The former last installment of the Rocky Balboa film franchise.
Released in 1990 the film was a massive financial and critical failure.
It begins closely after the end of Rocky IV.There were several reasons why the film failed:
1. Rocky Balboa's son clearly ages significantly from the last film, this was due to Stallone wanting to cast his son in the film who by 1990 was 14, 13 during filming, whereas Rocky's son in the film is 8 in the previous film.
2. Rocky loses his money because of his crook accountant and has to move back to his brother in law's house in downtown Philadelphia. Many fans saw this as a horrible twist in the underdog story that had dominated the series plot line.
3. Rocky is discovered to have suffered brain damage, forcing him to retire.
4. Rocky becomes a manager to a boxer who later betrays him, it is seen as lackluster because Rocky, the fighter has very little place in the film.
5. In the finale where Rocky actually fights his trained pupil, he takes serious blows, but wins and survives. In the original script, Rocky was intended to die after winning the fight, since this did not happen, coupled with his financial downfall many fans viewed the whole story to be pointless.
The film being ridiculed and classified as one of the worst films ever made period prompted Stallone to direct yet another sequel entitled Rocky Balboa released in 2006, which more or less ignored Rocky V except Balboa's financial loss. Since this new last installment was a critical and financial success, many fans and critics suggested forgetting about Rocky V entirely, much like Friday The 13th Part V, which was considered a horrible film in that franchise and was more or less remade in the subsequent sequel prompting fans to forget that film.

The acute angle created by the spreading of the legs in a female. The apex being at the groin. The angle is noted to be increased in direct correlation with promiscuity.
Dude she's been around the block. Check out THAT v-angle. It's almost obtuse!
originally a cricketing term where the batter would show strong fundamentals and admirable restraint to hit down the ground (usually along the carpet), eschewing any agricultural cross-batted swipes
v - refers to the batting pitch map where such sensible shots would form a V shape over the course of an innings
note - also can apply to bedroom activities
Good luck on the date with Jess… Take time to get your eye in and just play in the v
Q - How’d you go in the interview
A - Yeah good, I kept my shots along the ground and played in the v
AKA the Asian way of saying Louie Vuitton; Rouie VuiTUAN, whilst making a reference to Tuan Lose. It is used in the worst cases of a “Lose Lose” and is rearry hirarious. TEKU.
Cristiano: hey sweetie, I can’t believe Roma came back against Barca, where was the best player in the world when his team needed him?
Ale: I don’t want to talk about it😭
Cristiano: It sounds like the ultimate case of a Rouie V! SUUUUUUUU
