Is it even worth stealing offline? Why cant Stallone let this tired series die? After beating the russian that shoulda been it. Yet Sly Stallone can't let it go. Is he THAT hard up for attention and money?

Why cant Stallone let this tired series die?

Thought of that when I first heard he was making the sixth Rocky movie. Don't think dude's hurting for cash, just trying to re-capture lost glory. He's had limited success outside of the ring. He's squeezing the shit out of the Rambo series as well: "Rambo IV: Pearl of the Cobra" is due out in 2008. Sly had one other movie "Copland" in 1997 which did well and featured a great ensemble cast. Most of the other stuff on his resume were near misses or flatout stinkers.

Sly's first flick was the 1970 epic "The Party at Kitty and Stud's" AKA "The Italian Stallion." Find this movie and you'll laugh your ass off. The movie appeared on cable around 1980.

Kitty: Someday you'll be known as the Italian Stallion.
Stud: Let's get high.

deathrace 2000 was a staple on early HBO, and a true B classic.

For some odd fucking reason, I want to see it. Maybe it is because I just loved the Rocky series so much as a kid that it may bring back some memories. I own 1-4. i will not buy 5. I do not "go to the movies" any longer. Having kids seem to put a stop to that. I will Netflix, burn and return it though. I might watch it before I burn it though. I just tend to burn movies and watch them up to weeks later (back to the having children and all).

Watched it last night... not a bad fuckin' film at all. Closest one to the tone of the first.

^^^

I agree. Very similar to I and II. Not a bad way to end the series. He should have made V this way.
