Something Spictacular

"Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a small-time boxer from working-class Philadelphia, is arbitrarily chosen to take on the reigning world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), when the undefeated fighter's scheduled opponent is injured. While training with feisty former bantamweight contender Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), Rocky tentatively begins a relationship with Adrian (Talia Shire), the wallflower sister of his meat-packer pal Paulie (Burt Young)." -------------------------------------------------------- No question: the “Rocky” franchise is one of the BEST movie franchises of all time, BUT, was it great from the jump or did it have to get better over time??? Is the movie or the backstory leading to the creation of the movie “Rocky” the best part? Would Adrian have been as lovable if they would have went with Bette Midler or Susan Sarandon instead?? IS IT CRAZY TO THINK THAT ROCKY MIGHT HAVE NEVER CHEATED ON ADRIAN EVER AT ALL??? Hey, how you spell “Del Rio?” AND MORE on “Rocky”
