Sylvester Stallone and John Herzfeld (Actor/Writer/Director and Sly’s long-time friend) take us behind the scenes to share Sly thoughts on the Rocky franchise with a focus on Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago.
During the Covid-19 shutdown of 2020, Stallone tackled his long-planned cut of the film: the result is ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO, a fine-tuning of the legendary film as well as a fascinating time capsule of a pop-cultural moment.
When it was released in 1985, ROCKY IV became the highest-grossing of all the “ROCKY” films. From writer, director and star Sylvester Stallone, ROCKY IV also features Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Brigitte Nielsen, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Burton, Michael Pataki, Robert Doornick, and Stu Nahan. Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff produced the original film, with James D. Brubaker and Arthur Chobanian serving as executive producers.
