Editing Rocky V (section)

===Continuity===
In the years following the film's release, Stallone acknowledged that the injury which forces Rocky to retire, referenced in the film as a potentially lethal form of '[[brain damage]]', was inaccurate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aintitcool.com/node/30861 |title=Round One With Sylvester Stallone Q&A!! |website=Aintitcool.com |access-date=December 1, 2015}}</ref> Stallone stated that having discussed the story with many boxing medical professionals, the injury Rocky suffered was a milder form of brain damage, similar to that of a long term concussion that many boxers suffer from and by modern-day standards are still able to gain licenses to box. It would not have prevented Rocky from gaining a license to box nor killed him, which is why he is allowed to box again in ''Rocky Balboa''.<ref name="AICNQA">{{cite web|author=Moriaty|url=http://www.aintitcool.com/node/30861|title=Round One With Sylvester Stallone Q&A!!|website=[[Ain't It Cool News]]|date=December 1, 2006|access-date=June 15, 2009}}</ref>

The age of Robert Jr. has often been cited as a continuity error, as in ''Rocky IV,'' which is set in 1985, he is 9 years old, yet in ''Rocky V,'' which takes place immediately after ''Rocky IV'', he is 14 years old.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Eker-Male |first=Nathanial |date=2022-09-28 |title=Rocky Theory Finally Explains Robert Balboa’s Infamous Age Jump Plot Hole |url=https://screenrant.com/rocky-v-robert-balboa-age-jump-plothole-theory/ |access-date=2025-04-19 |website=ScreenRant |language=en}}</ref>
