The film Rocky IV, directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, was released in theaters.
Principal photography for Rocky IV took place, primarily in the United States and also in Yugoslavia (now part of Croatia).
Following the release of Rocky IV, the Rocky film series reached a new peak of popularity worldwide due to its Cold War boxing storyline.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
