Rocky II (1979) Sylvester Stallone

After a replay of the climax of Rocky , Rocky II picks up exactly where the first film leaves off, with Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) taken to a nearby hospital after suffering serious injuries caused by the pummeling each fighter took in their 15-round contest. Creed won the bout by a split decision, but the victory isn’t so sweet, as many fans accuse him of helping Balboa along, while some even think Balboa should have been declared champion. Contrary to what he said after the fight was over, Creed wants a rematch, but Balboa, at the urging of his girlfriend (turned wife in this film) Adrian (Talia Shire ), wants to retire from the ring, suffering from limited vision in one of his eyes as a result of the repeated blows he took from Creed’s fist. Between Creed’s constant taunts in the media, the inability to find a steady job, and a new house and baby to pay for, Rocky has to face a decision of whether he should risk his life and wife for the money and glory a rematch would provide.
