Rocky III

A Fighter. A Lover. A Legend. The Greatest Challenge.

Rocky battles his most powerful adversary yet – the ferocious Clubber Lang (Mr.T) – in this hard hitting actioner that comes out swinging with adventure, humour and emotionally charged human drama. For what may be the most exciting and fast-paced film in the series, Sylvester Stallone write, directs and stars with explosive passion and intensity.

As Rocky Balboa (Stallone) fights his way into he hearts of millions, life couldn't be better. He scores ten consecutive wins, lands lucrative endorsement contracts, and becomes famous throughout the world. But when Clubber Lang K.O.s Rocky in a humiliating defeat, it becomes apparent that the “Italian Stallion” has lost his edge. Considering hanging up the gloves, Rocky receives encouragement from an unlikely ally: his old nemesis, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With Creed's help, Rocky strives to regain the “eye of the tiger” before confronting Lang in a gruelling rematch for the world heavyweight championship.

Critic Reviews:

• " Stallone is distinctly at his best when the film takes off into almost abstract montages of ;music or images, or in the nifty choreography of the fights. " – David Robinson

• " Rocky III is an engaging exercise in discreet, incisive and good-humored hokum. " – Gary Arnold

• " The real question with Rocky III was how Sylvester Stallone could twist the plot to make an interesting difference. He manages. " – Variety Staff
