It is the sequel to Rocky (1976) and is the second installment in the Rocky franchise. Congratulations to him! My vote is seven.Rocky II is a 1979 American sports drama film written, directed by, and starring Sylvester Stallone. I have recently seen the last 'Rambo' and together with 'Rocky Balboa' I dare to write that Sylvester Stallone proves that 'the last thing to age in some body is their heart'. His speech to his son is amazing and his attitudes are great examples to be followed. The plot is very well constructed, but the most important are the messages in the lines of the simple Rocky. And fighters fight I was reluctant to see 'Rocky Balboa', but fortunately the high IMDb Rating convinced me to see this great movie, if not the best of the 'Rocky' franchise. However, Mason's managers see the chance to promote their non-charismatic champion in a fight in Las Vagas in a charity event and invite Rocky for 'the fight of the century'. When the television shows a virtual fight between Rocky and the unappreciated undefeated heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) wined by Rocky, he feels the need to return to the ring to practice boxing in little fights as a sport. In Philadelphia, the retired former champion Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) misses his beloved deceased wife Adrian tries to get closer to his son Robert (Milo Ventimiglia) and has a routine life helping people, running his restaurant telling his past glories to clients and taking pictures with his fans. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. How much you can take and keep moving forward.

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Let me tell you something you already know. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. But somewhere along the line, you changed. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.' And you grew up good and wonderful. Rocky Balboa: I'd hold you up to say to your mother, 'this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. Rocky Balboa: You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here. The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters. Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began to chant 'ROCKY, ROCKY'. As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor, whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd.

Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup. Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out.
