Rocky IV is a 1985 American sports drama film written, directed by, and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film co-stars Dolph Lundgren, Burt Young, Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, Tony Burton, Brigitte Nielsen, and Michael Pataki. Rocky IV remained the highest grossing sports movie for 24 years before it was overtaken by The Blind Side] It is the fourth and most financially successful entry in the Rocky film series. In the film, the Soviet Union and their top boxer make an entrance into professional boxing with their best athlete Ivan Drago, who initially wants to take on World champion Rocky Balboa. Rocky's best friend Apollo Creed decides to fight him instead, but is fatally beaten in the ring. Enraged, Rocky decides to fight Drago in the Soviet Union to avenge the death of his friend and defend the honor of his country. Critical reception was mixed, but the film earned $300 million at the box office. This film marked Carl Weathers' final appearance in the series. The film's success led to a fifth entry released on November 16, 1990. Rocky IV is the original motion picture soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It was originally released in 1985 on the Scotti Brothers label. In 2010 Intrada Records released the original score by Vince DiCola, which was not available before. The soundtrack was hugely successful on the strength of two top-five singles, Survivor's "Burning Heart" (which Sylvester Stallone personally commissioned for the film and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) and James Brown's "Living in America", as well as Robert Tepper's lone top-40 hit, "No Easy Way Out". It reached the top ten on the Billboard 200 album char] and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. It is the only score to a Rocky film not composed by Bill Conti, but does feature some music he composed for the first film. Robert Tepper is an American songwriter, recording artist and sporadically active singer, best known for his hit song No Easy Way Out from the Rocky IV motion picture soundtrack. Lyrics: We're not indestructible, Baby better get that straight I think it's unbelievable How you give into the hands of fate Some things are worth fighting for some Feelings never die I'm not askin' for another chance I just want to know why There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home There's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong I don't want to pasify you I don't want to drag you down But I'm feelin like a prisoner Like a stranger in a no named town I see all the angry faces Afraid that could be you and me Talkin about what might have been I'm thinkin about what I used to be There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home Ther's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong Baby, baby we can shed this skin We can know how we feel inside Instead of…
