1985 film directed by Pauli Pentti

Not to be confused with any of the sequels to Sylvester Stallone's classic Oscar-winning Rocky, this short film from Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki is actually meant as a parody of the late Cold War-era Rocky IV, which saw Stallone's character taking on a juiced-up Russian fighter played by Dolph Lundgren. In this 1986 send-up, Rock'y, played by Silu Seppala, goes head to head with Soviet Igor (Sakari Kuosmanen) and loses.

青年维尔（Aki Kaurismäki 饰）整日无所事事，勤于用奉承话儿逗那些大街上的陌生姑娘，有时也从她们手中骗点喝酒的零钱，维尔的主要收入来源于各式朋友、熟人，他用各种谎话借钱之余，也和几个浪荡青年、知识分子流连酒吧，谈论哲学文学的话题。维尔在游乐场偶遇游艺女郎图拉，维尔将她拽走，向她灌输自尊的重要，并表示自己可以担负养家的责任，二人生活到了同一屋檐下，但维尔毫无改变，执着于自己那发表前景并不明朗的写作事业，依靠骗钱与偶发性的盗窃度日。二人终于吵翻，图拉离他而去，当两人再一次在街上相遇，维尔像自己看过的那场新浪潮电影一样，给出了一个荒诞的结局。 本片获1981年芬兰坦佩雷国际短片电影节Risto Jarva奖。
