Surely it would be one where he is

Wait, I'm confused. Has a new boxset containing all six films been announced or is all this wishful thinking?

I'll wait for a boxset.

Completely, totally, 100% wishful thinking as of this date.

Watch this, I'll buy the first DVD, then they announce the box set (it's Al Bundy luck)

I picked up the new Rocky 2 disc with a Christmas gift card. Gonna wait and be hopeful for new releases of the others. I'd certainly like to have them. All good stuff, IMO - yeah, even V.

Picking up the BD of this for sure. Maybe this will actually finally get me to watch Rocky 5.

Good news. Just saw this a week ago and really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I'll buy it!

I finally saw this tonight and absolutly loved it, it makes me want go out and buy all of the Rocky movies on DVD. Is there any hope at all for a big box set with all six films, or will I have to wait it out and see. Hell if the James bond flicks can get released on dvd as much as they have I think the whole Rocky series could get another release.

You'll have to wait and see, but I'd say it's likely (not so likely on 3/20, though).

That would be interesting to see.

Yes, but that ending was never filmed. It's more likely this is the ending we'll see:

Yeah I don't think that first ending was filmed, I do believe that the second one was filmed. Although I also read numerous times that Stallone shot 4 endings. So we'll have to see.

Was part V's alternate (Or shall I say, original) ending ever shot?

also, no box set. Fox has distribution of the first five films, while Sony holds Rocky Balboa. Same thing with Casino Royale, and every other Bond film

Hmm. Now I don't know what to do. I've been holding off on the first five since the new movie was announced. Now it seems that I might have to buy them separate from Rocky Balboa. I'm still going to hold off just in case. Plus with Stallone mentioning his desire to make special editions out of all the sequels, it might be the best thing to do for now.

Damn, I thought this was going to be a 2 disc special edition. Oh well.

I'm sure we will have the "opportunity" to purchase one down the road. Which most likely I will, because I'm a huge Rocky fan!

I don't know what to do now. I was planning to hold out for the inevitable box set but with this news, I could buy the 2-disc Rocky, Rocky Balboa, and then hold out for SE of Rocky 2-5.

Newsflash: the "inevitable" box set is impossible due to the rights being split up between Fox (the first five "Rocky" films) and Sony ("Rocky Balboa")

A year ago it would have been a given but MGM's distribution has changed and it's not gonna happen.

It would be nice to see Fox relese a 10 disc box set of the first five films with 2 disc special editions for all of the films. They deserve it and that series keeps gettin' screwed over. It's too bad.

hell I hope so too but I hope to GOD the studios don't get greedy and do a box set with the regular films with JUST the 1st rocky as a 2 disc and rocky balboa and then do do ANOTHER box set on the 40th anniversary with all 6 being 2 discs which is pretty plausible, cuz I can see them releaxing rocky baboa as a 1 & 2 disc.

The Oliver Stone box set was released with titles from different studios. A deal just needs to be reached.
