Rocky III is a kind of report to the fans on Stallone's recent life. The film's dramatic motor is the struggle from the softness of success back to the mental toughness of a champ. If Stallone is a man of steel, he is scarcely a man of irony, and he handles Rocky III as he has handled all of his writing and directing efforts, with heart-in-the-right-place primitivism.

Finally, Rambaldi made an aluminum and steel skeleton and then laboriously built up a musculature of fiberglass, polyurethane and foam rubber, layer upon layer. Each layer represents a muscle responsible for a body movement or facial expression, and each is connected to a mechanical control or electronic servomechanism. At his most complicated, with Rambaldi...
