Morning Training

"Who was the greatest? Who was the best of all time? If two atheletes from different eras could actually compete against one another, who would come out on top?"
Bringing back old school, the original training montage, with its dying disco edge, grimy Philadelphia filth.




Yes, its out tomorrow. Rock Balboa returns. I will see it. Why? Well, as cliche at the whole franchise has become since Clubber v. Rocky, the pangs of gone-by ideals are screaming for retribution from Rocky III, IV, V. So will Balboa do it? I think Balboa will bring back the drama, tension, and reality that the original held. Who knows, the training montage could be redone in a completely revolutionary way!

Conti rocks.
Gotta add in Vince DiCola to the list of great rocky themes

I believe he (DiCola) also did the soundtrack for the 80's "Transformers, the Movie"

I have no idea how I know this

Looking @ Conti's filmography, I just noticed that he also wrote the theme to "American Gladiators".

I totally forgot about that show...epic.
