Rocky series documentary - on BIO and A&E

[Darklord Dave]

No one watched my Ferris Bueller Inside Story, but maybe Rocky is more to this forum's taste. It's a 2 hour documentary about the entire Rocky franchise - from the first to the last. Featuring interviews with Sly and Frank Stallone, John Avildsen, Chartoff, Winkler, Dolph, Carl Weathers and many more.

If you're a Rocky fan - you must watch!

Premiering on BIO (the Biography channel) on Dec. 27 and then running many, many times thereafter. Premiering on A&E on Jan. 8.

I'm pretty proud of it, although we could always have used more time.

The Ferris special was awesome.

That was awesome Dave! Really enjoyed it. What was your job title?

Watched this last night - very entertaining, and very well done.

And I still find it odd to not hear Lundgren speaking like Drago in real life. Hearing him speak perfectly, with a surprisingly good sense of humor, kept tripping me up.

Dolph was a great interview - very smart and personable guy who knows how to tell a story. He's writing and directing his own stuff too.

Yes, if BIO or A&E has a channel in your territory it will be on there. Don't know when though.

Holy sheet Dave! I had no idea, I will look for this tonight. Also where can I check out this Ferris Bueller doc? Also, was this before or after John Hughes passed away?

I thought the special did a really good job of showing some of the stars' personalities. People who pay attention know Stallone is a hell of a writer, and is actually quite funny, but to the outsider he's usually just "yo Adrian!" But his snippets showed a great personality, intelligence, and sense of humor, same with Dolph.

Also, Milo's Sly impression was pretty spot on.
