The INSANE Story Behind Stallone’s Real Fight in Rocky IV!

During the filming of Rocky IV, Sylvester Stallone took his commitment to realism to the extreme. He told Dolph Lundgren to hit him for real—and Lundgren didn’t hold back. Just minutes into the scene, a brutal uppercut sent Stallone to the ICU for nine days! In this video, we uncover the wild story of the real-life punch that almost took out "Rocky" himself.

Stallone: "I see three of them";
Paulie: " Get the one in the middle."

Thats why he's still making hits well into his late 70's!! and still in great shape, the man is an Icon no doubt.

I watched this at the age of 12 in 1985 in the cinema. It was incredible.

I heard the doctor told him his injuries were on par with getting hit by a truck. And Stallone told him "Have you seen Dolph? He is a truck!"
