORTH WATCHING!!!

Discontinuity in the Rocky movies is a given. One just has to be at peace with that fact (or ignore it all together) and take the movie for what it is: a bit of escapism and alot of entertainment.

Where have you people been? We discussed a lot of these issues a long time ago, and if you are going to pipe in and add your 2 cents worth, at least know what you are talking about. And I am too tired to explain all these issues like where Adrian is again.
OK, OK. Quit your crying. It's just a movie.

AMEN BUTKUS!
It's do or die time for Rocky. Either rise up to victory, or roll over in defeat!!! 8-)
This new film feels so right !
Over analyzing little details can't stop the Italian Stallion and the love fans have for him. Especialy with Adrian shining down on Rocko's corner...
Rocky's back for a 6th and final time, i cant wait. I loved all the movies and the emotive soundtracks. Lets hope sly finishes the saga well - i'd hate to see it ruined. I have faith though! Go Sly - you are great, and a legend !

Ok. I can't take all these ignorant Rocky fans anymore about this chronology issue. Not that it matters in the end, but people need to be set straight.
Want to know how many years take place between Rocky-Rocky V?
11 YEARS!
...Even though 14 years had passed from the creation of the first and the debut of the last. (1976-1990)
Rocky plays a 39 or 40 year old boxer in Rocky IV. He marries at 31 in Part II and celebrates his 9th wedding Anniversary in Rocky IV, which would make him the aforementioned age. Part V takes place right after Part IV. So Rocky's 40 or 41, even though he was more like 45 in real life.
"Rocky Balboa" will take place about 15 years after the last Rocky, which is coincidentally the SAME amount of time that has passed since Rocky V was made. Balboa will play about 54. Slightly younger than what he is.
So there IS continuity in this movie. TOTALLY. (I.E, about 15 years since the Rocky V debut, and about 15 years later for "Balboa" in the story.)
The record has now been set straight.
L
you're hilarious!
Don't take it personally dude. We are all passionate here. Try a different perspective on for size...
If you're going into the theater with all these continuity details swimming around your head then you are going to miss the point.
Enjoy this because THIS IS IT ! The final ROCKY film. Sly will NOT dissapoint...
Ding ! Ding !
so, does he die in this one?
He doesn't die...
Like three or four different endings were filmed for the movie, none of which involve him dying...
And nobody knows for sure which ending they're using...
Yo Sly, don"nt ever stop doing movies screwwhat people say you've encouraged millions even billions maybe you the man & God Bless ya. You've inspired thru ya movies over & over time & again Signed Cincinnatti Kid Gavin Taylor. gvn_tylr@hotmial.com
I am really glad they went ahead and finally made this movie! Rocky is a great character. I wish there were someway they could keep it going with other actors....hey look at 007..wouldnt he be like 100 by now? I know...who could play Rocky other than Stallone..No One!! Cant wait till December!
Some of you fans may be able to explain away the inconsistant Rocky timeline to your little heart's content, but none of you can escape the glaring age difference in Rocky Jr between IV and V. I mean, c'mon! The kid goes from being like 7 to being like 13! No amount of linguistic gymnastics can explain that. Even for you diehards.
What up yall? I'm D Jon and I have two songs in this movie. You can hear snippets of the two songs Raw and Get Up (feat. Frank Stallone) on myspace.com/djon41. Make sure you leave me a message and I'll get back atcha! Holla atcha boy!
Yoo rocky don`t stop with making moviess,,,, your my insperation to train even harder, your the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
muy buena foto donde nos muestra una parte del circulo de Rocky:sus amigos.

I am double of Sylvester Stallone that am my side Stallone is the best

I don't know, not to be a loser or anything but doesn't Rocky IV start off with him coming home to Paulie's robot birthday party from his play-sparr with Apollo presumeably soon after his victory over clubber?
He spends a few weeks listening to Survivor songs and giving sleighrides in Russia then gets off the plane in PA to rap music and "the kid" is noticably older. Maybe Rocky knows something about the theory of relativity that we don't : )
Love the movies regardless!
It is the last challenge, all help it will be necessary for Rocky Balboa to close with success a victorious cycle. Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!!!!
c'moon you can kick that afro ass!!! :D

Una vez mas Rocky nos muestra su lado humano rezando y apegandose a la religion Catolica a la cual siempre pertenecio demostrando que un verdadero campeon no solo necesita de los puños y la rapidez y astucia sino que tambien de su FE y el amor a Dios Y LA FUERZA QUE BRINDA y su compasion en los momentos dificiles,siempre en sus anteriores peliculas lo ha demostrado no dejando a Dios por un lado.
