Rocky 4 is 100% propaganda. But it's not really the Russians have better science. But rocky movies are about the underdog. You can't have 3 time world champ rocky be an underdog unless it's one dude vs a country. AKA rocky 4. That at the constant american beef at the time w the olympics that the Russians were using unholy science like doping and roids in their state run sports programs, while the Americans were all 'real scrapy amateurs'. Then of course the dream team.

I do find it funny you reference movies almost entirely from the 90s in you conclusion, movies over 20 years old.
