Audio Commentary featuring John G. Avildsen, Irvin Winkler, Robert Chartoff, Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, Burt Young, and Garrett Brown. Mason Dixon = Has elements of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, and Middleweight/Light Heavyweight/Heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. Stallone tried to convince Jones himself to play Dixon, but negotiations with Jones fell through. Eventually Stallone enlisted Antonio Tarver, another boxer and a Light Heavyweight champion. Funnily enough, Tarver also defeated Jones in real life when Jones returned to fighting as a Light Heavyweight after capturing the Heavyweight title. Tony "Duke" Evers: [to Apollo Creed] I saw you beat that man like I never saw no man get beat before and the man KEPT COMING AFTER YOU. She Cleans Up Nicely: Adrian in the sequels, who goes from Bespectacled Cutie to a more traditional beauty as the Balboas live the good life.

The jogging pants you choose should ideally be a slightly lighter grey to the sweatshirt that you choose to wear. Real Life Writes the Plot: Stallone has generally said that every film was written to parallel some period of his life, just with acting switched out for boxing. However, they do appear to a pair of Converse All Star High Top sneakers. They also appear to be white in color. Shout-Out: Numerous ones to real boxing, including various boxers (including Roberto Duran) being part of various training sessions or having cameos. If the films occur in real time, and given that the average age of a bull mastiff is 8-9 years, it's pretty clear why we don't see him in Part III or beyond.Beyond the world of costumes and festivities, Doc Cotton finds solace and joy in van life and outdoor adventures. Whether he's hitting the open road, camping beneath the stars, or exploring the great outdoors, he cherishes every moment of his outdoor escapades. Ripped from the Headlines: The franchise has never been shy about borrowing from real life boxing and translating it to the screen. Almost every film has some aspect to its plot that is heavily inspired by events that took place in real life boxing. See each individual film for further details. You could also add some red coloring to the hand tape to make it look like you have been pounding meat in the freezer. A big hit sequel gets a bigger budget and you can feel how much more professional-looking this film is with a gorgeous 1.85:1 2160p Dolby Vision transfer. While still very 70s appearing, the film as a whole is a lot cleaner, brighter, and more lavish so you can see more of those fine details in clothing, locations, and in facial features. Film grain is fine and apparent throughout without looking too noisy or intrusive. I also didn’t notice any of the slight smoothing I spotted for the first film so it looks more naturally uniform. Apollo Creed can sniff out a chance to sell an event like a shark can smell blood. He's more than savvy enough to grab every chance to make himself a dollar and can play a crowd like a fiddle. While not the strongest fighter, he was also clearly the most skilled.

Clubber Lang = a mix of Sonny Liston and the young George Foreman. He is sometimes viewed as a Mike Tyson analogue by contemporary audiences, given the similar personalities, but the third movie hit theaters several years before Tyson first turned pro.

His heart belongs to the world of cosplay, costumes and fancy dress, with a special fondness for Halloween, where his creative spirit truly shines. Over the years he has been hired by people across the country to make custom halloween costumes and other fancy dress for specific events. Tommy Gunn = Mike Tyson. Both were young and talented fighters who came from rough upbringings and abandoned the men who made them successes in favor of greedy businessmen. Although in Tyson's case, Cus D'Amato died instead of being abandoned. When he's not busy crafting imaginative costumes, Doc Cotton loves nothing more than a good party. He's the one who knows how to turn any gathering into a memorable event, infusing it with fun and excitement. Small Role, Big Impact: The plot of the first movie, and therefore most of the events of the entire franchise, are put into motion when Mac Lee Green (a character who isn't even depicted onscreen) breaks his hand while training for the championship bout with Apollo. Time-Compression Montage: The birth of the famous training montage that stretched over the course of a week.

One-Steve Limit: Averted. Tony "Duke" Evers and George Washington Duke are two unrelated characters. Measures approximately 65 cm in width, largest arm measurement: Approximately 53 cm x 29 cm. Will fit most adults. But, the flip side is the four Best Buy single-title SteelBooks look to be the solution to the problem of missing archival extras as those appear to offer the Heavy Weight Collection discs in addition to the new 4K discs. So if you’re really after all of the bonus features for the films, that’ll probably be the better way to go - provided the myriad of disc issues is fixed soon.Also, depending on which version of the game you get, the PS2 version has Paulie as a playable character, and the Xbox version gives us Ludmilla Drago as a playable character as well.
