We didn't hear no bell!! The Hollywood Video Guys are back with a brand new episode all about "The Italian Stallion" Rocky Balboa.
Beginning in 1973, and enduring in some form all the way to the present day. The Rocky franchise is the ultimate underdog anthology. Your HVG crew begins with Randy’s favorite film in the franchise Rocky (12:10). In the film, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a poor small-time club fighter and debt collector, gets an unlikely shot at the world heavyweight championship held by Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Next up is Mike’s favorite 1979’s Rocky II (44:45).  In the film, Rocky struggles to adjust to his newfound fame and family life. Called out repeatedly by a prideful Apollo Creed, Rocky eventually accepts the rematch. Last on the list is Don’s favorite 1985’s Rocky IV (1:11:55). In the film Rocky confronts Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a Soviet boxer responsible for a personal tragedy in Balboa's life. Afterwards, the guys go over some of the other films in the Rocky franchise as well as ranking the franchise from best to worst (1:39:05).
