Rocky IV
Directed by Sylvester Stallone
Rocky Balboa holds the world heavyweight championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago, a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimen takes him to Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face – a fight to the finish, in which he must… From TMDB

60 of 211 · most liked firstI skeeted earlier that it was a movie about if Donald Trump was the main character in Rocky IV and that I still had a great time. I thought it was too mean so I deleted it, but I guess I didn’t actually because here I am.
positive · AI labelView post →The singer Carly Rae Jepsen and the movie ‘Rocky IV’ premiered 40 years ago today 🎂
neutral · AI labelView post →40 years ago today ROCKY IV was released in theaters.
neutral · AI labelView post →The amount of soppy grins all round at the TFNation Vince DiCola show. Hearing the Transformers Movie Score (and Rocky IV!) sitting with James Roberts, Jack Lawrence and JP Bove, and surrounded by friends. Can't believe I got to experience it.
positive · AI labelView post →Three bangers from the Rocky IV movie 🥊 #80s #synth #guitar #classic80s
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like "right wing TV" is just "every cop show ever". ROCKY IV is the most right wing culture war movie ever filmed, Sly wins the Cold War through pure testosterone. Every installment of DEATH WISH is just pure suburban white rage.
negative · AI labelView post →#ArtistFave15 James Brown #MusicChallenge 6️⃣ "Living in America" (1986) With its energetic rhythm this song celebrates freedom,hard work and the sense of belonging that comes from living in a diverse and dynamic nation. It was used prominently in the film Rocky IV.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nobody ever admits to loving bad movies on Adventures in Movie-going. Just once I want a director to be asked about the first movie they loved and they say "Rocky IV was fire",
neutral · AI labelView post →Extremely fucking funny that Ben Shapiro's business is failing and so he rushes out a sequel to the one thing that did okay - the school shooter movie - but now it's about Hamas terrorists and Israel somehow. This is like if you made Rocky, then immediately made Rocky IV.
neutral · AI labelView post →The remake of Rocky IV is going to be a very, very different film than the original.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about ROCKY IV as the ultimate July 4th movie because it’s propaganda — and we know it’s propaganda — but an idea will never let you down, and that's what most Americans are clinging to as the country crumbles around us.

neutral · AI labelView post →"See Rocky IV" took me out. The over the top propaganda added to a movie series because of the cold war? With the Italian guy? Backup a few decades from that movie and remind me how we talked about Italian immigrants my guy
neutral · AI labelView post →Emily showing me letterboxd Rocky IV raves like she’s proving something to me as though I have not spent the whole of our relationship telling her it’s a perfect film.
positive · AI labelView post →I was just looking up a list of the greatest sports movies -- my favorites are 1) Rocky, 2) Rudy, 3) Rocky IV, 4) Hoosiers, 5) Slap Shot -- and I didn't realize that some people treat "sports movie" as loosely as "Christmas movie," making Big Lebowski and Uncut Gems hilarious contenders.
positive · AI labelView post →What we need right now is an anti-Russia patriotism sport movie like Miracle or Rocky IV. Where are the Mighty Ducks???
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieMadness #MovieChallenge Day 16. Your favorite shot from a movie Rocky IV (1985) The entire entrance scene of Apollo Creed in Rocky IV is the greatest ever boxing entrance. A cinematic masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →A lot of jokes get made about Rocky IV but it’s the only movie in the series with James Brown in it which makes it the best Rocky film by default.
positive · AI labelView post →Because you turn into the weird asshole who talks himself into being a Republican trying to find a "theoretical argument" where 'ROCKY IV' is "actually the objectively superior movie" to 'RAGING BULL' and ...no, it isn't. 'RAGING BULL' is better *even though* 'ROCKY IV' rules and I'd rather watch it
positive · AI labelView post →Going to just start saying that every movie, book, etc I consume means whatever I need it to in that moment. Rocky IV was about the effect of an Olympics on a city. Jaws was about cancer. The Sandlot is an alagory for being gay in 1920s Germany. Kindergarten Cop is a gonzo journalism piece.
neutral · AI labelView post →What do you think is the most 80s movie ever? 🎥 Rocky IV 🥊🇺🇸
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: It has been calculated that ‘Rocky IV’ is 31.9% montages, nearly a third of the film. During the second half of the film, or the last 50 minutes, it is approximately 50% montage. (IMDB) 🖤

positive · AI labelView post →I don’t know if it was the *worst*, but my friend and I got kicked out of the movie theatre at Valley West Mall when ROCKY IV came out because we were cheering for Drago
neutral · AI labelView post →Ivan Drago is a fictional character first seen in the 1985 film Rocky IV, in which he is the main antagonist #lufc

positive · AI labelView post →And the industry goes further back, of course. Hope, BC has statues of Brian Dennehy & Sly Stallone from First Blood, the first Rambo movie, shot in the hills there. The "Russia" sequences of Rocky IV? All BC. Outside Victoria is Xavier's Mansion, which is Royal Roads University.
neutral · AI labelView post →Only one movie “defines the eighties” and it’s Rocky IV. Any other choice is wrong.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you're feeling down today cheer yourself up with a Christmas movie! Like Rocky IV!
neutral · AI labelView post →That when an actor dies in a movie they die for real. Watching Carl Weathers die in Rocky IV and then seeing him alive in Action Jackson later on blew my fucking mind lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →To be clear: Rocky IV "the movie" did not end the Cold War. Rocky Balboa, the (obviously real) character ended the Cold War. Just him. No one else.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is a Christmas movie. However, it’s customary to wait and watch it on Boxing Day.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best part about Rocky IV is that it is a lean 90 minutes long. That movie doesn’t fuck around.
positive · AI labelView post →“Rocky IV is a great movie” is gonna make me vote GOP
negative · AI labelView post →Wow. I really enjoyed that. It reminded me of a Rocky movie, but set on a racetrack. There's even a training scene that reminded me of the one in Rocky IV. More later. #filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →SAME. The movie RED DAWN scared the crap out of me, and ROCKY IV definitely sent a very strong message about the Soviets.
neutral · AI labelView post →19. Favorite Boxing Film Noir A Rocky-lite noir whose cover invokes the main event of Rocky IV, has Tony Curtis in short-shorts, and Ernest Borgnine as his boozed-up trainer/manager? That's a TKO in my book. #NoirvemberChallenge #Noirvember #FilmNoir #NowWatching 🎥 The Square Jungle (1955)
neutral · AI labelView post →Regarding the "most eighties" movie prompt going around, the answer is "Rocky IV." I'm not even a fan of the flick, but it's "Rocky IV."
negative · AI labelView post →All this arguing about if Die Hard and Gremlins are Christmas movies. Meanwhile yall still sleeping. Rocky IV is a god dam #Christmas movie. #StayWoke
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is a movie I can really relate to as a guy in a loving relationship with a transgender domestic robot
neutral · AI labelView post →Things that are not pro wrestling but are pro wrestling: Rocky IV. The whole movie, but especially Apollo's entrance for the fight with Drago.
neutral · AI labelView post →#JuneMovieChallenge #FilmSky 🎥 A movie with a flag in it. Rocky IV (1985)
neutral · AI labelView post →It is. Rocky IV is also a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →arrived at the theatre early (as is my habit) but my sister is running late (as is hers) so I’m watching the big fluffy Christmas card snow falling past the window while I wait tonight’s film: Rocky IV (director’s cut)
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: 'The Expendables' was the first Sylvester Stallone film that he starred in since 'Rocky IV' in 1985 to gross more than $100 million in North America. (IMDB) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →What's the best film soundtrack ever and why is it Rocky IV? Honestly. It's just banger after banger. By the end of the first side you'll be ready to punch a massive Russian and then enter into a highly problematic marriage with Brigitte Nielsen.
positive · AI labelView post →Time for Christmas Movie season - Ronin - In Bruges - Hunt for Red October - Three Days of the Condor - Trading Places - Rocky IV - Invasion USA (the original War on Christmas)
neutral · AI labelView post →Here's the wildest part: Cetera originally wrote Glory of Love for Rocky IV. Stallone's team passed on it. Too soft for a boxing movie, apparently. Weeks later, The Karate Kid Part II scooped it up. Rocky's loss became one of the most iconic movie themes of the '80s.
neutral · AI labelView post →Best movie montage? Rocky IV: Rocky driving his Ferrari through the night after an argument with Adrian following Apollo's death, emotional flashbacks from the past films rolling, soundtracked by "No Easy Way Out" by Robert Tepper.
positive · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway, Rocky IV is a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is on AMC. If you only had 2 hours to explain to someone the 80s, this movie is all you need
positive · AI labelView post →After months of having a ridiculously noisy neighbour, I'm kinda feeling fully fine with blasting the Rocky 'greatest hits' album out at a 2am. Hearts on Fire, indeed✊ Da iawn, John Cafferty. Rocky IV being my favourite Rocky film has nothing to do with it, obviously.
positive · AI labelView post →Rocky IV is the only Christmas movie that matters.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Omen is obviously the best movie of the franchise, but Damien - Omen II is the best Omen Movie of the franchise. It's a version of The Rocky/Rocky IV Paradox
neutral · AI labelView post →#AugustMovieChallenge #Filmsky #Moviesky 1 : music video in a movie 🎥 ROCKY IV (1985) Every Rocky film has a training montage or two using new footage, but Rocky IV was the first to make a blatant music video using clips from all the previous movies squeezed into Rocky's ride in his Lamborghini..
neutral · AI labelView post →Is Rocky IV a deeper movie than people give it credit for? Or do I just like the soundtrack and want to believe the movie is actually good?
