Continuity mistake: When Apollo is knocked out during the fight with Drago, he falls to the canvas in slow motion. During the fall his hands are hanging down, but in the next shot, when he lies on the floor after the fall, his hands are in front of his head. In the next shot his arms are down again. (00:31:25)

Rocky faces his toughest challenge yet as Ivan Drago, a very strong Russian comes to town and challenges Apollo Creed. Apollo accepts, thinking the Russian and himself can have an exhibition fight in Las Vegas. Ivan Drago kills Apollo Creed in their match and Rocky vows revenge.
Rocky challenges Drago and goes to Russia to train in some of the best training montage scenes ever seen in a film.
Rocky goes to war with Ivan Drago and all the fans are against him. As the match progresses though, the fans turn and begin to support Rocky who takes it to the last round before KOing the big Russian.

Trivia: Sylvester Stallone, actually tore a muscle in his heart while filming the training sequence in which he lifts the sleigh that everybody was sitting in. Filming had to stop for two months so doctors could make sure that he healed properly and the chances for him having a heart attack would be reduced.
Question: I recently purchased the soundtrack to Rocky IV and one of the songs is called Man Against The World. The small pamphlet that came with the CD stated that this song was originally going to be in the movie but was eventually left out. Had this song been in the movie, what scene would this song have appeared in?

Answer: Presumably it would have been used in the scene where Rocky and company arrive in Russia. Burning Heart (also by Survivor) was chosen to be used in this scene instead.
