Trivia: During preparation the film, Sylvester Stallone was doing bench-pressing when the weight fell and tore his right pectoral muscle. The incident happened before the fight scene was to be filmed and the scene was shot with Stallone still suffering from his injury.

Trivia: During the run when Rocky runs up the steps, when the kids run around the roundabout the kid in the second row trips and knocks a load of other kids.
Trivia: Boxer Chuck Wepner, the partial inspiration for Rocky, was going to have a small part in the film in the boxing gym but he declined cause his audition went too wrong. By his own admission he went on a drink and drug booze binge before driving overnight to the audition. He later said "I should have taken more time, should have studied the script. Stallone did everything he was supposed do, and if I would have done better, maybe I would have gotten the part."
Answer: The exact date of the rematch between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed is never mentioned, however it is known to have taken place in November of 1976. Rocky, Jr. was born on November 5, 1976. It is not clear how long Adrian was in a coma after Rocky, Jr.'s birth but it can be assumed to be at the very least several hours. It could be as long as a few days. It's long enough that several people tell Rocky he should go home and get rest but he refuses. So at the most, Rocky only has about 3 weeks to seriously train for the fight assuming the fight is held at the very end of November. If the fight is closer to the beginning of November, it could be as little as a few days.
