* Rocky defeating Tommy Gunn in a street fight and then punching [[SmugSnake George Washington Duke]] into a car at the end of the film is ''extremely'' satisfying.
-->'''GW Duke:''' C'mon, punk, touch me and I'll sue.\\
''(Rocky uppercuts Duke)''\\
'''Rocky:''' Sue me for what?
* This is debatable, but Robert standing up to the bullies that picked on him, and then asking them to be friends is certainly awesome in a sense.
* Paulie takes a stand against Tommy Gunn, who insults Rocky. Paulie gave him a verbal smackdown, and it pissed him off enough to punch Paulie in the face. Paulie takes it like a champ though.
-->'''Paulie:''' Tommy, you're a piece of garbage, you know that?\\
'''Tommy:''' It ain't none of your business.\\
'''Paulie:''' Ain't none of my business? Ain't none of my business?! The man spit blood for ya, put you ahead of his own family, and you bring these rat bums (GW Duke and company) around here. Huh, Tommy? You got any dignity? Rocko made you your shot, you know that? He's the real champ, and you're just a goddamn joke! Now get out of here before I break your head in!
** Rocky gets angry and now he wants to spill Tommy's blood. On top of that, he denied Duke's satisfaction for a sanctioned fight.
-->'''Paulie:''' ''(wiping blood from his mouth)'' You shoulda left him on the street where you found him...\\
''(Rocky glares at Tommy)''\\
'''Rocky:''' [[TranquilFury You knocked him down, why don't you try knocking me down now?]]\\
'''GW Duke:''' Nah ah, in the ring! In the ring! Tommy Gunn only fights ''in the ring''! ''(To Tommy)'' Let's get out of here.\\
'''Rocky:''' ''My ring's outside.''\\
'''Tommy:''' Yeah? Let's do it.
* An out-of-shape, out-of-practice Rocky still packs a heck of a punch. He stands up to Tommy Gunn, despite taking a serious beating to the head (which could have killed him or permanently damaged him further), he's still able to beat down Tommy.
* Say what you will about this movie, say anything bad about it, but you can hardly deny that fight scene that occurred is one of the best in the whole series yet. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiZpgALUDVs All thanks to this music for making it awesome!]]
* The workprint version of the film is almost superior in every way to the theatrical version (as covered in this [=YouTube=] video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw_ITk7rCdo "Rocky V (1990) Ain't That Bad"]]), especially when it came to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h38t16H4JA final street fight]] and its non-remixed version of the Bill Conti music as well as the "ghost" of Mickey Goldmill cheering Balboa on care of his damaged brain having hallucinations.
-->'''"Ghost" Mickey:''' [[https://youtu.be/5h38t16H4JA?t=3m47s Beat the shit out of him.]]
