    The funny thing is, Rocky 4 with all the music and it's fairytale story is quite possibly the easiest one to watch and the easiest to get lost in.:lol:

    I just reminds me of a very long MTV Rocks music video.

    If you time it, there's only around 40 minutes of film. The rest is montages and, of course, the fight scenes.

    When I was a kid I watched it back to back and knew the film word for word. I thought it was the greatest film of all time back then :lol:

    It's still great entertainment though and the training montage in Russia still gets me going.

    I didn't think 5 or 6 were THAT bad. I mean if you are letting 4 in then then the bar is set pretty low.

    2 and 3 are close though. 4 is garbage IMHO.

    Why would you time it you sad waster. Just watch it and enoy it, or it you don't enjoy it don't watch it.

    **** sitting there for two hours with a clock timing what you define as 'actual film' and/or music/fight montages :patsch

    Say what you want about Rocky 5, but it does have one of the best scenes in the Rocky series:

    Same batting order as 'Toffee Jacks' for me....
    1.1 cause its the best film/story/music etc etc
    2.3 most entertaining- best 'baddie'!
    2.2 decent all rounder if a bit slow at times.
    4.4 bit daft but entertaining good soundtrack/montages!. close call for 3rd spot.
    5.Balboa- stupid story-pensioner fighting world champ- but quite a slick production all the same.
    6 5 rubbish- but i still enjoyed it!

    The 6th one is the 2nd best IMO.

    All have their moments, but the first one is the 'best'. My personal favourite is 4; the death if Creed, formidable opponent, great training montage and cold war allegory :D
