    New upload! A rare digest film for Rocky I-IV, produced in Japan to promote/act as a preview for Rocky V in 1990! Scanned from a 35mm print in 4K! There's BARELY any information about it, making it a special rarity never seen beyond its theatrical release. youtu.be/IQ9VLptEdd4

    The only info we could find about the existence of this film, let alone its exhibition, is that a theater in Hokkaido had a listing for it in 1990, along with Rocky V proper and other films surrounding it (some of which were, uh, let's just say "classy" titles).

    39. Rocky V I hate a lot of the characters at the core of this movie (not Rocky or his family), but I think the actual premise is solid. And this works as a sendoff to the franchise (lmao) Paulie should have died three movies ago to prevent this from happening though. The world would be better.

    I know most people hate ROCKY V, but the decision to end the film with an old-fashioned street fight between mentor and mentee was inspired. Rocky’s journey through V is sad, but the ending is worth it. #NRW #filmsky

    I’m fond of a film called “Oscar” (1991), and consider it a great Tim Curry performance. Sly Stallone fresh off “Rocky V,” Tim Curry’s next role after “It,” and Marisa Tomei’s biggest part going into “My Cousin Vinny.” That alone should mean something.

    Movie: Rocky V (Blu-ray) I don't think this is a terrible movie, but I also don't think this movie is a great one. Too many inconsistencies and none of the heart that made the previous movies legendary. This is an okay watch, but the worst movie in the franchise. #filmsky

    1993’s “Cliffhanger” was a huge turnaround for Sylvester Stallone after a stretch of brutally-reviewed movies - “Tango and Cash,” “Rocky V,” “Oscar,” and “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!” - and a growing reputation for getting directors fired and causing budgets to spiral. It's still a blast to watch.

    Rocky V was one of those movies that was on regular rotation on cable back in the early 90s because it was so cheap to get the TV rights. It was the first Rocky movie I ever saw. I always think of Richard Grant as George Washington Duke and his line, "The incredible Tommy Gunn!"

  • Derek Halliday 🇨🇦 @dthalliday.bsky.socialBluesky · Apr 26, 2025

    Interestingly, Stallone ALSO reinforces and enhances beats from both ROCKY V and ROCK BALBOA related to Rocky's estrangement from his son with the things he EXCISES from the film, which reframe Rocky's pursuit of vengeance on Ivan Drago as as abandonment of his son which leads to their falling out.
