Rocky IV's Ivan Drago



"I must break you."

This quote is from Rocky IV, by far the best installment of the series. It occurs before the two heavyweight titans engage in quite possibly the longest boxing bout ever. I know that the original Rocky put Sly on the map and also championed him an Oscar. He would then go on to star in the movie Oscar, but I digress. This ultimate montage movie was no doubt a metaphor for the cold war that the USA and USSR was involved in. Sylvester was able to portray this epic war through boxing, which in itself is a also a war. In the end, unity was the outcome......followed by brain damage.
