Rocky IV Director's Cut

[CRAMBAM]

It's not sci-fi, but I'm a huge fan of the Rocky series. Stallone recently released a director's cut, which replaces 40 minutes of footage, interwoven throughout the film.

The plot remains basically the same, but the new footage changes the tone of the movie. It's much less influenced by the times, and has much more of a human element.

It was terrific, possibly the best update of a movie ever done.

I had wanted to see this but didn't get a chance to see it when it screened that one day theatrically. I hope there's a physical media release, and preferably in a new Rocky box set (as long as it doesn't replace the original Rocky IV!).

During COVID, there were a few weeks where my local theater ran all the Rocky movies. Every three days or so a new one would screen, so I took the chance to go see II through V on the big screen.

You can see it on Amazon Prime. Rent it like you'd rent any other movie. That's how I saw it. $4
