Some of the scenes during the fight with Drago were real. During the filming Dolph Lundgren (Drago) broke three of Sylvester Stallone's ribs while shooting the final fight scene.
The Russian landscape that is the setting for both Rocky and Drago's training was actually shot in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
