Featured prominently in the
original Rocky, this large cloth banner of Rocky
Balboa was the focus of one of the major scenes in the
film when Balboa visits the Spectrum Arena on the night
before his bout with Apollo Creed.
Two of these posters were created
especially for the film, one of Stallone's character and
one of Carl Weather's Creed. In the aforementioned
scene, Rocky becomes concerened over an inaccuracy in the
poster - the fact that his shorts are shown as being red
with a white stripe. This part of the dialogue was
written in after these large banners were finished when
producers noticed the discrepancy between the poster and
Stallone's wardrobe for the fight - white shorts with a
red stripe.
