Trivia:
The montage of Rocky's celebratory appearances features a scene of him on "The Muppet Show" (1976). The footage used is actually a real episode featuring Sylvester Stallone from January 9, 1979. For the movie, Jim Henson dubbed in Rocky's name during Kermit's introduction. Stallone's actual appearance at the 1976 Academy Awards is also seen during the montage. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Mickey's tombstone shows the year he was born as "1905", which is inconsistent with material from Rocky (1976). The first movie takes place between November 25th 1975 and January 1st 1976. Mickey in the first movie tells Rocky he is 76 years old, which would make the year he was born be either 1899 (if Mickey's birthday was between January and November) or 1898 (if his birthday was in December). more

A great flick !, 1 April 2001
Author: (caspian1978@hotmail.com) from Attleboro, MA

Another film worthy of a Frank Stallone sound track, Rocky 3 has been one of the biggest box office turn outs in history. Not only did every Italian American run out to see this film when it was in the theaters but it made the song "Eye of the Tiger" a national hit. Rocky 3 was also a debut film for MR. T. An excellent performance as one of the best villains in movie history. This one is not only written by Sly....it is also directed by him as well. Check it out.
