Trivia
As of 2015 and due to this film, Sylvester Stallone remains (alongside Charles Chaplin) the only other person in film history to have been the sole writer of an original screenplay, to have starred in the leading role for the same film and to have been nominated for Oscars for both.
Quotes
Club fight attendee:
Come on, Spider!
Goofs
When Adrian and Rocky leave for their date, there is a rose bush in front of the house that has two fresh roses on it and some flowers on the ground in bloom. Since it is late November in Philadelphia and it is obviously cold, this wouldn't be possible.
Crazy Credits
Butkus the dog is credited as "Butkus Stallone".
Alternate Versions
A different ending was originally filmed for this movie. In the original ending, Rocky walked out of the ring and met Adrian in the tunnel to the stadium. They walked down the tunnel, hand in hand, and the last shot was from behind of Rocky and Adrian walking down the tunnel. Test audiences said the end was too depressing and it was reshot with Adrian's now classic run to the ring while Rocky screams her name.
