SYLVESTER STALLONE'S ROCKY III, 1982

In honor of our weekend trip to Philadelphia tomorrow (by train! the best way to get there!) I decided to add the sweetly homoerotic (or at least bi-curious) Rocky III.

Below are a few of the progressively amazing training/jogging montages from the first 3 Rockys - the South Philly market, all the outfit changes, the kids, the dogs... Burgess Meredith in his little cap...

...the iconic PMA run in Rocky...

...familiar territory by Rocky II...

...entirely new territory for Rocky III!

and

Can anyone argue that Apollo Creed was Rocky's classiest nemesis, or fremesis? Thrilling that they gave him another chance to show his stuff (and how!)
