Questions and Answers

Although this movie is the only Rocky with a PG-13, the first three Rocky movies came out before the PG-13 rating existed and Rocky IV came out right after its creation (when the ratings board didn't know what, per se, constituted a PG-13 movie.) The first four Rocky movies could easily be PG-13 today, and Rocky 5 had nothing more extreme IMO than the first four installments. I added a comment to the trivia section.

Good observation.

The plot summary/synopsis is more like a movie preview than a summary. It excludes the fact Balboa does fight again, and against Tommy who he was training.

Balboa has a street fight with Tommy Gunn in Rocky 5. That does not count as a bout. There is the possibility that they did eventually get in the ring together and fought to a draw but that is just speculation. It is noted in "Rocky Balboa" that Rocky has a mysterious draw on his record that is not noted in any of the previous films.

It also omits one of the best lines in the movie at the end when Balboa tells Tommy's new manager "Sue me for what?" after knocking him unto the hood of a car with an uppercut.

Rocky does not land an uppercut on Tommy's promoter. He misses on purpose and the promoter falls backward on the hood out of fear of being hit. So the quote "Sue me for what?" makes sense because Rocky did not hit him.

Actually, Rocky DOES hit him, and knock him backward onto the hood of the car. Rocky's line "Sue me for what?" is a joking reference to the fact that Rocky is broke, and therefore there would be no financial gain in suing him. 70.137.162.77 04:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

The reference to the Spaceballs quote doesn't refer to Rocky V specifically. The punchline "Rocky Five...Thousand" is funny because they were only up to Rocky IV at that point. If Rocky V had already been made, they would've said "Rocky Six...Thousand". So, this reference shouldn't be in the Rocky V page - if it belongs anywhere, it should belong in the Rocky IV page. 70.137.162.77 04:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the line, re-worded it, and moved it to the Rocky IV page. 70.137.162.77 04:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Burying the Belt

In Rocky IV he does put the belt on the coffin but that does not mean it was buried. They don't bury the flowers or pictures, ect on top of a coffin. They wouldn't bury a belt. I'm going to remove the reference.SChaos1701 (talk) 22:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In Rocky IV he does not give up his title to face Drago. However, the fight is not for the belt, but that doesn't mean Rocky gave it up to fight him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.206.28.75 (talk) 21:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
