If you loved Rocky, try Rocky V

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John G. Avildsen, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rocky, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Rocky V is

Philadelphia streets, winter, a punching bag hangs still. A faded champion trains a young fighter, a new spark in a worn gym. This lesser-known chapter of the Rocky saga is best watched after the original trilogy.
