After winning the ultimate title and being the world champion, Rocky falls into a hole and finds himself picked up by a former enemy.
"With the second movie in the 'Rocky' series doing box office numbers close to the first, United Arts (now merged with MGM) approved a third feature for the franchise, once again directed by Sylvester Stallone. Now, the story switches the context from a failed man seeking glory to one who is a victim of his own success, stuck in a routine created only to keep him as the great champion, but without challenges. That is until the villain of the moment appears: Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T (who became famous in wrestling and in the series 'A-Team'). Now, Rocky turns to his former challenger, Apollo Creed, for help in training. 'Rocky III' is (very) far from the brilliance of the original movie, but has the merit of trying to innovate in the motivations of its protagonist. In addition, it introduces a new epic theme song: 'Eye of Tiger', a song by the band Survivor inspired by one of Creed's lines that became a huge success at the time, even reaching the position of boxing theme song on Rede Globo in the eras of Mike Tyson and Maguila."
