Writer: Sylvester Stallone

Producers: Irwin Winkler; Robert Chartoff

Keywords: Sports Drama, Boxing

Rocky's friend and former rival Apollo Creed is killed by Russian boxer Ivan Drago in round 2 of an exhibition match. Drago is larger, uses steroids, and has a punch four times that of the average boxer. Despite warnings that he may lose his life as well, Rocky agrees to fight the Russian. Trashy, formulaic and preposterous, yet still entertaining. Third sequel to Rocky (1976).

REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 15-Apr-2006)

This was the best of all the Rocky movies, the movie never had a dull moment, and was very poignant for the mid 1980s with regards to our relationship with Russia in those days. The music was very appropriate when it related to specific scenes. Again a very well done Rocky movie which even surpasses the original Rocky. The training scenes in regards to Rocky and Ivan Drago were quite memorable to me because of the contrast between the state of the art training of Ivan Drago versus the old methods displayed by Rocky!
