Rocky Balboa is one of the most recognisable names in cinema. It started as a Sylvester Stallone passion project and not even he knew of the effect it would have on pop culture for years to come.
The first Rocky won the Best Picture Oscar in 1976 against some stiff opposition. The fact that the franchise is still going today shows just how good a character of Rocko is.
The last 3 movies in the franchise, Rocky Balboa, Creed and Creed 2 have introduced a whole new generation the the wonderment of Rocky.
