It is definitely a shame and a sin that Chuck Wepner doesn’t own any of the Rocky franchise rights.

Or negotiating part of the rights or long-term back-end for any of the movies after the success of the original Rocky?  Screenwriters and actors don’t just get rights regardless of how important they are to the film.  I seriously doubt publicly pressuring Winkler is going to do much good.

Yeah I was gonna say, since when has the industry ever tied rights to the people who come up with concept? It’s about who ponies up the cash. Stallone signed a contract, and it was certainly not an “unconscionable” contract because he was well compensated, he has derived great rewards from it all, and now he’s…

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton

You guys put up Quentin Tarantino and went with Leonardo DiCaprio?

Not to mention the exterior visibility of a Camaro.

That’s the whole premise of this slideshow. Read the first paragraph and you’ll see why naming them would be redundant and goofy.

Well then he’s not going to like the way he looks. 

No, they already felt like they’d survived hell

Why can’t he just open a school for the children in Brooklyn like Lebron did in Ohio? Why does everything have to be about making a profit?

So he’s teaching kids that they should put their money into a scam. Good work!

How about an academy that teaches financial literacy, financial planning, budgeting and smart investing??

Neither does the community. That’s why it’s prime for this hustle.

I don’t understand how getting kids interested in some bullshit scam helps the community.
