Ranking the films in the Rocky franchise while building Buddy's body

This week, I’m attaching the legs to the bodies of the Buddy stuffed toys and ranking 9 movies in the Rocky film series. This ranking will not include Creed III because I have never seen it. At the time of its release, I didn’t want to see a Rocky/Creed movie that didn’t have Rocky and Sylvester Stallone in it. I still don’t. But I will watch it at some point.

Here we go…

9. Rocky III (1982)

8. Rocky V (1990)

7. Rocky IV (1985)

6. Creed (2015)

5. Rocky II (1979)

What’s your ranking? Let us know in the comments section!
