Those are the challenges.”
Stallone said one of the proudest moments of his career was completing the Rocky franchise with the 2006 sequel Rocky Balboa. “To be able to meet the challenge of completing that series after all these years, that was great. But this one here tops that — not in an emotional way but for excitement. This should have never happened. (Producer) Avi Lerner really took a big gamble on me with this when nobody else would. I know because I heard about it every day! He kept worrying about the reviews.”
