Hot Toys ROCKY III

[Voorhees27]

I think 1 and 6 are the best, the stories of a guy just trying to prove to himself I am good enough and I am still good enough, not caring about winning or losing, just wanting to know inside himself that he's something, very relatable stories and all. 2 was also pretty good, then 3-5 were just about cool fighting really, 5 tried to do with story what 6 did, but it just wasn't there, it's a good stepping stone from the action back to story though.

Totally agree, I love parts 1 & 6 the most, parts 3 & 4 are great exercise videos and have great workout music, expecially part 4.

"To the end"

Absolutely, I have a Rocky only jogging mix, just about enough music to last the 30 minutes I go on the treadmill for.

Rocky - Philadelphia Morning
Rocky - Gonna Fly Now
Rocky - Going the Distance
Rocky III - Eye of the Tiger
Rocky IV - Training Montage
Rocky IV - Hearts On Fire
Rocky IV - War

Nothing more motivating to push harder running than thinking about Rocky in all his movie magic scaling that mountain. I tell ya, even the training parts of Rocky can be so powerful. When he finally gets the weights over his head at the end of his training in Rocky Balboa and he starts going to town on the meat again, I tear up, I'll admit it, I know it's coming but it gets me every time, that and when Paulie and Robert send him back out to wave to the fans one last time and he's got that genuine sad to leave look on his face. Stallone may not be an oscar performer or filmmaker, but he's damn good at what he does in my book.

I said it before and i'll say it again the man is one of they best entertainers EVER! You can make fun of his lazy lip, his scratchy voice or hell even his height but what you can't do is achieve what he's done and still be doing what he's doing at 61. Action stars come and go, good writer/directors come and go, Sly's always gonna be on top IMO!

I mean whats keeping him in the spotlight? Sympathy from past production executives? No, sheer talent, a talent that has been consistent and succesful since really the 70's. Whenever I work out its ALWAYS Rocky related, I too have a great mix from the first 4 films.

ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!

[EVILFACE]

My favorite

These are ranked by how much I enjoy them.

Rocky 3 (Hulk Hogan and Mr T in the same flick just adds points)
Rocky 4 (When this came out, it was HUGE!!)
Rocky Balboa (Really really good. The last shot with his back to the camera and arm raised, classic)
Rocky 1 (Where is started, gotta love it)
Rocky 2 (A bit too much like the first)
Rocky 5 ( I don't think it is that bad, but the others are so much better)

[uscmhicks]

I think this will be the rocky I get , looks great to me . Always been a rocky fan.

Ya, wasn't a fan of him at this point in the film, despite how nice the new HS is compared to the first Rocky, just to many other things I want and don't crave this one too much. Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky IV or Rocky Balboa I will get if they make any of them. Plus, like Rock, I'm bothered by the neck, it just looks a bit awkward on this figure more than the first Rocky.

Thats cool, tell ya what, when I get it on Wednesday I will do a side-by-side shot of both Rocky IV and III. You and 83' can judge it then. I'm not seeing the problem with the neck.

 

[MaulFan]

That's cool, sure, I'd like to see the beside one another.

Picked up the new head from an ebay seller for $30. Hopefully it'll look good on the old Rocky IV body with costume.

You may have to do some work to adapt it, I think HT was using a different style to connect the heads when the first Rocky was made.
