Goofs
When the referee is talking to Rocky and Apollo at the beginning of the final fight, his lips don't match what he's saying.

The shape and size of Rockys sweat mark on his chest throughout the running scene with the kids
Share this
When Apollo is on his way to the ring, his robe is done up and a towel is wrapped tightly around his neck. The scene cuts away to a shot of the ring and then cuts back to Apollo and his robe is now undone and the towel is dangling from his neck with his chest visible. The scene cuts away again and then cuts back to Apollo and his robe is done back up and the towel wrapped tightly around his neck again. It appears that they used footage from 2 different takes, one with the robe done up and the other with the robe undone.

Q
What age is Rocky in this film?
A
Rocky was 30 in Rocky, and he's 31 in Rocky II evidenced when he's walking out to the ring to fight Creed. The announcer says, '31 years of age.'
Q
What is the poem Rocky writes for Adrian when she is in a coma?
A
Remember when we was on ice skates, And I thought you were supposed to be great, But I kept giving you lip, And you kept trying to slip, So I could catch you. That was our first date, And after that, every day was great. So now I want you to know, That wherever you go, Atlantic City or in the snow, Don't worry about a thing, Cause as long as I got this ring, I'll always be there to catch you.
Q
How does the movie end?
A
Rocky and Apollo make it into round 15 still standing, although Rocky is getting the worst of it, having switched from southpaw punching to right-handed punches, and Creed has managed to break Rocky's nose again. Apollo's trainer advises him to just stay away from Rocky in the last round, because he can win the fight based on points, but Apollo disregards the advice as he wants a knockout. Mickey (Burgess Meredith) wants to stop the fight to keep Rocky from being killed, but Rocky refuses. Mickey advises him to start using his left hand, but Rocky says that ahe isn't going to rely on tricks. This is going to be a straight out fight to the finish. As round 15 begins and Rocky starts using his left hand again, Creed begins to take the brunt of Rocky's hammering. Suddenly, Rocky manages to land a devastating left blow to Creed's head, sending Creed tumbling to the floor. Out of sheer exhaustion, Rocky goes down, too. As the referee begins the count, both Creed and Rocky attempt to pull themselves up by the ropes, but Creed falls back, leaving Rocky standing as the referee reaches 10. Rocky is named the new heavyweight champion of the world. As he gets his strength back, he thanks Apollo Creed for the match, he thanks Mickey for his training, and he thanks God. In the final scene, he lifts the champion belt over his head and calls out to Adrian, who's watching the match at home, 'Yo, Adrian, I did it!'
