Honestly, the only actual "good" movie in the series is the first one. The rest are rehashing(which occurs with most sequels mind you) garbage. However, ROCKY III is a guilty pleasure of mine(I mean come on, don't f*ck with Mr. T!).

I mean Stallone turned down $150,000(good sum in 1970's money) for the rights to his ROCKY script. In fact, he finally sold the script when a condition was made that HE would be playing the title character, and he only got $23,000 for his acting work.

Anyway, my view is that "Sly" has actually done, from his movies I've seen, only two really good flicks in his career: ROCKY and FIRST BLOOD(which was a pretty thrilling action-adventure ride before the RAMBO sequels became quite stupid, ridiculous, and super-duper-flying-to-the-moon-patriotism).

As for ROCKY VI....from what AICN described what it would be about, it sounds more interesting than I expected. Then again, I won't hold my breath nor care for it.
