Rocky VI (1986)
Original title: Rock'y VI
Rocky VI is a 1986 Finnish-language comedy movie directed by Aki Kaurismäki, with a running time of 9m. It stars Silu Seppälä, Sakari Kuosmanen and Heinäsirkka.
Not to be confused with any of the sequels to Sylvester Stallone's classic Oscar-winning Rocky, this short film from Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki is actually meant as a parody of the late Cold War-era Rocky IV, which saw Stallone's character taking on a juiced-up Russian fighter played by Dolph Lundgren. In this 1986 send-up, Rock'y, played by Silu Seppala, goes head to head with Soviet Igor (Sakari Kuosmanen) and loses.
