Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren in ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO Ultimate Director’s Cut Plays in St. Louis November 12th

“I must break you!”

Sylvester Stallone has made an ultimate director’s cut of Rocky IV, titled Rocky vs. Drago, that will hit theaters on Nov. 11 for an exclusive engagement via MGM and Fathom followed by the feature being available on-demand the next day. In St. Louis, it opens at Marcus Ronnies, Marcus O’Fallon, Regal Gravois Bluffs, Marcus St. Charles, and AMC Chesterfield. Go to those theater’s sites for showtimes. Here’s a trailer for the new director’s cut:

Stallone has added 40 minutes of never-before-seen footage to the 1985 feature made during the U.S. Cold War with the Soviet Union, the movie having the Italian Stallion traveling to the USSR to defend his title again against Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Stallone wrote, directed and starred in the film, which grossed over $300M WW back in the day.

When Rocky IV was released in 1985, the pic became the highest-grossing of all the Rocky films, as well as the highest-grossing sports drama in cinema for nearly a quarter-century. The pic also starred Brigitte Nielsen, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Michael Pataki, Robert Doornick, Talia Shire, Stu Nahan and Tony Burton. Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff produced the feature, with Arthur Chobanian and James D. Brubaker serving as EPs.
