Rocky 5 And Rocky Balboa Are Finally Coming To 4K Blu-ray
The only two films in the franchise that haven't been released on 4K Blu-ray finally go the distance.
After nearly 50 years, the Rocky franchise is now nine movies deep. While almost all of them have gotten the 4K treatment over the years, there are still a couple of these films--1990's Rocky 5 and 2006's Rocky Balboa--that don't yet have 4K Blu-rays for you to put on your shelf. But that won't be the case for much longer, because you can preorder the 4K Blu-ray sets for both Rocky 5 and Rocky Balboa right now.
These new Rocky Blu-rays include each movie in 4K, standard Blu-ray, and digital download formats, and package it all in collectible steelbook cases featuring iconic shots from the movies on the cover and interior. The Rocky Balboa 4K Blu-ray set includes separate discs for the original theatrical release and the extended director's cut.

In the fifth movie, Rocky finds himself a working class man once again after Paulie's accountant wastes all their money on bad real estate deals, and the washed-up fighter tries to find a new lease on life by training and mentoring a young fighter named Tommy Gunn. But after Tommy dumps Rocky for a competitor, Rocky ends up having to fight his own protege in an unsanctioned street fight. While not a particularly beloved entry in the franchise, Rocky 5 does its own thing in a way that's gotten easier to appreciate the longer this series goes on.
You can preorder the Rocky 5 4K USH Blu-ray for $40 at Amazon and Walmart.
Rocky Balboa 4K UHD Blu-ray
$29 (was $65)
16 years after Rocky 5, Sylvester Stallone returned for this revival, which sees a 60-year-old Rocky take on the current heavyweight title-holder--played by real boxer Antonio Tarver--in a charity bout. This one has aged surprisingly well, thanks to stunt matches like this becoming more common and prominent in the streaming age.
While the set is normally priced at $65, you can preorder it for just $29 at both Amazon and Walmart.
