Tolerance Project extra The final Countdown The Rocky films Ranked Round 2 The Rocky Sequels

Introduction

Welcome to the 2nd Chapter of our blog that looks at the Rocky Franchise Chapter one looked at the making of the original film Chapter 2 covers the sequels and Chapter 3 will cover my Childhood memories of the franchise and the the links to the Tolerance film.

Where do the other Rocky Films Rank?

As mentioned in the first part of the blog a recent article titled Sylvester Stallone's 18 Best Movies, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes featured 4 of the 6 Rocky films in their chart this is what they had to say about Rocky II III and Rocky Balboa for the record Rocky Balboa made number 7 even their chart with Rocky II and III making numbers 11 and 16 in their chart I have put them in release order to avoid confusion

Rocky 2

Rocky II is the second film in the Rocky franchise and the first to be directed by Stallone himself. The movie proves that Stallone is just as capable on-camera as he is behind it, as it is taut and satisfying from start-to-finish. The movie is, in the eyes of many, one of the rare sequels that live up to the original, and does a great job at furthering the story of the working-class boxing hero. The lovable underdog once again squares off with Apollo Creed, and his romance with Adrian is given new layers of depth.

Stallone the Director Rocky II

Sylvester Stallone took up directing duties for Rocky II and showcased that Rocky Balboa had what it took to lead an ongoing franchise. With an engaging script by Stallone, Rocky II told the story of a newly famous Rocky preparing for a rematch against his greatest adversary Apollo Creed. While Rocky II did not pack the same emotional punch as its predecessor it felt like a worthy addition to the series and cemented Stallone as a capable director after the failure of his debut Paradise Alley. As a result, Rocky II stood as one of the best in the series.

Rocky III

Rocky III is the beloved threequel to Stallone’s smash hit that put him on the map. As with the previous entry, Rocky II, Stallone returns to star and direct this sequel, and does a great job at both. The movie is about Rocky whiling away his time as the rich and famous world heavyweight champion boxer, and ultimately losing his title due to his arrogant overconfidence. Boasting new twists to the Rocky formula and lots of stylish directing, Rocky III may not be the ultimate entry in the series, but it is a massive crowd-pleaser with near-endless re-watch value.

Stallone the Director Rocky III

By the time Rocky III was released in 1982, Stallone and the character of Rocky Balboa had become pop culture icons. However, Rocky III, which Stallone wrote and directed, was one of the weakest entries in the entire franchise and felt like a disappointment following the previous two movies. While Rocky III did provide the world with one of the best theme songs ever with “Eye of the Tiger”, the story of Rocky facing off against Mr. T’s Clubber Lang felt like an unnecessary addition to the franchise, and he was one of the series' most forgettable adversaries.

Rocky 4

Though not mentioned in the Rottern Tomatoes article over on another website going by the name of Joe Rated Rocky 4 the best film of the entire series here are their comments 

Over the years, before Creed came along, there were six Rocky movies released. Four of them were absolute classics so this was always going to be tight.

Rocky IV - otherwise known as the movie that ended the Cold War - either has fans, or folks that don't know what they are on about.

While the original Rocky may have won three Oscars, the follow-up featured that famous training montage and Rocky III the most charismatic 'bad guy', Rocky IV was a bubbling melting pot of what made all those other three work so well.

Sure, we lost a beloved Rocky hero along the way and there was a weird, romantic robot plot-line - Sylvester Stallone got rid of that in the re-master - but Rocky IV has some stone-cold classic scenes, and a banger soundtrack.

Stallone The Director Rocky 4

Rocky IV was one of the best successful movies of 1985 and featured Rocky Balboa facing off against his Russian adversary Ivan Drago, portrayed by Dolph Lundgren. Rocky IV featured a much more engaging villain than Rocky III and showcased Stallone’s talent for making this type of blockbuster boxing movie. Rocky IV had some of the best training montages of the entire series and a 2021 director’s cut addition titled Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago received even better reviews than the original.

How does Silvester Stalone Rocky himself rate the Rocky films himself ?

This question was answered in an article by writer Scot Cambell for Farout magazine titled When Silvestor Stalone ranked every Rocky movie. 

The relationship between Sylvester Stallone and the Rocky franchise has sadly soured after the creator of the iconic boxing series found himself at loggerheads with the people who now own the rights. MGM have happily handed the keys to the kingdom over to Michael B. Jordan, as Creed III marked the first time the ‘Italian Stallion’ was absent from one of the saga’s movies.

Having headlined the first six instalments and then lent support in the following two, it’s understandable that Stallone would be so dismayed at the property he created being continued and expanded without his involvement. It’s not as if the pugilistic sports dramas have been immune from their own fair share of ups and downs along the way.

Plenty of stars and filmmakers have said choosing a favourite role, character, or film is akin to naming which of their children they prefer. However, Sly had no such qualms when he awarded the first five Rocky stories numerical value while appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show.

As you’d expect, 1976’s Rocky – the launchpad for Stallone’s entire mainstream career – was rewarded with a perfect 10/10 score. As a certifiable cinematic classic and the film that changed everything for its writer and leading man personally and professionally, it’s impossible to argue with his assessment.

Rocky II scores significantly lower at 7.5/10, even though it was the sequel that saw Rocky finally achieve his dream of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. Rocky III shoots right back up to a 9/10, even if opinions may vary as to whether or not Mr. T’s Clubber Lang and Hulk Hogan’s Thunderlips are enough to propel it above the boxer’s second big screen outing.

Rocky IV drops back down to a 7.5/10, which makes sense considering that not only did Stallone revisit the Cold War-era festival of cheese as recently as 2021 to cobble together a director’s cut, but he was almost killed by Dolph Lundgren after instructing his co-star to punch him as hard as possible. The actor ended up in intensive care for a week and a half as a result.

Anyone familiar with Stallone’s career won’t be shocked to find he bestowed Rocky V with a big fat zero, which he was adamant ended the franchise on the worst possible note. It stayed that way until he returned 16 years later for Rocky Balboa, and he even cited his distaste for the fifth chapter as “one of the reasons I wanted to do the last one”.

Far out magazine recently published an article called Silvester Stallone names the worst Rocky movie needless to say he picked Rocky V the article again written by Scot Campbell Stallone outlined his reasons why he didnt like Rocky V

 What’s so bad about Rocky V ?

Rocky V marked the return of the original’s director, John G. Avildsen, in what was presumably intended to be a full-circle moment for the franchise. While Stallone himself directed the three chapters in between, the fifth entry in the boxing saga proved to be a damp squib in every sense of the word

As well as being the worst-reviewed and lowest-grossing entry in the entire Rocky series to date, it gathered seven nominations at the Golden Raspberry Awards, including ‘Worst Picture’, ‘Worst Actor’, and ‘Worst Screenplay’ for the script penned by Stallone.

The movie regularly enters the conversation anytime the topic turns to the worst sequels to have left a black mark against Hollywood’s most iconic properties.During an interview with Jonathan Ross, where he ranked every Rocky film out of five, the fifth was slapped with a big fat zero by its own creator, with Stallone admitting “it was that bad”. Going so far as to call it “a goose egg”, the actor and filmmaker admitted that his heart was never in the project from the beginning, saying that “I was definitely not there”.Ironically, given the standing it finds itself held in by the person who wrote the script and played the title role,

 Rocky V’s failure led to the resurgence of the ‘Italian Stallion’ a decade and a half later. Stallone’s refusal to let the titular pugilist’s legacy end on such a dour note prompted him to bring the character back to screens in Rocky Balboa, which he’s labelled as his personal favourite out of any movies he’s ever made in a career that dates back over half a century.Even that proved to be a double-edged sword in certain respects, with Michael B. Jordan being drafted in to headline the Creed spinoffs and getting off to a phenomenal start for Stallone when he landed an Academy Award nomination for ‘Best Supporting Actor’. 

Following that, he continued to cede the spotlight to his on-screen protégé in the sequel.However, the decision to cut him out of the picture for Creed III and continue mining the Rocky mythology for new storytelling avenues left him furious, with Stallone calling out the producers for their call to carry on without him in no uncertain terms. More than 30 years on, then, the shadow of Rocky V continues to loom large, given how it affected the subsequent four films in a variety of ways.

Even though he didn’t rank the sixth movie, the fact he called its mere existence his “toughest challenge,” an “almost impossible dream,” and his “most memorable film moment” on Instagram suggests he’d more than likely hand it 10/10, too.

Rocky Balboa

Rocky Balboa is the sixth film in the Rocky franchise, and the first movie to be directed by Stallone since 1985’s Rocky IV. Despite his long respite from the director’s chair, Stallone doesn’t miss a beat in directing the sixth Rocky film, which he decided to put together after Rocky V failed to finish off the franchise on a satisfactory note. The movie is a fantastic swan-song to the Rocky series, and one of Stallone’s finest directed movies.

Rocky Balboa was recently mentioned in a Screenrant article called 10 hidden gems in long running franchises that you might have missed this is what they said about Rocky Balboa

The Rocky series has had plenty of ups and downs and after the abysmal reception to Rocky V, it felt like it was done for good. However, when the sixth installment in the series, Rocky Balboa, was released to critical acclaim, writer, director, and star Sylvester Stallone proved he was not out for the count just yet. Taking a more sentimental approach than its predecessor, this movie featured an older Rocky battling against his legacy. While the future of the Rocky movie franchise now lies on the incredible Creed series, Rocky Balboa showcased there was still interest in the Philadelphia boxer.

Stallone The Director Rocky Balboa

Sylvester Stallone’s greatest achievement as a director was Rocky Balboa. Released 16 years after the previous entry in the series Rocky V, Rocky Balboa felt like visiting an old friend and was produced with a sense of love for the character that the previous movie had been missing. With a heartfelt script that recalled the sentimentality of the original Rocky, Rocky Balboa was a nice epilogue to the Italian Stallion’s boxing career and was a film that nobody had a stronger connection with than its director, Sylvester Stallone.

Eye of the Tiger by Survivor by Dave Bickler - 1982

Eye of the Tiger was written as the theme song for the movie "Rocky III". The song was created to capture the motivational and triumphant spirit of the film's protagonist, Rocky Balboa, as he faces new challenges and prepares for a major fight against Clubber Lang. Its energetic beat and empowering lyrics aimed to inspire determination and perseverance, reflecting the movie's themes of resilience and overcoming obstacles.
