Rocky Balboa by Michael Benton, Phillip Shadburn

Rocky V doesn't get a lot of love. That's putting it gently. Let's just say it: people flat out hate Rocky V. Let us walk you through the problems (and the triumphs) of this installment in the franchise.The film follows Rocky and the gang into Rocky's early retirement from boxing. They have lost all their money. They are now living in the old neighborhood where it all started in South Philly. And now Rocky picks up Mickey's mantle and trains an up-and-coming boxer named Tommy Gunn. But a cartoonishly evil boxing promoter will test the strengths of their bond. Also, Rocky's kid is kind of a little b*tch. Subscribe and tell your friends!
