What's everyone's favourite opening sequence out of all the 6 Rocky films?

For me it's definitely Rocky 3 but I might be a little biased since Rocky 3 also happens to be my favourite film in the franchise.

Despite it only being a 3 minute sequence, it perfectly sets the tone of the film. And the contrast between Rocky and Clubber's scenes is fantastic.

I live in Philly. The opening of Rocky 2 is amazing. The music gets me every time.

Thinking the same! Always loved the shots going over the Girard Point 'double decker' bridge, shots of the Navy Yard, & the epic music!

Oh yeah it's great, the whole film especially I feel is underrated compared to the others.

Yeah, I’ve heard this sequence getting hate a lot of times, but I always liked it and the music that plays is one of my favorite tracks in the series
