Rocky VI?

by Erik Lane 18. October 2005 04:10

I love the first four Rocky movies.  Installment five was kind of a let down even though I did like seeing, what I thought, was the ending to the story.  I read a report today that Stallone has announced that they will be bringing back Rocky for movie number six titled “Rocky Balboa”.  Not sure what I think about it just yet.  I'll wait until it filmed and had some reviews written but my first impression is “what else is left?“

According to Stallone, filming is planned for an early 2006 start -- both in Philadelphia and Las Vegas. Yes, Rocky will go back into the ring and Stallone (who's now 59) says he is negotiating with former heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. to sign on as his ring opponent, Mason Dixon. The rest of the cast is expected to be filled with unknowns.

Hmm, not sure what I think about that either.  Might be neat if it were his son or something like that but this sounds a tad....cheesy (for lack of a better term).

I thought Balboa was done "having something to prove"?  Maybe they're going to kill him off during his final fight or something?  Apparently his family isn't around (no returning cast members anyway) so maybe he's got nothing left to lose?

Whatever the reason, I suppose we'll likely see it since we've seen all of the others now.  I just think this cow needs to be put out to pasture already.

Yeah, still interested in it but unless it gets outstanding reviews then I'm sure we'll wait until its on DVD.
