“Rocky V” Goofs List
- Continuity: When Rocky is talking to Tommy in the basement, there is a bruise under Rocky Jr.’s left eye. In the next shot the bruise is under his right eye.
- Continuity: When they are all at the table eating dinner, Paulie grabs Adrian’s plate. In the next shot he grabs it again.
- Continuity: In the street fight, Paulie is shown holding onto Rocky Jr. But in the next shot Paulie is shown alone. In the next shot, he is holding Rocky Jr. again.
- Continuity: In the final scene Rocky gives Rocky Jr. the boxing glove on a chain, when he holds it up it is dangling several inches down. But in the next shot it is now dangling only an inch or two, even though he didn’t move it.
- Continuity: When Rocky is getting off the plane his son comes running through the crowd, Rocky has no sunglasses on when he sees his son, but when he hugs his son, his sunglasses are on.
- Continuity: During the final street fight scene, while Rocky is being congratulated Tommy Gunn is shown in the background getting up. When they cut to Gunn, he is shown on the ground.
- Revealing mistakes: When Tommy Gunn is delivering one of his punches in the big fight, the Adidas symbol on his shirt is on the wrong side, revealing that it’s a mirrored image.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Rocky’s championship belt is in the basement despite burying it with Apollo Creed’s body in Rocky IV. However, as both men held the championship it is likely that both would have had replicas that they could permanently keep.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Rocky Jr. is arguing with his dad about Christmas, Rocky tells him to remember last year, even though last Christmas he was fighting in Russia and was not with his son then either.
- Factual errors: When Rocky arrives back in the US from Russia, he is seen getting off an Ilyushin IL-86 jet. Assuming he arrived back in Philadelphia from Moscow (a distance of just over 4,000 miles) it would be impossible to fly that distance on an IL-86, which has a maximum range of just over 3,000 miles.
- Continuity: The attorney’s state that Rocky’s son was willed Mickey Goldmill’s gym in 1982, even though in Rocky III it is said that Mickey died on August 15, 1981.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene where Rocky is taking a shower in the beginning of the film he calls out “Hey Tony” calling to Duke. It was never clear to what his first name might have been, until Rocky Balboa revealed during the fight conference that his name was Duke Evers. Sylvester Stallone obviously called out the actor’s name “Tony” instead of his character’s “Duke”.
- Continuity: Even though the events in this movie are supposed to be directly after the fight in Rocky 4, Adrian’s hair is about 5 or 6 inches longer than during the fight.
- Continuity: During Rocky’s fight with Drago in Rocky 4, Duke’s mustache was black. In the beginning of this movie, which takes place in the locker room after the fight, his mustache is noticeably gray.
- Continuity: When Rocky has his first press conference at the airport, after returning from Russia, he is approached by Duke who is forcefully challenging him to fight Cane. At one point Adrian stands to protest and after an immediate retort from Rocky and Duke the camera shows a wide shot and Adrian in still in her seat beside the podium.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After the fight is over, Rocky makes the statement that (paraphrased) he is sure that his kid has been watching the fight even though he should have already been in bed. With the time difference in Moscow, even if the fight had finished in Russia by mid-night then it would have been 6 p.m., or early evening in Philly.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The large house Rocky is forced to leave is not the same house as in Rocky IV and III. However many years pass between Rocky becoming rich and losing his fortune, so it is entirely possible the family moved at some point during the height of Rocky’s popularity.
- Continuity: In the final sequence when Tommy Gun and Rocky are fighting, Tommy Gun throws several punches with his left hand, but in the cutaway shots he lands those same punches with his right hand.
- Continuity: At the end of Rocky IV (1985), Rocky’s son (born in 1976) is 9. However, at the beginning of Rocky V, which in the movie’s time-line takes place only a week after the end of Rocky IV, the boy is already 12 or 13. In addition, Rocky IV is set in 1985 (we know this because it is nearly the 9-year anniversary of Rocky and Adrian, and they were married in 1976), yet in this movie, Rocky Jr. and his friends are watching the 1989 movie Christmas Vacation (1989).
- Continuity: Rocky Jr.’s jacket jumps on and off his shoulder between shots when he goes to the gym to tell Rocky that he got it back.

In Rocky II, in Apollo’s office, when he’s with his trainer “Duke” and his managers etc., Apollo call’s him Tony. He doesn’t get called Duke until they meet in The Tough Gym in L.A.. So it was fine Rocky calling him Tony in Rocky V.
