Box set of the boxing drama series starring Sylvester Stallone new, digitally remastered editions. He wrote Rocky (1976), directed by John G. Avildsen, as a vehicle for himself, and was rewarded with a hit and the Oscar for Best Picture. (The film is also available separately as a Special Edition – see Cult and Classics for details.) Stallone directed the next three in the series himself: the rematch Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982) where he’s the heavyweight champ and Mr. T the hungry, angry challenger, and Rocky IV (1985) with Rocky turning cold warrior to take on the brutal Russian champ (Dolph Lundgren). John G. Avildsen returns to helm Rocky V (1990), the final chapter in the series, which drops the family back into hard times and forces Rocky into retirement. Stallone’s real life son Sage Stallone co-stars as Rocky Jr. and Tommy Morrison is the Philadelphia kid who becomes Rocky’s protégé.

(1976) After a string of bit parts and supporting roles, Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky, the underdog tale of a small-time Philadelphia club boxer plucked from obscurity and offered a chance to fight the champ, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), in the fairy-tale shot of a lifetime. Stallone sold it on the condition that he play the lead. It worked, becoming an underdog hit, earning 10 Academy Award nominations, winning the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director (John G. Avildsen), and launching Stallone's screen career. Talia Shire is Adrian, the shy woman that Rocky loves, Burt Young is small time loan shark Paulie, and Burgess Meredith is the crotchety old trainer Mickey who thinks Rocky's pet turtles would make good soup.
