The newest (and apparently final) trailer for Rocky 6 (AKA “Rocky Balboa”) has hit the web. It’s very similar to the other one we saw a little while back with a few additions that really change the feel of it.
Look, I’m hardly ever wrong about anything. Everything I do and say is right (bonus points to whoever can name the source for that). But every once in a while, when the cosmos is aligned a certain way, I have to eat my words. Well… this is one of those times. What am I talking about?
Well you see, from the moment I heard that they were going to be making this movie I called it one of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard. I said it would never work. I said it was a lame idea and that I would never be interested in it. Well… I was WRONG. Dead wrong. The way they seem to have approached this film has me DYING to see it. No seriously… I can’t wait to buy my ticket to see Rocky 6. Never thought I would have said that.
Now keep in mind, the movie may very well suck. We’ve yet to see it. But I never even thought they’d get me interested… and they have in spades! And HOLY CRAP!!! I don’t think Sylvester Stallone have EVER looked this physically strong in his life. That is a powerful man.
And oh man, they play a bit of “Eye of the Tiger” near the end of the trailer and I almost jumped out of my freaking seat! You can see the Rocky 6 trailer here.
This movie looks amazing. I wouldn’t miss it for anything; moreover, Sly stallone looks crazy big??!!! Hes huge…the trailer itself got me messed up….can you imagine how good the movie is going to be??
Hey John. If you, Nagy and Darren or anyone else are planning to go on December 22nd in Hamilton, let me know. I intend to be there on opening night. I shit you not. Two Rocky posters in my basement testify to my heterosexual crush on Mr. Balboa. They are only outnumbered by my Kelly Gruber posters. Get at me.
Thanks for posting this. Was truly inspiring.
The early reviews of this that have been posted online say it’s very mucha character piece, so the sarcastic comment one person posted asking if this is a character piece is actually ironic. And Stallone apparently gives one of the best performances of his career. I for one can’t wait to see this.
Ahhh crap, you were right. Now I wanna see it. Trailer looks good.
Nothing personal against you John but I had plans to laugh at this movie and the people who saw it. Now it looks like I’m gonna be there with them.
wow! that looks good.
This. Movie. Is. Going. To. Kick. Ass.
that is all
woot woot amen
I’ll step in the ring for this one. Opening night to be sure.
This is almost sad how Stallone just can’t let it go. He’s gotta keep coming back to milk this Rocky cow although the bitch has been spurting out powder for years! Nothing left, buddy! It’s over, Sly, please go home and let Vin Weasel and The Crock handle it from here.
Holy poop. This looks SO GOOD.
I actually got chills when the Eye of the Tiger riff played near the end.
Best line in the trailer “Its not over until its over”
“Was that some line from the 80’s?”
“That’s Probably the 70’s.”
I cant wait.
I don’t remember ever seeing the first films when they came out and as rentals they were OK but really not my cup of tea however, this trailer has me totally sold. And yes, the music got me totally pumped. I can’t wait for this.
“And HOLY CRAP!!! I don’t think Sylvester Stallone have EVER looked this physically strong in his life. That is a powerful man”
And we’re just gonna let this pass without comment!?
I could almost hear the lisp tumbling off your lips with that one.
Do you like movies about gladiators, John?
bwhahahaha!
I still say Rocky dies at the end of this movie.
Adrian’s dead. The son is all grown up. Rocky’s giving away all his sage advice.
Even in the trailer, the girl says “fighter’s fight”. To let Rocky know that he belongs in the ring, nowhere else.
If this comes to pass, remember that I said it here first. I will not say I told you so, but remember that I called it.
Yes, you’re right John, I am very enthused about Rocky 6, but to tell you the truth I am even more excited about the rumours about “Over the Top 2″…. Oh, come on, get a life…
the most depressing thing i’ve seen. can’t wait.
….. Oh man I’m dying to see this … I’m there on opening night..
the part that got me emotional was where the guy at the press conference said the press was labeling rocky as balboasaurus, and the way rocky looked after that comment.
Yep…”Eye of the Tiger” and Rocky up there slugging it out really got me…
I’ll be seeing this at the cinema!
All we need in this movie is Mr T givin’ the young guy some ‘attitude’ and I’ll love it.
I’m definitely a Rocky fan and have seen the films many times.
Hum….that trailer got me some goosebumps when the “Eye of the tiger” music started at the end. It looks like a decent movie. I actually felt pitty for the Rocky character because of his age. So the trailer grabbed me emotionally just a bit.
Also, the movie gives me motivation to start boxing. :o)
Is it just me or did the guy he’s fighting not look in timidating at all? Where’s Ivan Drago when you need him?
Boxing is boring?!?! Reading that made me sad. I have been lookin forward to this since the day it was announced. Cant wait.
It looked like every other Rocky movie if you ask me. Boxing is a bore. Movies about boxing are an even bigger bore.
‘Lets start building some hurtin bombs’
Superb.
:)
Had my doubts to about how good this film would be. I never doubted I’d go see it, because it’s Rocky for gods sake.
And ya know what? This looks like a Rocky movie.
I don’t think this movie will let us down at all. The first three kicked ass… I think this final chapter will do so as well.
Hey TJ
Actually, Rocky did lose in Rocky 3 against Clubber Lang (Mr. T)
I have to tell you I have been waiting for this film since the day they announced it. I never once had a doubt in my mind. Even from early on it seemed they were moving in the right direction. Will Rocky win who knows infact it might even be better to have him go 15 rounds and have a tie like at the end of the first film. Or maybe for the first time in the history of the films he will loose but everyone will cheer and applaud anyway at seeing him fight one last time. Just think about it truth is any ending would be great if he wins everyone will cheer if he ties everyone will cheer and if he loses everyone will cheer. Rocky even said it’s all about having the courage to go back in the ring even if you know your probably going to lose. This could be fantastic and I’ll be there opening day to see Rocky one last time.
I’m not going to lie; I haven’t seen a Rocky flick in its entirety in my life. I’m not a big sports, underdog flick type of guy, and I sort of threw the Rocky anthology into that pack. This throwback looks pretty interesting though. The trailer does make me want to see Rocky’s return and (final?) fight.
And what Rocky is wearing in the fifth scene of the second act. I’m dying to know.
Hey Begtodifferf
Nope, I don’t think we know squat about this film other than the fact taht Rocky fights again. That’s all we know at this point.
The outcome? Really? You know the outcome? Everyone thought Rocky would win in Rocky 1. He didn’t. Everyone thought he’d get back in the ring again by the end in Rocky 5… he didn’t.
You have a guess on how Rocky 6 ends? Ok, you’ve got a 50/50 chance of being right. Flip a coin. I really don’t think it’s so obvious.
SO you seem to know so much. Tell me everything about Rocky 6. You said the trailer gives everything away (which it doesn’t). So tell me the story, the sub plots and the themes.
But John…I have to ask. Is not seeing the trailer enough? I mean, have they not given the ENTIRE film away already? Is there even a shred of doubt in your mind how this film will end?
Wasn’t it you a few weeks back who wrote about Hollywood and their tendency to insult and pander to American audiences? What is this then, if not the most trite, obvious 3-act drama with a predictable outcome? A great character study? Doubtful.
I am a red blooded american… can’t wait for this movie. I know I’ll stand and cheer at least three times.
come on gang… I grew up on Rocky.
Hunger Force reference?
I like this trailer. Quite impressed.
