The age old rivalry USA vs Russia or Soviets at this point. Apollo Creed takes on an exhibition fight against Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) a roided up super fighter. Apollo spent alot of time showboating till he gets caught and killed by flush blows to the head from Drago. Rocky realising he did his friend wrong by not throwing in the towel takes on a fight that was unsanctioned in Russia in the honour and revenge of his fallen friend, trains in Russia and then goes into a hard hitting fight. As much as I enjoyed the film I feel the death of Apollo could have gotten more story considering hes a pivotal character in the series and another having an extra half hour of story would have fleshed things out. However it was a fun film despite its potential to be great
