    Stallone is very much underrated in terms of filmmaking. He is definitely a book judged by its cover

    He's 5'9, that's totally average height, Nielsen is 6'1, that's hardly her having to go down on her knees to make eye contact with him. Calling shenanigans on that.

    IV is definitely the best film of the series. Was never a big fan of the first one, but 4 is so cheesy it's brilliant. And the irony of it all is, Rocky was the american hero that used natural training methods while Drago was getting juiced up by all sorts of chemicals, but in real life it was Stallone who was completely juiced up and Dolph lundgren was natural. Apparently he did use roids, but after rocky 4.

    Predator is the best 80s movie ever made. END OF DISCUSSION.

    I realise there are other movies that are better....

    Predator is a great movie, but it's not really a full on 80's movie. Rocky IV is, Top Gun is, Breakfast Club is, Ferris Bueller is.

    Don t know how Drago lost, his training was amazing that single punch ball on the running track is surely how the top pros train now, jog 100 mts and punch a ball then repeat. Love Drago he's my favorite opponent from the series.

    He needed Vladdy Putins 'skills of persuasion' to get him over the line really ;):pac:

    Due a rewatch of them all, including Creed which I enjoyed a lot and Rocky Balboa which I have only seen once.

    In order of preference, I'd have them:

    Rocky III
    Rocky
    Rocky IV
    Rocky Balboa
    Rocky II
    v
    v
    v
    v
    Rocky V


    III is and always will be my favourite, it has absolutely everything, a fearsome detestable villain in Clubber Lang, the death of Mickey, the re-appearance of Apollo, the re-invention and redemption of Rocky, Adrian's speech on the beach.... Hulk Hogan playing Thunderlips.

    It also had the incredible Eye of the Tiger!

    Creed surprised me by not just being decent, but by being rather excellent. Balboa was also a solid film that no-one expected to work as well as it did. I've never seen Rocky V - have it here on DVD but just never got around to watching it, have heard fairly negative things about it. Rocky IV is actually probably my favourite, hammy and all as it is.
