The real Chuck Wepner was indeed tested for the part of "Chink Weber" in Rocky II (1979), but when he failed his audition, the character was dropped from the movie. The name was used for the character of Sonny Landham in Sorvegliato speciale (1989) instead, the movie that Stallone (Morgan Spector) can be seen making inside Wepner's prison at the end.
