Spotted this in M/cr, seems a good price for the first (best) film.
Sylvester Stallone's rags-to-riches boxing drama won the Oscar for Best Film of 1976. Club fighter Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has hit rock bottom. Having turned thirty, his boxing career is virtually over and he now makes a living collecting payments for a loan shark. Things start to look up when he begins dating Adrian (Talia Shire), sister of his friend Paulie (Burt Young). However, when world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) decides to take on a 'nobody' in his title fight, Rocky finds himself chosen. Encouraged by his coach, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), he begins training for the big fight - much to Adrian's disapproval.

Great find! Unfortunately I won't be near a Fopp anytime soon, but if I am near one I'd definitely get that. I've never seen a Rocky film in full and figured I'd at least get the first one, and want the remastered edition so would be perfect...dammit, why can't HMV match the same offers/prices?

Wish they would've put the Rocky franchise to rest than releasing yet another movie albeit it's about Apollo's son but literally a remake of Rocky I.
