Rocky - (may be minor spoilers ahead)
Yo, this film is pretty damn good you know? YO ADRIAN, THIS FILM IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD YOU KNOW?
Its pretty good you know.
Rocky (in case you live under a rock or in Wales or something), is the story of a debt collector for a loan shark, Rocky Balboa, who moonlights as a boxer (or the other way round depending on your way of viewing things). When the World Heavyweight Champion Apollo Creed's opponent pulls out of their title fight in Philadelphia, he decides to fight a local fighter as a spectacle. The local fighter? Rocky Balboa.
Unlike most sports films, Rocky makes the audience sympathise with Stallone's character, despite his occupation, and has a realistic view of working-class life. Even in its schmaltzy moments, such as when Rocky goes down in the 14th, it packs punch. A sporting classic.
