This is the one I'm getting:stujones wrote:Well annoyed at that - I only just bought the 25th anniversary box set. If you can let me know what it is like, I am a sucker for these films. Is it just a new packaging.DK2112 wrote:Rocky Anthology dvd box set and maybe a book or two.
It was out in 2001 - Box set, contains 5 discs (all movies) "Rocky" has got a fair few special features, commentary, tribute Burgess Meredith trailers to all of the films and also a good section which shows Sly and Carl Weathers "sparring". The other Discs are just the other movies and the trailers for that movie (all of which are shown on the Rocky DVD).DK2112 wrote:This is the one I'm getting:stujones wrote:Well annoyed at that - I only just bought the 25th anniversary box set.

Here are the details for the new box set, although I am couldn't find it at a UK site - so might be American only (although I am sure I have seen an advert for it here).

Nosher was the MC for some of Roys unlicenced fights of course.might i suggest a boxrec get together somewhere central to maximise numbers ( say edinburgh) and we could hire bernard as the MC or toastmaster?stujones wrote:So is Bernard any good at his job, there are some poor ones on TV - I would like to see Bernard get some TV time, it would be fun.
