6) A baseball bat is accepted way to great a vistor of your home.
7) Numbers which almost add up to 90 are a good omen.

[–] mindstamina3000 14 years ago

1) Apollo has to learn to just "Let it go.....Let it go".

2) Using humiliation tactics will make you seem like a bag guy.

3) You just went 12 rounds with the greatest fighter in the world and have lethal Boxing abilities but bums chilling on your block have the balls to disrespect you.

4) Gay kids like playing stick ball because they can shake their butts.

5) Those who sent Apollo hate mails were sincere and well mannered enough to not include cuss words nor profanity.

6) The rematch was totally different from the first fight. It went from being a Boxing match to a Philadelphia street fight.

7) Nothing ends a movie with such a happier note than seeing a mobster celebrating in the crowd after Rocky wins.

8) I loves you to.

9) Rocky's eye heals after this movie even after having a slug war fest with Apollo as it is never mention again.

10) Apollo has a large crowd shouting his name as he is training in his gym.

42. rocky has a criminal record... but nothing worth "bragging about"

Apparently it is worth bragging about because it would hinder Rocky's case against his lawyer(see Rocky V).

9) Rocky's eye heals after this movie even after having a slug war fest with Apollo as it is never mention again.

It's touched upon in Rocky III. Now to continue:

Adrian obviously has never heard of toxoplasmosis.

Interest rates on home mortgages were crazy high back then.

Rocky doesn't want a good paying menial labor job.

Duke was right.

The Spectrum's interior doesn't quite look like the Spectrum's interior.

Bill Baldwin apparently doesn't visit Philly often because he's never seen so many Italians in his life.

Rocky like this robe better than that baggy one was last year.

Rocky isn't very mature.

If you can catch a chicken, you can catch greased lightning.

Apparently it's perfectly OK to have an army of kids follow you while you run to the point that they clog the streets. Especially in a traffic heavy city like Philadelphia.

Rocky understands Italian but can't speak it.

Apollo doesn't mind playing the heel.

That an athlete training for a heavyweight championship fight can run at a pace slow enough for a mob of 11 year olds to follow along as long as it ends with a sprint up a flight of stairs
