Product Description: When apollo creed is killed in a match against a powerful soviet boxer rocky decides to challenge him himself. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Sylvester Stallone Talia Shire Run time: 91 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Sylvester Stallone
Amazon.com: It was time for Sylvester Stallone to say "enough, already" to the boxing hero he plays in the popular Rocky film series, but instead Stallone kept the saga going by pushing Rocky into Rambo territory. The 1985 Rocky IV finds the Italian stallion pitted against a seemingly unbeatable Russian monster named Drago (Dolph Lundgren) who lets his wife (Stallone's then-wife, Brigitte Nielsen) do all the talking. With a mighty punch, Drago has sent Rocky's former opponent and trainer Apollo Creed to an early grave, and the boxer responds with the ultimate challenge. Even the Russians are rooting for Rocky, so it's not hard to guess how the film ends. Despite Stallone's claims to the contrary, this installment was followed by Rocky V in 1990. --Jeff Shannon

Very entertaining movie, but the DVD fails to include the subtitles for the Russian dialogue between Drago and his trainer during the fight. This sucks, because it really added to the movie in its original form.
Rating: - Ivan Drago!!!
OK, this is great movie cause it's part of the ROCKY movies...but quite honestly...if Dolph Lundgren had not been in it playing Ivan Drago...the purchase wouldn't have been made!!
Rating: - Brutal
I seem to enjoy watching movies in the wrong order. Previously, when I was really young, I watched the Back To The Future movies in the wrong order. I've seen the third one so many times now, that I refuse to watch it.
