Just like with the other Rocky and Rambo flics, I will wait until they show up on TV, and I don't mean Pay Per View.

Apollo died at the hand of the Russian fighter (Drago) in Rocky IV. Just who did they bury at the cematary?

As satire goes, I give this a B.

Angeles—For yet a sixth time, there is to be another Rocky sequel.

I know it's satire, but simple facts need to be right. "Rocky Balboa" ("Rocky 6") will be the fifth sequel, not the sixth. It will be the sixth installment in the franchise.

I ran in to Lee Canalito in Houston the other day. Lee was in one of the old Stallone films, Paradise Alley. Lee is another one of those 50+ year old guys that is in amazing shape.

Nice guy too.

The story will pick up with the fictional prize fighter retired and a widower in a retirement home—meaning no Adrian—who, now broke and after a attempting to overdose on Viagra, agrees to take on Apollo Creed for a third time in a nursing home bout to duke it out for their Social Security retirement.

Nursing home at age 60? IIRC we use to joke about doing a Rocky movie with two old cogers with strollers in a nursing home....and, it sounds like they went ahead and produced that joke.

We made a student film in high school, satirical, that was funnier than this article. Our character was named Rocky Bal-Movement.

Producers are said to be talking with former actor, Carl Weathers, to reprise his role as a wrinkled Apollo Creed.

Wait a second... is this going to be one of those Dallas-style dream sequences where the prior movies never happened? I remember seeing Apollo creed killed by the Russian figher.

So the rumor about Rocky VI being about a homeless Rocky being solicited for Bumfights is just that?

How about Rocky Goes To Washington where he kicks Billy Jack's @$$?

The real movie will probably be even funnier than this satire.
