Alternate versions

Several scenes were added for the European Theatrical Release:

• During the Thunderlips charity fight, there are several glances between Rocky and Clubber Lang (Mr. T).
• A romantic scene between Rocky and Adrian before the Statue unveiling.
• A funeral march for Mickey (Burgess Meredith).
• The dialogue between Apollo ('Carl Weathers') and Rocky in Mick's Gym is longer.

CBS edited 3 minutes from this film for its 1985 network television premiere.

Late 2000's/early 2010's AMC broadcasts in the US used the sped-up 25 fps PAL video from a 24 fps film source. However, current AMC broadcasts in the US now slow down the film's original audio pitch and speed at 4%.
