  Rocky IV

  £125.00

  “Rocky Balboa proudly holds the world heavyweight boxing championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago, a six-foot-six, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union.”

  Impressive, patriotic image of Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa clutching the American Stars & Stripes flag on this original British UK quad film poster from first year of release, 1985 for “Rocky IV”. At the peak of his success when this film was released Stallone was box-office gold; not always a favourite with the film critics but the fans (in their droves) loved the fun and spectacle of his movies. Originally rolled (as issued), this UK quad displays and presents to excellent effect with vibrant bright colour tones and deep black background. A very desirable item of cinematic movie memorabilia for one of biggest superstars of Hollywood.

  Trivia: Sylvester Stallone decided that for the shooting of the fight, he and Dolph Lundgren should hit one another for real, so as to increase the intensity of the scene. After doing three takes of Rocky taking shots to ribs, Stallone felt a burning in his chest, but ignored it. Later that night, he had difficulty breathing and was taken to a nearby emergency room. It was discovered that his blood pressure was over 200, and he had to be flown on a low-altitude flight from Canada to St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, where he remained in intensive care for four days.
