Rocky IV Parent guide

BBFC Reason

moderate violence, bloody images ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO (DIRECTOR'S CUT) is a sports drama in which an American boxer competes against a Russian opponent.

BBFC Ratings info

Violence: There are prolonged boxing scenes, which include repeated blows to the head and body. There is some injury detail and blood in the aftermath of violence. Injury detail: There are brief blood spurts after boxers are punched in the face. It is implied a boxer is given a performance enhancing drug while training. A boxer dies as a result of injuries sustained in a fight, and this is followed by a funeral scene. There is also brief emphasis on a female dancer wearing a revealing costume, and very mild bad language ('butt', 'hell', 'damn', 'God').

Sex & Nudity

mild

Sex & Nudity Reason

In a dancing scene we see woman dressed in skimpy clothing used in a dance routine. We see a brief up-close shot of a woman's buttocks, (easy to miss). During a dance routine we see rocky and drago with no shirts.

Violence & Gore

moderate

Violence & Gore Reason

Each boxing match, there is always bruises, little blood and sweat throughout. Not much. In the first major boxing fight of the film, a powerful Soviet boxer, Ivan Drago, faces Apollo Creed. During the first round, Apollo hits Drago with a few punches, but he feels no pain. Then, Drago proceeds to land brutal devastating punches to Apollo, even after the bell. We see blood and cuts of Apollo's face at the end of the round. In the next round, like the end of the previous round, Drago relentlessly keeps hitting Creed with brutal punches and hits one final punch to Creed which not only knocks him out, but kills him. Creed then dies in Rocky's arms after the match. The bloodied face of Apollo is see quite a lot throughout the scene. In the climax of the film, and the most major boxing fight of the film, Rocky faces Ivan himself. Throughout the rounds we see clips of punches to the face, the two brutally beat each other and Rocky is seen having a few bruises on is face and Ivan has a cut on his. On the final round Rocky keeps hitting Ivan relentlessly and knocks him out.

Profanity

mild

Profanity Reason

Mild language but definitely nothing too offensive.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

mild

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking Reason

Paulie smokes a few cigars. A close-up of brief steroid use.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

Frightening & Intense Scenes Reason

Rated PG for boxing violence, language, and for some thematic elements. Apollo Creed is knocked out and beaten to death during the 2nd round against Ivan Drago, and dies in Rocky's arms, this may be upsetting. The boxing matches are very brutal which may be unsettling. The film has a very loose theme about conflict between between the Americans and the Soviets because the film is set during the peaks of the Cold War and the crowds at both fights are very hostile and this may unsettle some.

Customer reviews

Rocky

When world heavyweight boxing champion, Apollo Creed wants to give an unknown fighter a shot at the title as a publicity stunt, his handlers choose palooka Rocky Balboa, an uneducated collector for a Philadelphia loan shark. Rocky teams up with trainer Mickey Goldmill to make the most of this once in a lifetime break.

Rocky II

After Rocky goes the distance with champ Apollo Creed, both try to put the fight behind them and move on. Rocky settles down with Adrian but can't put his life together outside the ring, while Creed seeks a rematch to restore his reputation. Soon enough, the "Master of Disaster" and the "Italian Stallion" are set on a collision course for a climactic battle that is brutal and unforgettable.

Rocky III

Now the world champion, Rocky Balboa is living in luxury and only fighting opponents who pose no threat to him in the ring, until Clubber Lang challenges him to a bout. After taking a pounding from Lang, the humbled champ turns to former bitter rival Apollo Creed for a rematch with Lang.
