He borrowed them off @Captain Turdseye

Johnny I always assumed you looked just like your avatar. I'm really upset here. Never meet your heroes they say.

I do. I’m wearing makeup in these pictures.

Guardian review of the new directors cut, no mention of the robot, Tone, but I'm sure they don't want to let any spoilers out.

 

Two stars, obvioulsy fucking wrong and written by an emotionally stunted media studies virgin who's idea of fun is watching the 'Three Colours Trilogy' in black and white.

 

The comments section is great though, my favourite being ...

 

'Agreed. I only got through the first paragraph of the article before I started shadow boxing and singing No Easy Way Out at the top of my voice

 

The reviewer should have given this 6 stars, and frankly it isn’t too late for him to change his mind. “If I can change, you can change, everybody can change!”

Worth reading for the comments alone, the Guardian gone rogue.

Excellent-

 

Look, all of this is no doubt true, but sometimes you just wanna watch steakheads pull carts of people through Siberian snow set to inspirational 80s Dad Rock.

Yeah, but Mick is doing it to gear him up, to make him harden to the idea he has to fight.

 

She’s just a whinging sow, and after all him getting punched in the head did for her, ungrateful so and so.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Its a shame they never made anymore after Rocky 4... a damn shame!!!!!

Still better vslue than most PPV

It’s a shame Rocko abandoned all the training Apollo gave him in 3, as he’d have boxed Drago silly for 15 rounds.

Was watching a thing once about Stallone shooting a film on the same lot as Masters of the Universe, he wandered onto the set during a break, watched a bit, and said to the director: "You let that guy talk?"

[Harry Squatter]

Saw a clip on YouTube of people going to some of the Rocky sites in Philadelphia. A lot of people go to the building where Mickeys Gym was and the bar opposite as well as Adrian's petshop. 

 

The gym is just an old empty building and the bar where he fights Tommy Gunn in rocky 5 is now a pizza shop. Adrian's pet shop has been demolished leaving a gap in the streetscape. People have been warned about going to this area as it is apparently very dangerous with tons of drug addicts, dealers and shootings happening. 

 

The gym is between the two overhead stops of Berks and York Dauphin and Rockys first house is down a sidesteps near there. 

 

Probably best sticking to the Rocky steps, the City Hall and Cafe Victor which doubles up as Adrian's in Rocky Balboa and the Creed films, it looks exactly the same inside as it does in the films.

And Rocky 5 as well when she won't let him fight and she just goes back to the pet shop being a big martyr.

Yeah rough as fuck round there! I think I saw the same or similar. Completely derelict shot hole run down with druggies and wrong's. To be fair it hardly looked like Mayfair in the original films.

Lang's reputation was built on beating a Balboa that wasn't focused, that had been living the celebrity lifestyle.

 

Drago was an Olympic gold medalist who took a better skilled Balboa, motivated by the death of his mate, all the way. He also would have won by stoppage if it weren't for some poor refereeing, an error that would sadly cost Balboa in later years.

 

Drago by stoppage around 5 for me.

 

Why do you think this?

 

Apollo was the undisputed, undefeated heavyweight champion of the world before he ever met Rocko.

 

The master of disaster, the king of sting, the count of monte fisto and about a dozen other badass names I can’t remember.

It at least seems to have some charm in the original films. It is in an area called Kensington and one of the roughest and most dangerous places in America.

 

There is a tour you can do with a Rocky impersonator called the Yo Rocky tour, even Sylvester Stallone has endorsed it. He will take you to all the sites but all the smackheads and dealers leave you alone as he's a local.

 

My mate said he went to Chicago and there is a park with a museum in it. Got the overhead train there and went round the museum no problem. Walked back to the train station and went back to the hotel. Told the hotel staff where he had been and they all went off their heads at him as it was in a place called East garfield Park where the crime rate is 600 percent higher than the national average. He also stopped off at a street where Ray's Shop in Blues Brothers was filmed. Right next to the station. They all thought he was like Bruce Willis in Die Hard with a vengeance wanting someone to shoot him.
