ROCKY III (1982)
Featuring: Sylvester Stallone; Carl Weathers; Mr.T
Director: Sylvester Stallone
This third episode of the Rocky saga introduces to the big screen, the indomitable Mr.T. Who can forget him as the cantankerous B.A. Baracus from the cool 1980's TV series The A-Team? By the way and in case you did not know, B.A. stood for 'Bad Attitude'. But, back to the movie under review...
After unexpectedly winning the World Heavy Weight boxing title in Rocky II, the Bilboas get a taste of the good life. Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) also goes on to defend his title successfully several times. That is until an upstart, loud mouth youngster by the name of Clubber Lang (Mr.T) appears on the scene and challenges the champ to a fight for the title.
As with the previous two films, this one too is very good. But for me, the best scene in the whole movie is where Hulk Hogan gets to throw around Sylvester Stallone. It is simply hilarious and lends some much needed humor to what is otherwise a rather gloomy tale. Another interesting little tidbit is that Survivor wrote the hit Eye Of The Tiger specifically for this movie after Queen refused permission for the use of Another One Bites The Dust.
I rate this one 3 out of 5 stars also.
