Abstract

Rocky (1976), written by and starring sylvester stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen, grossed $225 million worldwide after being shot on a paltry $1.1 million budget. Although film critics and historians, like Peter Biskind, often seem to classify Rocky as a “post-New Hollywood feel-good film, a throwback to the ’50s, and a peek at the ’80s,” a blockbuster among the likes of Star Wars and Jaws, the film is unmistakably influenced by the New Hollywood movement. Rocky captures the essence of raw artistry and emotion that emerge in Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, Taxi Driver, or any of the other poster-films for the New Hollywood movement. After Rocky, however, stallone made Rocky II, III, IV, and V, trying to recreate—and perhaps sponge off—the success of the original.
