  1. YYYYYEEEESSSSS!!!! These are the new pics. They are STUNNING!. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH Craig and Sly. You guys are the BEST! THANK YOU! WIN ROCKY WIN!!!!:) – Aron Scott

  2. These pic just keep on getting better! I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT for this movie! Thank you Craig!:) – Aron Scott

  3. Hey Sly it’s about time you made this movie as I grew up I saw all your Rocky movies and was left with the thought of at the begining of rocky 5 you were left with brain damage and could not fight and lost everything and went back to your home town, this left me thinking for alot of years when were you going to make Rocky 6 and become champion and get everything back that you lost…

  4. ROCKY, THE MEN!!!! yo said it Sly: it aint over til its over!!!……let’s beat Mason Dixon on december 22nd!!!!

  5. I would really like to know where POE stands. As much as I am looking forward to the final Rocky, I appreciate it when Sly takes chances as he did with F.I.S.T., Oscar and Copland.

  6. I guess Sly is a Edgar Allen Poe fanatic! and has been for many many years! It is mentioned on his A@E Biography special that was packaged with the Rocky Anthology DVD set! I bought that the first day that is was released 2 years ago. The movie “Poe” sounds like a very artistic and interesting idea, I would definitely see it if Sly chooses to make it!:) – Aron Scott

  7. Great pics, that’s awesome. I think this movie will be as great as the first Rocky.
    @ Sly: I think you has surpassed yourself with this movie! Great!

  8. This is going to be a beautiful movie, just like the original! RO-CKY RO-CKY RO-CKY!!! I expect the entire theater audience to be chanting when the movie is over! Sly you are the BEST!:) – Aron Scott

  9. Can we get any more excited?!!!!

    Superb Photos and I agree that the night shot with the Rocky in his hat is spine tingling.

    Australian fans, word is the film has been bumped UP to January 4th YES!!!!

  10. Great pictures!
    I’m afraid Rocky is going to lose the fight because he doesn’t hold the wold champion belt in the last picture!

    yeah, but at least he is still living, lol, like some rumors said he dies in this film….who cares really if he wins or loses. Like Rocky 1, he didn’t win, it was a draw. It wasn’t about winning, just about going the distance. Full circle like the first one..

  12. Nick – this isn’t for the championship. It is an exhibition fight.

    Craig – thanks for all the new pics. I hope you didn’t do it because of all the whiners about the latest one being a repeat. I understood that you were putting the pics in order leading up to the fight and even if it was a repeat – it is still a great pic. Thanks for all your hard work!

    I just saw the trailer on TV and it brought tears to my eyes – again!

  13. Outstanding pictures! I’m getting to think that this film is going to be special in a number of ways, including cinematography.

    Go the distance. Field of Dreams. Chariots of Fire. Rocky Balboa.

  14. Not to be a stickler, but on an above comment someone said the first fight with Apollo ended in a draw. Apollo actually won the first fight. Because of the strange editing at the end of the movie many people left the theatre back then wondering who actully won. If you look closely you can see Apollo hopping up and down at the end when Jergans proclaimed him the winner. And you can hear him say ‘and still champion’ bla bla bla… Avildsen edited it this way because winning or losing wasn’t the real point of the first one, much the same with this one. Hope this clears up any confusion…

  15. Yes, Apollo won by a split decision (2 judges for Apollo, 1 for Rocky). The editing is weird at the end, but like the above blogger said, the outcome wasn’t important. GO ROCKY!

  16. It doesn’t matter if Rocky wins, or loses. I am just happy and thankful that he is back and in the public eye. I agree, that night shot of Sly is WICKED! one of the best pics so far! He truely is “one in a million”. Again, Sly thank you SO much for this film it means the WORLD to so many, and Craig thank you for all of your time and effort that you are putting into this, you have NO idea how much it means to Sly/ROCKY fans around the world!:) “Go For It ROCK!” – Aron Scott

  17. Not just 1, Not just 2, Not just 3 – but 4 pictures added!!!!!! Awesome. Nice job, Craig. Images look pretty good and it seems now that the movie looks more promising than ever! Go Rock!

  18. I hope the Rocky Balboa statue makes an appearance in this film! The dedication for the statue took place last month, so I wonder if Sly was able to use it during filming or not. I am so glad that it was put back where it BELONGS!, it better ALWAYS be sitting there at the top of the steps of the Art Museum, looking over the city of Philly! It better NOT EVER be removed from that spot, it actually should be declared a National Landmark! I am going to visit Philadelphia someday and see the statue in person!:) – Aron Scott

  19. “HEY YO!”, LOLOL I hope Rocky Balboa is at least NOMINATED for an Oscar next year, Sly deserves it! This movie will be AWSOME! “:) – Aron Scott

  22. This is the return of Rocky. This film marks the end of the victorious career of Rocky. These photos had been well creative. Rocky with the public, and the photo of teaser was excellent. Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!
