- The uninterrupted Leo–Donnie fight is nominated; the panel names its cinematographer and reports thirteen takes with the eleventh used.
- Jordan reportedly told Bill he took a real punch for the eleventh-round knockdown at Stallone’s insistence, continuing a franchise tradition; the Leo fight is reiterated as aged best.
- Philadelphia research identifies Victor’s Cafe as Adrian’s, Front Street as Mighty Mick’s gym location, and Max’s as the cheesesteak restaurant.
- Research: the cannot-sing-or-dance shirt references Rocky’s skating date; Stallone requested the flag trunks; Paulie’s grave gives 1940–2012; Jordan gained 24 pounds of muscle and learned boxing; Bellew won a cruiserweight title months later.
