Rocky Balboa, one of the most recognizable and good-hearted characters that cinema ever met, is back for one more fight on December 20, 2006. But before you head to the theater, check out 11 film clips and 11 minutes of behind the scenes footage supplied to the IESB by MGM.
Thirty years ago he was a man with no future, working for a small time loan shark on the South Side of Philadelphia. When blind luck landed him the chance to enter the ring against reigning champ Apollo Creed, it was the million-to-one-shot of a lifetime. And all he wanted was to go the distance. His courage and perseverance, both in life and in the ring, gave hope to millions.
Now, glory has come and gone and Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), the one-time Italian Stallion, spends his evenings telling old stories to the patrons of his restaurant, Adrians, named after his late wife, whom he quietly mourns. His son (Milo Ventimiglia) doesnt want to spend time with him; hes too busy trying to live his own life. Time and knocks have humbled Rocky, deformed his fists, slouched his shoulders and taken away all he had except his old stories, but in his heart hes still the same man.
In his heart, hes still a fighter.
Mason The Line Dixon is the reigning heavyweight champion distinguished only by the ease with which he took the title. Since he has never had to prove himself, never faced a truly equal opponent, he is considered by fans to be all skill and no heart, with no real future in the sport
Until a computer simulation matches him against Rocky Balboa in his prime. Who really would win if the two were evenly matched Dixons skillful jabs and footwork versus Rockys passion and blunt force trauma? Dixons manager has an idea how to revitalize his clients career and suddenly, heavyweight boxing captures the publics imagination again.
It seems like a lark, a joke even. But to Rocky, nearly twice the age of his opponent, the prospect of a fight with Dixon is the second chance he never thought hed get a billion-to-one shot to prove to himself and to those he loves that while the body changes, the heart only grows stronger.
MGM Pictures presents writer/director/star Sylvester Stallones return to the character that launched his career and became a cultural icon around the world. The Revolution Pictures and Chartoff/Winkler Production is the final chapter in the 30-year saga that began in 1976 with Rocky, a film that, like its title character, came out of nowhere to make history breaking box office records and winning Oscars for Best Picture, Directing and Editing out of an astounding 10 nominations.
Like its predecessor, Rocky Balboa is written and stars Stallone, who also directs and produces.
