IMDb Trailer

Rocky Balboa holds the world heavyweight championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago, a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimen takes him to Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face – a fight to the finish, in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country!

Editor's Notes

Note

The steelbook includes both the theatrical cut and the Rocky vs. Drago Director's Cut on the same 4K disc, which is a nice touch. Opinions on the Director's Cut are split. Some prefer the additional Apollo scenes, but the theatrical version has its defenders. The Gruv sale had the full Rocky collection at a good price. A-Tier transfer, and the training montage in 4K HDR is exactly what you'd hope for.
