Synopsis
Rocky Balboa (2006) is the sports drama you can watch online on iFILM, the sixth and final chapter of Sylvester Stallone's saga. The aging champ has long since left the ring, runs a small Philadelphia restaurant, and still hasn't let go of his late wife Adrian.
Grief pushes Rocky back toward the gloves. First come small local fights, then an offer nobody takes seriously: an exhibition bout against reigning heavyweight champion Mason Dixon, played by real boxer Antonio Tarver and thirty years younger. His son is embarrassed, his friends think he's lost it, and Balboa just wants to prove there's something still burning inside. Burt Young returns as brother-in-law Paulie, and Mike Tyson turns up briefly as himself.
Stallone wrote and directed this one, coming back to the character sixteen years after the dismal fifth film and giving him a dignified send-off. Rocky's speech about how hard life can hit became one of the most quoted moments in the series. Stream Rocky Balboa (2006) online on iFILM.
