In the scene where Rocky is proposing to Adrian at the zoo, there are clumps of snow on his right shoulder. When he leans in towards Adrian to pull back her earmuff, the snow is gone. When he goes to kiss her, the snow reappears. When they walk out arm in arm, the snow disappears again. See more...

Trivia

During preparation the film, Sylvester Stallone was doing bench-pressing when the weight fell and tore his right pectoral muscle. The incident happened before the fight scene was to be filmed and the scene was shot with Stallone still suffering from his injury. See more...

Rocky was looking for work, and worked for a time at a meat packing company. I was a financial controller for a meat packing company. Nobody on the floor worked without wire mesh gloves (because knifes were so sharp), yet in the movie no one wore gloves. [Personal Protective Equipment is required to be supplied by a company. However, some employees still do not use them. Where I work, at a coal mine, we have all PPE including eye protection, spikes for your boots for walking on ice, and dust masks(and more). Yet those three items are commonly the least to be used in everyday work.]

During the "Gonna Fly Now"-walk with the kids near the end-fight, the kid running behind Rocky is getting instructions on when to speed up his run. You see him take a quick peek to the left and then speed up. He is obviously being waved at or something. [He is a child; it is very easy to capture his attention. Maybe he saw something he was running past that needed a closer look or maybe he thought he heard someone call his name. Either way, you can't categorically say that there is no reason for him to turn his head other than to get instructions.]

At the end of the climactic fight scene, Rocky throws a punch, knocking down Apollo, which throws him (Rocky) off balance. Both fighters fall to the canvas. For some reason, this is treated as though both men were knocked down. Actually, it should be ruled a slip for Rocky, as Apollo did not actually knock him down with a punch. [Although it technically should have been ruled a slip for Rocky, it is the referee's decision to count it as a fall. This is not a movie mistake, but a character mistake.]
