Notes: | When seen in the movie "Rocky III", this machine had a prop backglass used only for the movie. Only three of the prop backglasses were made, and one was destroyed in the film when Paulie, Rocky's brother-in-law, threw a bottle of Scotch through it. The remaining two are in possession of collectors. We asked designer John Trudeau why the production backglass was not used in the movie. He replies: The coordination with the Rocky III movie was already in process when I started at Gottlieb in '81. Ed Krynski had a whitewood in development for the license tie-in. I guess it didn't play very well, because it never made it to production. The backglasses that were made for the movie were made to fit an existing game - not Rocky (I was told that it was a Force II, but the displays would have to have been moved). The produced game didn't even exist at that time, nor did any artwork. I believe we were pretty close to NOT using the Rocky license at all. I came up with the design that was produced pretty much at the last minute. The cabinet for an engineering sample of "Rocky" was reused for the prototype for Gottlieb's 1982 'Gold Rush' and can be seen in that listing. On production games, the cabinet artwork that surrounds the coin door shows a boxing ring along with two symbols that possibly were meant to represent flashbulbs going off in the crowd. On most cabinets, the flashes are black in color, and the "nearest" side of the boxing ring is black also, with the remainder of the ring painted in red. We have seen pictures of two games in Europe (not shown here) that have the black and red colors reversed on this cabinet front. We do not know how many of these "Red Flash Rocky" games were made. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
