Rocky VI?!?!?!?!

[ZapRowsdower]

According to Rotten Tomatoes:

Production Weekly brings us the news that everyone's favorite 1980's butt-kicker, Sylvester Stallone, will be climbing back into the ring (yes, again) when he writes, directs, and stars in "Rocky 6."

Lonely and at loose ends, retired boxer Rocky Balboa comes out of retirement, intending to fight a few low-profile local fights just to keep his hand in. But when he's approached to fight a match with reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, Rocky's modest little comeback becomes the center of a media firestorm.

"Rocky 6" is scheduled to begin filming early December in Los Angeles.

I think it sounds ridiculous, but after they make it, they can FINALLY go ahead and make THIS one:

Haha.

Springfield rules you suckers!

I've got no problems with Rocky VI - except for the original film this series was not one to be taken seriously but still occasionally entertaining. Same with VI, I think.

Did you hear that kid? He said 'radical!' That's my word, that's my thing that I say!

The only thing good about that movie is that poster you made Smitty. (so funny as always!)

UGH. Poor Sly......

I agree completely. As far as I'm concerned, the sequels don't really matter. The original is a classic that everyone should see (Shameless plug - see "Heineken's Essentials"), but the sequels don't really exist in my world. I've seen them all, but they're pretty much "light entertainment" and driven by money, in comparison to the original.

In case you haven't heard, just read that Stallone is going to mine his other franchise and has agreed to star in a fourth RAMBO movie as well.
