Other mistake: As Rocky leaves his dressing room to go to the ring before the first fight with Lang, Lang appears from upstairs behind Rocky and there is a scuffle in the corridor. This means that Rocky would have arrived at the ring first had Lang not confronted him in the corridor. As defending champion, Rocky would have arrived in the ring after Lang. The champion always enters the ring second.
Other mistake: At the beginning of the scene when Rocky's statue is unveiled and Clubber Lang challenges Rocky to a fight, the camera zooms out of one of the drums that is being played and it is easy to spot that Mr. T's signature is scrawled right across the centre of the drum.
Other mistake: In one fight scene, the word "Clubber" that is written on Mr. T's shorts is reversed. It is a flipped shot.





Answer: Unlikely. Lang shoved him in the heat of the moment, and there's no indication he meant to kill or injure him.
