ROCKY HEAVYWEIGHT COLLECTION-Sylvester Stallone in greatest boxing saga-BLU RAY

Description: ROCKY HEAVYWEIGHT COLLECTION 6 - Disc Set Go the distance with this ROCKY HEAVYWEIGHT COLLECTION featuring all six knockout Rocky films. Sylvester Stallone stars in the greatest boxing saga of all time and triumphs as one of the most inspirational characters in cinematic history. Witness every epic, action-packed fight and unforgettable moment as Rocky strives for greatness through sheer determination against impossible odds. ROCKY - Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a Philadelphia boxer, is but one step removed from total bum-hood. A once promising pugilist, Rocky is now taking nickel-and-dime bouts and running strongarm errands for local loan sharks to survive. Even his supportive trainer Mickey (Burgess Meredith) has given up on Rocky. All this changes -- thanks to Muhammed Ali-like super boxer Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With the bicentennial celebration coming up, Creed must find a "Cinderella" opponent for the big July 4th bout -- some unknown whom Creed can "glorify" for a few minutes before knocking him cold. Rocky Balboa was not the only "Cinderella" involved here. For Stallone, this was a make-or-break opportunity -- just like Rocky's million-to-one shot with Apollo Creed. The "Italian Stallion" trains earnestly and goes the distance...against all odds! ROCKY II - Stallone returns as Rocky Balboa, a Philadelphia prize fighter enjoying his brief fame after nearly defeating world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. Offered lucrative product endorsement opportunities, Rocky's limited education and lack of sophistication quickly become an impediment to his future success, causing him embarrassment and his pregnant wife Adrian (Talia Shire) a great deal of financial concern. Meanwhile, Creed is brooding over his near-loss to a fighter he considers an amateur far beneath him and decides to goad a reluctant Rocky into a high-profile rematch. With the family resources dwindling and his pride wounded, Rocky decides that fighting is all he knows and makes the fateful decision to climb back into the ring once more with Creed, despite assurances from all concerned that he will damage himself irreparably. Although their first meeting was simply an exhibition fight, the second Balboa-Creed face-off is an officially sanctioned battle for Creed's championship belt. ROCKY III - starts with The Italian Stallion so famous that his likeness is everywhere, including pinball machines. The now rich and famous Balboa triumphantly pummels a succession of boxing challengers until he encounters Clubber Lang (Mr T), a human wall of brick who wants a piece of Rocky's action. Fame and complacency soon cause Balboa to lose his title to young thug Clubber, who inadvertently causes the death of Rocky's beloved trainer, Mickey, before their first championship. After sinking into a depression, Balboa must regain the love and support of his family, as well as the elusive "eye of the tiger," the hungry need to beat the opponent. So Rocky recruits retired opponent Apollo Creed to whip him into fighting shape after his embarrassing defeat to Clubber. ROCKY IV - combines ringside sports melodrama with Cold War patriotism. Balboa, the heavyweight champion of the world is now good friend of his one-time nemesis, Apollo Creed. Creed is brutally slaughtered in the boxing ring during a lop-sided exhibition match against the superhuman Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), an event that Rocky takes personally. Vowing revenge against Drago in the name of Creed and the United States, Rocky is invited to the Soviet Union for a matchup and hires Creed's former manager (Tony Burton) to get him in shape. While Drago trains using the latest technology, Rocky's ascetic preparations are a low key affair of carrying logs up hills through knee-deep Russian snow. ROCKY V - Rocky Balboa is suffering from career-ending brain damage as a result of his punishing bout with Ivan Drago. Upon their return to Philadelphia, Rocky and his wife Adrian discover they are broke, their fortune squandered by an incompetent accountant. Forced to move back to his working class neighborhood, Rocky finds that his only asset is the rundown gym willed to him by Mickey. Resisting big money offered to him by Don King-like boxing promoter George Washington Duke (Richard Grant), Rocky becomes a trainer and finds a talented newcomer in Tommy Gunn (real-life boxer Tommy Morrison, nephew of John Wayne). Rocky's son (played by Stallone's real-life son Sage) feels neglected by his father who lavishes attention on his protege, but Tommy ultimately turns his back on his mentor to sign a more lucrative deal with Duke, leading to a street fight showdown. ROCKY BALBOA - Rocky is still mourning the death of his loyal and beloved wife, Adrian, who died three years previously after losing a battle against cancer. Rocky owns an Italian restaurant and spends his days living in his working-class Philadelphia neighborhood, visiting with his customers, and telling stories about the past. His grown son has a job as a business professional, but the relationship between the two is strained. Rocky's growing dissatisfaction leads him to attempt to purge the feeling of frustration and loss by applying for a boxing license. When the current heavyweight champion, Mason "The Line" Dixon (Antonio Traver), needs to rehabilitate his image as a pretty boy who has never shown any real heart in the ring, his manager offers Rocky an exhibition match. This comeback allows Rocky to get his own life back on track, while also offering him the opportunity to help those around him redeem themselves and once again be a symbol of hope for the common man.
