Rocky IV vs. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

Friday thread.

Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations

Bravely we hope against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes

Does the crowd understand?
Is it east versus west
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone??

OR

I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on... hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...!

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

CHOOOSE!

 

[MikeIke]

Although I loved Rocky IV, I've gotta give the nod to James T Kirk in this one.

 

[Aerial Assault]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I don't like to lose

 

[kevzilla]

I don't believe in the no-win scenario either.

 

[Cjw_55106]

I'll never vote against Rocky....unless it's against Rambo.

 

[timschochet]

Rocky does scream "Draaaagoooo!" on top of the mountain.

And as great as Kirk is, could he get 3,000 diehard Soviet fans to cheer for him?

 

[bigbottom]

This one isn't even close for me. Make it Rocky III and it may be competitive.

 

[Freelove]

Rocky III and you'd have had something, here.

But you can't put Kirk vs Khan up against the fifth best Rocky and expect anything but a beatdown.

 

[Short Corner]

Much closer than I expected

 

[DocHolliday]

What a bunch of nerds. Rocky is losing.

 

[strykerpks]

What a bunch of nerds. Rocky is losing.

He ain't gettin killed. He's gettin mad!

 

[Chaka]

To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!

 

[timschochet]

Who's more annoying, Kirk's old girlfriend or Adrian?

 

[Mister Martie]

fifth best Rocky

 

[Short Corner]

fifth best Rocky

No way it cracks the franchise top 5.

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

Adrian, deserved a good Carlo beat down.

 

[timschochet]

Adrian, deserved a good Carlo beat down.

YOU CAN'T WIN!

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

Adrian, deserved a good Carlo beat down.

YOU CAN'T WIN!

All you Corleones are the same!

 

[Tom Servo]

fifth best Rocky

No way it cracks the franchise top 5.

There's more than 5 Rocky movies?

 

[Rustoleum]

Gotta go with Khan.

Spock's death >>>> Apollo Creed's

Genesis device >>>> honky-tonk bar Punch-o-tron training device.

fifth best Rocky

The first three were all clearly better, and the Rocky Balboa one stopped short of being a complete embarrassment. That's more than can be said of the others. Partial cred because the Ukraine went on to dominate the actual world of HW boxing for the rest of time. But other than that,

 

[DrJ]

Went with Rocky IV. I've never seen a Star Trek movie because I assume they all suck.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

Rocky does scream "Draaaagoooo!" on top of the mountain.

Doesn't he scream "Adriannnnnn!!" at least once in every movie?

 

[timschochet]

Ivan Drago vs. Khal Drogo: who wins?

 

[flysack]

I'm pretty shocked that Tanner hasn't chimed in yet to say both suck.

 

[flysack]

Ivan Drago vs. Khal Drogo: who wins?

Unarmed? Ivan.

With swords or knives? Khal.

ETA: neither fight would be close either. With no weapons, Ivan would pummel the Khal in under 45 seconds. With swords, the Khal would butcher Ivan like a drugged lamb in even shorter time.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Who's more annoying, Kirk's old girlfriend or Adrian?

Adrian is a great name for a dog. Nothing better than yelling "Yo, Adrian!!!" when out looking for your stupid lost dog.

 

[eoMMan]

Never saw Star Trek. Went with Rocky IV.

 

[poopdawg]

Ivan Drago vs. Khal Drogo: who wins?

Unarmed? Ivan.

With swords or knives? Khal.

ETA: neither fight would be close either. With no weapons, Ivan would pummel the Khal in under 45 seconds. With swords, the Khal would butcher Ivan like a drugged lamb in even shorter time.

I take Draago in both cases. 1850 pounds of pressure. Whatever he hits. He destroys!!
