As an added bonus for SYLVESTER STALLONE / ROCKY fans, here’s Sly’s response to another question sent in by STALLONEZONErs!

Craig Zablo: Is writing an autobiography in your plans?

SYLVESTER STALLONE: [LAUGHS] No, ’cause I can’t tell the truth. I have to wait until like hundreds of people are dead and it’s gonna take forever. I don’t want to embarrass anyone. If they wait until I’m dead, is it possible to write an autobiography from the grave? Now there’s a trick.

I LUV YA SLY! “It doesn’t matter how this looks to other people…fighters fight!” peace – Aron Scott

  6. OMG! this is the best Rocky B fight picture ive seen so far
    ,and it can be used as desk top wallpapers 🙂 Thx Sly/Craig/MGM

    I can almost hear Tony shouting in the background cmon baby
    brace yourself braceyourself no pain 🙂

  7. Sly you are an inspiration to look that good, and the fact that your 60 makes it even more incredible

  9. We love ya ROCKKKKKKKKKK. Looking great Sly and we are waiting for this movie on FIREEEEEEEE 😀

  10. Sly this film will be the best of the year and you win the oscar, thanks for oportunity see you again like rocky the better heavywight of all times

  14. Yea I saw the screening in NY, the ending is good and very believable…In a good fight with alot of action and Rocky is ahead on the score cards going into the final round when in dramatic fashion mason Dixon Knocks Balboa down and nearly out. Sorta like when apollo knocked balboa down in the 14th round in rocky I. Rocky then loses a split decision. The high note? well the very last scene where Rocky Tells asdrian Yo adrian, we did it, as he visits her tombstone..

  16. I heard that Mason fights Rocky, then in the middle of the fight, Don Knotts jumps in out of the grave and calls Andy Griffith to have them break it up. Only Brittany Spears answers the phone and calls Bruce Willis to help out. Brude Willis says on the phone “Die Hardest!” and the big question is “who dies?” Rocky, Brittany Spears, Mason Dixon, or Brittany’s sister, Brocolli Spears.

    Anyway, I can’t wait to see this movie. This movie looks just great. Awesome pictures, Craig. Thank you.

  17. Based on the pictures I’ve seen, Rocky seems to have taken on Rocky Marciano’s aggressive style.

  18. southpaw, always blocking with the face lol. i want to see some of BALBOA’S HURTIN BOMBS!!!

  22. Balboa vs. Holyfield. Tell you what, neither would quit. Class in the theater, class in the ring.

  24. Hi my name is Dave. I’ve been doing alot of research on this movie, because i am so excited for it’s release. ROCKY ROCKS. I noticed people complaining about people predicting the movie and such…..but they predicted it right. Rocky loses his match against Dixon…however, he went the distance and over cam many obstacles…there have been many screenings i guess for this movie, I just signed up to go see one, that’s if they have a screening in MA….but anyways who cares if Rocky lost….he’s a true american icon. A man who inspired many, Thank You SLY.

  28. I DONT HATE THE BOND FLIMS UP TO GOLDENEYE

    AFTER THAT THEY ARE JUST MILKING IT I MEAN WOULD YOU PEOPLE GO SEE ROCKY WITHOUT STALLONE PLAYING ROCKY BALBOA?

    THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MIN.

  32. This is AWESOME! only FIVE more days until the new trailer is released! I can’t wait to see it in the theater next weekend with Casino Royale! I didn’t get to see the first ROCKY trailer in the theater when Pirates of the Caribbean came out this year:( so I am hoping that this new trailer will be even BETTER!:) peace – Aron Scott

  33. Hey y’all, only FIVE more days until the new Rocky Balboa trailer! Nov. 17th! I am really looking forward to seeing it in the theater with Casino Royale next weekend! It will be SO cool to get to see the trailer up close in a darkened theater! peace – Aron Scott

  36. There is a Rocky marathon on spike tv, its half way through the second movie now. I’m surprised there haven’t been any commericals during the marathon. Do they not know the 6th is coming out in a little over a month? They don’t even mention the new movie…what is wrong with them?

  37. Theres a Rocky marathon, its half way through the 2nd movie now. There haven’t been any commercials for the new movie yet during the marathon. Its like they don’t know the new movie is coming out. We need commericals so we know that they aren’t pulling our leg about there being a new movie…and crush our dreams.

  39. YES, YES, YES ,YES, YES!!!!!! THE SITE IS FINALLY GETTIN RID OF THESE MORONS TRYING TO SPOIL THE MOVIE FOR OTHERS.

  41. Only FIVE MORE DAYS Y’ALL! I am SO excited to see the new trailer this weekend with Casino Royale:) I am excited to see this new trailer in the theater! I did not get to see the first trailer with Pirates back in July:( But I hope I will see the new one this Friday! THIS IS AWESOME! JUST MAGICAL! And Craig, Thank You Once Again For A SPECTACULAR Pic! Just AWESOME… Words cannot even describe my excitement and anticipation for this film, IT IS UNREAL!!!!!!!:) Peace – Aron Scott

  42. unbelievable.. im watching the marathon and nor one mention of the new installment coming out next month.. its ridiculous

  43. Rocky has to win… Rocky has been
    inspiration for so many people… it has to end on a high note….

  44. What a great photo! Surely there is no way that such a great writer as Sly could resist writing his own story.

  45. What a great photo. I can’t believe that a great writer like Sly isn’t tempted to write his own story.

  47. Hi! It’s possible that you have visited my blog, the diariosubversivo.blogspot.com… Then, I am retributing it.

    Do you understand Portuguese?

    Greetings!

    P.S: I like Rocky’a movies so much! Rocky IV is the best!

  48. By the way, Craig, thanks for the editing. Some people have WAY too much time on thier hands and were taking all the joy out of it for the rest of us.

  49. Theres a new trailer? I don’t like the 007 movies but i’ll go just to see the trailer on the big screen. I went to see a movie a few weeks and no trailer for Rocky, but tons of trailers for movies that will be out next year.
