There is never too much plot with these films, but it doesn't matter. In this outing Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) loses his title to a violent fighter named Clubber Lang (Mr. T).
He has thoughts again of getting out of the fight business, but just can't quite get the idea to settle into his head, so he goes and asks for the aid of former rival Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
Creed puts Rocky on the right track and soon they are ready for the epic rematch between Balboa and Lang.
Rocky is detrmined to get revenge for not only losing the title, but for the death of his manager mickey (Burgess Merideth) which he holds Lang accountable for.
The climactic fight is a show stopper and one of the best ever put on the screen. The rest of the cast includes all the regulars such as Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Tony Burton.
Other great moments in this film include Balboa wrestling man named Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan) and this is also very well done. I'm sure you've seen this gem, but if you haven't you should. Recommended.
