I watched Rockys 1 thru 4 on damn near repeat as a kid. My college roommate had somehow never seen Rocky III. When that final fight starts and Rocky comes flying out of the corner, my friend jumped out his chair and said "oh shite!"

It was like watching it again for the first time.

Yeah, I was watching it and had forgotten how he came out fast in the second match.

I also thought Talia Shire had some solid acting moments, especially when she’s on the beach with Stallone

Hot take: Clubber Lang did nothing wrong. He was the undisputed number 1 challenger and Rock, through Mickey, was ducking him and fighting cans instead. What else was Lang to do? He'd earned his shot, but the Balboa camp wasn't playing fair. It might not have been gentlemanly to show up to his press conference and the stuff with Adrien crossed a line, but calling out Balboa's manhood was clearly the only thing that would get the two into the ring.

Don't duck fighters and you won't have fighters who can call you out on it.

I know most people say Drago, but Clubber was my favorite Rocky opponent.

Don't downplay that. It's evidence that Lang is just a lowlife.

He wasn't. That was all Mick's doing.

And in the end, Rock kicked his arse and went on to make numerous sequels, as well as many other classic action flicks. Lang ended up doing picture signings at shopping malls. Probably still comes on to random married women in public, though.

It would’ve been interesting to see what Lang was up to in later Rocky movies.
