Rocky: 2 lines programming ×1 verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Rocky → Rocky II. Rocky 2 is a continuation of the first, which is just superior.
    “3 is the Rocky, the Leap of the Rocky franchise, 2 is like a continuation of one and one is just superior.”

The Color of Money: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (sequel script comparison): The Color of Money → Rocky II. The original Tevis-based script, a two-hander with Fats in Florida, would have been more by-the-book, like Rocky II or Creed II.
    “It's more going by the book, right? It's like Rocky 2.”

The Natural: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): The Natural → Rocky II. Hospital-bound pacing in The Natural echoes the biggest flaw of Rocky II.
    “This is the biggest flaw on Rocky 2.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Natural’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 1:00:41 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)
