Taping the "Hurtin’ Bombs"

Craig / / Uncategorized

Duke [TONY BURTON] tapes ROCKY BALBOA’s [SYLVESTER STALLONE] fists as final preparations for the big fight draw near. Rocky places it all on the line when he steps in the ring against a younger, more skilled fighter.

It’s will versus skill when the final round of the Academy Award® winning “Rocky” franchise [written and directed by SYLVESTER STALLONE] opens in theaters on Friday, December 22, 2006!

  6. Does Rocky loose at the end by points??? Are the filming alternat endings? I hope he wins, I heard he loses.

  8. I hope he wins the fight. I heard he loses the fight by points. but sly can`t do this. i think everybody want to see rocky win. sorry for my english 😀

  9. YES. TIME TO START BUILDIN SOME HURTIN BIMBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs. LETS GO FOR IT ROCKKKKK……….

  11. Interesting comment, looks more like Stallone than Rocky. What’s the difference? Is Stallone a happier, more contented, more bubblier guy than Rocky? Seems that way in interviews. But Stallone must have the fire inside to keep himself in shape and to create what looks like a really good movie here.

    I guess I like them both.

  15. Whether you’re from US, Canada, Europe or elsewhere please support Sly and Rocky by signing the following which will be sent to Sony/MGM to ensure the film is released WORLDWIDE on December 22nd – rather than the strange spread out schedule that would lead to piracy and will make the box-office gross plummet:

    We have talked to Sony and they have said that they will take the idea into account if the numbers were significant enough.

    Everyone please sign this and reply with this link so that as many people read this post and sign the petition by it remaining at the top of the boards.

  16. ok you’re startin’ to get a bit annoying with that petition. it’s really not that big of a deal if the movie opens on the same date for the entire planet. the point is that it gets released period and people go see it.

  17. That’s one perspective. Mr. petition has another.

    I admire his enthusiasm. Go for it dude !

  18. I think they filmed separate endings, but not sure how it will end….

    70 days and counting!!! I cannot wait!

    Merry Christmas to us!

  19. You’re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view.

  20. I’m knitting up special grey sweatsuits with Sly’s likeness emblazened on the back. The front says ‘Balboa’ above the left breast. I already have 20 made. 10 XL and 10 XXL. Also, I have some Vince Papale jersies left over from ‘Invincible’

  21. If you ask me, one thing has nothing to do with another. Pride is pride and faith takes over from there. Loving with enthusiasm means that humility wins over. Take it from me, there is no greater collaboration than heartfelt gratitude.

  23. What better way to end 2006, then watching one of the greatest underdogs of alll time, step in the ring one more time!!! 😎

  25. Rocky Balboa vs. Santa Claus. The “Italian Stallion” vs. “The Polar Express”!

    Actually, Clubber Lang vs. Santa Claus would be just as entertaining. Clubber probably never forgave Santa for giving him plaid pajamas for Christmas.

  27. Stallone loves Christmas. In rocky 4, it was on christmas for the fight. Lol maybe he’s religious because he makes Rocky pray before each fight. But it’s cool, I think Christmas is the most beautiful day in the year even 100000 better than summer days !!! And this Christmas, what a gift from Sly…Amen

  30. Pourquoi Rocky Balboa ne sort-il pas en également en décembre en Europe?????????????????
    S.v.p faites quelque chose!!!!!

  31. ROCKY BALBOA RULES!

    SLY RULES

    my opinion is better to loose by points at the end (like in rocky 1976)

    is more realistic and all the rocky magic will be on those frames

    GOING THE DISTANCE! 22.12.06

  33. I agree. Rocky should fight his heart out. Shake the hell outta the heavyweight champion of the world, but still lose like in Rocky I. That would be suh-weet! And talk about coming full circle, huh?

  34. If you ask me, one thing has nothing to do with another. Pride is pride and faith takes over from there. Loving with enthusiasm means that humility wins over. Take it from me, there is no greater collaboration than heartfelt gratitude.

  36. This is the last fight. All preparation and cares are necessary therefore are about Rocky Balboa. Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!

  37. Hello! I’m from Spain, my name’s Jose. I seed the five movies of Rocky. They are the best in the world. Rambo are the best in the world too. I like Rocky III. In Rocky III Mr. T vs Rocky Balboa. Is the best

  38. Nah. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Foreman win his championship on his first comaback attempts. It takes will, perserverance, and the heart of a champion.

    Rocky’s not done.

  39. I agree with the guy who said this looks more like Sly than Rocky. Strange because they are the same man but you can tell the difference in their mannerisms and facial expressions. This does look more like Sly but OK, that’s still a good thing! Absolutely can not wait until this movie comes out! What a build-up it has been so far. We all love you, Rock! Can’t wait to see you again!

  40. I was told Rocky dies…I hate that thought. I hope I heard wrong. I’ve been mad ever since I heard that. This will be the best movie of the year. I’m Ready to hear that song at the movies. Your the best Rocky!!!!! Thank you for all the great movies. YOUR #1 Fan Franco C

  41. hey guys!

    just replying to the posts where ppl are saying that the photos look more like sly than rocky…

    i understand where you guys are getting that, but, i think that these photos may have been taken during ‘rehursals,’ and not during the actual taking of the scene. also take note that the camera and lighting may also play a major part. also, he has grown up quite a bit since the last installments!

    thats my theory! hope that puts your minds a little at ease!

    🙂

    Brenda Terzian said… Yo, go for it Rocky !!! Still got that Eye of the Tiger .

    Craig: Yes, he does!

  46. Craig, I think you will do a Rambo IV blog. This Rocky Balboa blog has been really good. A lot of positive comments.

    Burma. I wonder if Rambo will find one of McArthur’s pipes?

  47. hey all !!!! i have awesome news!

    Just wanted to let you all know that a program on TV “the most inspirational movies of all time” was just shown (in australia) and Rocky was rated the 4th most insirational movie of all time! which is brilliant! i feel so proud!!!
    most would agree that the 3rd, 2nd and 1st top rated films (which were black and white films) are great, but are NOWHERE near as inspirational as Rocky…of course 😉 !

    Now theyre playing it on TV, so im off to watch it for the 1,000,001 time, regardless of the fact i have it on dvd anyway!

    !!!!!BRING ON ROCKY 6!!!!!!

  49. I for one im damn glad the old man is back….the trailer is a hit for people in their 40s. It ain’t over till it’s over

  50. i think rocky balboa could be the best of the whole lot but will my hgero mr.t be in it in some way
