Paulie is sad and ashamed he treated Adrian bad,that's why he doesn't want to hear the past

Old Duke was one of my favorite little gems in this movie. Man looks like at his age he could still beat the crap outta you.

The speech between ROcky and RObert always gets me.

"What is it you said to the kid? It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. Get up!" Fun Fact: Pedro Lovell reprises his role as Spider Rico, the boxer defeated by Rocky in the opening scene of Rocky (1976). Authentic Battle Damage Fact: The bout between Rocky and Dixon was filmed with actors Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Tarver really hitting one another. According to Stallone, not a single punch in the fight was pulled, and every hit on film was a hit for real. Furthermore, Stallone has revealed that the scene where Rocky is knocked down for a 9 count, and is trying to get to his feet by taking hold of the rope, but is having difficulty focusing on it, is completely genuine; Tarver really did knock him down, and he really couldn't get up. Location Location Fact: During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out. Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup. As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor, whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd. Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began a "ROCKY, ROCKY" chant. The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters.

Still brings tears.

I get choked up every time I see that scene where he talks to Paulie about "the stuff in the basement"... it's that damn music, I tell ya

I love this movie. It's got a real heart at its core.

Yeah, love this film. No villains. Lot of heart like the first one.

rockhead is an inspiration. this was a very good movie.

I think she may have missed that the computer simulation was comparing them in their primes.

you would think that this kind of movie, after all these years, just can't be good. that it just impossible to make any sort of justice. and I don't know how they did it, but they just made it so good. so powerful. everything best about rocky franchise was here. for it me definitely sits right next to rocky 1 Now, let's go Creed! very good movies too!

The boxer Jack Dempsey had a restaurant in New York City. In fact, I have an autographed photo of him with a WW 2 soldier and his wife. It's in a nice folding vinyl book. Yes, a lot of ex pro sports figures have restaurant's. We used to eat at a place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania owned by a Pittsburgh Steeler. That's their football franchise.

Please remember he is a streetfighter that's where he learned to fight, and he needed to know how to fight to help with collect for Mr Gazzo

I really enjoy and appreciate your reactions to this incredible series, Michal, thank you! I look forward to your reactions to the Creed films, as well. Again, thanks so much for your straight-from-the-heart reactions.

The first film is my favorite as well. I think the reason is that it involves Rocky and Adrian finding each other and finding strength in each other so that they can both grow as people and also the ending with its triumphant music when he lost the fight....but won in proving to himself that he was more than even he believed and the victory of the love that he and adrian share. Winning the boxing match was completely unimportant......the story was an entire victory.

The pink shirt looks cool 👚😎

When Robert says "dont you care that ppl are making you out to be joke..?" He is correct to an extent. Stallone at this point was washed up, his acting career had really fallen on hard times. He was more of a parody rather than a serious actor. The drama he first started out with had long disappeared from the public eye aside from his fans. So when rocky was announced, NO ONE bought it. Stallone said he had to convince movie executives to give him a shot, and he knew that this was his only shot to gain some respect back, and I remember my doubts where i thought "hes OLD! what can he do?" Well ROcky balboa is not only a great ending, a great movie, but many people's favorite movies. And the success proved that rocky and stallone weren't out yet.

If you want some more Rocky... you will definitely want to watch the "Creed" series of movies. Stallone is excellent in those films as well. Great review!

My rank would be 1,6,4,3,2,5. Actually I´am still waiting for someone who doesn´t put Rocky 1 on top.😁 Amazing reaction as always Michal💖

The Creed movies are great! You should do them too. My list: 1 2 (Creed) Rocky Balboa (Creed 2) 3 4 5

Thank you for sharing 🙏🌹

All the speeches are all from Sly himself. Not from a writer or so, thats all Sly thinking of / and about life.

Do Creed 1 and 2 cause they have Stallone. He won an award playing Rocky in Creed 1.

Showwwwwwww🎥🎥🎥

🥊 🥊🥊🥊🥊 reaction

not only have i not watched creed, but ive been avoiding reactions to it too, because thats my style.. but if you watch it, i promise ill watch.. and if you dont watch, i promise i wont watch ;)

Great reaction and commentary! Please watch the Creed movies.I've watched all your reactions to the Rocky series and occasionally reactions to other movies. Rocky is my favorite movie series, the characters become like family. As you said the series is all about " " "Heart"! Every movie in the series makes you laugh, cry and get juiced. But Rocky's story is not over. Creed & Creed 2 are not really spinoffs to the Rocky movies, there are sequels. Rocky Balboa is not a supporting character in the Creed movies, he is a co-star. To finish Rocky's story you have watch Creed and Creed 2. In 2021 Stallone re-edited Rocky IV, because he was unsatisfied with the original 1985 theatrical version. 2021 director's cut of Rocky 4 is extremely different from the original. Stallone took 40 minutes of footage from the original out of the movie and replaced it with 43 minutes of footage he did not use in the original. The result is a much more dramatic film more focused on the relationship between Rocky and Adrian and more focused on the friendship between Rocky and Apollo. Stallone takes out all the corny stuff like the Robot. The director's cut speeches are much better than the ones he used in the original 1985 version. Stallone also makes Drago a lot more human less of a robot. Stallone edits the boxing scenes to appear more realistic and exciting. "Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago The Ultimate Director's Cut" is a much better version than the original version, and more intone with the rest of the Rocky and Creed movies. It is hard for my to watch the original 1985 theatrical version of Rocky IV at this point because the 2021 version is so much better in my opinion. I would love to see your reaction to the Directors Cut which could be streamed on Amazon prime ( in the US anyways) and your reaction to Creed movies. I think it would be appropriate to watch the director's cut either before you start Creed, or after you finish Creed 2. Great job once again I sincerely hope you finish Rocky story with the Creed Movies ( I think you would do yourself a disservice by not watching the Creed movies) and watch a much better grownup version of Rocky 4. The trailer to the Director's Cut of Rocky 4 is in the link below IV.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ateaiZOTp5i6YIU.html

I'd be willing to convert for you, Michal... ...to the metric system.

You edit out the whole fight bad reaction

The acting at the bar with the local young girl it’s just horrible and that would never happen to an ex two time world champion people would literally excited just to see him and asking him a bunch of questions that sort of disrespect would never happen it’s like disrespecting Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali it would never happen it’s so unrealistic.

I've been awaiting your reaction to Creed for a long time, now, it's coming next, this is a perfect example of a franchise coming full circle 💯🌚💯.
