The Real Rocky

Running at a little under an hour this is a cool little documentary that shows the life of the guy that inspired the Rocky story (and a few other Rocky side-plots in later sequels). It hits some typical troupes (no one gave him a chance to win, he gets mixed up with drugs) but it doesn't make it any less compelling.

Interesting history facts. Yet the whining traits were tiring over the duration of the documentary. That guy had quite a famous life. Why whining more? The facts are well told and I learned many things regarding this period

Fascinating look at Chuck Wepner,the inspiration behind Rocky

The story is great, the editing is obnoxious.

Wepner: Hard as funk...Stallone: Soft as pillow...
