    Ugh the proto-Don King character - that was awful. And somehow Paulie had control of ALL OF THE FAMILY'S MONEY? You gotta be kidding me. I wouldn't trust that guy to hold a $20 kitty for a lame Texas Hold'em Tourney.

    You would think they could have made a lot of it back with getting some endorsements from Rocky's name. 
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Right? Doesn't he have an agent or something? "Write" a book. Sign autographs. Something - be resourceful!

    Nah, they gotta move back into the slums. Yeah, okay.

    There's also no way in hell Micky set up those 10 championship fights without some kind of management or promoter above him.  He was pushing 80 (said he was 76 in the first movie) and had to be out of touch with the social scene in the 70s/80s.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Call Vince McMahon. He would have paid for a few appearances.

    holy shit, how could i have missed the first round, I live and breathe this franchise!

    Three is the most "unbelievable" story out of the franchise, even more than 5.  There is no way in hell Rocky goes out to fight Clubber after seeing Mick fighting for his life in the locker room.  Plus the beating he put on Clubber in the first round of the second fight should have floored Clubber.  I could go on and on about the things that I don't like about the story of 3.
    3 is one of the best Cheese movies of all time.  This is not debatable.  :lol:.    

    I could go on and on about the things I love about 3!  :)

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    I think 4 is the best Cheese.  I mean c'mon, this is full-on Cold War.  Plus the goofiness at the beginning with the robot for Paulie's birthday present.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    4 is very high on the Cheese scale, as well.  A movie I enjoy watching, very much.
