Sylvester Stallone has revealed that the new version of Rocky 4 will be titled Rocky Vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut.

Stallone shared the movie's title in a recent Instagram post alongside a brief teaser of a new full-length documentary, titled 'Keep Punching: The Present Meets the Past,' that will accompany the director's cut of Rocky 4, offering fans insight into the behind-the-scenes process of re-editing the movie.

The original Rocky 4, released in 1985, followed Rocky's training journey in the lead-up to his fight against Ivan Drago, a hulking Russian newcomer who mercilessly killed Rocky's friend Apollo Creed in the ring. Stallone indicated in a follow-up Instagram post there would be more footage of their final face-off match as he promised "major payback" for Drago in the new release.

At long last, the director's cut we've all been clamoring for the last 36 years!

For those too young to remember, Rocky Balboa ended communism when he beat Drago.

Did this need a directors cut?

I mean it’s a tight 90 minutes . And it’s great as is.

Rocky's training journey in the lead-up to his fight against Ivan Drago, a hulking Russian newcomer who took super soilder serum and mercilessly killed Rocky's friend Apollo Creed in the ring. Drago then has his way with Rocky's wife Adrian, while he is training in Russia. A secret she took to her grave.

I often wonder if they regret killing off Apollo. Why not just make him confined to a wheelchair?

This better be a montage of a bunch of technicians in an editing room while an 80s power ballad blares and they slowmo eat Funyuns, gather lunch orders, type dramatically on keyboards, and fistpump while watching test footage.

I’ve always thought that if Rocky 4 was missing something it was extra footage of character development. Let’s really slow this movie down and go deep on Drago’s motivation.

Eh, I wish there was more Apollo stuff. His death and prefight seemed rushed.

Also isn't the Rocky Drago fight already one of the longest in the series?

I don't really need to see more Drago lumbering around the ring and Rocky walking into every punch with his hands down.
