A star rating of 2 out of 5.

John Marriott

The director of the original Rocky, John G Avildsen, is back on board for this instalment, in which Sylvester Stallone's Italian Stallion is forced to retire and decides to train a young protégé (played by real-life boxer Tommy Morrison). Sadly devoid of any emotional clout, there's a going-through-the-motions feel to it all and the only real spark comes courtesy of Sly's own offspring (Sage Stallone) as his screen son. It would be another 16 years before Stallone reprised his role in 2006's Rocky Balboa.
