In the Rocky Series...

[Reckoner]

How come Balboa gets up 2-3 times after being knocked down during a fight? And how come his opponent can never get up after a single knockdown?

Don't mind me, I'm watching 1-4 now on On Demand

because he is the human punching bag.
rocky isnt about the damage he can deal as much as hes about the damage he can take.

Stallone looks hideous now, saw him during the eagles game, dude got old real fast

Yeah... but you're tellin' me that Mr. T ain't gettin' up from a single knockdown? No way!

 

[Queasy]

Because that is the way Stallone wrote the movie?

its not Mr. T it's Rocky.
if the series revolved around Mr. T, he'd be getting up for every sequel.

He's 60. 60 is kind of old. He doesn't look too bad for his age.

What do you expect? He's 60. The first Rocky movie was made 30 years ago.

I doubt you'll look anything like this when you're 60:

I really want to see the new Rocky movie as long as I don't have to waste money on it. I figure I'll wait five years until there is a Rocky marathon on TBS and it gets the 4am slot...

I heard some previews on a talk radio show this morning and it seems comically ludicrous...

Because when rocky knocks them down he's usually worn them out by being a punching bag for them.
