Really? I loved Rocky, but thought the rest of the series mostly sucked.
II - The rematch
III - Clubber Lang, two fights and Mickey dies
IV - Ivan Drago, USA vs Russia, Rocky back to his basics and Apollo dies

Good stuff. I don't dissect the acting. I like the story lines and the boxing action.

V- I rank it above III and IV. Thought IV was cheesy, and was not a fan of Mr T in III. Liked the two storylines in V with his kid and Tommy Gunn.

Enjoyed the Caine video
I also like the part where he showed the difference when he would change which eye he was looking at

I was just watching Shawshank Redemption and there's a parole scene where Morgan freeman doesn't blink as Caine instructed
.
45 second sim in - blinks once until the end

I couldn't stomach V. Tommy Morrison's acting was so bad I actually had to take it into account. There's a reason V doesn't get replayed much, if even at all.

I liked the end of the fight in Rocky II
Thought it was a novel way to end a fight and well done

So I was reading about Rocky and came across the address of the actual Philly apartment that was used.
Apparently its in a real bad area as people warn others not to visit.
Any Philly people know why its so bad?

"DO NOT drive down to this area of town. Very unsafe in broad daylight."

"I was born and raised in Philadelphia and love the rocky movies. I finally got to see the house from part 1. I really strongly suggest to stay out of that area it’s very dangerous even in the day time."


Rocky Balboa's Apartment
1818 Tusculum Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19134 USA


Also came across the song ("Summer Madness) the plays in the background of Rocky's first return to his apartment.

Its a Cool and the Gang tune. I thought that they were just a funk band (Get Down On It) but they are pretty tight instrumentally. The live versions of the song are amazing

As in the film:

It’s Kool with a K and they are from Jersey City.
