Signed and inscribed "Ain't gonna be no rematch. Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed"
This poster was designed for a short run of a double-bill of the first two Rocky films. The artwork is unique to this double-bill poster.
It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/DVD sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.
Rocky was written by Sylvester Stallone, and directed by John G. Avildsen. Stallone also played the title role as Rocky Balboa. The cast also includes Talia Shire and Burt Young. The film won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing. Rocky II, which came out three years later, was written, directed and stars Sylvester Stallone. The cast also includes Carl Weathers, Tony Burton, Burgess Meredith, with Burt Young and Talia Shire reprising their original roles. A true hero goes all the way!
