ROCKY IV (United Artists) Surprisingly—especially for those who deride Sly Stallone�s generally entertaining films— Rocky IV is exceptionally good, easily the best of the series since the original. The pre-fight hooplah of the Apollo Creed/Ivan Drago bout (featuring no less than James Brown) is essentially too accurate a presentation of the Vegas fight scene to be satire.
