SLY to film "ROCKY 6", finally

[SA210]

Stallone signs to film "Rocky Balboa" part 6 to the Rocky franchise (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9728209/)

I don't know if it's been posted, sorry if it has,
I'm actually a very huge fan of the Rocky films. Grew up watching them with my family as a kid. Loved all of them. Was dissapointed when Rocky went broke in Rocky 5, but I eventually fell in love with it because I'm really loyal to the Rocky films.

Adrian dies of cancer, So Sly is alone and comes out of retirement and his son is a business man who doesn't have much time for Rock from what I read in the first pages of the script.

Mr. T (Clubber Lang) will reprise his role as a commentator now, Paulie's back and Antonio Tarver will play Rocko's opponent. This film is supposed to have the feel of Parts 1 and 2. I hear it's more sentimental and from the 1st 3 pages it seems really sad.

Can't wait. I've wiated a long time. :tu

Edit: Mr. T won't be in this film. Max Kellerman will be a commentator.

[John T]

Might want to warn people about the spoiler...

I'm still waiting for Rocky 7: Adrian's Revenge

I'm still waiting for Rocky 7: Adrian's Revenge


Adrian vs. Rocky

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Rocky V plus....Rocky II equals....

ROCKY VII!!! Adrian's Revenge!!!!

[Swishy McJackass]

Finally, my ass. This is probably going to be a shit-fest.

[TheWriter]

How about Rocky fight Terri Shavio!

Rocky X - Puttin' Her Down.

[Vashner]

Rocky 6 - Attack of the Botox

[CosmicCowboy]

You gotta be kidding...that guy is NOT aging gracefully...

[Spurminator]

At last, the long awaited sequel to the stellar Rocky V....

[SA210]

Wow, so none of you will see it or what?

[j-6]

You gotta be kidding...that guy is NOT aging gracefully...

If Rocky came out in '76, nearly 30 years ago, that means Stallone is in his mid-to-late 50's. I don't remember how old Rocky was supposed to be, but he had a lot of fights on his record when it was announced against Creed in Rocky I, and looked to be late 20's to early 30's.

The bicentennial celebration was an important part of Rocky I, so unless Stallone bases the movie in the nineties or something, he's reaching.

So, you mean Rocky 6 won't have any of the realism of 3, 4, and 5?

[SWC Bonfire]

Hey, yo, Adrienne, you seen my celebrex?

[Vashner]

He's at a senior center at age 85 and get's into wheelchair fights over some jello.

Then they setup a boxing ring and Adrian's like "Kill him" to rocky as he beats
down some 90 year old guy.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Spoiler alert! Apparently the plot centers around Rocky's defeated enemies (Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, and Tommy Gunn-played by Mr. T, Dolph Lundgren, and Tommy Morrison, respectively) reviving the body of Apollo Creed. Desperate to defeat Rocky, they realize that Creed not only defeated Rocky once, but also helped train him, and thus would understand how to defeat him again. So Creed, mindwashed and out of control, is sent on a collision course with Rocky, who by now is in his sixties and wheelchair bound. But with the help of a magical boombox blaring Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" Rocky is suddenly able to not only walk again, but fight. The chords of the music trigger Creed's memories and make him realize that Rocky isn't his enemy but his friend. The two then turn the tables on trio of Lang, Drago, and Gunn and in an epic battle defeat them in an unsanctioned boxing match.

Sounds like it's worth seven bucks, doesn't it?

[Extra Stout]

When I was a kid, there was this other kid on my street who had a T-shirt that read, "Rocky 94 -- Can't Hear the Bell Anymore."

...yet another case of real life imitating parody.

Classic. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Since we're bringing people back from the dead . . .

Well, considering Carl Weathers is still alive, that might be a little more difficult...

I would definitely go see Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa save the world.

[samikeyp]

Clubber as an announcer? :lmao

Oh...I pity da fool!.....pain!......dead meat!

Good more quality acting from Mr.T! :lol :lol :lol

[SA210]

Well, I'm excited about it.

[Vashner]

Mr T works for trinity broadcasting now heheh. He's a trip to watch.

[TheWriter]

[Vashner]

[SA210]

How about:

Rocky vs. Terminator

http://www.wmzq.com/images3/flabby.jpg

Oh crap, is that a real picture? Dang Arnold.. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Steroid withdrawal is an ugly thing.

[SWC Bonfire]

The dude is like 58 years old, what's he supposed to look like? I bet he could still kick all y'all's scrawny little asses.:lol

[SA210]

I just didn't expect to see Granpa Swarz in this thread.

[polandprzem]

Rocky- one of my favorites films

So I possibly will watch the VI part

[SA210]

It's amazing that it's 30 years since the 1st one. That's pretty awesome.

[Vashner]

I thought contender was bad ass show. Except bringing back the guy that got eliminated. But getting Sugar Ray on the show was tight...

[SA210]

yea, that show was cool

[Gatita]

Oh crap, is that a real picture? Dang Arnold.. :lol

You can see younger, way younger guys around town who look alot worse.

[The sone]

this is bad news...i can see it coming.

[Faccia di Angelo]

I was listening to the script read on the Opie and Anthony show, omg it sounds like a flop. I was laughing my ass off! He's 60 years old! I just don't see it. But I'm sure its gonna be a sell out and number one at the box office.

[N.Y. Johnny]

this is just going to be one big shit fest, and you know its going to be awfull with all the "Old" Jokes dropped all through the movie


anyway i think its a fuckin joke that Rocky has a Statue in Philadelphia
the city Patronizes a fuckin guy thats a fictional character....:lol

and Joe Frazier PHilly's best fighter doesn't have a statue which is even funnier because he was the real champ

[SA210]

Rocky was a feel good inspiring film, I personally would love to see another Rock film 30 years after the 1st one. I love the characters and I know alot of yall knock it, but I can't wait for the film.

Maybe it just reminds me of my childhood growing up watching all those Rocky films.
