I haven't watched rocky... i've been postponing it for YEARS!! Ok, thats it, after finishing the list of comments i have for the day i will watch it... or maybe watch lincoln since it's been in my list too... damn, i have way to many movies to see and not enough time!
That quote is awesome BTW!
From what i've read and remember Silvester Stallone was the one who wrote the screenplay after watching a boxing fight, it was inspired by a real-life boxer. Silvester was actually homeless when he wrote the screenplay, he even had to sell his dog to get money, after a couple of years he went back and bought his dog again!!
