Isn’t it in a Geico commercial or something like that.

This song has been used in the TV shows Arrested Development, Chuck, Glee and Gotham. Movies include Shiner (2000) The Kid & I (2005) and Pitch Perfect (2012). It also gets a mention in a 2015 episode of the animated show Gravity Falls, when a character says, "It's the final countdown! Just like they always sung about!"

Th only songs I remember from Rocky are Eye of the Tiger and Living in America.

Also the Finak countdown not being featured in any movie can’t be accurate. I don’t remember it in Rocky though

The movie was MUCH better than the song.

Can I say this about Rocky IV and montages?

The No Easy Way Out montage has scenes from the Rocky 3 beach training montage. So you're getting an Inception style montage within a montage.

Second, the Hearts on Fire training montage is right after another training montage. There's like a 45 second break for dialogue between Rocky and Adrian, or it would be literally back to back training montages with no break.

Rocky 4 was in 1985 and The Final Countdown didn't even come out til 1986.
