* RealitySubtext: Just as he had done with the first four films, Creator/SylvesterStallone incorporated much biographical material into the plot of the film. Stallone particularly focused on the notion of Rocky's fall from grace. In ''Film/RockyIII'' and ''Film/RockyIV'', Rocky was top of the world, unbeatable and incredibly famous and popular. These two films had coincided with the height of Stallone's own popularity, which had waned decidedly in the years since ''Rocky IV''. As such, when composing the script for Rocky V, he decided to look at the notion of how a man can have it all, only to suddenly lose it.

** As mentioned above but the original ending was supposed to end with Rocky dying after his fight with Tommy. However both Stallone and United Artist decided to change the ending when they determine it would be too depressing.

* NamesTheSame: The antagonistic fight promoter George Washington Duke (Creator/RichardGant) is mainly referred to by his last name by the other characters. This can cause confusion with Apollo Creed's friend and trainer (and later Rocky's), Tony "Duke" Evers, who prominently appears in all the other ''Rocky'' films while G.W. Duke only appears in ''Rocky V''. Notably, Rocky refers to Evers by his first name when they talk at the beginning of this film, though he only ever calls him Duke in the other films.
