Rocky III and IV are about 60% montage, and while they're great fun, it's hard to say that they're genuinely moving. All of these are addressed and improved by this fanedit.īasically, Rocky fans fall into two camps: those that really love III and IV but don't care much about the others, and those that really appreciate the more drama-oriented films in the series. Stallone also famously changed both the ending and his portrayal of the brain damage while filming. It keeps getting taken down, so I can't watch to confirm if it's better or not, but you can see the director reworked the end fight, the training montages, the music, etc. Avildsen (director of this film and the original Rocky) actually released a workprint "director's cut" online that addresses most of the same issues that LS identified here. Much credit to LastSurvivor for rescuing this film and giving us a version I'm happy to watch with the rest of the series. New End credits with Rocky artwork added, re-scored. Re-scored and heavily re-edited street fight to improve continuity and also to shorten the fight in an effort to make it slightly more realistic.
