I got my copy of Rocky a few days ago. The only thing I have yet to watch is the commentary by Stallone. The deleted scenes are decent, curious why some of them were cut. The alternate ending is all right, but they used some crappy music in it. The making of is about 17 minutes and all right, would have liked to have seen a 60 or 90 minute documentary, but hey watch all the featurettes for a nice little featurette. I think that was it. It was nice seeing it again, and there are no trailers or TV spots 
they do have some previews for things like Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man 2.1 and some others as well.

I've listened to some of Stallone's commentaries and he's actually really articulate in analyzing his movies.
I'm actually really looking forward to picking this up and learning more on his decision to make this movie.

After watching the alt. ending, Stallone made the right choice with the one he put in the film.

I read a review of the dvd, and the reviewer said that in the commentary Stallone mentions that there will be a director's cut of the movie somewhere down the line.

I hope he doesn't make a director's cut...none of the deleted footage really adds to the movie...I think the film is fine the way it is.

Not to threadjack, but when the heck was this thing in theaters? I remember lots of buzz about this movie being in production, then the next thing I know I'm seeing 'Coming on DVD this Tuesday'. commercials.

He did say that Rocky turned it into a shrine for Adrian after her death (hence, all the photos of her on the walls)...but that wasn't the original reason the restuarant opened.
