  2. ha, well the dog is certainly cuter than butkus!
    does anyone know if this dog actually belongs to stallone like butkus?

  4. Ya he does. In the RB script which was in issue the first 3 issues of Sly magazine, Rocky, Marie, and Steps go to the animal shelter, when they get there, Rocky points and says, “Thats a good one.” In the magazine it says: “He points to an ugly, flat-headed mutt.”

  5. Hi Everyone…

    I know this is a Rocky Balboa Blog, and not a Contender Blog, but does anyone know WHAT TIME it’s on? I checked ESPN Tuesday night and didn’t see it.

    Anyone have information? Thanks…

  6. they should of brought back butkus! what the hell happened to butkis????????????????

  7. It’s been 30 years, I doubt Butkis is still around.

    Contender comes on at 10 o’clock eastern time zone.

  11. I heard that if Rocky Balboa is a go at the Box Office that a part 7 could be in the cards. PLEASE tell me this ISN’T true. Let’s end the franchise on a high note. This movie looks awesome. But let’s not over do it.

    Thoughts anyone?

  12. I love this blog but i just cannot believe my eyes that there wont be an official site for Rocky VI. come on! even in the trailers says Rockybalboamovie.com. I dont believe there wont be ne official site for it.

  14. For an earlier blogger, Butkus has been dead since 1981.
    Rocky loves his animals and it’s fitting that Punchy looks down and out as Rocky has been there himself and with the underdog (pardon the expression)
    What a genuinely beautiful picture.
    “WE LOVE YA ROCK!”

  16. At the end of the trailer it says Rockythemovie.com, which redirects to here.

  19. This is why I love the Rocky character so much.

    The new movie will make so many people happy…and hit em with a powerful dose of heart n hope. The way only Rocky Balboa can… 🙂

    Thank you Craig !

    Peace,

  21. Stallone is back in Rocky Balboa and the movie is lookin great!! I cant wait 4 this movie 2 cum out ill be the first 1 at the cinema. Im sure Stallone will do a crackin job at this one. Cant wait!

  23. Punchy’s so adorable…I love his collar too! Thank you Criag, this picture is awesome 🙂

  29. Butkus can do exactly that to me, lol, Punchy rules, looks real old, scruffy and worn down, Rocky looking at himself almost, except with big ears and a collar

  30. I guess I am just not getting this “Punchy” vs. “Butkus” thing. Do you people not realize that Butkus was in the Rocky movies 30 YEARS AGO! Ya think he’s still around? Let it go. Butkus was a great dog but let’s let him rest in peace and let’s move on. K? K.

  31. Another cool pic. Agree it would be good to see something else on the blog other than pictures, but what would people like to see?

  34. just been on to the Apple Movie Trailers web site and you can down load The Rocky Balboa Trailer to your Ipod Video.
    So now I can show everyone the trailer. Excellent!

  35. Finally,I waited so long for this trailer in Ipod format! Rocky comon,no pain! Marek from Czech republik

  37. I loved the trailor. Sly looks very good for a 60 year old, I hope I look that good when im that age, hell if im alive at 60 thats good enough for me!

    Can`t wait for the film to come out, I`ll be chearing on Rocky in the Cinema again.

  38. Stallone rocks-I think he is brilliant, not just an actor as some may think; but the whole package- a very underrated actor as far as people mocking his return to this final installment.
    The whole idea of doing it his way from the beginning has inspired me to follow my dreams. Success is the best revenge-but never forgetting where you came from is even better.
    I predict only greatness from here on out-now if him et Schwarzenneger would get together

  40. This is going to be the best movie of all time! I have been waiting got this moment fo such a long time and this movie is going to make some mad money and it is going to be a hit
    boxing is back baby

  41. GO ROCKY! YEAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Go Stallone – its AWESOME that this has been made! We’ll run with you!

  42. .. also thankyou. THANKYOU for writing and directing such an inspirational character, and thankyou for giving the younger generation – who only ever saw your last 5 films on video tape and DVD a chance to see it at the movies!!

  44. Amazing blog its not surprising if you talk about the 1 of the best actors in the world

    “He will proove them wrong! “

    Nice dog by the way

  45. thank god rocky is back soo sad on the last rocky it had to end but not sad no more he is back COME ON ROCKY YAAAAAAHHHHHH WIN ROCKY WIN. i love you

  46. Great pic! That dog looks like he needs a lot of love and Rocky looks like he gives it to him. Can’t wait till December!

  47. He, hes a cute looking dog. Most people would think he is ugly but he looks very friendly.

  49. PUCHY!! come on I know sly doesn’t look like he did in his prime but to put a pooch that….well I just hope the dog doesn’t resemble the movie! Still hoping for a great movie.
