If I had a wish for the film, though, it would offer some redemption for Tommy "Machine" Gunn. | BigSteve

Far better than either Rocky II or Rocky IV (don't lecture me about how great IV is - it was god- awful when it came out and the only reason people like it today is for retro Ruskie-Commie kitch value).
That being said, I can't imagine how Rocky VI could possibly be good (or what the heck kind of role Clubber Lang is going to play) - but maybe we'll get surprised. | JayJayDean

I thought Rocky V was a good closure to the series...everything came full circle.
The other problem with a sixth Rocky is that it ruins my box set.
Who am I kidding? Even if the plot has Rocky fighting Jar Jar Binks on Mars, I'll be there on opening day. | pieman

Stallone's magazine (Sly?) has been printing excerpts from the script, written by Stallone. It's isn't anywhere near as bad as it sounds.
From what I can tell, a 'Mike Tyson' type boxer is going broke because everyone knows that his fights are all fixed. PPV and television networks quit showing his matches because of this as well. He somehow crosses paths with Rocky and they get into a scuffle. Rocky, being like 50 now and retired decides he wants to show this young punk what's what and decides to get in shape for a fight. The boxing commission doesn't want to give him the ok because he's so old, obviously, but chaos ensues and he gets the ok. The 'Tyson character' doesn't want to fight him, but his managers and accountants talk him into it so he can make some money.
That's about all I got from the five parts of the script they printed. It sounds a lot better then Rocky V and to whoever says Rocky IV was crap doesn't know thier ass from a hole in the ground. Ivan Drago was awesome and when Creed died, I do believe I shed tears the first time I saw it. | OMEGA

Okay, I'll backtrack on my earlier comments. If this is gonna' be just two hours of Mr. T and George Foreman calling boxing matches then it could very well end up being the greatest movie of all time~!
