Interesting piece of trivia: the guy who played Drago's handler also played "Count Malachi" on "Happy Days". Us oldtimers (30+) can appreciate that.

Right now the movie is actually being titled "Rocky Balboa" and not Rocky 6. It has a tentative release date in February 2006 but has been moved around a bunch of times, which is never a good sign for any film(sometimes leads to releasing straight-to-video or dropping the project all together).

How can this be true? Its almost the middle of October, and they haven't even started filming yet! That would be one of the quickest turnarounds in film history if they got this thing out the door by February.

Oops, my bad. I meant February 2007. Sorry about that.

Oh that's a pretty good one. Unfourtunately for every Batman Begins there are five Terminator 3's.

T3 was waaaaay more fun than the snoozefest that was BB.

It was unexceptional but a good fun watch. I would much rather have seen Schwarzenegger's head go into the toilet than the girl's, though. I'm sure he could have one of his best stupid taglines ever after pulling his head out of the toilet, too.

Have their been any halfway decent modern sequels to any of the classics?

The Color of Money is the only one that comes to mind.

This was an amazing turd, especially compared to the original. The disappointment everyone felt in Scorcese after that movie was so thick you could cut it with a backhoe.

I don't think he's arguing that IV is a better movie than the original, rewatchability doesn't always mean a better movie though. Of course The Seven Samurai is a better movie than Office Space, yet I feel the urge to watch Office Space much more often.

I'm sorry...I thought this was a given. For instance, "Apocalypse Now" is a great movie, but I'd much rather watch "Road House" for the 782nd time when I'm sitting around with friends drinking a few beers.

Wow, watching that one twice would be tough going for me.

I want to see him as a boxing commentator. He could be like a more respectful, less drunk Larry Merchant. They both speak at about the same speed, and like Larry, he could write out a bunch of silly metaphors on napkins to read during a fight, and then screw them up while everyone tries to just move along without comment or lets out a snicker.

Rocky Balboa trying to route complicated high-falutin' eloquence through Philadelphia street speak and pugilistic brain damage would be worth hearing on any fight. He could go on riveting old man non-sequiturs about how prunes are helping his bowel movements and such, and sometimes mistakenly think he had been in the match and won the fight, and grab the belt and hold it up in the air triumphantly.

I'd watch a fight with Rocky Balboa as borderline senile commentator any day.
