More ROCKY continuity problems:
ROCKY II: Rocky almost goes blind. Can hardly see out of right eye.
ROCKY III: Eye problems miraculously gone. Possibly could've gotten corrective surgery with all his money, BUT:
ROCKY V: Suffers brain damage from Ivan Drago. Reportedly can't get a boxing license anymore.
HOWEVER:
ROCKY VI: Manages to get a license to fight again, despite all his previous brain damaging and having aged more than a decade.

IIRC he also said only dogs could detct them right away.

Right. Reese explained all that in The Terminator.
And Reese also explains that he couldn't take or transport any type of weapons. Well, in T3, not only is she liquid metal, but she can now turn into complex machinery.
