Rocky Sports/sports movies

[Classicblast]

I was really little kid when the first Rocky movie came out but I watched the vhs version my brother had all my life. I even got my own copies of Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky III. If amc or somebody shows Rocky IV I might watch it but that got a little bit silly. Rocky was pushing it age wise and the Russian was pretty darn big. "I must Break you!" I think he would have but for art and far fetched I can stand it.

The next Rocky he fights Tommy Gunn outside to prove a point and beats him. Again far fetched but with him having fought the Russian and won that I guess it could be made believable.

Now 17 years later he' Slyvester Stallone is Rocky again. Rocky is 60 years old. How the heck is he going to go in the ring and fight? This is just a chance to make a dime on a successful image. If Rocky was training the next champion that would be buyable but this is too far off the charts for me I won't be going to see this.

Its so funny, because a long time ago Weird Al Yankovic made a song called "theme from rocky XIII"

it was about how if they kept making rocky movies, how old rocky would be, and eventually he would turn out to own a deli. here are the lyrics(its a parody of eye of the tiger)




Fat and weak, what a disgrace
Guess the champ got too lazy
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain

But he's no bum, he works down the street
He bought the neighborhood deli
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say

Try the rye or the kaiser
They're on special tonight
If you want, you can have an appetizer
You might like our salami and the liver's all right
And they'd really go well with the rye
Or the kaiser

Never eats while on the job
He heard it's good to stay hungry
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob
Have a taste, they were made fresh today

Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight
But you just can't go wrong with the rye
Or the kaiser

So today, his deli comes first
Steady dreams of his past days of glory
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst
All the while you can still hear him say

It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite
Let me please be your catering advisor
If you want substitutions I won't put up a fight
You can have your roast beef on the rye
Or the kaiser

The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser
The rye or the kaiser

I love weird Al but somehow I missed that song.
