40 Years of Rocky: The Birth of a Classic (2020) -- Narrated by Sylvester Stallone



Narrated by Sylvester Stallone Directed by Derek Wayne Johnson Including exclusive never-before-seen footage In 1976, a low budget movie written by an unknown actor was released, inspiring audiences around the world to go the distance. 'Rocky' became the ultimate underdog film. Over forty years later, Sylvester Stallone recounts the making of the beloved classic through rare home movies provided by Director John G. Avildsen and Production Manager Lloyd Kaufman.




This comes out on digital Tuesday


It's a $3 preorder on Amazon and iTunes.

Looks like it's a 30 minute film.

I am surprised Stallone is involved as it seemed to me he had no interest in anything to do with Rocky since it came out.

I think this came out a couple of years ago and was longer and better

Better than a movie that hasn't been released and you haven't seen yet?

Thirty minutes seems kinda short. I’d think a film like Rocky would be able to get a feature length documentary.

that’s for sure. I don’t know how they can squeeze in the impact of 40 years in 30 minutes.

Well, considering there are eight Rocky movies, and this is 30 minutes long, then each Rocky movie will get 3-4 minutes apiece. Well, maybe every one except for Rocky V.

I know, I know, this is only about the original Rocky probably, but they'll gloss over the seven sequels.

Stallone has milked this film so hard that he could probably suck milk out of a 98 year old spinster.

According to the description in the OP, it's only about the making of the first film as shown through some home movies. 30 minutes seems about right.

40 years of Rocky... in another 5 months it'll be 45 years since its release.
Why not just call it 45 Years of Rocky... or wait for the 50th anniversary and do a bigger documentary?
