    Good review and I am definitely going to check out the movie. However, if his wife is dead, does that mean there are no more scenes with Rocky raising the right part of his upper lip and yelling "ADRIAN!! ADRIAN!!"?

    Nope none of that. However there are some reprisals of past Rocky moments - the training sequence to the rocky theme song appears again.

    What's the Rocky theme song again? Eye Of The Tiger? In The Burning Heart?

    It's called "Gonna Fly Now" - you can listen to it at YouTube.
    Here's the wikipedia entry: Gonna Fly Now

    Now I remember it - bum-bum bum (tat tat) bum-bum bum - and the theme song from Rocky is still used in lots of sporting events. It's a great tune to get the crowd going. I do think that Eye of the Tiger by Survivor is a better song to sing at karaoke though.

    Thanks for the reminisce!

    Sylvester Stallone looks like he is 100 years old man. what were the makeup crew doing? he looked fine when he hosted the contender's reality tv.

    Haven't watched this movie yet, I wan't going to watch it but from your reviews sounds like it is not that bad.
