To Answer the first question, Apollo in a runaway.
No one else touches him.
I thought Rocky Balboa redeemed Rocky V which was one of the worst movies ever made. Tommy Gunn my ass!
Rocky Balboa was the coda to the whole series, and cements the fact that the series was really a ove story about Rocky and Adrian.
One thing though. I thought Rocky's son was Rocky Jr. In Rocky Balboa it is "Robert" what happened did the kid change his name?
I agree with you on Apollo Creed. Rocky was a nickname and the character's birth name is Robert. I remember hearing that the character's birth date for purposes of the movie is the day after Stallone's real birth date.
