So in case you didn't know, Stallone decided to revisit Rocky IV and make a directors version. New scenes added and some deleted to try to give the film more meaning. I'm not sure what my expectations were, but wow he succeeded.

I've never liked watching the Apollo fight. I thought his death was a cheap story telling device and based on interviews, I think Stallone agreed. This movie was different. Now Apollo's death is a Greek tragedy. The extra scenes he added with his wife were gut wrenching and the guilt Rocky carries with him for not stopping the fight has more weight.

And in 4K…OMG yes please go back and remaster the others. The 4K scenes looked beautiful. I'm not sure this version replaces the original in my mind, but it's nice to have a fresh take on it.

Where is this available?

It's on Amazon prime now.

I feel like I could beat drago if you put that instrumental version of eye of the tiger on for me.

Maybe, but you'd never beat Dolph in his more recent movies

The 30 for 30 on Rocky 4 is the best one they made.

30 for 30 Rocky 4

I always understood Apollo's death as greek hubris. I guess Stallone wants it spelled out.

And then he smells crime again, he's out busting heads. Then he's back to the lab for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the lab, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.
