North Korea staged a concert for leader Kim Jong-un featuring music and footage from the film Rocky.
State TV on Wednesday ran taped footage of young leader Kim Jong Un at a concert that played a rendition of the famous "Rocky" theme song and showed clips of the pumped-up American film character boxing against his Cold War rival Ivan Drago.
Appearing to glorify a popular American entertainment icon is an unusual move for Pyongyang, which regularly unleashes invective at its former wartime enemy.
The band also played "My Way" popularised by Frank Sinatra.
The concert last week also featured Disney characters in a performance not authorised by the Walt Disney Co.
Kim was accompanied at the concert by a woman who has not been identified.----

Why be impressed by Rocky? HIS record is 106-0, against the best competition that North Korea can offer.
Why, he's never come CLOSE to losing....
