- Apollo's old trainer Duke was the only one there in Rocky IV and could have had a cameo; he is still alive.
- Rocky's lymphoma battle runs through too fast; flying to Europe to train a fighter weeks later is a quick recovery, another reason it should be two movies.
- Adonis's closed left eye in the 12th round sits too low, a makeup error.
- Conlan is not in shape for a light heavyweight champion even though the actor is a real boxer; Jordan's physique throws off what a real boxer looks like, though actors always do that.
