In John G. Avildsen's ROCKY V, times are different for boxing champion Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). A lifetime of taking shots has terminated his career, and a crooked...
more...accountant has left him bankrupt. In this final chapter of the ROCKY series, the Balboa family is forced to return to their gritty beginnings in the old neighbourhood, attempting to start their lives anew. Life in Philadelphia means a lot of adjustment for the once-wealthy Balboa family--Adrian (Talia Shire) has to return to her job at the pet store, Rocky Jr. (Sage Stallone) struggles to endure a punishingly tough high school, and Rocky is forced to face that his championship career is finally over. Soon, though, Rocky returns to what he knows best--boxing. He becomes a manager for Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison), an up-and-coming boxer, teaching him all of the tricks of the trade. Inspired by the memory of his own trainer, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), Rocky is able to find glory in training. However, Tommy leaves his tutelage for George W. Duke (Richard Gant), a flashy Don King-like promoter, and Rocky's rage and sense of betrayal inspire him to fight one final grudge match. Young Tommy and Rocky duke it out in a bloody street fight that recalls the brutal glory and hard-knocks finale of the original ROCKY.

Rocky 5 , good last film sequel to the franchise
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by Eddie35

Advantages: Acting, action
Disadvantages: None

Out of all the Rocky sequels, Rocky 5 is one of the best ones, and it's the last one in the series. Even more surprising is that the film has good acting, great scenes, and it's very realistic too. Sylvester Stallone even wrote the story for it. After his last fight,with the Russian Drago, Balboa (Stallone) starts to feel pain, which turns out to be a concussion to his brain which has left him in pain. As added damaged Balboa, finds out that ... Read review

American propaganda
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by WAD1-2-3

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: american propaganda

...the TV Guide and realised Rocky 5 was on, I felt this sudden urge to write a review about it. I have watched Rocky so many times, but what came to my mind was one of my History lessons a couple of years a go. I hope you will find the new spin on Rocky 5 interesting. I could write about the film, which I am sure most of you have watched. Yes, it’s very good, Stallone is very good and after a long and traumatic road come up triumph. But, ... Read review

Unnecessary
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by manosst

Advantages: Some good fight scenes
Disadvantages: we have seen it before

...even know there was a Rocky V. I thought the saga ended with Rocky beating the Russian powerhouse (in highly unrealistic fashion). Personally, I think they would have been better off leaving it at that. The storyline in this one is different to the others, but a little strange. Basically, Rocky ends up bankrupt because of some tax problems and is forced to retire from boxing because of brain damage. So he returns to the place he came from where. ... Read review

Review of Rocky 5 DVD by bjlangley

Advantages: Not many unfortunately - the fight at the end?
Disadvantages: Ruins the series

...in law Paulie's nose. So Rocky has to got back to his home town, into a tiny house, and his kid has to go to a normal school. Rocky has been diagnosed with brain damage, so can't get a licence to fight, so he can't make his money back. A young fighter, Billy Gunn approaches him for some help and Rocky agrees to train him, even though it means not spending any time with his son. Sylvester Stallone does a good job here, slurring his words more than ... Read review

Advantages: it's rocky
Disadvantages: it's boxing

...of the series. This time Rocky (Stallone) loses everything thanks (or no thanks) to brother-in-law Pauly (Young) and his poor decision-making in economic affairs. Now Rocky is forced back to the unsavory life which was shown in parts I and II. He finds a second chance when he runs into young boxer Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison) and decides to train him. However, Gunn has dreams of stardom and does not believe that Rocky has the brains to lead him to ... Read review

emotianal end of Rocky?
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by riz786

Advantages: gutsy comeback for old hero rocky
Disadvantages: emotional downturn

...boxing films about gutsy fighter Rocky Balboa. This film lives up to its previuos editions of Rocky.....action...drama...emotion.....and fights as dramatic as the crash of the titanic. Rocky is back in his home town almost reminecsent to rocky 1 which saw a rooky boxer fighting at local level taken up to the lime light a greedy boxer after some publicity. This film is different, and is brought to life when a controvertial boxing game brings together ... Read review
