    :lol:

    I thought the Rocky mention was relevant, insofar that it made people become aware of Tommy. And I don't think there's any trimming that down. The story, at least as far as I saw it, was the road of the top players crossing paths, in a linear progression.

    My inspiration was actually The Brady Bunch.

    Am I the only one who gets a bit of enjoyment out of Rocky 5? Sure it's a TERRIBLE movie, but it's one of those so-bad it's good kind of flicks. The premise itself isn't all that bad, just the execution.

    I don't think it's terrible, but I am much more fond of Rocky 3 & 4. I'd rather Sly have just remade those films, with a new antagonist. I do understand what he was trying to do, and that he was looking for something different, and I still like the scene when Rocky jumps in to defend Paulie, "No why don't you try knocking me out", but I still think it's the weakest film in the franchise, even if you include Creed.

    I thought I would watch ten minutes and leave the office to watch the balance in the morning but I couldn't turn the darn thing off. Thanks Rummy. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very, very well done.

    Thanks heerko. Appreciate all the support!

    Thanks Ilesey!

    :lol:

    Thanks marting! I was hoping the fairly quick pace would help keep people interested, especially those familiar with the period who may have been able to anticipate a lot of what I was recapping.

    Thanks Kirk!!

    And thanks to everyone who took the time to watch. I know an hour is pretty long, and frankly, it's much longer than I ideally prefer to make these videos. But I'm glad I did for this one, as I think it works and it's my favorite period in heavyweight history.

    Appreciate the support!!

    My only thing that I am a bit critical of is the music. I felt it could be much better, it felt kind of repetitive, even though I did like the music. I just felt there wasn't enough variety.

    I was going to make mention of the pacing. The editing was very professional.
