The Rocky Collection
It’s time to settle in for Rocky marathon as all of the Rocky movies are now available in the Rocky Collection. Rocky earned Sylvester Stallone an Oscar, and inspired many sequels and several spin-offs including Creed and Creed II.
It all began with Rocky, the classic boxing drama written and starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky had enough guts, glory and tenacity to win hearts worldwide, becoming the highest grossing film of 1976. Mirroring a real contender’s story on screen and behind the scenes, this film made Stallone famous.
Once you’ve revisited the iconic moments in the first film, move on to Rocky II, Rocky II, Rocky IV, Rocky V and finally Rocky Balboa. But Rocky’s journey isn’t over yet: there’s also Creed: Rocky’s Legacy to enjoy.
In the new films, we discover a new hero. As the son of the late Apollo Creed, the great opponent of Rocky Balboa, Adonis Johnson (played by Michael B Jordan) has boxing in his blood. Not knowing where else to turn to, Adonis decides to find Rocky and ask him to be his trainer.
