THIS BRINGS US TO ROCKY II. THE WELL ASKED FOR SEQUAL.
IN ROCKYII APOLLO'S FANS ARE NOW ROCKYS, HE HAD GAINED INTERNATIONAL STARDOM AS NO ONE HAD 'GONE THE DISTANCE BEFORE' A LOT LIKE STALLONE HIMSELF.
ROCKY MARRIES HIS SWEETHART ADRAIN AND SHE FALLS PREGNANT; ROCKY HAS NOW RETIRED FROM BOXING. HE TRIES TO FIND ANOTHER JOB TO SUPPORT THEM AND GETS ONE LABOURING MEAT, BUT WHEN HE IS MADE REDUNDANT HE CONSIDERS BOXING AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH BRAIN DAMAGE COULD BE ON THE CARDS. WHEN SUDDENLY ADRIAN GOES INTO LABOUR, AT THE PET SHOP WHERE SHE WAS WORKING TO ERN SOME MONEY FOR THEM, WHILE ROWING WITH HER BROTHER PAULIE. SHE HAS A BABY BOY, BUT AS SHE WAS STRESSED IN LABOUR AND LOST A LOT OF BLOOD SHE GOES INTO A COMA, WITH MICKEY NOW ON ROCKY'S SIDE AND THE REMATCH IN JUST OVER A WEEK HE BEGS ROCKY TO COME AND TRAIN, BUT HE WILL NOT LEAVE ADRAINS BEDSIDE, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, SHE AWAKES, THEY VISIT THERE SON, WHO ROCKY HAS NOT YET SEEN, AND CALL HIM ROCKY JR. ADRAIN TELLS ROCKY ALL SHE NOW WANTS IS FOR HIM TO WIN! HE AND MICKEY NOW RUSH OFF AND AGAIN HEAVILY TRAIN FOR TH RE-MATCH IN A FEW DAYS.
FANS CALLED FOR THERE TO BE A RE MATCH ?THEY CLAIMED THAT ROCKY WAS THE RIGHTFULL WINNER AND APOLLO'S FANS CLAIMED THAT HE WAS PAID TO CARRY ROCKY FOR 15 ROUNDS. APOLLO REALLY GAVE HIM BEST BUT TO TRY TO REGAIN HIS FANS HE TOO NOW CALLED FOR A REMATCH SAYING 'THIS TIME I'M GONNA FINISH THIS CHUMP AFTER TWO ROUNDS'
HE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY AS THE FIGHT IS ANOTHER GRUELING ONE. BUT THIS TIME HOW EVER WITH ONE FINAL BLOW IT SENDS BOTH MEN CRASHING TO THE FLOOR AS THE REFEREE COUNTS 1. 2...3. ROCKY HAS TO GET UP OR APOLLO WILL AGAIN WIN ON POINTS..4 HE TRIES BUT FALLS BACK DOWN..5..6..THEN APOLLO GETS UP.BOTH MEN ARE SHATTERED.7..8..THEN ROCKY TRIES AGAIN..9.BOTH MEN ARE ON THEIR KNEES.. THE CROWD GASPS AS APOLLO SLIPS AND ROCKY CLIMBS UP THE ROPES!.10. YOUR OUT!ROCKY BALBOA IS THE NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!
ROCKY II ENDS!
