Trivia:
Sylvester Stallone explains in Skill vs. Will: The Making of 'Rocky Balboa' (2007) (V) that Milo Ventimiglia landed the role of Robert Jr. in part because of the similarities between their mouths; if you look closely, you can see that Ventimiglia's mouth hooks down in much the same way as Stallone's does.

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the conclusion, in the first round of the main event, the announcer states Rocky lands 9 of 13 punches, but he clearly throws more, roughly 30 punches thrown and he lands roughly 25.

Quotes:
[first lines]
HBO Commentator: Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory; the fans let him know how they feel about it.

FAQ
What happened to Tommy "The Machine" Gunn from Rocky V?Rocky's record in this film is 57-23-1. Is that accurate?
Adrian's tombstone states "1950-2002." I thought she was 30 in the first film, which was set towards the end of 1975. Is this a mistake?

Balboa is gonna hit so many people in different ways.
I suppose you can look at any great film and see a message in there, but the Rocky franchise is so inspirational, even the 5th one.
This new film has had me thinking, and though some reviews have said it's a trip down memory lane and a rehash of the 1st, well the point is, as reflected in the film, that Rocky IS living in the past, like so many of us do for one reason or another.
The message as stated in the film "you gotta keep moving forward", I don't know if its me or just pure genius, but if you LOOK you will find something that touches your soul throughout the franchise ..
So i wont drag this out...........
I left the theatre kind of stunned. Its been a long while since Rocko got back in the ring, and I, like everyone else, wanted a better film than Rocky V. Sly has wised up a lot over the years, and all I can say is....
THIS FILM DELIVERS BIG TIME !
The fact that its the 6th one, and to be honest, its no sci-fi film where you can really go to town on the plot, there is only so much you can do, and Sly has done it. Yeah, you could say that the plot mirrors Sly's life over the last few years, but all the Rocky's have done that in one way or another. This is Rocky back to his sweet and charming self, stunned with what life has thrown at him, and just going through the motions of, well, growing old, but still having that ambition to kick life in the balls and say "it ain't over til it's over". He looks great for 60, and doesn't over train for the final bout, he's kept it very realistic, and the fight itself is handled very well, and looks different to the recent wars we have been used to. The film isn't just about boxing, it's a drama, which will inspire you, if you can put your ego to one side and let it.
Paulie is fab, he calms things down and stops certain moments turning into what some people may call cheesy. Unfortunately people with no emotions call things cheesy, but they are the ones who have yet to learn what life can throw at you.
This film is up there with I & II, and I need to see it again!!!!!!!!
Overall
A perfect ending to the saga, and an amazing turn around for the franchise.
