Rocky V

Penultimate Balboa sequel

Rocky V is the fifth installment in the Rocky film franchise, released in 1990.

The movie returns Rocky Balboa to his Philadelphia roots after brain damage forces his retirement from boxing and bad investments leave him broke.

Generally considered the weakest entry in the series, it was poorly received by critics and audiences: They pretend Rocky V never happened.
