Rocky III (1982)
1 factual error
Directed by: Sylvester Stallone
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Hulk Hogan
Visible crew/equipment: Just before the second fight with Clubber and just after the pre-fight brawl, when the camera switches to the shot of Rocky and Apollo you can see a director's chair at the top left of the screen with "Mr. T" written on it. (01:22:50)
Apollo Creed: See that look in their eyes, Rock? You gotta get that look back, Rock. Eye of the tiger, man.
Trivia: When Rocky takes a swig of water from the bottle during the rematch with Clubber Lang, he spits the water into the bucket and some of it goes onto Paulie's shirt. Watch for Burt Young's genuine reaction.
Question: Do Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers actually punch each other full on at the end?
