The popular Rocky installment celebrated its 35th anniversary this past Friday, and fans are now awaiting the director’s cut of Rocky IV that Stallone said will release to celebrate the 35th anniversary. In a classic ‘80s boxing scene, Rocky IV concludes with a long, hard-hitting, and memorable final fight that sees Rocky, in classic underdog fashion, toppling the Russian. The fourth installment of the franchise saw Rocky Balboa attempting to avenge his friend Apollo by fighting the seemingly indestructible Drago in his home country of Russia. Also, it inspired the narrative for 2018’s Creed II. Thanks to its numerous eye-catching montages, its dramatic twist with Apollo Creed’s (Carl Weathers) death, and a memorable villain in the Russian Ivan Drago (Lundgren), it has withstood the test of time for most Rocky fans. However, despite the Rocky franchise's long history, Rocky IV, a much weaker outing in the eyes of critics, remains one of the most fan-favorite Rocky movies. After becoming a breakout star in Hollywood thanks Rocky in 1976, Stallone went onto become one of the industry’s biggest action icons, but he also continued his beloved boxing franchise, which now sits at six films and two spin-offs. Rocky IV star Dolph Lundgren hit Sylvester Stallone so hard during filming that he sent Stallone to the hospital.
