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.

Full review
This is round five for Sylvester Stallone's collection of 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 all the boxing greats...Rocky Marciano, Mohammed Ali, George Foreman, Rocky Balboa and the current champion who is a arrogant young boxer. When he finds out about this he challenges Rocky...and the money lures him back.....it is also a emotional comeback......with Connie gone his son is as estranged as ever but will he become his secret weapon?........
