Don't recall Paulie's Robot?
I was checking on IMDB and apparently the robot actually has a name
Sico, who knew?
Here's a funny summary of his exploits somebody posted in the comments section for Rocky IV:
Quote:
| Early in the movie, the Balboa family is celebrating Paulie's birthday. Thus, like every rich family in America in the 1980s, the only respectable birthday gift for a grumpy, old, single male is a robot: a walking, talking, subservient robot. Now, Stallone realized in writing this movie having a robot replace a hardworking maid would not be a prudent thing to do after writing in the movie. Clearly, the only appropriate solution to this is to create romantic tension between Paulie and the robot. Furthermore, when Rocky, Paulie, and later Adrian go to Siberia to train, the most reasonable option for babysitter is the robot. Quite clearly, the robot was inspired greatly by Rosie of the Jetsons and added the character development that would have been lacking in this movie otherwise. |
He forgot to mention that when Rocky Jr. and his friends are watching the Rocky-Drago fight on TV, the robot is also in attendance, mesmerized by the pugilistic display and logging the techniques of the Sweet Science in its database for future use.
