This week, *The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel* is stepping into the ring for one of the most iconic sequels of the 1980s — **Rocky III**! Rocky is at the top of the world, but success has made him…
yeah well okay so to answer your question um you know i think as a kid this is a this is a great movie as a kid right if you if you look at rocky two you know very rocky one and two very drama i mean it's a darker look to it you know it's it's like they're great movies

movies, but I mean, like, you know, you had the older look, you know, I think there were 70s, early 80s, whatever.
So this movie is like a completely different type of Rocky movie compared to the first two.
Oh, yeah.
They really had to do the sequel thing.
They couldn't...
If they would have done another drama-driven movie, it was not possible.
They needed to have a heightened character because Apollo was so great.

I think, first of all, I think this movie is totally 80s, right? Like, the whole vibe of the movie is 80s.
