Rocky IV
(1985) |
 |
|
When Rocky's old friend Apollo
Creed is killed during a fight with a superfit Russian boxer
Ivan Drago, Rocky blames himself for the death when he could
have thrown in the towel before the crucial moment. Fuelled by
the Russian's arrogance, Rocky arranges a fight with the new
champion, only this time in Russia. |

(Drago) I must break you.
(said in a very deep voice)
(Rocky) I see three of
him...
(Paulie) Hit the one in the middle! |

Dolph is amazing! Being his
first major role in the movies, he truly set some great groundwork
starring opposite Stallone in this flick. The movie itself is
pretty good in its own right, but Dolph is just incredible -
he doesn't get to say too many lines (the ones he does are classic,
however), but just his presence on the screen is so powerful.
Watching his character Ivan Drago go head-to-head with Apollo
Creed and then Rocky, you can't help but be in awe of him. For
very good reasons, this is the movie that launched his career... |
