ROCKY BALBOA

THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action packed battle of the ages!

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Mr. T and Dolph Lundgren were both asked to reprise their roles from earlier Rocky films, however they both refused to appear and as a result they are only seen in archive footage and flashbacks.
• Sylvester Stallone had said in interviews one of the reasons he wrote this movie was because he felt Rocky V was a weak movie and he didn't want his franchise to go out on a low note. This may be why there are flashbacks of every other Rocky movie except V.
• The computer simulation boxing match seen in this movie was most likely based on the 1968 incident in which a computer simulation analyzed every possible move that Muhammad Ali has, as well that of former boxer Rocky Marciano. The computer determined that Rocky would have beat out Ali in the third round.
• Sylvester Stallone's son, Sage Stallone who played Rocky Balboa Jr. in Rocky V, was asked to come back for this movie, however he had to turn down the role due to scheduling conflicts.
