"All extant VHS and DVD copies of Rocky II, III, and IV have been recalled from circulation "effective immediately," and will not be re- released until a decision has been made whether to end the films before their climactic title matches or shoot new scenes in which Balboa suffers humiliating defeats, a spokesman for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer said.
In the wake of the decision to reverse the films' endings, Balboa's title belt will be retroactively awarded to opponent Apollo Creed. Because Creed died at the beginning of Rocky IV, the posthumous title will be awarded in his stead to Carl Weathers, the actor who portrayed him."
Lyder næsten som en joke, så har ikke indsendt det som nyhed... Håber det for har endnu ik selv fået købt Rocky filmene.
In the wake of last month's shocking revelation that actor Sylvester Stallone had been caught with the illegal human growth hormone Jintropin at an Australian airport, the World Boxing Association, in a joint decision with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Screen Actors Guild, has overturned the uplifting, feel-good endings of Rocky II, III, and IV, sources said Monday.
Siden hvornår bestemmer the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild eller (!) the World Boxing Association hvordan en film skal ende?

Altså, nu er The Onion jo et kendt satirisk website, så man skal nok ikke lægge den store lid til "nyheden".
Man behøver såmænd bare at kigger på et par af de andre nyheder, fx denne: "WASHINGTON, DC—In a nationally televised address reminiscent of President Kennedy's historic 1961 speech pledging to put a man on the moon, President Bush responded to the global warming crisis Monday by calling for the construction of a giant national air conditioner by the year 2015." :-)

Efter jeg postede det i heads up tråden sendte jeg det faktisk ind som nyhed - jeg regnede med det var en and, men jeg ville Filmz personellet afgøre det. Jeg kender ikke rigtig The Onion - men ikke en dårlig joke.
