Watch Rocky (1976) Online

Rocky is a 1976 film written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen. It tells the rags-to-riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but good-hearted debt collector for a loan shark in Philadelphia. Balboa is also a club fighter who gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship when the scheduled contender breaks his hand. Also starring in Rocky are Talia Shire as Adrian, Burt Young as Adrian's brother Paulie, Burgess Meredith as Rocky's trainer Mickey Goldmill, and Carl Weathers as the champion, Apollo Creed.

The film, made for only $1.1 million,[1] and shot relatively fast in 28 days, was a sleeper hit; it made over US$117.2 million,[2] and won three Oscars, including Best Picture. The film was reviewed very well and launched Stallone's career into the stratosphere.[3] It spawned five sequels: Rocky II, III, IV, V, and Rocky Balboa. In spite of the film's popularity, the film's corniness has caused a critical backlash upon its acclaim. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky)
