They did the best job they could to keep the look of the fight as real as possible. So when you watch that match at the end, just know that what you are seeing is not exactly choreography and trick camera work. When filming the boxing match, some of the scenes were so real that Stallone was rushed to hospital because his heart was actually pushed up and his ribcage was slightly shattered. And if you think Robert De Niro is an impressive method actor, try this fact on for size. Stallone felt that it needed some authenticity so that was the way to do it.

I love that it has the heart of a lion when it shows Rocky scaling a mountain that you know damn well he shouldn't be able to. I love that Rocky IV has some of the best training montages ever filmed.

Bill Klein and Jen Arnold are just like your average couple – except they're both under 4 feet tall! They've faced not only the struggles of two little people in an.
