I watched this doc on Chuck Wepner, the real Rocky. It's worth an hour of your time. You can stream it on Netflix or watch the video on YouTube posted above.
ESPN takes a good look at the man who inspired Stallone to write Rocky. The doc is definitely well made. Good production. Good camerawork. It keeps things interesting. Anyone who goes toe to toe with Muhammad Ali has a tale or two to tell.
Chuck seems like a likable enough guy and it's cool to see him tell his story. There's ample archival footage to supplement the recent interviews they conducted. All in all, it's an entertaining window into the life of a boxer who would be otherwise unknown.
I've never been a fan of Stallone and this certainly didn't do anything to make me like him any better. Retard.
