LAST YEAR IT WAS THE 20TH ANNERVERSARY OF ROCKY AND THERE WERE TALKS OF THERE BEING A ROCKY VI. SYLVESTER STALLONE WROTE THE SCRIPT AND ROCKY WAS GOING TO RETURN TO THE RING LIKE GEORGE FOREMAN DID BUT AS AN AGED AND BROKE BOXER,FOREMAN RETIRED FOR 10 YEARS THEN RETURNED TO BOXING.IN AN INTERVIEW STALLONE SAID THAT ROCKY WAS TO FIGHT AGAIN TO RAISE MONEY FOR A YOUTH ORGANISATION AND HE SUGGESTED THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY LOOSE. THE SCRIPT GOT MGM APPROVAL BUT IT NEEDED 22MILLION TO BE MADE AND MGM WOULD ONLY OFFER 10 SO THE PROSPECT LOOKS UN-LIKELY.STALLONE IS BUSY AT THE MOMENT BUT OTHER CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN APPROCHED, AND STALLONE WAS KEEN TO WRAP UP THE FILMING ON HIS LATEST PROJECT: CHAMPS, BEFORE ROCKY VI WAS PUERSUED FURTHER.ROCKY BALBOA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE KILLED OFF IN AN ALLEY AT THE END OF ROCKY V BUT THE STORY WAS CHANGED SO IT COULD BE POSSIBLE FOR A FURTHER SEQUEL IF NECESSARY BUT ROCKY V WASN'T REALLY A GOOD ENDING TO ONE OF THE GREATEST LEGENDS OF ALL TIME,NOW WAS IT!?
