Rocky II

“Once he fought for a dream. Now he's fighting for love!”

Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) wants a rematch, and he keeps demanding it in public, because Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) went the distance with him once and the champ can't let that stand. Rocky has fame he doesn't know what to do with, a new marriage to Adrian (Talia Shire), and no work he's good at outside the ring. Stallone, directing himself, hands Rocky back to Mickey (Burgess Meredith), whose gym is the one place he still looks like he belongs.
