  1. Awesome, Paulie is one my favourite characters! Cant wait for Rocky Balboa!!

  2. Not the best of images i think personally but it’s cool seeing Paulie back once more

  3. Paulie and Duke both hangin’ in there ’til the very end. We love you guys and thanks.

  4. I hope Rocky dies, it would be the only noble thing to do now since he should be about 85.

  5. hey with what the last annoynymouss said i definitely agree he’s righttt… rocky should die just like apollo in rocky 2

  6. Stallone is our GOD!!! Rocky is a great man here!!! STALLONE IS GOD!!!!! LONG LIFE TO SLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Great pic! I love Paulie! The crowd in Vegas loved him, too. He got many chants of Pau-lie!
    Pau-lie! Pau-lie! He is a beloved character. Thanks for another great update and pic, Craig. This blog is the bomb since you took over!

  8. any chance of getting that Rocky Balboa, behind the scenes video, that was on the original blog on this new one?

  9. Wow I can’t wait for this movie.

    I can’t wait for Sly to shutup the critics and surprise everybody else.

    Keep ’em coming Craig! 😀

  10. Rocky Balboa will be the best movie of this year !

    Go for it SLY !

    YOU ARE THE BEST !

  11. Paulie is great. I have to confess that since I was born (1985) all my life and a way of thinking, struggling problems was inspired by the Rocky. It gave me strenght to fight even if there were no chance to be succesed. My biggest dream is to met Sly. I could do everythink to get his sign but he is a star… Paul, Poland. thunder@onet.eu

  12. you look like 120 stallone you better fight only in a retirement home

    in real life you´d never have won any of the fights, not against weathers, mr t, lundgren or that fat kid from schmocky 5

    give it up, you suck…

  13. WICKED!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE NEW ROCKY COME OUT FOR AGESSSSS AND ITS TRUE IVE ALWAYS WATCHED ROCKYS AND STILL DO THEY MAKE ME FEEL WELL GOOD ROCKY FILMS ARE JUST LEGENDS GOD KNOWES WHY PEOPLE CALL THEM PROBABLY COZ THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO IN THERE OWN SAD LITTLE LIFES ANYWAY AM SOOO GLAD HES BRINGING ANOTHER NEW ROCKY LOL I LEARNED ALOT FROM THEM ANT

  14. Nice pic.; I always liked Paulie throughout the series. He was very gracious to the fans during the Vegas filming; I’ll always remember that about Burt Young.

  15. It´s so amazing to see Paulie and Rocky together again. Me and my friend Jonny, we are maybe the greatest rocky fans in germany! Yooohh Sly, don´t you forget, in our minds, you´re still the champion.

  16. Well,

    I must say, it took a lot of guts to attempt to make another Rocky movie. Its a bold move. You have the correct premise, which is a smart move. Bringing back Paulie and actually getting Burt Young to do the role will really help sell the characters that were present back in one and five.

    From what I understand of the story from the original ideas and the trailer that is now out, things have the possiblity to be really good, as long as you focus less on the fight and more on the personal ordeals and mind sets.

    I will be at the theatre opening night, unless shooting of my own projects gets in the way. Good luck with it, you have my support.

    I only wish it were possibly to actually hear back from you.

  17. Just joining this blog, I wanted to comment on the trailer. Im a nano-second later in the trailer, it appears that Rocky is placing red flowers (Roses perhaps) downward and outdoors. I take it that his wife is deceased, and T. Shire will not have anything to do with Rocky 6. I guess she’s too busy doing ……….???

  18. Burt Young has to be one of the most underated actors in Hollywood. I will go to a movie if he is in it. From Chinatown to Convoy to Rocky to Mickey Blue Eyes, his characters always seem to play a pivitol, important and entertaining role in a way only he could deliver it.

  19. I agree with what someone said here… making RB is/was a bold move. Just consider all the opposition and ridicule. It takes courage and belief. Not to mention the enromous amount of work that went into a labor of love.

    It just highlights how underatted Sly is as an artist and human being. Can’t help but look up to someone like that…

    Peace,

  20. I have heard a rumor and was wondering if anyone knows about this. I heard that Mr. T will be in the movie as a commentator…anyone know if this is true? Thanks!!

  21. I’m just wondering. The woman from the trailer who says “fighters fight”. Is that the same actor who played Rocky’s sons girlfriend in Rocky 5?

  22. With all the bad things going on in the world… The fact that Rocky has come back erases all the bad things and makes me realize there are more good things going on in the world than bad. Welcome Back Rocky this world is in good shape once again with the Return of Rocky.

  23. RE: “I have heard a rumor and was wondering if anyone knows about this. I heard that Mr. T will be in the movie as a commentator…anyone know if this is true? Thanks!!”

    Hey, I heard this rumour too… am thinkin that’s all it is though as he isnt listed as a cast member on the IMDB. That said, neither is Mike Tyson – and I believe he also cameo’s in the movie (they’ve made a figure off him for the merchandise too!)
    – Keelan.

  24. I was hopin MR.T would make a cameo in this film… it would be awesome.. the great thing is He wrote and directed this move.. just like rocky 1,2 and 3 which were all awesome movies.. rocky III was my fav it has all of the movies wrapped up into one.. he was king of the world he got knocked down and then got back to the top.. great inspirational movie

  25. Does anyone know the name of the song in the trailer? It’s the one with the bells in it, I’ve always loved it since I was a kid but could never find it on the soundtracks and I desperately want that song. Some one help!

  26. The Rocky theme is called ‘Flying High Now’ by Bill Conti.
    You can BUY it from amazon.com

  27. Heyyyy Yo Paulieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Your sister Is here with me!!!!

    LOL!!

    Paulie is Awesome!!!! Thanks Saly for this movie

    Paulieee !!! :D!!

  28. Not gonna fly now, It’s the one P.Diddy ripped the beat off of when he made the song victory. I have no idea what the original is called.

  29. does anyone know who sings the new ‘Take it back’ riff on the teaser or the original?

  30. The song in the trailer that begins with the bells where Rocky is talking to Paulie about the “stuff in the basement” is titled, “The Final Bell” by Bill Conti. It is on the original soundtrack. The song “Take You Back” is also from the original and is sung by Valentine.
