The third installment in the Rocky saga is the last one to matter, and in this case only marginally. The now rich and famous Rocky triumphantly pummels a succession of boxing challengers until he encounters Clubber Lang a human wall of brick who wants a piece of Rocky's action. The Rock's loyal trainer Mickey has taken ill and dies, so Rocky recruits retired opponent Apollo Creed to whip him into fighting shape after his embarrassing defeat to Clubber. Time for another rematch, mixed in with some family matters involving Rocky's brother-in-law Paulie, who's feeling neglected amid all the hoopla. Not bad as sequels go, boosted by Mr. T.'s taunting presence and yet another rousing finale.
