I have seen it many times on VHS, laserdisc, DVD and about three months ago when I got all of the Rocky movies in a Blue Ray collection -Claude  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-21-2011 12:21 PM                     This film started a great series of "boxing films" that will probably never be equaled. It was also the last film that Butterfield Theatre Company showed at the Temple Theatre, SAGINAW MI in 1977. Butterfield leased the Temple from its construction by the Elf Khurafeh Temple in 1927 until Butterfield closed it in 1977. The Temple Theatre is operated today by the Temple Theatre Foundation. It has undergone an 8 million dollar restoration and is the home for the symphony, choral society, concert association and theatre organ club. Two of the original projectionists worked there the entire time. Harold Sager and Irwin Lutz, two of the nicest people you will ever meet.

United Artists bought the twin and split the two houses to make a crackerjack box 4plex out of a real nicely laid out twin.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-21-2011 04:27 PM                     Sylvester Stallone is launching "Rocky: The Musical". It is slated to open in Hamburg in Nov. 2012.

It's really amazing to look at the first Rocky and then look at #4 or #5 and compare the fight scenes. The first movie had a pretty believable boxing match (outside of Rocky's super-human endurance) that lasted around 25 minutes of screen time. In the later movies, the match is much shorter and gets more and more far-fetched as the series goes on. I think the fact that Rocky Spoiler Alert - Click to Toggle doesn't win in the first one is one of the reasons it's such a great movie.  |  IP: Logged
