Walter said:They should just make a Rocky animated series and call it quits.
update: "Rocky Balboa," will be co-produced and co-financed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios and will be distributed by Columbia Pictures. It took 3 major companies together to finance the movie... Good luck at the box office Stallone
Walter said:update update: " 'Rocky Balboa' is about everybody who feels they want to participate in the race of life, rather than be a bystander," Stallone said in a statement. "You're never too old to climb a mountain, if that's your desire."
HawaiianStallion said:The real story goes a little something like this:
Apollo Creed is resurrected ala Frankenstein with the parts of other fighters that Rocky has already beaten from Dragov to Mr. T.
I like your thinking! Have Rocky train Little Mack to beat an out-of-retirement Lennox Lewis and you have a story!HawaiianStallion said:The real story goes a little something like this:

I'd say it's to not let newcomers know how redundant the franchise hasgotten.Walter said:It's interesting that Stallone titled this: 'Rocky Balboa' , not the obvious 'Rocky VI', is he trying to escape the expected clichés of the series by presenting it in a new style? Or is it just a marketing strategy...

Actually, I wonder if Stallone will totally cheese up and kill him off in the ring. =)

Anyway though, I made my girlfriend sit down with me and watch Rocky I through V when we first met(she's an athlete too), she probably thought I was crazy. So I'm just pretty excited about a sixth movie, as long as it doesn't completely suck. . .

He was supposed to die in the 5th one, but sponsors made changes in the middle of the film. According to Stallone, the company wanted to have more sequels which makes this a bitter irony seeing that Stallone himself is having some "issues" in making this sequel. Pure propaganda bullshit perhaps?."Griffith No More!" said:Like the underdog he is, Rocky will prevail! You'll see! You'll all see!
