At least with Rocky’s early opponents, you knew who the bad guy was and they were a force to be reckoned with. ![]() He’s supposed to be this unbeatable guy but he wasn’t intimidating enough and had kind of a baby face. Inspiring stuff and very well written!Īntonio Tarver plays the heavy weight champion Mason “The Line” Dixon. This one speech he has with his son gave me chills. He’s still as charming as ever and is in great frickin’ shape for an old guy! We all know that this character is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he delivers this simple wisdom that anyone can appreciate and it’s something we never get to experience in the earlier films except for the first one. Sly returns as our favorite and a much older looking boxer, Rocky Balboa. The story’s focus was mostly on life after “Rocky the Boxer” and the development of his character. Most of the movie, focused on Rocky reminiscing about the past and trying to get closer with this son, who was pissed at Rocky for always being in his shadow. I was little disappointed with the fact that there wasn’t much boxing or training until the last act. It was a little corny at times but as a Rocky fan, I still enjoyed it. This film just didn’t have the same magic it did when I saw the other Rocky films when I was younger. A computer simulation of Balboa depicting him defeating the current heavy weight champion Mason “The Line” Dixon raises a few eyebrows, hence the story begins and Rocky climbs back into the ring for one last time! ![]() Fortunately for us, he begins to toy with the idea of returning to the ring in a low level capacity. He keeps flashing back on his life and how he wishes to reconnect with his son. ![]() It was such a generous thing to give back to Philadelphia.Rocky Balboa, who has now been long retired from boxing and hitting close to the ripe ol’ age of sixty, runs a quaint little restaurant. Anybody that day could some out and run up the steps and they put all of these people at the end of the movie which is great. Seriously?’ I watched it and, as I got closer, I realized it was our film crew with all the locals of Philadelphia. As I’m walking up the steps of the museum, I see tens, twenties, a hundred people running up and down the steps jumping up and down with their arms and I’m like ‘Oh, my god, you’re kidding. It was my last day of filming and it was right before it was about to get on a plane. Having grown up on the "Rocky" movies and actually getting to act in one, Ventimiglia couldn’t resist the temptation to climb those steps at the Philadelphia museum. I think, if you look at the other films where Robert Junior is around, the conflict, the struggle that he had to deal with, I think there were only positive things for me to learn and to grow from and to build on top of what those previous actors had created." "If you’re gonna talk about Sage, you’ve gotta talk about two other actors that played Robert Junior. ![]() Robert Balboa was previously played by Stallone‘s real life son, Sage, but Ventimiglia gave props to the toddlers who played earlier versions. Stallone and Ventimiglia in "Rocky Balboa" To see he and I before a take, we’re outside in Philly where it’s 20 degrees just, ‘Oowwwww, ahhh.’" We both have the crooked mouth and if it’s below 32 we’re f***ed and our face freezes up. Otherwise, it freezes up which was kind of nice. "I remember him telling me, ‘Make sure your mouth is warmed up because it’s cold out.’ You could see the two of us when we were filming in Philly, standing in front of heat lamps just moving our mouths. "I remember that both of us, we have a little problem with our mouths, crooked mouths," he said. Playing his son in " Rocky Balboa," Milo Ventimiglia joined the club in a cold Philadelphia winter. Rocky is known for his slurred speech, a mix of Sylvester Stallone‘s acting and real life facial paralysis.
