Directed by: Sylvester Stallone

Audio problem: Pay close attention to the scene in Round 2 where Apollo says, "Okay, get your cameras ready.he's goin' down.". If you look at Apollo's mouth, even though he is wearing a mouth-guard you can tell his lips don't match him saying that.
Audio problem: 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.
Continuity mistake: When Apollo Creed is approaching the ring for the rematch at the end of the film, his robe starts off done-up, next shot shows it undone and the towel around his neck loose, and then in the last shot it's back to being neat again with the robe done up. Even when he enters the ring it's all neat and tidy. (01:32:40)
Employment Manager: Can I be honest? No one's going to offer you an office job. There's too much competition. Why don't you fight? I read somewhere you're a very good fighter.
Rocky Balboa: Yeah, well, was ya ever punched in the face 500 times a night? It stings after a while, ya know.
Trivia: An estimated 800 children from a local school were used as extras for the scene in which Rocky runs through Philadelphia.

Answer: With all the damage Apollo did to Rocky, Rocky still wasn't knocked out. In the film series, Rocky is depicted as having an almost superhuman ability to absorb punches. Rocky also caused internal bleeding in Apollo. Tony knew that Rocky was far more dangerous than anyone realized.
