Goofs
55 seconds into the first round, Rocky scores a knockdown and Apollo doesn't rise to his feet anywhere near the count of 10. If you count it out, it's more like 15-18, depending on how fast you count. Rocky wins in the first round.
Crazy Credits
Actor Arnold Johnson is credited ('featuring') in opening credits but not in the closing credits.
Alternate Versions
