Funny Cool Stuff

If you are an avid Rocky lover like myself, then you should know that Rocky is coming to town again! Anyway, just in case for the uninformed, Rocky Balboa is a struggling boxer starring Sylvester Stallone, trying to make the big time. He is a slightly dim-witted but good-hearted debt collector for a loan shark in Philadelphia with a talent for boxing. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a “nobody” to become a “somebody”. The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time.

The film appropriately named Rocky, made for a low budget of only approximately US$1 million only. However, it became an instant hit, made over US$110 million and won three Oscars. It spawned four sequels, Rocky II, III, IV, and V; a sixth installment (titled Rocky Balboa, again starring and directed by Stallone) is expected to be released on December 20, 2006.

If December 20 2006 seems like too much a time for you to wait, then why not come here for the official trailer of this very much anticipated film?
