Rocky V (DVD, 2005)

This was the last of the Rocky collection that I recently acquired. After buying my son, Rocky Balboa for his birthday this April 2007, I had purchased him Rocky for Easter. I then found Rocky II, Rocky III, and Rocky IV. I had completely forgotten about Rocky V where he trained Tommy Gunn. This is a summary for all you Rocky fans and fans to be.
Rocky - Rocky fights Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) after getting a lucky break.
Rocky II - Rocky has a rematch with Apollo Creed.
Rocky III - Rocky fights Clubber Lang (Mr. T)and gets a humiliating defeat. Rocky, the Italian Stallion thinks of hanging up his gloves but then he gets the help of an old ally, Apollo Creed and he gets the "eye of the tiger". He goes against Lang in a rematch and wins back his world heavyweight championship.
Rocky IV - Apollo Creed gets killed fighting the Russian, Drago (Dolph Lungreen). Then Rocky and the Russian fight!
Rocky V - Rocky learns that his money has be swindled, his injuries force him to retire, his son (Sage Stallone) plays his son in this movie and The Italian Stallion trains Tommy Gunn. Gunn turns on Rocky and taunts him and Rocky kicks his butt out of the ring.
Rocky Balboa - Adrian had passed away years before at the start of this movie. Rocky owns a resteraunt named Adrian's, Rocky's son is grown and working a job in the business world. Rocky meets new Friends, and finds himself being compared to todays heavyweight champion. He decides to fight the champ, Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) and a fight it is.
I HOPE THIS HELPS ALL YOU ROCKY FANS AND HAPPY LIVING IN AMERICA!

Glad that the series didn't end here... Not saying that this is a bad movie, but I am glad the Sylvester made Rocky VI recently.

The story here with Tommy Gunn seemed a little 'forced', but I have seen this movie a few times when it is shown on TV and get drawn into watching it again just to see Rocky finally have it with being pushed around.

For those that love the Rocky series, this should be part of your collection, but probably won't be viewed as often as the earlier ones.

The DVD was in perfect condition. We could not find it in stores. Bought it for an exceptional price.

My husband is a big Rocky fan and this is the only dvd of the set he needed. We checked for it at all the stores around us and finally I found it on ebay. My husband loves the movie. I think he watches it twice a week. Not only is it a good boxing movie but it has a good story line to it.

This is fourth best in the series. SPOILER WARNING! Rocky is officially retired as the last fight with the Russian has given him permanent brain damage. Pauly ended up losing all of Rocky's money when they were in Russia. So going back to where he started out, Rocky must train the next gen boxer. This is average, could have been better.

Very good movie with some twists which keep the picture interested. No "F" words, or Sex. The movie producter must be sober on this picture. Good family picture if you like boxing. I seen parts of it on public T.V, and like it. There is nothing I disliked on this picture. Buy it! I am not a Rocky fan :)

I like to buy in ebay becasue we can find many things at excellen price and under very good conditions.

The dvd has excellent picture quality for the price. This dvd is a great addition to those who have purchased the rocky trilogy instead of the anthology. It is hard to find by it self if you lack this film to add to your rocky collection.

Bought it for someone else aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is the number 5 movie in the series. If you are a Rocky fan then you will like it. My son is collecting all of them and this is the one he could not find locally.

I have not watched the movie yet. I hope that it is a good copy because I bought it for my 10 year old son who is a Rocky fan. Please don't disappoint this little boy. It will be a Christmas gift for him. Reg in Atlanta

I BOUGHT THIS MOVIE FOR MY DAD IT IS THE ONLY ONE HE DID NOT HAVE OF THE WHOLE SERIES HE WILL LOVE GETTING THIS MOVIE FOR CHRISTMAS

I purchased this movie for my husband for x-mas. I could not find it anywhere else. I was very pleased with finding it on E-bay. He will be so happy with it.

The movie was in perfect condition. My family really enjoyed it. Now I have the entire collection. Thanks!

Excellent transaction. Couldn't have been better. I ordered the DVD and it was here in 4 business days. It was in mint condition. No problems at all.

Item was descibed, perfect condition in terms of playability but no cover. I didn't care about having a cover, just wanted a copy to watch. Cost less than an on-line rental. Plus no download time

I had every movie accept this one. I asked people at stores about it they stated that it wasn't one of the best out of his original five so they didn't carry or keep it in stock.

worst of the Rocky movies by far, horrible music and flash backs.But i love the rest of the movies in the series and wanted to complete the whole set.

My husband's favorite movie. It is soo awsome. It completed his set of Rocky Movies. I decided to buy if because I could not find it anywhere but on ebay.

So i would have all the rocky movies and i had a found it on ebay and the sell was great and Overall, I'd recommend rocky 5 to all ages just a good movie

I really like this show and appreciate the great price I got on it. And recieved it very quickly. Thank You!

Rocky V was a great continuation to Rocky IV once Rocky got back home. The storyline is good and the acting is also. It's nice to see Rocky back where he came from and the ending is really good since Stallone never thought he'd play Rocky again. I recommend seeing this movie.

Rocky V is a perfect display of youth vs. experience. Rocky proved to Tommy Gun that he may have been older, but was much wiser. A must have for any Rocky fan!
