Второй фильм высосан из пальца, поэтому я не ожидала много от третей и последующих частей.
Но я ПОРАЖЕНА! Фильм НЕВЕРОЯТЕН!
Здесь всё на своем месте. Фильм кардинально отличается от первой части, но в хорошем смысле этого слова.
Жизнь Рокки изменилась, но он остался всё тем же добрым и скромным малым. Характер этого боксера я думаю покорил многих людей.
Его противники в фильме демонстрируют типичное поведение отвратительных показушников.
Особенно меня тошнит от рестлинга. Это не вид спорта, а просто бред для конкретно отсталых людей.
Бокс же имеет правила, культуру, традиции, даже мораль. А всё необходимо чтобы оставаться человеком, а не животным.
Аполло был таким в первых частях. И мне, как и актеру, исполнившему его роль, очень понравилось, что в этой части его показали нормальным человеком.

And I gotta tell ya - Rocky's body here a bit slimmer, just the way I like it!

Ant the theme song is also great!


ЕПТАА! Прочитала что действия следующей части будут происходить в России, и его соперником будет переименованный в Ваньку Дольф Лунгрен.

Because Rocky's life is so different in this film from the first two films, director Sylvester Stallone wanted this film to look different from the first new so as to reflect the changes in the character's life.
Stallone felt that one of the biggest prices of fame is a loss of privacy, and the intrusion of the media into every aspect of a celebrity's life.
He felt that people get to know celebrities primarily through news and documentary footage, so he wanted the film to feel that way - as if the camera was 'secretly' filming Balboa, who had given up all rights to privacy.
This is why there is so much hand-held material in the film.

Rocky III is Carl Weathers's favorite film in the Rocky saga because he thinks Apollo Creed is humanized so well in it.

The fight sequence between Rocky and Thunderlips took 10 days to film.

Sylvester Stallone's first wife Sasha was the blonde groupie who asked for and got a kiss from Rocky during his public training session for his first fight with Clubber Lang.

Earnie Shavers was initially the favorite to land the role of Clubber Lang. According to Shavers, Sylvester Stallone called him and told him the role was his once they got a formal audition out of the way.
The audition was set up, with Shavers and Stallone sparring. As Shavers tells it, Stallone kept goading him not to hold back and to hit him with everything he had, but Shavers was reluctant to do so.
Eventually, after Stallone began to hit him, Shavers lost his temper and punched him under the ribs, doubling Stallone over.
Stallone was helped out of the ring without saying a word, and according to Shavers, he never heard from Stallone again.
Interestingly however, this story has never been corroborated by anyone involved with the film.

The montage of Rocky's celebratory appearances features a scene of him on The Muppet Show.
The footage used is actually a real episode featuring Sylvester Stallone from January 9, 1979.
For the movie, Jim Henson dubbed in Rocky's name during Kermit's introduction.
Stallone's actual appearance at the 1976 Academy Awards is also seen during the montage.

Much of the Rocky memorabilia seen in the opening montage was completely genuine memorabilia available at the time (such as Rocky T-shirts, Rocky boxing gloves and Rocky coffee mugs).
