60 of 90 · most liked firstNew upload! A rare digest film for Rocky I-IV, produced in Japan to promote/act as a preview for Rocky V in 1990! Scanned from a 35mm print in 4K! There's BARELY any information about it, making it a special rarity never seen beyond its theatrical release. youtu.be/IQ9VLptEdd4
neutral · AI labelView post →The only info we could find about the existence of this film, let alone its exhibition, is that a theater in Hokkaido had a listing for it in 1990, along with Rocky V proper and other films surrounding it (some of which were, uh, let's just say "classy" titles).
neutral · AI labelView post →As far as movie sequels go, neither Rocky V or Saw VI can hold a candle to Malcolm X.
neutral · AI labelView post →So Rocky V sure is a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching a V-Cinema action movie shot in New York, marquee spottings so far: The Return of Superfly, Marked for Death, Death Warrant, Tune in Tomorrow…, Jacob’s Ladder, Savini’s Night of the Living Dead remake, Prince’s Graffiti Bridge, Rocky V, and King of New York

But it’s about Apollo Creed, so obviously, III and IV have to be in there, right? It’s like this amalgamation of all the movies before it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/25/m...
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Christopher Reeve.... but this film was so bad... like Rocky V bad....
neutral · AI labelView post →39. Rocky V I hate a lot of the characters at the core of this movie (not Rocky or his family), but I think the actual premise is solid. And this works as a sendoff to the franchise (lmao) Paulie should have died three movies ago to prevent this from happening though. The world would be better.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky V was actually a good movie, it simply suffered from one notable act of bad casting.
positive · AI labelView post →Rocky in Rocky V comes to mind but even that just sort of made me sad, and they fixed it with the last Rocky movie and Creed. This is just...eurgh
negative · AI labelView post →Rocky V is still a solid movie IV is the best but V deserves respect
positive · AI labelView post →yesterday I found these 2 unusual Rocky bootlegs at the antique shop. They both say 'Rocky V', but the 5th rocky movie came out in 2006 as 'Rocky Balboa' - 21 years after the 4th film! And they use a younger Stallone on their covers!! any Rocky experts want to weigh in? 🧐
neutral · AI labelView post →I know most people hate ROCKY V, but the decision to end the film with an old-fashioned street fight between mentor and mentee was inspired. Rocky’s journey through V is sad, but the ending is worth it. #NRW #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →In Rocky V, when Rocky returns from Russia to begin the film, there's a marching band playing the Rocky theme. How do they know it? Was it made bespoke in universe for the occasion or has it been around since the first Rocky?
neutral · AI labelView post →That movie would be horrible had it been made. Same with Rocky V and Batman and Robin. Glad those never existed.
negative · AI labelView post →When Ms Nito (she has a bow on her head) said she's never seen a Rocky movie it was just a statement of fact and not as I thought a desperate plea for me to get all the Rocky films for us to binge watch over a long weekend. So. Anyone else up for watching four great boxing movies and Rocky V?
negative · AI labelView post →I’ve watched Rocky 1-4 each 6+ times! (I’ve watched “Rocky V” once because I wasn’t warned about the situation and I have self-respect. 💁🏽♀️)
negative · AI labelView post →I'd have done this like the Steve Jobs film, but it's the first day of filming each of the main fights from Rocky to Rocky V.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pick a movie for each of these star ratings ⭐ - Rocky V ⭐⭐ - Rocky II ⭐⭐⭐ - Rocky IV ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Rocky ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Rocky III (I’m one of the dozen Rocky V apologists in the world, but still…)
neutral · AI labelView post →Their punishment will be the only inflight movie available being: Rocky V
neutral · AI labelView post →Next Monday on the Boxing Movie Podcast, the time has come... it's Rocky V. #boxing #moviesky #filmsky #rocky
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m fond of a film called “Oscar” (1991), and consider it a great Tim Curry performance. Sly Stallone fresh off “Rocky V,” Tim Curry’s next role after “It,” and Marisa Tomei’s biggest part going into “My Cousin Vinny.” That alone should mean something.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie: Rocky V (Blu-ray) I don't think this is a terrible movie, but I also don't think this movie is a great one. Too many inconsistencies and none of the heart that made the previous movies legendary. This is an okay watch, but the worst movie in the franchise. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →My ★★ review of Rocky V on @letterboxd: boxd.it/z0Cut
negative · AI labelView post →Unpopular movie take: If you take the first half of "Rocky V" and fantasy book the last half like the underrated "Rocky Balboa", you would have had a watchable movie
neutral · AI labelView post →TONIGHT - Boxing Day is celebrated with a Rocky movie night on The Macho Stream! First up is the premiere of the Macho Mixed ROCKY IV followed by the seldom seen Director's Cut of ROCKY V. Bell time is 11ET/8PT at www.twitch.tv/machomike_tv 😎 #boxing #MovieNight
neutral · AI labelView post →And with that Rocky V becomes the 1000th modern film postcard I've posted.
neutral · AI labelView post →ROCKY V is maybe the most overhated movie of my lifetime.
positive · AI labelView post →1993’s “Cliffhanger” was a huge turnaround for Sylvester Stallone after a stretch of brutally-reviewed movies - “Tango and Cash,” “Rocky V,” “Oscar,” and “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!” - and a growing reputation for getting directors fired and causing budgets to spiral. It's still a blast to watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →When I was a kid, my dad had a bunch of VHS recordings of Rocky. After Rocky V, I found the next tape: Rocky Horror. Not as good of a boxing movie as 1 or 2, but a nice bounce back from 5, lol! Thank you for the chance!
neutral · AI labelView post →Film-wise: at 7pm, Elf on Sky Showcase. At 8, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on BBC4. At 9, Day Of The Jackal on Legend, Prey on Film4 or Everest on ITV4.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love (most* of) the 'Rocky' movies. But I don't need a movie about making 'Rocky'. * (I think we can all agree that 'Rocky V' shouldn't have even been allowed to exist.)
negative · AI labelView post →Just caught the arse end of Rocky V. This is a BAD film
negative · AI labelView post →Would you be interested in a "star's cut" of Rocky V? 👀 #filmsky 📽️ www.joblo.com/rocky-v-recu...
neutral · AI labelView post →Trading Places Again Or: Wasn’t Rocky V a Rambo movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →It does, but you also have to deduct one good movie as a penalty for Rocky V.
neutral · AI labelView post →This AI slop is out of control. I hate the way young people will think there was really a Rocky V movie. Listen, kids, it NEVER happened.
negative · AI labelView post →Now that I've seen them all, I can say with confidence that all of the Rocky/Creed movies are good except Rocky V. I can't think of any other movie series that has 9 movies with 8 good ones.
negative · AI labelView post →Film-wise: at 6.40pm, Jumanji: The Next Level on Film4. At 9pm, Kingsman: The Secret Service on Film4, Drop Zone on Legend Xtra or Rocky V on ITV4. At 11pm, The Commandant’s Shadow on Sky Documentaries. At 11.25pm, The Trust on Great Action. At 11.40pm, Holy Cow on Film4 #telly
neutral · AI labelView post →8. Rocky V (1990) A lot of people will say this is the worst in the franchise and while it’s not a great movie, it’s still alright but it’s not as enjoyable to watch compared to the other movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have a good night! We will have our 4/20 Special featuring MST3k: The Movie out very soon, so stay tuned for that, and listen to our Rocky V episode on your favorite podcast app. (Links below) #RockyV #MST3k #Podnation #MoviePodSquad #Goodnight #Laters
neutral · AI labelView post →It's like how Rocky V was excluded from some sets. It's not like anyone's coming to bat for that movie lol
neutral · AI labelView post →The fourth film, somehow, is Rocky V.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, it really holds up. The film has everything. I think Stallone got caught up with competing with Arnold on body counts alone and just forgot how to craft a good film. And while Arnold put out Total Recall and T2, Stallone farts out Stop or My Mom Will Shoot and Rocky V...
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky V is an *extremely* average movie, but "My ring's outside" is an S-tier delivery from Stallone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAEU...
neutral · AI labelView post →Any movie which is the 4th sequel is to be avoided at all costs. I give you Star Trek V, Rocky V, A Good Day to Die Hard, Indiana Jones & The Dial Of Destiny, etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky V was one of those movies that was on regular rotation on cable back in the early 90s because it was so cheap to get the TV rights. It was the first Rocky movie I ever saw. I always think of Richard Grant as George Washington Duke and his line, "The incredible Tommy Gunn!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Interestingly, Stallone ALSO reinforces and enhances beats from both ROCKY V and ROCK BALBOA related to Rocky's estrangement from his son with the things he EXCISES from the film, which reframe Rocky's pursuit of vengeance on Ivan Drago as as abandonment of his son which leads to their falling out.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been watching Rocky V on Pluto TV for the past few weeks, and there are some surprisingly insightful gems hidden in this film.
positive · AI labelView post →Rocky movie rankings: Rocky Rocky II Creed Creed II Rocky Balboa Rocky III Rocky IV Creed III Rocky V
neutral · AI labelView post →15. Rocky V Despite Paulie being the absolute worst and not liking the beginning of the movie, I did think that the movie as a whole was interesting in how it did a lot of stuff differently.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you do a Rocky V, can I be included? i only ask since that's considered to be the worst movie, but it has easily the best soundtrack. lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Brooklyn-born Mick LaSalle is an absolute treasure to cinema ❤️ - some hilariously scathing reviews (like “Rocky V”) are not in this searchable database, but even disagreeing, I love his take (check out “A.I.”) Happy retirement, Mick! www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...
neutral · AI labelView post →I rented V as a kid. I want to say it was the 1st film I rented & never finished. Either that or Superman IV w/e it's called when you feel total embarrassment on behalf of someone else, that was me watching some of Rocky V
negative · AI labelView post →Yea. I really liked it, too. It's probably my 3rd favorite behind the original and the first Creed movie. To me, it's like a mulligan for Rocky V - a broken old fighter who's trying to pick up the pieces of his life.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky V is objectively the worst Rocky but it's also the most interesting. It's a completely wild movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, well worth the journey. Rocky I and II are Academy Award winners. Rocky III is fun. Rocky IV is a terrible movie, but a cult classic. Rocky V probably should not have been made. After that, Creed is fantastic, and a wonderful evolution of the Rocky films. Creed II is good...not great.
negative · AI labelView post →Sylvester Stallone is talking with Amazon about recutting Rocky V. He wants three weeks to rework the 1990 film, including restoring more of Bill Conti’s music. Stallone says he’s “100%” sure he can improve it. #RockyV #Rocky #GeekRealmHub
