Synopsis: The Rocky - Commemorative 20th Anniversary Gift Set (1996)

Synopis: This boxed-set commemorating the 20th anniversary of the release of the original ROCKY features all five films in the series. See individual titles for further details.ROCKY: The sleeper hit that made its star, Sylvester Stallone, a household name. Italian-American underdog Rocky Balboa gets a one-in-a-million chance at boxing glory when the handlers for heavyweight champion Apollo Creed decide to set up a sure-win title bout with a born loser. It's all part of a bicentennial public relations stunt, but, unfortunately for them, Rocky trains for the fight like a man whose life depends on the outcome--which, in a way, it does.ROCKY II: The Italian Stallion returns for a rematch with Apollo Creed, hoping, finally, to capture the heavyweight title. This time, even his girlfriend, Adrian, gives Rocky her blessing.ROCKY III: Heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa faces his toughest opponent yet: complacency. After 10 successful title defenses, Rocky gets a little soft and loses his belt to brutal up-and-comer Clubber Lang. Will former foe, now trainer, Apollo Creed be able to put the fire back in Balboa's belly? Rocky will need the "eye of the tiger" if he harbors any hope of recapturing the title. ROCKY IV: This time Rocky travels to snowbound Siberia to take revenge against the evil Drago--a Soviet superboxer whose reckless aggression in the ring took the life of Balboa's friend Apollo Creed.ROCKY V: Fleeced by an unscrupulous accountant and unable to enter the ring again because of brain damage from previous fights, Rocky is forced to sell off his possessions and move back to the mean streets of Philadelphia. The former champ pins his comeback hopes on the brawny shoulders of an unformed, streetwise contender whom he grooms for glory. Unfortunately, a manipulative promoter clouds the young fighter's mind with greed.

   Pros: The fight from becoming a gangster to a fighter w/t heart

   Cons: making posative use of your God given energys

   This movie inspired me in so many ways it was about a man whom was a bum in the street according to statistics whom fort the good fight of faith to become a great fighter what was amazing was he believed in himself Mic pulled him out of the gang mentality by simply tapping into power this man never knew he had that take years for so many of us but Mic was special he believed in this because throgh his own experience anything could be done and he had the power to see just that
   
   thank you Rocky
   because of this testimony I have accomplished a lot you broke the face of a few fighters but you also transend a spirit of belief in us all
   
   thanks ...
