Trivia
It took Sylvester Stallone and editors Danford B. Greene and Stanford C. Allen over eight months to edit the climatic fight scene so as to meet Stallone's approval.
Quotes
Adrian:
And if it's a boy, I'd like him to be just like the father.
Rocky Balboa:
Don't you think one dumbbell in the family's enough?
Goofs
When the priest is marrying Rocky and Adrian, he says Adrian's last name like "Pennino". But according to the name listings at the press conference in [Rocky Balboa] (based on what we see on Paulie's card), the name is actually Panina.
Crazy Credits
A memorial dedication to Jane Oliver appears following the conclusion of the credits.
Alternate Versions
Approx. 2 minutes of dialogue were removed from the German theatrical version. Only in 2009 the film was released uncut (with the missing scenes in English with German subtitles).
