Well a friend challenged me to watch this ridiculous film that has a cold war twist that is so overdone it was hard to take seriously in any way shape of form. Having seen it when he was much younger he always remembered what a good film it was, until he viewed again outside of the 80s and now as an adult.
It is forces of good versus evil stuff, but so unsubtle. Also the fight scenes are like with any Rocky, he manages to take more punishment in an entire fight that any other boxer would see in an entire career.
Reading about it on IMDB, Stallone's authenticity did improve for me where some of the scenes were real boxing and he was almost fatally injured in one of the shoots. Still not the sort of film you want to die making.
A lowly 3/10 now we are outside of the 1980s.
