Corrected entry: In the scene just before they reveal the statue of Rocky and they are in the Balboa house, Paulie says to Adrian, "Oh, Mrs. Talia, you almost look pretty good". That's actress Talia Shire's real first name.
Rocky III (1982)
1 commented-on entry since 20 Nov '25, 07:02
Directed by: Sylvester Stallone
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Hulk Hogan
Visible crew/equipment: Just before the second fight with Clubber and just after the pre-fight brawl, when the camera switches to the shot of Rocky and Apollo you can see a director's chair at the top left of the screen with "Mr. T" written on it. (01:22:50)
Apollo Creed: Now, when you beat me, you beat me by one... ONE... second. Now do you know what something like that does to a man of my intelligence?
Rocky Balboa: I thought you said you got over it.
Apollo Creed: I lied.
Trivia: Before Mr. T was cast, heavyweight boxer Earnie Shavers was considered for the role of Clubber Lang. This was because Sylvester Stallone thought that he was good enough to fight a real boxer instead of an actor. But during a practice fight Shavers, taking it easy on the star, broke two of Stallone's ribs in less than three rounds, and was immediately dropped from consideration.
Question: Right at the end of the movie Rocky and Apollo have their behind closed doors deciding fight. They are supposedly alone. How did they tie their own gloves on? You try tying a boxing glove on with one free hand.
Answer: Nobody says no-one was at the dressing lockers to help them out.
Correction: Paulie says, "Mrs Stallion", as in Rocky's nickname 'The Italian Stallion' (timecode 00:24:10).
Paulie does say 'miss Talia' in Rocky III. My hearing isn't that bad.
I can hear the "-yen" sound at the end when he says he name, suggesting he does in fact say "stallion." There's also a slight 's sound at the beginning.

He says "Mrs Stallion," as the transcript confirms http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/r/rocky-3-script-transcript-iii.html.
