I liked the movie, but not enough to go rent the DVD and see it again. Could someone please tell me what happens in the alternate ending? Thanks.

I like it, If I had the DVD this would be my preferred version, mainly for Mason-Dixon’s after the bout interview

Yes, we preferred the alternate ending. The interview with Mason Dixon after the fight brought his character full-circle and I didn’t think it took anything away from Rocky’s exit.

Great movie, wonderful bookend to the Rocky series.
