Can you believe it? This would be the sixth, would it? Try as I will I cannot remember what the 4rth and 5th Rocky movies were about. I know one of them was about some Russian boxer, but I can't remember which, and I remember the other one not at all. So maybe I'm wrong and there were only 4 of them?

Sheesh.

In the next episode he will return from retirement to box the new World Champion...a black guy named...get this....

"Mason Dixon"

Heh!

Some hot questions here:

1. Will Rocky win the fight?
2. Will he nearly lose, but win in the last few seconds?
3. Will he get his nose busted this time?
4. Will he sweat a whole lot?
5. Will Mason Dixon try to bite off his ears?
6. Will Rocky get to yell "AYYYYYY-DRIENNNNNNNNNNNE!!!!" at the end of the fight?
7. Will there be a sequel?

RockyVII...presented by AARP.

If he is knocked down, will he need "Life Alert" to call for help?

Will Medicare cover oxygen backpacks?

Will anyone spend $$$$ to SEE this?

Or was that Bullwinkle? You know, with Boris and Natasha. What's Stallone have to do with it?

Bullwinkle: "Gosh, Rock! That little guy looks sorta familiar to me...I think he was the ice cream vendor at the football game we went to last fall."

Rocky: "Hokey smoke! What are you gonna do, Bullwinkle?"

Bullwinkle: "I'm gonna buy another ice cream!"

Natasha: "Look, Boris. Is moose and squirrel! What do we do now?"

Boris: "Is simple, Darlink! I sell him this exploding vanilla double-dip ice cream cone. Here comes idiot moose now. Heh! Heh!"

Yeah... the moose was a lot better. And he could whoop the snot outta Stallone and the whole works of 'em... with one antler tied behind his back.

I always had a thing for Natasha. Mysterious and alluring. And you just knew Boris wasn't getting any. Of course, at eight years old, I knew I didn't stand a chance. I figured she fancied taking a ride upon the flying squirrel.

Shatner would be perfect for this movie. I see him either as the Ref or as a sleazy boxing promoter. Or a sleazy press tycoon who is cashing in on the fight publicity. Or a sleazy lawyer. He's so versatile...

Not THAT versatile, otherwise he'd a bin a sleazy ref, too.

Hey. If the antagonist is going to be named Mason Dixon, what's the odds he gets called "The Mason Dixon Lion" at some point in the movie?

Also, what are the chances he taunts Rocky by saying he's "over the hill" and "all washed up"?

Why will he be washing up over the hill, LH?

Will he stand around slapping youngsters with his pension book and demanding they get a job/haircut/bath/bit of respect or poke them with his cane and bore them rigid with tales from the other 39 Rocky films?

Oh, shit. I've seen the ads for "Rocky Balboa" (Rocky VI) and the little fat jerk Paulie IS back...of course! Yep, it's Rocky against Mason "the Line" Dixon in another spectacular underdog blockbuster. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Dixon is (much) younger, stronger, faster, meaner....how is Rocky going to take him on? How? Can Rocky possibly rise to the challenge? Have we asked these questions before? Whaddya think, Paulie? Ya think I can still be a contendah? Adrienee? Adrienne????   

AYYYYYYYYY-DRIENNNNNNNNNEEE!!!!!

Pursuant to Little Hawk's comment, a small and half-witted parody of Over the Hills and Far Away seems fitting:

Over the Hill and All Washed Up

For the sake of pride and prospering
Rocky plans a comeback in the ring
He's forgot that "he who runs away
Lives on to fight another day."

CHORUS: O'er the Hill and All Washed Up,
Please to throw a penny in the cup
For the angel band is tuning up
"Over the Hill and All Washed Up."

He will fight the Mason-Dixon Lion
Our disbelief and his age defyin'
His wits he must have thown away
If he's going back into the fray.

(chorus)

So I'm taking up a collec-ti-on
To subvert natu-ral selec-ti-on
Please pitch your coppers in to save
This has-been from an earthen grave.

(chorus)

If I can but raise a paltry sum
We'll avoid an obvious and sad outcome,
And a bonus we'll accrue, what's more:
One less bad film and tedious score.

(chorus)

But if he should fight in the ring once more,
He may fall as others have before --
Then the angel band may indeed strike up,
"Over the hills and All Washed Up."

LAST CHORUS: O'er the Hill and All Washed Up,
And as the daisies he pushes up
Hear the movie-goers in cheers erupt:
"He's Over the Hill and All Washed Up."

They could really give moviegoers a shock by having Rocky die 3/4 of an hour into the movie...from a heart attack while training! And have no big fight at all. Whoo-eee! Wouldn't that just go down great with action movie fans? ;-)
