I almost got in a fist fight with a guy at work over how 1 is the best Rocky and 4 is one of the worst.

Other funny shit, and the movie could have possible been WORSE in reality:
- Scenes with Mickey, played by Burgess Meredith, were trimmed in the final film when Rocky fights Tommy. Mickey appeared in ghost form on top of the railway bridge, giving words of encouragement. In the final film, this was made into flashbacks. The speech Mickey gives to Rocky in the flashback sequence is based on an interview with Cus D'Amato given in 1985, shortly after Mike Tyson's first professional bout.
- Jodi Letizia, who played street kid Marie in the original Rocky (1976), was supposed to reprise her role here. Her character was shown to have ended up as Rocky predicted she would: a whore, but the scene ended up on the cutting room floor. The character would eventually reappear in Rocky Balboa (2006), as a bartender and confidante to the aging Rocky. Actress Geraldine Hughes took over the role
- The golden glove necklace featured so prominently in this film was first seen in Rocky II(worn by Apollo Creed), then again throughout Rocky IV. As a promotional gimmick, replicas of the necklace were distributed to moviegoers at the Hollywood premiere of Rocky V at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
I bet they gagged and threw that shit away at the premiere. :lol
- According to Sylvester Stallone, pro wrestling legend Terry Funk helped choreograph much of the street fight between Rocky and Tommy Gunn. Sylvester Stallone originally intended for Rocky to die after defeating Tommy Gunn in their streetfight, however according to him, the director, and the studio they had second thoughts and eventually, Stallone rewrote the ending.
WTF? :lol
It's amazing how bad such a movie was conceived.

I Wiki vandaled the Rocky V page just for the hell of it:
"After the fight is done, Duke switches sides and walks up to Rocky to cheer him on with the rest of the crowd, angering Rocky. Duke states he'll sue him if he tries to fight, but after hesitating for a brief moment, Rocky punches Duke in the gut, knocking him onto the hood of a car, and tells him "sue me for what?" Rocky responds by saying, "sue me, for this horrible fucking movie.""
