    I would guess -20 IQ points and the juicy squirts
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Question is, can you watch the movies faster than he makes the sequels?

    How about a Dire Straits marathon instead?

    I'd rather sit in Stormtrooper costumes with Mantis and watch all the Star Wars movies than sit through the beating of Rocky 1-42.

    Hey don't diss Rocky #38. It had a good scene of his grandson sparring with Ali!

    Wow. That's frightening.

    Here's how they rank (I haven't seen the "newest")

    1
    2
    4
    3

    Saying 4 is better than 1 is just absurd. I'd almost say 3 was better than 4, but 4 had enough cheesiness in it to make it good in a funny way.

    5 doesn't even belong in this discussion, so I'm avoiding it.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    As with most movies and subsequent sequels, the first is usually the best.. However, in the Rocky series, I think that the 4th is the best.. Maybe just due to the cold war and wanting to kick USSR's a$$ anytime at all possible.. I cant pin-point why I like this one the best, i just do..

    Hey... Yo Pauley.. I been thinkin'... 'bout medicare.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Rocky was a great movie. Rocky II was ok as sequels go.

    III and IV were drivel. Entertaining but nothing but a cash cow being milked.

    V was painful.

    The last installment, is a good movie.

    See it was way too early in the morning, I didn't even notice I spelled equation wrong.
    I only made it about 3/4's the way in the first movie before I dozed off into a nice nap
