Gonna Fly Now!

Craig / / Uncategorized

Rocky (SYLVESTER STALLONE) knows that strength coupled with endurance will give him a “slugger’s chance” against a younger and more skilled fighter.
– Craig Zablo

The final round of the Academy Award™-winning Rocky franchise hits theatres Friday, December 22, 2006. Written and directed by SYLVESTER STALLONE.

  8. Thanks Craig. I was bummed out that school starts tomorrow but this made my day!

    It looks fantastic!

  10. By far the most motivating pic so thus far! I love it because it’s original. We’ve never before seen Rocky running in Philly in this type of weather near the water like that. Wouldn’t it be great if Sly garners another “Best Picture of the Year” with this one?

  11. Man, what a great picture! I seems so surreal that we will all get to see one last training montage and fight from Rocky! Just amazing! Can’t wait!

  12. mr.stallone..im your old friend..
    you know me well..but i cant tell you who i am…its up to you….believe or not…
    anyway…go ahead & destroy..bye..

  13. I cant wait for the film. I hope that Stallone stays with the winning formula of the last pictures. I am sure there is a lot of pressure to come up with something fresh but I would like nothing more than to just see Rocky win one more fight.

  15. The more I see, the more i think this gonna be really special.This Rocky movies have been part of my life since i was a young boy.Probably no other film has touch me and left a mark in my personality like the Rocky saga.It’s only a nice image, but has the power to get me emotional.GO ROCKY,GO…

  16. realmente fabuloso…volver a ver al actor y personaje con los cuales creci, inspiraron e influenciaron gran parte de mi vida es indescriptible…realmente un verdadero homenaje, tal es la sensacion que nos brinda la imagen.
    SLY,sos un verdadero campeon de la vida,que nunca se rinde y que sabe como jugarsela por lo que crees.

  19. To Sgt. Mendez. Look again at the pic. This looks like the same area Rocky ran through in the first film, only the water was on his right side, meaning he was running the other way. You’ll see it early in the training montage. I could be wrong, but looks familiar. Great pic though. waiting for more.

  22. Yo Butkus! I think you may be right. Thanks for that. Although the rain/snow still adds a new effect! One we haven’t seen in a Philly training montage before. Very cool.

  26. Great pic 😀 n i luv da song gna fly now its mint, also i cant wait fr da film to cum out frm cainey (Manchester/England)

  28. Great pic as usual Craig. Hey, does anyone know the official story line for Rambo yet? I heard of two, One where he goes on a rescue mission as an advisor, with a young elite group of military personell, and he rescues them all. The other is that he has to rescue his daughter from a white supremicist group in rural America. I hope it is the first one. The second one sounds stupid. not like a Rambo movie. I am such a huge fan of Rocky and Rambo that I think One more of each would be great. But anymore than that is dumb, unrealistic, and would exploit these great franchises. think about it Sly. Please do the first story line and end both Rocky and Rambo. Don’t let hollywood ruin these two american heroes.

  30. Sorry i have to comment again

    isn’t it the Best Pic from all The Rocky Movies ????

  38. Watching the trailer the other day reminded me that great as the movies are, it is THAT Music that is so stirring and creates such excitement!! Best soundtrack ever!!

  39. At 60 years old Rocky’s making a comeback – do you think Survivor will be making a comeback? Those guys are probably pushing 60 too!

  42. Fantastic picture!
    I am so excited that Rocky comes to the Big screen again! Now I can finally see Rocky in Cinema!

    Sylvester Stallone: You are the best!

  44. Mickey: Do ya’ have to wear that stinkin’ sweat-shoyt?

    Rocky: It brings me luck.

    Mickey: It brings flys, that’s what that brings!

  45. Sly, en España esperamos ansiosos la vuelta de rocky, se le echaba en falta aunque siempre aun sin continuacion habria permanecido en los corazones de mucha gente incluido el mio. Gracias por ser tan grande, si todo el mundo fueramos un poco mas “rocky” esto iria mucho mejor, estoy convencido.

    Ojala puedas venir al estreno. Aqui en España tienes un hogar.

    Un abrazo C A M P E O N !

  46. I hope you will give some honor to jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson, who passed away at the age of 78.

    Ferguson’s greatest hit was a version of “Gonna Fly Now” in 1978. Mr. Stallone appeared on that song as well as Ferguson’s version of the theme from Rocky II.

  47. Rocky is our hero! We await the exit of film impatiently!
    Rocky est notre heros ! Nous attendons la sortie du film avec impatience !

  48. I like Sly since when I was
    little kid 1976.
    Even I like his brand ” Instone”
    Its really work for me.
    I,ll be next year ” lifechange-challenge”runner up
    See ya there, Mr Stallone

  49. Magnifica foto de Rocky, resume la perseverancia y la lucha por un sueño, soy el fan que conociste en philadelphia un dia antes de esa toma, estaba por alla por mi luna de miel, de las peliculas de Rocky aprendi, si combinas planeamiento o entrenamiento con oportunidad, puedes lograr cualquie meta, si sabes lo que te mereces sal afuera y ganate lo que te mereces, pero tienes que estar preparado para el siguiente golpe….gracias Stallone por traer a Rocky de vuelta

  50. I am A huge Rocky fan. I am so excited about this movie!! I remember going as A kid back in 1977-78 to see this movie in the theaters and seeing how excited everyone got while watching his fights on the big screen. The character ROCKY has always been kind of A hero of mine, that if you out your mind to it you can do anything. I really hope this movie does well for Sylvester Stallone!!! I know I will be rooting for him.
