10. The chicken
In order to improve the lumbering slab of Italian sirloin's quickness, Mick makes Rocky chase chickens around. In an eerie mirror of the first two Rocky films, Rocky is thwarted in his first meeting with the poultry, only to win in the rematch.
6. Human emotions
When Rocky had to play confused or concerned, he was "in the zone," he was fighting "his fight." But ask him to cry or, God forbid, share a joyous man-hug whilst frolicking in the ocean, and the big guy was against the ropes. Who can forget his dying caribou wails over the body of Mick or the aforementioned P.D.A with Apollo, the closest we'll ever come to a male douche commercial.
4. Clubber Lang
One of the few fighters outside of Apollo to actually beat Rocky in the ring, Clubber also struck blows by killing Mick and publicly offering Adrian some one-on-one time with "Li'l Clubber." This inspires Rocky to pummel Lang in the rematch-but not so much because Clubber disrespected his wife, but because for a split second, Adrian considers the offer. Freeze frame the DVD. It's there.
2. Death
No matter how many times he successfully defended his title, how many opponents he took down, and no matter how many robot maids he employed, Rocky couldn't stop the Grim Reaper from cutting down those closest to him. And Death did quite a number, taking out Mick (heart attack), Apollo (broken neck), and Adrian (failed to resign Talia Shire for Rocky Balboa).
