Its a spoiler. It shows Rocky as the victor in the fight against Drago

I thought you were going to say because of the jingoism.

Did you really think he was going to lose in the end though??

Did you think Rocky would lose in the original?

That was a different type of fight though compared to ROCKY IV with ROCKY basically taking on all of Russia, so he had to win that fight to give that awesome speech at the end

Well, Stallone made back to back Regan-type movies with this one and with "Rambo: First Blood Part II."

Probably my favourite moment in the entire Rocky series is the end of Rocky Balboa when he's just walking out of the arena, waving to the fans, before the winner of the fight is announced.

It's a real callback to the original concept of Rocky - the result doesn't matter to him, he's proved himself by going the distance.

The poster for that movie shows him triumphantly punching the air like he'd "won" but he hasn't. So know knows 🤷🏽‍♂️ Maybe Rocky loses to Drago but he's won in some other way...

My favorite Rocky moment was when he knocked out Clubber Lang. Clubber was such a mean, nasty person

Oh absolutely.. That was quite the crowd pleaser when he did that at the time in 1983

This movie ended the Cold War.
