Watch Sylvester Stallone Train For Rocky Balboa Scene in Throwback Video
Sylvester Stallone shares a video of himself choreographing a fight with Antonio Tarver for Rocky Balboa. With a career spanning upwards of five decades, Stallone has cemented himself as one of the greatest action stars of all time. His first major claim to fame was writing and starring in the watershed boxing drama Rocky in 1976, which launched its respective franchise and made Stallone’s name almost synonymous with “champ.”
Rocky’s cultural impact led to the Stallone-helmed follow-ups Rocky II, III, and IV, with the latter being an unapologetic, massively successful byproduct of the hyper-muscular 1980s. Following Rocky’s battle with the seemingly invincible Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), the Italian Stallion returned in 1990's Rocky V, which saw the Philadelphia slugger lose his wealth and be forced into retirement. The sequel failed to connect with audiences and is largely considered the worst film in the Rocky franchise. Over a decade later, Stallone returned for what he thought would be one last round against Mason ‘The Line’ Dixon (Tarver) in Rocky Balboa—a film that many were skeptical about but ended up reviving the franchise in a big way.
