Phil and Kate react to the 2006 film "Rocky Balboa" and Kate has never seen it before!🥊
Now long-retired, Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) runs a Philadelphia eatery and mourns the loss of his beloved wife, Adrian. Yearning to recapture a bit of his glory days, he plans to re-enter the ring for a few low-profile, local matches. All that changes when Rocky accepts a challenge to fight the world's reigning heavyweight champion, Mason "the Line" Dixon (Antonio Tarver).

Stallone is amazing in Creed 1 and 2, He won Golden Globes best supporting actor for Creed 1 (and nominated for Oscar)

I think Marie's speech to Rocky in the car is seriously underrated. Fighters fight. She really channeled Adrian in Rocky 3 in that moment to me.

rocky in his own words, was never happy with rocky 5, and he didnt want it to finish that way, thats why he made this one, and he knocked out the park, my fav rockies in order 2. 1. balboa, 3. 4 and 5 , i was brought up with these movies, im 60 years old

The most recent thing Stallone's said publically about "Rocky V" was during a 2020 Facebook Live watchalong of the first movie: "I think it's underrated." He's changed his mind since that one interview years ago everyone likes to bring up.

The original Rocky 3 statue was moved down to street level and a new statue was recently put in at the top of the steps. Friend of mine and her son made the walk up the steps a year or two ago when they went to Philly for their birthdays. Walking up those steps is one of my bucket list items.

George Foreman made a comeback two decades after he lost the heavyweight title. Mike Tyson is fighting Jake Paul this summer. This is the second movie in a row Rocky fought a real life pro boxer.

who do you have between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul? to me its hard to imagine Mike Tyson losing lol

Actually there is a third if you include a pro kick boxer with Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV.

@havok6280 Ай бұрын

@vincenzo4jm incorrect. Dolph Lundgren did a brilliant job playing the fictional Russian boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV but no, Lundgren is not or never has been a real life professional boxer. He was a talented martial artist back in the day, specialising in Kyokushin karate.

Rocky Balboa is the final Rocky movie, Creed is a different franchise, it features Rocky but it’s not a Rocky movie it’s a Creed movie hence the name…

Rocky I: Rocky gets his big break Rocky II: Rocky establishes his foundation Rocky III: Rocky overcomes major adversity Rocky IV: Rocky is on top of the world Rocky V: Rocky goes back to his roots Rocky Balboa: Rocky has one last stand

So here's the deal with the brain damage stuff from "Rocky V": In March of 2006, Stallone had a sneak preview of "Rocky Balboa" in Philadelphia and the run time of that version was close to 2 1/2 hrs. There were scenes where Rocky took brain tests and they discovered that he had been misdiagnosed back in the day because technology now is much better than it was in 1986 (where "Rocky V" starts out; apparently what Rocky was revealed to have really had was a severe concussion). MGM told Stallone they weren't releasing a 2 1/2 hr Rocky movie and to cut it down to an hour forty-five. Amongst the many scenes that had to go was all of the stuff dealing with "Rocky V," chiefly because it wasn't germane to the story at hand ("You've passed your tests with flying colors and we congratulate you for that" was deemed "good enough" by MGM). When Stallone was doing the talk show circuit for "Balboa," the brain damage in V thing was still fresh on everybody's minds and all the hosts asked him about it and Stallone would explain why Rocky's okay now since MGM made him take that stuff out and it wasn't in the movie anymore.

also, this fight, was filmed at a full fight programme in vegas, the crowd is reall, the commentators are real, they had limited time to film it between the real fights on the show card, thats why the filiming looks different from rocky, but like a real true fight
