details

• Continuity: In the fight between Rocky Balboa and Mason "The Line" Dixon, the bleeding cut under Rocky Balboa's right eye disappears and reappears several times.
  
  
• Continuity: While Rocky goes out to the alley to talk with Paulie, his polo collar is folded up against the jacket. It is no longer when he re-enters the restaurant, even before he adjusts the coat.
  
  
• Continuity: A gold chain around Marie's neck appears and disappears several times during a long exchange between her and Rocky outside of her row house.
  
  

• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Rocky, Jr.'s boss meets Rocky, his mouth doesn't match what he's saying in one shot.
  
  
• Continuity: Right before the main event, the channel that is presenting the fight between Balboa and Dixon throws up some stats for the two fighters on the screen. The headshot they use for Rocky is taken from the upcoming fight that Rocky has not yet fought in.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the montage for Mason before the fight, you can see "Tarver" on his trunks in at least one of the clips. Antonio Tarver is the name of the boxer who played Mason.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: The shadow of microphone are visible on Rocky's red T-shirt when goes outside from restaurant talk to Rocky Jr.
  
  
• Continuity: At the end of round two, when the bell rings, Rocky's trainer Duke jumps through the ropes and falls into the ring. The towel on his shoulder hangs on the ropes. The next scene showing Rocky in his corner has Duke going through the ropes again with the towel still on his shoulder.
  
  
• Continuity: When Rocky gives little Marie a ride home, it shows him getting in the van and the van automatically starts, his hand never goes to the ignition to put the key in. Then when he gets out to go talk to the drunk, it shows him turning van off.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: Paulie and Rocky watch a story about the 'computer fight' at Rocky's restaurant. The show is ESPN's 'COLD PIZZA', a morning show. Yet the scene takes place at night, when the show wouldn't be on.
  
  
• Continuity: When Rocky and Marie was walking toward the van from the bar, the van is parked about a quarter of a block away from the bar. After Rocky come back from confronting with the drunk, the van is parked on the corner and blocking the crosswalk.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the conclusion, in the first round of the main event, the announcer states Rocky lands 9 of 13 punches, but he clearly throws more, roughly 30 punches thrown and he lands roughly 25.
  
  
• * It's not true. It's just the camera angle which could confuse a viewer.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: When Mason Dixon is announced as the champ, you can see Rocky's trainer, Duke, in the left lower corner of the ring. Rocky has already hugged Duke as he has headed into the tunnel.
