KarateK Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Rocky’s wife, Adrian, dies before this movie, making him a widower. He reunites with “Little Marie” from the first Rocky movie (he walked her home, ), and plays mentor to her and her son, Steps (short for Stephen). Mason “the Line” Dixon is the reigning boxing champ, but he keeps knocking people out so fast that people think he cannot go the distance with a “real” fighter. Rocky decides he needs to fight again, so he gets a license. A computer simulation shows Rocky being the victor if the two fought at their primes. Dixon’s crew, looking to add drama and attention to Dixon’s career, approach Rocky for the fight; Rocky agrees. The two fight in Las Vegas. Dixon approaches it as a joke exhibition, but Rocky is serious. Rocky is knocked down twice (8-count, then 9-count) in the first round (may have been 2nd round, they went by fast), almost losing to a TKO. Then, Rocky knocks Dixon down for an 8-count. Next round, Dixon does a low hook and hits Rocky’s hip, causing Dixon’s hand to break. In the end, they both go the distance; Dixon and Rocky each earning both the crowd’s and the sport’s respect. Rocky leaves the ring before the winner is announced; he won just by going the distance. Dixon wins the split decision (95/94, 94/95, 95/94). Despite this, the crowd still chants, “Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!” In the epilogue, Rocky is once again standing by Adrian’s gravesite (reoccurring theme of an enduring husband-wife connection). He whispers “Yo Adrian, we did it,” and walks away, fading out of existence. Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan-kez Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 It's so sad that Adrian has died, is his son not in this one? Sounds like a great movie just like the rest of them, do you know when it's coming to the uk Kirsty? Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Sound great. Rocky is the ultimate success story. I think I will have to see it.

KarateK Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 I am reserving my opinion until i see it - I am feeling the urge to go into a rant about too many sequels - like I say - will reserve judgement. Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
