Rocky 4 (1985)

The VHS Strikes Back EPS51

We put a poll out to our listeners of Sports movies. The outright winner was Rocky 4 (1985). A great movie loved by both of the guys. Pure 80’s nostalgia and training montages. What more could you ask for?

Plot Summary:

Rocky Balboa accompanies his friend Apollo Creed to the ring in a boxing match against a Russian Boxer named Ivan Drago. Drago is too strong for Creed, and unfortunately kills him in his match. Balboa blames himself for Creed's death and is determined to defeat Drago in a boxing match. He gains the help of Creed's former manager, Duke and travels to U.S.S.R. to take on Drago.
