About this listen
This week, we review Rocky IV (1985), Sylvester Stallone’s Cold War-era sports drama and the most gloriously over-the-top entry in the Rocky franchise. Stallone returns as the iconic underdog Rocky Balboa, who steps into the ring against Ivan Drago, a seemingly unstoppable Soviet powerhouse played by Dolph Lundgren.
Fueled by vengeance, patriotism, and a synth-heavy soundtrack, this film pits East vs. West in a boxing match that’s less about sport and more about global stakes. With a training montage for the ages and a robot butler to boot, Rocky IV punches hard on themes of grief, redemption, and international rivalry.
Is it about throwing hands or throwing in the towel on diplomacy? Listen on to find out!
Movie 14530 on Metacritic’s all time movie list.
