Simon Brew, at the Den of Geek, lists 19 Underrated Sequels That Deserve a Second Chance. Here’s what he had to say about some Stallone-starring choices:

SZ Exclusive “Rocky III” Photos
SZoner, Mike “Adnuk” Kunda sent in these photos and this story that goes along with it:Craig, as I go through my many Stallone photos, I thought the Zoners would like these. Funny story to it. In 1986, my friend Joe had a first cousin named sharon. She was on a school trip in 1981 to the steps in Philly. They just happened to be filming Rocky 3 on this particular day and she took these pictures. She showed them to me back then. And here is the fummy part…11 years later I married her sister, Sue. Anyways I love the picture with Sly and the 2 tony’s!Merry Christmas Zoners!!!
