On October 24, 2014, SciFighting posted the Top Ten Most Memorable Boxing Movies by Marcus Hogan. Rocky [II, III, IV and V] came in at #1. What? Rocky Balboa didn’t make it?
Here’s what they had to say…
1.) Rocky (II, III, IV, V)
Rocky was the highest-grossing film in 1976, making $225 million worldwide on a $1 million budget. The film was shot in only 28 days, but won 3 Oscars including Best Picture. It is the rags to riches story of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) who is a loan shark by day and boxer by night. Although this film is not considered non-fiction, former heavyweight boxer Charles “Chuck” Wepner claims that this and all the proceeding Rocky films where based on his life.
On July 6, 2014, Entertainment Tonight recognized Sly’s birthday and posted The 12 Craziest Character Names Created by Sylvester Stallone.

On June 20, 2014, Kevin Polowy of Yahoo! Movies posted The Greatest Movie Anthems of the 80’s. Sly had two songs that made the cut…
1. Survivor, “Eye of the Tiger” (Rocky III, 1983)
For the third Rocky film — a.k.a. “the one with Mr. T and Hulk Hogan” —Sylvester Stallone commissioned Survivor to write and record “Eye of the Tiger” after failing to get the rights to Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust.” Training rooms haven’t been the same since.
9. Robert Tepper, “No Easy Way Out” (Rocky IV, 1985)
Sly strikes again. Like Footloose, Rocky IV was another all-around formidable soundtrack, with tunes like Survivor’s “Burning Heart” and James Brown’s “Living in America.” But the song that instantly takes us back in time is Tepper’s gun-ho anthem, which set up Rock’s climactic bout with Ivan Drago.
