Sylvester Stallone announced today that he will reprise his role as underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in Rocky 6. Thoughtfully titled "Rocky Balboa," the film will give a few nods to Rocky's advanced age, including:
The main fight of the film will be a verbal boxing match with Balboa's wife Adrian over a Scrabble game, in which Adrian insists that "yo" is not a real word and that Rocky must take back his triple word score.
Rocky brooding over his troubles while enjoying his favorite hobbies of gardening and Internet porn.
An ongoing gag in which Rocky awakens repeatedly during the night to pee, due to an enlarged prostate.
Rocky Junior (played by David Spade) graduates from college with a degree in product design and creates a revolutionary weightless boxing glove. Rocky serves as the glove's celebrity spokesperson.
In a moving final scene, Rocky will confess to Adrian that he is illiterate after unsuccessfully attempting to read the memoirs of "that Fantasia chick" from American Idol.
Pass the popcorn.

Stallone should have hung it up after Rocky IV. Beating Drago should have been the pinnacle of his career. The last rocky movie was weak. please. No MAS!!!

the reason why ppl never liked rocky 5 was because it wasnt like the other rocky's. it was an actual movie outside the ring. you get to see what happens to a boxer wen things dont go as planned. u see that there are no friends wen the moneys gone and that the only thing thatts always by ur side is ur family. i enjoyed rocky 5 n im willing to see the 6th. wont say anything negative till i do...and i would also like to say that my favorite movies of all time are also rockys 1-5... as of now
