Rocky IV : Rocky's face at the end
Re: Rocky's face at the end
Yeah I also thought Rocky was in far too good of shape at the end of that fight to be believable. He just took 15 rounds worth of superhuman punches from Drago and he's not only barely scathed but is able to stand there and give a speech about two rival countries coming together? I seriously doubt it.
Re: Rocky's face at the end
It makes even less sense when you put V into account, and how horribly out of it he is. He's so completely beaten up that he thinks Adrian is Micky for a second.
Also, went back since posting this and watched the Clubber fight. He's in about the same shape as here, but the difference is that in the Clubber fight, Rocky puts up a hell of a lot more defense than he ever did in the other movies. I think he dodges and blocks more punches in that fight than he does in all five of the other final fights combined.
I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Re: Rocky's face at the end
Neither of the Rocky-Clubber fights went past the third round which is why Rocky didn't sustain as much damage in them. But considering how bad Rocky looked after his two fights with Apollo (each going the full 15 rounds) and the fact that Drago didn't throw a single punch that failed to connect in the entire fight, Rocky's face should have been hamburger when it was over.

Really, seriously, honestly...I'd think one punch from Drago would actually kill someone first hit.
