    Unless I'm mistaken, Rocky V didn't have one ... but Rocky IV really had two of them, so hey -- it evens out.

    I've never seen a Rocky film, so which one do you suggest I vote on? I'm leaning toward 2 or 4-(part 1) though.

    I voted for the Rocky I. Has the classic Rocky theme and all those landmark Philly sites.

    Although I would have voted for Rocky IV (montage 2) if not for the cheesy outdated 80's casio keyboard score. I mean I love the irony of Rocky training like a true collar Bolshevik and Drago going all fancy capitalist. Marx and Lenin would bet a day's wage on Rocky I believe.

    ...is it me or is there something subversively homoerotic about Rocky III montage? Still my all time favorite Rocky.

    Damn II, III, and IV are pretty close

    I went with II because you can tell he's getting some intense workouts. Plus gotta be in pretty good shape to do that many one handed pull ups and push ups.

    Rocky III should be disqualified considering he looks more like a middle weight. He is so much smaller. Sly got lazy.

    I'd give it to IV if it weren't for two things:

    1) The complete absence of that classic "I'm about to f*ck somebody up" Rocky theme song.

    and

    2) The fact that Drago runs like a girl.

    Rocky Balboa. I can't even do that stuff now. Imagine doing it at 84 years old. :)

    Ditto.

    It's not even close. Rocky 4 Part I training montage is the greatest montage in the history of Western Civilization, Eastern Civilization, Southern Civilization, and Northern Civilization...basically it's the greatest one in the history of mankind.

    I used to work out to that stuff, absolutely NOTHING could've worked better, not even steroids/energy bars/triple espresso shots.

    Definitely III. Apollo changed him from a brawler into a boxer. Plus, you got Carl Weathers, 'nuff said.

    I is the classic, but i have to go w/ III. that was rocky at the top of his game. all the stuff w/ apollo is kind of gay, but in a good way. who doesnt like to see two dudes embracing in the ocean and extreme closeups of their thighs?

    IV had the weakest most un-rocky theme song(s), imo. they should have gotten kenny loggins.

    i just watched VI last week - great movie! the music in VI was classic montage.

    Come on. It's when Apollo joined forces with Rocky. It also had a funny ending.
