Original playfield layout on mylar with a 5th pop-bumper in the centre.
Whitewood with a 5th pop-bumper in place.

Comparison between the production backglass and the one used in the movie (right). Note the variation in score display positioning.
The game in Rocky 3: "Force II" is visible on the top left playfield plastic.
The smashing of the backglass scene in Rocky 3. Note the game's Pink Panther cabinet.

Superb portrayal of a young Stallone as the champ on the backglass.
Top right of playfield: plunger lane exit and drop-target bank with the centre Extra Ball target.
Top left of playfield with the exit of the "Upper Cut" lane to the top 3 pop-bumpers.
Centre playfield showing the left and right drop-target banks and the pair of sparring twin slingshots.

A great looking game that captures Rocky in his prime.
Lower right of playfield. Note the circular Rocky artwork in the place where the 5th pop-bumper was intended.
Bottom of playfield showing the unusual double flipper layout and the central "On the ropes" kicker flanked by 2 more outlanes.
Rocky was one of the first Gottlieb games to have a promotional plastic key-fob.

Thanks to John Trudeau for the playfield mylar and Whitewood photos and to Richard Ford for his input on the backglass
