According to the director of the original film, John G. Avildsen, in a 1980s newspaper interview, one of the main reasons he did not direct this sequel (besides preparing for his role as director for La febbre del sabato sera (1977)) was that he didn't approve of the story. He was, however, fond of Stallone's original concepts for the two films which would have made the series a trilogy. The plots would have had Rocky be elected mayor of Philadelphia on the Reform Ticket, only to be scandalized when Paulie is caught stealing from the treasury. Rocky takes the blame, is kicked out of office, and ends up penniless just as he was at the beginning of the series. Coincidentally, this is similar to a scenario that Stallone and Avildsen collaborated on for Rocky V (1990)
