-The robot that appears in the movie was written in after it was discovered that it was used to help Sylvester Stallone's autistic son Seargeoh
-This was the shortest of all the Rocky movies at just 94 minutes
-During their practice boxing session, Sylvester Stallone asked Dolph Lundgren, who plays the Russian boxer Ivan Drago, to "really go at it" like normal boxers. Sylvester Stallone got hit so hard by Dolph Lundgren that his heart slammed up against his breastbone and started swelling, sending his blood pressure above 200
-Despite the fact that this film is actor Dolph Lundgren's break out role, which made him famous, his actual first role was as one of General Gogol's bodyguards in A View to a Kill (1985)
