Rocky comprises a single monitor video and fourteen related drawings. The video begins with a man, McCarthy himself, waiting before the camera with his back turned and then turning to face it. Wearing shorts and boxing gloves, he begins to address the viewer in muttered sounds which mimic the manner in which actor Sylvester Stallone speaks as the character Rocky in the eponymous 1976 film. He begins occasionally to hit himself on the head, as though to clear his thoughts and to demonstrate his virility, but gradually the number and violence of the blows increases. It appears as though the Rocky character is having an imaginary fight with another person, but as the film develops it turns into a masochistic fight with himself.

The film's first half was a pretty weak beginning with some low-lustered performances and some decent screen-writing. But the second half literally boosted up those things with some moments that were strong and unforgettable. The boxing is exhilerating and Stallone turns in one terrific performance that will easily have you rooting for him every step of the way. The song "Gotta Fly Now" is now stuck in my head due to it's amazing musical back-up and Avildsen directs it well. Not one of Best Picture's best but still very good.
