Rocky travels to Russia to fight the Soviet champ who killed his friend during a bout. Will Rocky knock the Russkie out? Will Rocky get hammered on the head a great many times and sag around the ring? Will Rocky ever learn? Lundgren isn't nearly as much fun as some of Rocky's former opponents and Stallone overdoes the hyper-patriotism and relies too heavily on uplifting footage from earlier "Rocky" movies.

VideoHound should have it's nose rubbed in it's review and put in the doghouse. Yes Rocky 4 is short on plot and isn't an Oscar winning film (although the original Rocky won best picture in 1976), but it exceeds where it means to. By this time Rocky is a middle aged boxer who is nearing the end of his career and contemplating hanging up the gloves. But before he can do that disaster strikes (watch the movie) and send him on a collision course with a steroid induced super Russian boxer. Rocky shouldn't win this fight but will his training and heart get him to where he needs to be? Who doesn't love an underdog story where the underdog comes out on top? If you want to watch a feel good action movie that motivates you to do a few push ups then watch this movie.
