This film was reviewed by Dr. Barry Hummel of the Quit Doc Research and Education Foundation on July 10, 2010.

Additional Comments: "There were 26 individual incidents of smoking, including several involving Rocky (Sylvester Stallone). There were two references to the harmful effects of tobacco, including a scene in which Rocky takes a cigarette away from a teenager, telling her 'it'll make your teeth yellow'.  There is also another scene in which Mickey (Burgess Meredith) takes Rocky's cigarettes away because smoking will negatively affect him during his training."
