Rumours hit the internet that Sylvester Stallone is working on another Rocky, the 7th installment to continue from where it left off from, “Rocky Balboa”.
Of course, the public is shitting on it, accusing Sly that he’s too old to do another Rocky, the public don’t want another one, blah blah blah.
The rumours probably isn’t true, but if it is. Why not? The more Rocky, the better. “Rocky Balboa” was a really good movie, but it could have been made much better.
What plot would Sly have for “Rocky 7”? Would Sly train another boxer? No, that would be a repeat of Rocky V, since Rocky was a retired boxer training another fighter, that Tommy Gunn guy.
What if Rocky’s son, Robert Balboa Jr. dreams of becoming a boxer and Rocky tries to get his son a boxing career? Sounds like a good enough plot to me.
There are many ideas that could make another Rocky movie work and that people would like. Remember, back when Sly announced he was doing Rocky 6, everybody hated that idea too, but when the movie actually came out and it became, “Rocky Balboa”, Sly is all of a sudden respected by movie fans.
So don’t immediately assume that, “Rocky 7” would suck if Sly really did decide to work on it. This is called creative writing. Sly is always coming up with ideas.
If Sly is still doing action movies doing his own stunts in the “Expendables” and he will probably do his own stunts in “Rambo 5”, I don’t see why he can’t be physical for another Rocky. Why not?
I’d say do another one. I’m sure Sly will speak out on this soon, to say whether this news is true or not. Probably not, but it would be cool.
