Goofs:
Factual errors: During the first fight with Clubber while Mickey is lying on the table in the locker room, the doctor is overheard to say "his blood pressure is 200 over 50 we'd better start CPR." In actuality, the heart must be beating for there to be a blood pressure and CPR is only initiated when the heart and or respirations cease. more

A great flick !, 1 April 2001

Another film worthy of a Frank Stallone sound track, Rocky 3 has been one of the biggest box office turn outs in history. Not only did every Italian American run out to see this film when it was in the theaters but it made the song "Eye of the Tiger" a national hit. Rocky 3 was also a debut film for MR. T. An excellent performance as one of the best villains in movie history. This one is not only written by Sly....it is also directed by him as well. Check it out.
