Crikey.
I must confess, I've never seen any of the Rocky films.
After that, perhaps I should...

Rocky I and II are excellent - they look horribly dated now but still deliver emotionally. Yes, I did say 'emotionally' -they're strangely moving, if simple, fare. As for the others (II, IV, V, Rocky Balboa) the latter reached back towards the uncomplicated joy of the original but requires a huge suspension of disbelief. With a few momentary exceptions the rest are tosh, and not even good tosh neither.
I envy you. If you don't know much about the first two you're in for a treat.

Excellent cross-training examples in there, I'm sure we all agree.
Snippets of Rockey III too. Only one line in that film worthy of a mention...
I must break you.
