Does anyone else notice how his son ages like five years in a space of a week between rocky 4 and 5? Seriously from the kid jumping up and down watching his dad fight to a kid that is drawing breasts and has grown a foot? And how his bedroom changed so much?

Could have just made it several years after the Russian fight!
shareYeah, it was stupid. They could've just brought in a younger kid. No one would've noticed.

Actually what they did was bring in an older kid. In the rocky four it is an actor in 5 it is Sage stalone. I assumed it was the same kid which is why his age jumed between movies.
shareWhen Rocky 5 first came out in 1990, Sly and his son did many interviews together to promote the movie. So Sly bringing in his own son to portray Rocky Jr was a big deal at the time, leaving everyone wondering if this would begin Sage's budding acting career to follow in his father's foot steps. The whole 'father and son acting and working together' angle was a new spin to keep the rocky franchise fresh at the time, though failed miserably. Plus Rocky Jr's role was more dramatic as he became more of a central focus to Rocky V, thus needing an older actor to portray him.
