Adrian changes her mind about Rocky fighting because she wants to support him. She wants him to win and believes in him. He abandoned boxing to help save her, so she is abandoning her opposition to help save him.

"The turns have tabled". Classic

Rocky 3? YES, PLEASE!

I was in a really terrible car crash some years ago. It was a lot of physical injury. I was in Intensive Care at the hospital for three weeks, in a coma. My late wife used to travel an hour each way every day to get to the hospital and stay by my side, so if I woke up she'd be there. When I see the scenes with Rocky staying by Adrian, I can't help it, but I cry. Great movie, and great reaction.

“Put it on the streets” means loansharking.

Say it again..'Let's roll it.' 😎🤌

Rocky wanted to continue fighting after he fought Apollo the first time. He only attempted something else, because he promised Adrian. He always dreamed of being a boxer. He would've never been happy doing anything else. Which is why she told him to win. She knew that's what he really wanted to do.

13:30. "The turns have tabled." That made me laugh.

The last three minutes of this film is my favorite in all cinema. Sooo good!

Amanda: How long has it been? Viewers: Five minutes. 🤣

The long stairway Rocky runs up at the end of the training montage leads to the Philadelphia Art Museum at the top. It is a fairly tough endurance exercise to walk up those steps, and it is even more challenging to run up that many steps.

Gr8 reaction Amanda as always. In answer to your question….the steps are at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There is also a Statue of Rocky there now! Also perhaps my personal fav of the series because it has a cameo of my fav boxer sparring Rocky… Roberto Duran!!!!

As rough as Mickey is as a trainer, it doesn't match the size of his soft heart for Rocky..... as seen by the way that he hangs around with Rocky while Adrian is in the hospital. But the thing that most people miss is this: Mickey actually realizes that Rocky has something OUTSIDE of boxing that will always give him joy and purpose, a family. Which to Mickey means that when it comes to training him for the rematch, Rocky has to be possibly the MOST DESERVING of Mickey's help due to the fact that even if the boxing thing "doesn't work out", Rocky is going to still be "okay" with life due to his family. Which is why, the training relationship of boxer/manager shifts into feeling more like father/son in this movie. And that sort of feeling is extended into Rocky 3 even more.

A true sequel unlike other franchises

Amanda! You hit the nail on the head when you said these Rocky movies are a lot of things in disguise. I see it over and over, with reactors saying at the beginning, "Well, I don't like sports movies," or "I don't follow boxing." Then, at the end, they're all loving the movies. So you're right. The movies are about struggling and working hard, all the while dealing with life issues, money, and romance. Keep going. This is a good series. :)

The stairs Rocky runs up in both movies is the Philadelphia Art Museum. I've run up those steps myself many times since I live here in Philadelphia where the movies were filmed.

The steps are the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it's even a tough walk.

Hi Amanda!😊 Great to see you continuing your Rocky journey! "Rocky III" and "Rocky IV" are bigger event films and are fun to watch. The thing to remember is that the Rocky franchise is a love story!❤ Rocky takes Adrian to the zoo and they see a tiger. Then Rocky buys a jacket with a tiger on the back. These things kind of tie in with the next film. Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) was an all-around athlete which included boxing. That is why he looks like a natural in the ring. Rocky's birth name is "Robert". The stairs Rocky climbs are the location of "The Philadelphia Museum of Art". Great reactions to the second and my favorite of the two, Amanda!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

What this film highlights for professional athletes is the struggle of maintaining and managing their wealth. Professional athletes retire at younger ages than most professions and then many blow their wealth on excessive spending.

Adrian realized that if Rocky was to giveup the home and go back to the tiny apartment that he would feel despair. That he failed her and their future family. She wouldn't truly mind because she loves him, but she knows the pain will probably eat at him for the rest of his life. So even though she fears the pain or injuries that he will go through, she recognizes the only way he can be happy is by going back into fighting. So she decides to support him fully. Something else that doesn't get talked about. He already likely feels like a failure because he believed that he could get a job that's good enough and was constantly rejected. So much so that the only job he could get was manual labour. Knowing that he tried his best to find a safe job for her, knowing that the failure of that is a constant weight on his mind (even if he doesn't mention it) must have given her a better reason to change her mind about boxing.

You will learn that one big theme through the first several movies is, that Rocky can't get fully motivated until Adrian gives him her support. While Paulie yelling at Adrian was wrong, he WAS right that as long as she wasn't supporting him, he had no chance in this fight, and likely would REALLY get injured, because he wasn't taking the training seriously, his heart wasn't in it. And Adrian changed her mind because she finally understood that he NEEDED her support to do it.

''What if he knocks him dead?'' Well, if he dies, he dies.

Those stairs are in front of the Phillidelphia Art Museum. They’re a famous landmark now because of the Rocky movies.

His first name is actually Robert but everyone calls him Rocky. Also, his idol is real life boxer Rocky Marciano so he probably preferred being called Rocky.

Rocky's real name was Robert but he got the nickname Rocky from the late world champion Rocky Marciano.

"Is he sufferring brain damage?" No, is just Rocky being Rocky. Nut now that you say it.... Well This will be a surprise tool that will help us later!

The "Rocky" stairs are at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Great reaction. Absolutely watch all 6 Rocky movies. Some you will like more than others, but I think you will enjoy the entire journey. Your viewers will definitely be there.

When Mick told Rocky to stay down. It was to let Rocky rest a bit before getting up again to fight. Gives him at least 6 to 7 seconds to get up before the full 10 count.

Beautiful movie. The devotion of Mickey is also center stage in this. I love watching his sense of victory, relief and closure as Rocky's manager and friend. First Blood (the first Rambo) is a must watch Stallone movie. it's more than just action. really.

My dad and I didn't connect much in life about anything. But Rocky was one of the things we connected on. Tough old Italian from the mean streets of Cleveland in his day. And a phenomenal athlete. Wrestling, Boxing, Football. Got me into wrestling as a kid because I was getting bullied a lot. Dad passed on this year. I'm so glad you "Get" the heart of this story. That it moved you. Seeing young people touched by the things that matter makes everything feel less lonely somehow. Whatever is stressing you out, I hope you weather that storm and find calm seas to sail on.

A saga Rocky muda as pessoas, quem assiste ao segundo filme, assiste a saga inteira um puxa o outro, fato!

The Rocky series is my all-time favorite movie series. Please continue reacting to them, including the Creed movies afterwards.

Literally no way you can dislike Rocky 2, not even a possibility

Amanda, it's great to see you so invested in this movie franchise. You'll be wearing one of Rocky's jackets with a tiger on the back next!! 🐯

Woman, You'd BETTER watch Rocky 3! And 4 and 5 and the piesta resistance, Rocky Balboa which you will absolutely go into fits over! We'll all be waiting to watch them with you. Your reactions are priceless.❤

Rocky is definitely a love story that has boxing in it

You should definitely watch the third film. There is something even worse than hateful comments about hateful letters...The guy sat down, wrote it out in ink and even paid for a stamp! Brutal!

You better cry, I’m crying. 😂 Rocky III yes, Let’s Roll It 🫰

I believe talia shire( adrian) was pregnant in real life during filming which is probably why they wrote it in the script her being pregnant and she missed alot of the film being in a coma

Good one, Amanda! I enjoyed watching this again with you. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

Loved your reaction. It's apparent you're a woman who likes to maintain her composure. So watching you throughout this reaction, to see the cinematic love story of Rocky and Adrianne move you like it did, is a testament to the highly emotional drama quality of the franchise. All that is to say, please continue with the series.

I'm so happy 😊😊😊 I'm starting my workout now and watching your reaction.

“Let’s roll it.” 🤣❤️

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it always makes me shed a tear. Esp at the end. "Yo Adrian, I did it" will go down in history as one of the greatest lines in cinema.

I think when Adrian says Win is the best scene in movie history.

Your face is a gift.. Never apologize for it again 😂😊

I don't know it is uncommon for people who almost die to re-evaluate what is really important in life. Rock was always a fighter, but he was trying to do the right thing by his wife. When Adrienne woke up she realized she wanted to support Rocky no matter and let him do what he felt he needed to.

Nice reaction. You need to watch more than just Rocky 3. You should watch well into the Creed movies. I just love your gasps when you’re shocked. I should create a shot drinking game whenever you gasp on video 😂

The steps is the Philadelphia Art Museum which faces down The Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards Center City. Its really a beautiful view early in the morning when theres very few people out (not that that happens anymore).

Yet another great reaction :). No need to ask us if we want you to keep watching the Rocky movies, of course we do!

Don't ask me to stop being a man, it means he has to do what a man has to do. Nobody says to Adrian you can't wear make-up, so don't ask Rocky not to fight with Apollo after he provokes him

The famous steps that Rocky runs are outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art

That building with the stairs is the Art Museum in Philadelphia. It's very beautiful or at least it used to be. I haven't been there since the early '80's.

Remember from the first movie they started dating at Thanksgiving (November). The fight was in January. Figure about at least a month for recovery after the fight. So we can assume they dated for at least four months, probably five.

The stairs in the Rocky movies are one of two of the most famous stairs in movie history,the other being the staircase in “The Exorcist “,but being the polar opposite,in Rocky he runs up the stairs and has a victory moment raising his hand,in The Exorcist,let’s just say some people fall down the stairs,I don’t want to ruin the movie for people who haven’t seen this masterpiece,let’s just say those stairs are famous for a reason

Let's (snaps) roll it.

Rocky’s name is Robert. Also, I love the “Let’s *snap* roll it”. 😄

My favorite Rocky!

Watched this earlier on your patreon, I love how invested you are in these characters after just the second movie. I really hope you watch 4, I think it you'll love it :)

The Rocky series is going to be fun.

“The turns….. have tabled.” -Amanda

My brother was born with a full head of hair... it happens. He looked just like Rocky Jr.

Rocky's story is my all-time favorite story. You have GOT to keep going, please🙏. Go all the way to Creed 2. That gives you 6 more to plan for. You will not regret it.

34:33 "I need medical assistance" Dont we all 😂😂😂

Paulie's right; ever watch "The Karate Kid?" Miyagi: Walk on road, hm? Walk right side, safe. Walk left side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later [makes squish gesture] Miyagi: get the squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," [makes squish gesture] Miyagi: just like grape. Understand? He's going to fight, but he's half-assing his training. So he won't be ready. He won't be hard and strong as he needs to be, because she keeps making it clear to Rocky that she doesn't want him to fight. She's got him constantly worried and distracted. And that will get him hurt... permanent.

There is actually 6 Rocky movies! Please react to them all!

1:14 it wasn’t about not having faith in him. Mickey just didn’t want Rocky to die in the ring.

4:12 “Why does it look like he’s gonna go down… … … … On his knees?” While that was clearly what happened, the pause was at a very awkward moment. 😂

Fun Fact: Those stairs are stairs to the Philadelphia Museum of Art

If you are still curious, if both fighters get knocked down at the same time, the ref counts to ten in the same way - if both fighters stay down for the 10 the fight would be a draw (I've never heard of this actually happening IRL though), if only one gets up before ten they win by KO and if both get up the fight continues as normal (I've seen both these scenarios happen but they are super-rare). The most picture perfect double knockdown I've ever seen was Paul Samuels vs Cello Renda - for a few seconds it really looks like Synchronised Boxing as they both miss right hands, both swing round and land left hooks on each others chins and both fall down in opposite directions. FWIW they both got back up fairly quickly though.

Nicely done Amanda, you went the distance!! 😁

Gracias amor por posibilitar que yo volviera a vivir las ricas emociones de esta película, por medio de usted, después de tantos años!

When you are a husband and father (or father to be) the weight of taking care of your family is very real, and when you can't measure up to that it really drags you down. What Paulie said to Adrian needed to be said. He could have said it nicer, but she needed to hear what he was saying.

This was a Rocky like reaction💛I really enjoyed it so thanks and I’m looking forward to your next reaction for Rocky 3✝️Have a really Nice day💫❣️

I can’t wait to see your reaction to #3 and #4. And what were you talking about at the end? Your face looks wonderful! You’re beautiful!

You'll like the first 4 Rocky's it's Rocky 5 that people are 50/50 on. It's not as great as the first 4 but it's not bad IMO

ROCKY 3?, YES, Please!

Micky told Rocky to stay down because Rocky wanted to get up right away. Micky wanted Rocky to gather himself while the countdown was early.

"both of you can have a job" This was 1976... men hadn't lost their cojones yet. It was a matter of your manhood to support your family. The destruction of the family in the US had barely just begun.

I was hoping you would throw the furniture out the window! As always, very entertaining review.

12:32 "the turns have tabled"...that pesky show called the office lol...

Ya comenzaste, así que tienes que completar la historia de Rocky, buena reacción como siempre.

Some babies are born with a lot of hair.

love the content...please don't stop you have to do the rest of the sequels...you won't regret it 😘😘

Your editing is top notch....u kept all the heartfelt scenes....alot of reactors skip over alot of things in the movie

The 3rd one is amazing!

At the top of the stairs is a art gallery

Those aren’t dirty streets,that’s the Italian Market…they were pretty dirty back then😂

You should totally watch the movie There Will Be Blood. It's such a great movie with great performances. I love Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in it.

Please continue with the rest of the rocky series

Apollo is as much of a promoter / entertainer as he is a fighter. The trash talking he was doing (@3:02) was mostly for the cameras. He wasn't being particularly serious about fighting Rocky again at that very moment.

Great video 😊

Eres Venezolana verdad? Ese "Señor dame paciencia" sonó al de mi hermana jajaja

Rocky had been pursuing Adrian for a long time, but they've been involved about 5 or 6 weeks. My parents dated for 3 weeks and were married 50 years. My mother was heartbroken when he died, and the only time I ever saw him scared, was when she was being wheeled into surgery. This modern nonsense that you have to 'date' for 400 years before getting married is just that... modern nonsense.

If both stood up at the same time, there would be a tie and the champion would retain his title. Apollo just had to rise to retain the crown

Hahaha Rocky did take her to the zoo..lol Reference from Rocky 1😂😂😂

Great reaction. Hope you watch the entire franchise! Even the weak points. ♥

28:53 It's the Philadelphia Art Museum, and it's an absolutely lovely place. If you wind up in my neck of the woods, visit it, and feel free to do the Rocky steps. Even though we like to rag on tourists doing it, we've all done it too at some point :P Incidentally, if you follow the line of that wide street straight from Rocky through the fountain and all the way through the trees, the tall masonry building exactly at the opposite end of it is City Hall. So in a sense, you HAVE seen our city council chambers, just not where you expected it The Rocky Statue that you'll see in later movies is at the bottom of the steps in an alcove though. If you need help finding it, ask someone, but under no circumstances should you let the crumb bums standing around it take your picture. They're just gonna try and bilk you for some money afterwards while they're holding your camera and they have you by the balls since you obviously want your camera\phone back. If you really need someone to take your photo, just ask someone going up or coming down the stairs and say what country you're from. We're nicer than we look, especially to foreign visitors, and ESPECIALLY to the French because the Revolutionary War is very much alive in the memory of this city (thanks for that btw)!

*Yo Amanda...* You did it
