Advantages: Cheap, Great Entertainment Disadvantages: Not HD, No Rocky 6 Included
contain all 6 Rocky films. As HD has started to sweep up the market I do not recommend people waste buying this box set if they want to experience the best entertainment. But currently the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc's have not been released as a box set yet. But Rocky I and Rocky VI are currently avaliable to purchase on Blu-Ray.
My favourite episode was Rocky 4 where he faught Ivan Drago, I loved the sound track on it when he was training. My favourite sound track is Eye of the Tiger though, I first heard it in Rocky 3 where he faught Clubber Lang.

ROCKY!!!!! What a great set of films.. i've watched everyone of these five, (and the 6th, Rocky Balboa), and I do have my favourite.
The first film was good, Rocky (1976) showing how a south paw (left handed) boxer from Philadelphia, was picked to go up against the Champ, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
This fight is supposed to be an easy exhibition fight for the champ, Apollo, but Rocky is hungry for the fight and the Champ barely wins causing the crowd to show their love for the new fighter, the Italian Stallion, ROCKY BALBOA.
The end of the first fight, with the hugging of two tired fighters, you hear the fighters stating that they 'don't want no rematch'.
Rocky 2 (1979)was the infamous rematch, were Apollo Creed, embarrassed by the bad publicity from what should have been an easy fight, is forced to fight rocky one more time ...
