There's something about this movie..


Rocky IV was the first one I saw in the theater and it was electric then just as it is now..it moves at a good pace and I love the soundtrack to this film, so many winners: Burning Heart by Survivor, No Easy way out by Robert Tepper, Living in America by the legend James Brown and all his glory, USA vs Russia that whole rivalry like it had been in the olympics up to that point.. Rocky and Apollo, everything seemed to come together in this movie.

One thing I remember in the theater was that soundtrack-it rocked like nobody's business but listening to it on my flat screen tv it somehow sounds more muted than I remember. In particular Living in America. Does anyone else think it doesn't sound right? Other than that IV is great!

First one I saw in the cinemas as well. It is complete 80's excess and it's it's awesome!

Something about this movie? Um, yeah. The music montages, larger than life fights and characters, and the fact that it ended communism. It fucking rules.

The glorious music montages, motivational training sequences, killer action, or the fact that it ended the Cold War. Something? There's SO MUCH to love about this movie.

Are you still using a Zenith TV that weighs 500 lbs?
