Rocky 4

This time-it is for revenge. The "Italian Stallion" Rocky Balboa takes the fight into Russia, where he faces the Russian fenom, Ivan Drago. After the death of Apollo Creed in a charity fight agains Drago, Rocky vows to take revenge for his long time friend. Even with deteriorating health, Rocky decides to fight, despite the discouragement from his wife and friends. Rocky and his team tavel to Russia, where he and Drago battle in Rocky's biggest fight ever. During the fight, the courage, passion, and determination of Rocky change the Russian cheers from "Drago, Drago" to "Rocky, Rocky."




In what should have been the last Rocky movie, Rocky 4, directed and staring Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren, features the toughest and biggest fight scenes of them all. It is evident that this movie symboliaed the tension between the US and Russia at the time. I beleive that Stallone did a good job building up the anticipation for what could be Rocky's last fight of his life. If you want a movie to build up your courage and give hope for the underdog, this movie does just that.
