With Rocky IV the franchise fully embraces the cheesy action motif and does so brilliantly. When Soviet boxer Ivan Drago comes to America Apollo Creed challenges him to an exhibition match, but when it ends in tragedy Rocky must risk everything to avenge Creed. Dolph Lundgren gives an excellent performance as Drago; making him one on the most iconic villains of the franchise. And the slick, stylized montages (which have become a staple of the series) have never been done better. Watching the montage of Rocky and Drago training (set to “Heart’s On Fire”), it’s hard not to get fired up. Plus, the boxing scenes themselves are outstanding. Rocky verses the Russians was a natural place to take the series in the mid-80s, and Rocky IV stands as a quintessential Cold War ‘80s action film.

Oh Rocky IV, the worst of the Rocky films in some ways. But also the most Rocky in others. Also, the film that is pretty much all montage. I mean, how many montages can one film take? Rocky IV certainly pushes the envelope there. It is a bad film. I don’t think I could argue otherwise. But, then again, Rocky. So I gotta love it, at least a little.

There's a lot I want to say about this film, but let me get my first point out there quick... they should be using this film as teaching material in film schools. When this film was first announced as the "ultimate director's cut" I have to admit, I cringed a little; but having seen it, I cannot thi More

Watched the Rocky vs Drago cut to compare to the original. An interesting attempt to slot a ridiculous movie back into the relative grounded tone of the earlier films, it holds the most value as an educational tool on editing and how much changes as small as a line and as big as new or removed scene More

Being true to my task of ranking each Rocky based on a rewatch, this one must be ranked as probably the worst 'Rocky'. It's extremely untrue to the series so far and works much better as a standalone 80s action film.

Why?

The ridiculously brutal fighting of III is ramped up to a Spinal More
