Right at the start of Round 2 just before Apollo is about to come out of his corner, his manager yells "Stick and move, stick and move", but it is plain as daylight his lips don't match what he is saying. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry 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.]

Entry 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.]
Corrected by Scrappy Time
Entry In the scene where Rocky is running around Philadelphia, the last time he runs before the big re-match with Apollo, he covers the following territory: Broadstreet, the Italian Market, Fairmount Park, The Art Museum, etc. Including all of those locales, the total distance is over 26 miles. A MARATHON for a training run - quite impressive - and unusual. Clearly done just to show off the great city of Philadelphia. [Rocky Never ran on Broad Street in Rocky II and that was NOT Fairmount Park. It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in South Philadelphia, known to the locals as "The Lakes."]
Time
Entry Rocky decides to sell his car in search of money, he makes the arrangement with Paulie, walks out, but none of the two has mentioned anything about the price of the purchase. [Neither Rocky nor Paulie mentions anything about the price of the purchase because Rocky tells Paulie if he wants to "pick up the payments". Paulie agrees to do so, therefore there is no need for Rocky to actually "sell" Paulie the car.]
Time
Entry In the final fight scene, Rocky and Apollo both fall onto the canvas on their fronts. When the camera angle changes, Rocky is on his back. [In the last fight scene when Rocky knocks out Apollo he falls on his side and looks to be rolling over to his back.]
Time
Entry It's pretty obvious at the end, when they both fall, that Stallone falls on purpose. Watch the DVD in slo-mo and you'll see that Apollo never hits him, Rocky just falls back to canvas. [It wasn't intended for Apollo to hit Rocky. Rocky was so tired and beaten up that he throws one final punch to Apollo and then fell down because he can't control his body anymore.]
Time
Entry In the scene right after the first time Rocky tries to catch the chicken (to build speed), we see Rocky punching a bag with his left hand, and his right arm is tied to his side. If Mickey is trying to train him to become a right-handed fighter, why would he be having him jab with his left hand "till it hurts"? Shouldn't he be trying to build strength in his right arm? [Because right-handed fighters jab with the left to set up bigger punches from their right.]
Time
Entry In the beginning in his hospital bed, Rocky is seen giving his autograph to a nurse. He signs the autograph with his right hand. If he is a left-handed fighter, a "Southpaw" then why wouldn't he sign it left-handed? [Some people use their left hand more than their right hand and still write with their right hand.]
Time
Entry Rocky sold his car in a need for money stating he's having problems parking it. Towards the end of the movie, just as he's running out of the house to practice for the final fight of the movie, the car is parked outside. [Rocky gave his car to Paulie, who came over to the house that night to watch the fight - that's why the car was there.]
