Product Description: East meets West when Rocky takes on a vicious Soviet fighter who literally killed his last opponent! Sylvester Stallone writes, directs and stars in this war between nations in which the only battle is fought in a boxing ring. Rocky Balboa (Stallone) proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a six-foot-four-inch, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimentakes him to icy Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to facea powerfully charged fight to the finish in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country
Amazon.com: It was time for Sylvester Stallone to say "enough, already" to the boxing hero he plays in the popular Rocky film series, but instead Stallone kept the saga going by pushing Rocky into Rambo territory. The 1985 Rocky IV finds the Italian stallion pitted against a seemingly unbeatable Russian monster named Drago (Dolph Lundgren) who lets his wife (Stallone's then-wife, Brigitte Nielsen) do all the talking. With a mighty punch, Drago has sent Rocky's former opponent and trainer Apollo Creed to an early grave, and the boxer responds with the ultimate challenge. Even the Russians are rooting for Rocky, so it's not hard to guess how the film ends. Despite Stallone's claims to the contrary, this installment was followed by Rocky V in 1990. --Jeff Shannon
Rocky IV Hard to find Item ^ I had been searching for this DVD for my grandsons birthday and was not having any luck until I went to Amazon and found it. I received a great deal with fast service and a brand new DVD. This DVD is very hard to find, the first three are everywhere but not the last two. Thanks Amazon, my grandson is thrilled.
Just what I ordered! ^ I am very happy with my purchase. The DVD came promptly and was exactly what was described. I am glad I went with this seller and would order through them again! Thanks!
Great Great Great ^ The Rocky films are some of my favorite movies of all time, and this one has to be the best. If you are familiar at all with the Cold War, or lived when it was going on, this movie will give those patriotic spine tinges whenever you watch it. I have to say that the soundtrack for this film is the best I have ever heard. Featuring Survivor, Robert Tepper and others, it is, in a word, phenomenal. The fight scenes are good, the first one being, as with all the Rocky movies, the end of the second fight in Rocky III. Then there is the fight when the "villian" kills Appollo :( And the final fight, where all the Russians begin cheering for Rocky. Overall I would definitely reccommend this movie if you are extremely loyal to your country, a fan of boxing, or an action movie lover.
My personal fave! ^ Rocky IV starring Sylvester Stallone is my personal fave of the Rocky franchise. Rocky IV is outrageous, campy, and memorable. This is the Rocky where he fights that Russian guy, something tragic happens in the first hour and Rocky wants revenge. The perfect '80s film, I highly recommend it!
Sublime. ^ There is only one question that needs to be asked: Is this a great movie, or the greatest movie?
This movie includes not 1, but 2 of the greatest montages of all time. The first, with "No easy way out" blaring in the background is the ultimate patriotic test. Does that montage give you goosebumps? No? Get the hell out of my country.
The second is the perfect juxtaposition between rustic and technological means of training. You think coffee wakes you up? Try waking up to a big slice of this montage punching you in your face.
The cold war was truly a chilling time in the history of our great country, and Rocky does not downplay the significance of this event. "If I can change, and you can change, EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!" Boom, cold war over.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll sing the national anthem while donning an american flag cape/vest/helmet, and you will experience what america is all about: Montages.
