![]() In Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone was on steroids and diuretics for every fight, looking like a bodybuilder all of the sudden. In Rocky II, Sylvester Stallone was in amazing shape. Rocky is having a charity boxing/wrestling match with this giant named Thunder Lips, who was played by professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. It opens up with the last round of Rocky II, copying the Rocky II intro perfectly, and then the weirdest thing ever happens. I mean, what? While a great movie, Rocky III had a lot of parts that just never added up. So if you’re ready, I’m ready, and I’ll even let you ring the bell. These rankings also don’t include the Creed movie franchise, while incredible in its own right I believe it is it’s own beast, and it wouldn’t be fair to throw them alongside the five original Rocky movies. This ranking will be based on the original five Rocky movies, not including Rocky Balboa, mostly because it doesn’t fit with the number scheme and I don’t think many people consider it in the collection of movies, but if it interests you, it’d be dead last. While I am certainly a sports writer and analyst and wouldn’t consider myself a movie critic, when we’re speaking about the Star Wars of sports movie franchises, I think I’m allowed to step in. The Rocky franchise is easily the greatest sports franchise in the history of cinema, and with its triumphant return to Netflix this month, they still all continue to stand the test of time.
