Trivia: If you look carefully at the very opening scene (the American glove and the Russian glove colliding), you can see that a split second after the gloves collide and a split second before they’re covered by the explosion, the Russian glove breaks in half and falls to the ground.

Goofs: Revealing mistakes: After the Creed/Drago match, when there is a montage of newspaper clippings about Rocky deciding to fight Drago, the first clipping if you look closely at the article and read it… you’ll notice that the article isn’t even about Rocky, but that it is actually about the world series.
