Best training montage of the series. Plus, Mr. T is one bad-ass mofo.

Rocky IV has the best training montage - maybe the best montage, period, in the history of film.

The scene where Mickey croaks gets me every time.

Ah, Christmas day ... my significant other and I watch the 1st 4 in tow days. Then a week later went to see Rocky Balboa. What a great Christmas. I hadn't had a rocky marathon in almost a decade. :)

An important part of being a successful boxer is to NEVER BLOCK A PUNCH and you should ALWAYS ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE PUNCHED REPEATEDLY IN THE HEAD, until you can summon up your LAST RESERVES OF STRENGTH to launch an EIGHTY-PUNCH COMBO!

My wife said how many times can you watch these movies.

Yes, I am seriously thinking of reporting her to the Department of Homeland Security.

Zaki, whenever I'm in the mood to creep out my best friend (who is every bit the movie freakazoid that I am), I go into Stallone mode and do the whole "Rocky reacts to Mickey's death" scene.

"We got more to do!! We got -- Mick --" [some consonant-free weeping and wailing follows, capped off by "Nooooo!!" a couple of times]

That bit and "What favor?" gets him every time.

Useless skills are fun.

I like the first four Rocky's without reservation, without qualification. And, of course Rocky Balboa.

Rocky III is one of my fondest childhood memories. It's posted somewhere here on IWMAN, I believe.

I have man-love for Rocky.

Jay, even ROCKY IV? That one hurts to watch, in places.

Does "Happy Birthday Paulie" ring a bell?

I cannot tell a lie. Lapped it up. Loved it.

Does "I must break you" ring a bell?

Here's the Rocky III story that I posted a while ago in the Rocky Balboa thread:

Quote:
Time for a Rocky III story. I think it came out in summer of 1982. I was turning 13, and for my birthday my folks let me invite several friends. I invited all my guy friends, and we went to a local park and cooked out. We took our gloves and played all kinds of baseball.

Then we drove to a place called Putt Putt Golf and Games, and played arcade games non-stop, on Dad.

Then we saw Rocky III. Awesome. We came out of the theater swinging blows in the air at each other and jumping.

Not one of us gave a moment's thought to the fact that there were no girls at my birthday outing.

I think that was the last day I was truly a boy. It was like that movie Stand By Me or something.

I said in places. I have no problem with "I must break you."

Plus, it was nice to see Sly with the beard again.

"WOLFGAAAAAR!"

Had the same exact conversation this morning.

Thinking the same exact thing.

That statement was aimed not at Zaki, but at his wife.

Which, um, might not get me out of trouble with Zaki, I'm just now realizing...
