take what I got!"

Clubber Lang, when asked by
a reporter if he hates Rocky
Why watch this? I
was not expecting the third Rocky film to be this good. Hats off
to Stallone and company.

Dad's Preview:
Rocky has the title now. His dreams are realized. Now what? Does
he just rake in the money, and box a few cupcakes along the way,
riding his success? All seems fine until he is challenged by
Clubber Lang. He's a fierce, monster of a man who calls Rocky out
and plans to annihilate him. Rocky has to do some soul-searching
to get back his "Eye of the Tiger". To succeed he'll
need some help. |
