Stupidity: There is no way a fighter with a brain would risk serious injury to themselves before a fight by continually punching a frozen rack of meat in a freezer slaughterhouse. There is nothing to gain by doing this, and it would only result in both fists being broken.
Suggested correction: In fact, Sylvester Stallone permanently damaged his knuckles filming the two scenes. He obviously did not realise how dangerous punching a side of beef would be, and it isn't out of the question that the character Rocky Balboa wouldn't realise this either.
It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to know that if you punch or hit anything with a bare fist against anything solid, rock hard, you will damage yourself badly.
Absolutely, it shouldn't, but that is not what the "Stupidity" category is for. It is unintelligent for someone to do this, but that is not a movie mistake. Sylvester Stallone really did punch that beef and really did injure himself, so it is not something that is out of the question for a character in a movie to do.
No, but it is out of the question for a man with painfully damaged knuckles to go fifteen rounds with a world heavyweight champion boxer. In fact, Rocky would probably have failed the compulsory pre-fight physical and would have been ruled unfit to fight.
Where in the movie is Rocky experiencing "painfully damaged knuckles"? With your logic, the fight would have most likely been called long before the 15th round, due to the very unrealistic and improbable punishment the 2 boxers were inflicting on each other.
Stupidity: In the first game of the season, Pete makes a tackle on a receiver and causes him to fumble. The play results in a scoop and score, only the Titans player who recovers the ball runs the wrong way.
Stupidity: Considering Rocky keeps hitting Drago after the bell sounds to end the round in their main event fight shouldn't he be disqualified?
Suggested correction: This is up to the discretion of the ref. If he deems the strikes to not be particularly egregious he can let the fight continue. Even if they are deemed illegal strikes, that doesn't mean that Rocky will be automatically disqualified. The ref can dock a point from Rocky instead, which he very well might have done at some point which we never see. Since Rocky wins by knockout having a point docked doesn't matter.
Stupidity: Lyla does not like the idea of Mickey fighting and initially does not want him to agree to the fight. Lyla eventually tells him "okay", but he must stop when she tells him to stop. This may give her a reason to go to Dubai, UAE with him, but she is about 8 months pregnant. An international flight has some risks plus she would be far away from her OB-GYN doctor if there were a complication. She should have had enough sense to avoid international flights/traveling so close to her due date.
Stupidity: Amongst the dubious statistics attributed to the real Frank Dux at the end of the film is the claim that he holds the record for "Most Consecutive Knockouts in a Single Tournament - 56." A single tournament with at least 56 rounds would include over 72,000,000,000,000,000 entrants.
Suggested correction: While the entire film could be considered fiction based on Dux's dubious claims, your statement is only valid for a single-elimination style tournament. There are other types of tournaments, such as a round robin which would only require 57 contestant (Dux plus at least 56 guys to knock out).
The kumite is a single elimination tournament. It wouldn't make any sense to have a full-contact tournament, where the action is so (legally) violent that fights routinely end in severe injury or even death, use any other form of bracket.
Nothing is stated that every tournament Dux was in was the Kumite as depicted in the film. Just that he retired undefeated in the Kumite.
The records listed at the end of the film are kumite records. The information comes from Frank Dux himself who made the claims on more than one occasion. When it says 56 consecutive knockouts, it is referring to the kumite and not some other, possibly round robin (which honestly would still be a ridiculous claim) tournament. It is likely the makers of the film believed "consecutive knockouts" meant "single tournament."
I guess everything I've read on him over the decades never made it clear it was talking about one type of tournament with all the accomplishments he's claimed to have. And I've read the same repeated factoid about how many contestants 56 rounds would have that you read.
Stupidity: There is no way Mr. Mertyle did not hear the fence in his backyard crash to the ground; there's also a likely chance he could hear his dog crying and Smalls saying the dog is hurt. Even if he could ignore the sounds of other attempts to try to get the ball back; with the fence coming down where his dog lives and the chances of an injured pet it seems far too unlikely he wouldn't have rushed straight to the backyard hearing this.
Stupidity: This film portrays Michael Jordan and his family living in a relatively modest house in the suburbs. Jordan was one of the most famous people on the entire planet around the time the film takes place. Living in such an area would lead to a never-ending onslaught of overzealous fans, paparazzi, and even detractors.
