Rocky 4: Rocky vs. Drago The Ultimate Director’s Cut - Official “Then and Now“ Clip (2021)

Sylvester Stallone discusses his experiences as a filmmaker and his past decisions on the Rocky IV film versus his feelings now, including his thoughts on the death of the character, Apollo Creed. Rocky IV: Rocky vs Dragon The Ultimate Director’s Cut famously pits The Italian Stallion against his most formidable opponent: The towering Soviet terror Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), who killed Rocky’s friend and mentor Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) in the ring. During the Covid-19 shutdown of 2020, Sylvester Stallone tackled his long-planned cut of the film: the result is Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago, a fine-tuning of the legendary film as well as a fascinating time capsule of a pop-cultural moment. When it was released in 1985, Rocky IV became the highest-grossing of all the Rocky films. From writer, director and star Sylvester Stallone, Rocky IV also features Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Brigitte Nielsen, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Burton, Michael Pataki, Robert Doornick, and Stu Nahan.
