Short description
Rocky Balboa proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Ivan Drago, a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the episode where Rocky addresses the Soviet audience, his line “It's better than making twenty million people kill each other” is translated into Russian as: “It's better than 20 million dollars.”
- Dolph Lundgren received the role of Ivan Drago, beating out 5,000 candidates.
- Brigitte Nielsen was in charge of casting for the film.
- Stallone and Lundgren trained together for six months during the preparation for filming.
- The film was banned from release in the USSR.
- Filming period: April 30 – July 1985.
- An American boxer is sent to train in a small town called Krasnogurbinsk, which does not actually exist.
- Before the fight, the Soviet anthem of 1943–1955 is played. Although the film's plot takes place in 1985.
- During the performance of the Soviet anthem, the orchestra stops playing before the anthem is finished.
- Drago's captain's shoulder boards do not correspond to those of a junior officer and have two pips, like those of a senior officer, while the captain's stars are attached to one of the pips.
- Stallone refused to simulate a boxing match with Dolph Lundgren and decided to fight him for real. As a result, the latter's powerful blows made Stallone regret his decision.
