Dolph Lundgren is memorable as Ivan Drago in his first movie role. Sylvester Stallone who also returns to the director's chair is still a delight as Rocky Balboa, the former underdog turned world champion and is also in peak physical condition too. The events from Rocky IV would later form the backstory of Creed II (2018) where Apollo's son Adonis Creed takes on Ivan Drago's son Viktor Drago in the ring, and also sees the return of an embittered Ivan Drago. Ridden with guilt for not throwing in the towel and enraged by Drago's lack of remorse, Rocky Balboa vows to avenge Creed's death with the help of Creed's former manager Duke (the late Tony Burton) by taking on Drago in an unsanctioned boxing match where Rocky surrenders the championship and the fight will take place in the Soviet Union on Christmas Day. Drago emotionlessly responds, "If he dies, he dies", during his victory interview as Rocky cradles a bloodied Creed. Things go tragically wrong when the former world champion underestimates the Soviet powerhouse as he ruthlessly receives a pummeling and is later killed when Drago lands a fatal blow. Apollo Creed steps out of retirement to challenge Drago in an exhibition match in Las Vegas despite Rocky's misgivings.

Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) has arrived from the Soviet Union along with his team of trainers and managers as well as his wife Ludmilla (Bridgette Neilson) to announce their intentions of entering professional boxing and promoting Drago's superior athleticism. Rocky is still riding high of the success of the world championship and is enjoying life with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire), Rocky's friend and Adrian's brother Paulie (Burt Young), and trainer and former adversary turned friend Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
Rocky IV might be a far cry from the original movie which won the 1976 Best Picture Academy Award with its paperthin plot, part 80's music video, and blatant patriotism but nonetheless is still great entertainment and one to enjoy. It's important for representation, it's important for my son to see that.The Rocky saga continues as Sylvester Stallone returns as champion boxer Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV. And it's important for me to do this this year. So as scary as that was, because I haven't been onstage in seven years, there's something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. She added, "And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. "But when you become a mom, there's something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world, you can do anything." "When I first got the call to do it again this year, I was like, 'You sure?' Like, I'm three months postpartum, like, should I be making major decisions like this right now? Like, I might regret this," she said during the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show press conference. The "Love on the Brain" singer opened up about how becoming a mother influenced her decision to perform at this year's Super Bowl. Rihanna and Rocky previously welcomed their first child, a baby boy, last May. At the beginning of her highly anticipated performance, she revealed her growing baby bump, which she gently rubbed as she descended onto the Halftime stage via a floating platform. Tonight, Rihanna announced that she is pregnant with her second child.
