Stallone had proved after Rocky V that he still had a little left in the basement with his 1993 one-two combination of Cliffhanger and Demolition Man. Whilst the fifth (and that time, final) instalment had made money, there was a sizable difference at the box office to that of its predecessors and most importantly, it had left a large portion of its audience dissatisfied with the damp squib that the finished product turned out to be.īy the time of the sixth film’s release, it had been 16 years since we’d seen Rocky Balboa put on a pair of boxing gloves and with its star now clocking in at 60 years old, it would be a tough sell to convince anyone aside from the hardcore fans of the franchise, that there was still any fight left in the character to make this a film worth watching.

'Cause when I leave you, you'll not only know how to fight, you'll be able to take care of yourself outside the ring too.Until 1990’s Rocky V, Rocky Balboa had always been the one guy that Sylvester Stallone could rely on to bring him box office success.
And I'm gonna stay alive, and I will watch you make good.Īnd I'll never leave you until that happens. We keep losing and losing till we say, you know, "What the hell am I livin' around here for? I got no reason to go on." But with you, kid, boy, I got a reason to go on. Little by little, we lose our friends, we lose everything. The fact that you're here and doin' as well as you're doin' gives me, what do you call it, a "motivization," huh, to stay alive? 'Cause I think that people die sometimes when they don't wanna live no more.Īnd nature is smarter than people think. And I tell you somethin': Well, if you wasn't here, I probably wouldn't be alive today. You know, kid, I know how you feel about this fight that's comin' up, because I was young once too.
