Fun fact- The Black dude that’s Apollo’s coach is one of the best chess players in the world in real life.
Upon a deeper dive, his name is Tony Burton.
While filming this movie, Dolph “the Russian” actually punched Stallone so hard in the chest he had to be hospitalized. His heart swelled and almost killed him. To be fair, he told Dolph to really hit him 😂
Yeah....he wanted some action where it was all out.
Dolph was a high level full contact karate champion with a 50 pound weight advantage...so probably wasn't the best idea Sly ever had.
I do admire the lengths some actors will go in fight scenes like that. If I remember correctly Heath Ledger really wanted Christian Bale to hit him in the face, and Valentina Schevchenko cracked Halley Berry’s ribs with a side-shot kick.
Dolph was also a European karate champion... Lol
Yeah I just saw the TH-cam short on this they said something about his heart touched his rib and sly was in the ICU FOR 9 DAYS! When I saw the short listed I clicked on it immediately wow your subscribers are trivia geniuses!
Stallone is one of the few actors who truly suffered through his craft to make realistic fight sequences. In the original Expendables, he separated his shoulder when he was fighting Stone Cold Steve Austin.
25:43 "The place he's staying at.....it's still better than Detroit" Best line in the whole video, and at just the right moment when Rocky yells. It's like he agrees with you LOL
My hometown always catching strays 😂
Know exactly what you're talking about with old man strength. My grandpa was 70 years old and gave me a hug. Dude nearly crushed my ribcage.
If you compare Drago's glove touch with Rocky during Round 1 rough glove touch "I must break you." to Round 15's gentle glove touch "To the end" you know he respected Rocky for being tough.
"PAULIE" BURT YOUNG- served a tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959. While in the Marine Corps, he won 32 of 34 boxing bouts. He later became a professional boxer and compiled a 17-0 record under three aliases. His manager was Cus D'Amato.
"Pauly gonna f*** that robot."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude you have become my favorite reactor.
Dolph Lungrens reaction when coming out from under the ring to see James Brown was real....no one told him what was about to happen so he was, for lack of a better term, star struck.
when you're down and out, a little angel is gonna whisper in your ear and say "get up you son of a bitch, 'cause Mickey loves ya"!
"He been taken that Barry Bonds medicine"🤣🤣🤣🤣
No easy way out is performed by Robert Tepper and it is a banger. Gotta give Sly credit. He knew the importance of a good soundtrack and every film in the Rocky series brings it.
The whole soundtrack is great
“YOU CAN’T WIN!” Gets me every time.
Tony Burton was the GOAT. Such an underrated actor. So much conviction.
He was close friends with Stanley Kubrick and they played chess together. He's in the longer US version of The Shining.
*"He's all wrong for us baby......I saw you beat that man like I never saw no man get beat before and the man kept coming AFTER YOU.....We don't need that kind of man in our life"*
Still the best line in any Rocky movie PERIOD
@Helicoptersrkool The snowcat dude!
Fun fact , Stallone asked Dolf to hit him for real and Dolf (begrudgingly) did and downed him . The hospital didn't believe it was from boxing and that they were trying to get out of a car wreck insurance.
Also Dolf is an incredibly intelligent guy . chemical engineering from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the early 1980s and a master's degree in chemical engineering .
He was also a European Karate champion before he did this movie. So he can legitimately kick ass!
and he likes to hang Pirates
Dolph gave a TED talk and it was amazing! Here is the link -
th-cam.com/video/iNOE0dZpHcY/w-d-xo.html
And if I’m not mistakenDolph had a black belt, I think it was taekwondo
Or maybe Karate
"Chubbs is tryin hard to be Sean Bean aint he?"....i bout spit out my beer dude....keep those one liners coming!
"You become broadcasters" 🤣
I like how the dogs came over to watch the last fight. They try to look casual but thinking "I gotta see this".
They filmed more than one ending. In the director's cut, after Rocky gives the "Everybody can change" speech, Gorbachev doesn't stand up and applaud. Instead, he stands up and leaves and all of his men follow, leaving Drago's promotor all alone.
I'm surprised they left the part in where Rocky says his kid is supposed to be home in bed... late night in Russia would be the middle of the afternoon in Philly.
@@Mr.Ekshin That was done on purpose, because Rocky doesn't really think too much before saying how he feels.
This was eventually meant to reflect the need for the Two Super Powers to ease tensions of possible nuclear war. And it was Mr. Gorbachev who tore down that wall
Rocky trained for endurance because he knew he couldn't beat drago with strength, he needed to take everything drago could throw his way and wear drago down physically and mentally.
The mustache'd ring announcer is Leroy Nieman. He was a great contemporary artist. You've seen his work and never knew it. He did the paintings in rocky 3, including the last freeze frame of Rocky and Apollo throwing their punches. He's done just about every major athlete of the 20th century. He died sometime within the last decade. You look at him and he doesn't strike you as a painter. But he was definitely unique.
And he was in Rocky 3 during Rocky's first training montage with Clubber drawing Rocky training.
@@russellward4624 And as the announcer in the match with Thunderlips.
And he has an epic mustache
'Old Glory' is a name for the American flag. 😊
This reaction was a very fun watch-along. Thank you. Dolph Lundgren won against thousands of other actors to land the role of Ivan Drago. After Creed's being a showman, and Clubber's being a brash loudmouth who yells 90% of the time, I appreciated Ivan's quiet no nonsense stoic vibe. A warrior that does his 'talking' in the ring.
Was just popping down here to mention thatbit about Old Glory. 🙂
I think the nickname was supposed to be a double meaning. It seemed like a back handed way of saying that Apollo was all old and washed up.
Former amateur wrestler here… when practice got difficult, coach would throw on the Rocky soundtrack to pump us up! Worked every time!
If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend watching Cinderella Man. One hell of a boxing movie and based on a true story.
Absolutely must watch, bring tissue though.
absolutely, yes. THIS!
Oh hell yes. Russell Crowe plays the lead, and he is a GOAT.
Gym muscles make you strong but they don’t make you tough. A big goof like that isn’t used to someone just coming after him, so that’s what you need to do. He hits hard but he can’t hit you hard if he’s too busy defending himself
I love the moment before the fight when Paulie says "I know some times I say and do stupid things but if I could step outside of myself and become someone else it would be you Rocky. You're all heart." That speech turned my feelings of being meh about Paulie into liking him. That was some real from the heart shit to say to someone who's about to fight a man that killed his last opponent. Almost like he thought it might be the last thing he got to tell Rocky
But, then you go right back to square one once he changes his mind after seeing Drago. And, of course, what we find out he's done before leaving America on this trip
“If I could unzip myself”🤣 pure Paulie
This installment had that larger than life feel. Sad the first time seeing Creed getting pummeled like that. He went out the way he wanted to. I really loved seeing Duke and Rocky together, they had the best corner dialogue.
Hit the one in the middle.
Best advice ever. haha
"The count of monte fisto"
Alright I'm fucking dead, that's hilarious.
You damn right Chubb's got manners. You saw him stand up when the woman left. It's a lost art unfortunately. Manners that is.
Brigitte Nielsen was married to Stallone when this movie was made You want to see a movie where she looks REALLY good check out "Red Sonja". Another fun fact about Dolph sometime in the 90's a couple of burglars broke into his house while he wasn't there and tied up his wife and kids. While they were ransacking the house they saw the pictures and realized this was Drago's house and they ran away.
Bridgette's journey in life was like Rocky going from sports cars to working in that meat packing plant in the 2nd movie.
"I'm not climbing this mountain!" 😁
For more of Stallone in the mountains, the wild Renny Harlin directed Cliffhanger.
The Russian "chaperones" watching Rocky were spies, KGB agents.
Bridgette Nielson was a really good looking woman and yes, she has lived a hard life. But remember:This was her in 1985, in her 20's, 37 years ago.
After all,, Father time is undeated😅
Great reaction!
Yep. Back then, the Soviet Union was known as The Iron Curtain because communism was the order of the day and things that happened in Russia was very secretive. They saw everyone, but especially Westerners, especially Americans as enemies.
So, most people were given tails made up of KGB agents to keep an eye on possible spies
26:54 There isnt a reaction that youve done that hasnt made me laugh until I cried. You are a true natural. Thanks as always
I know that grown man strength 😂 Its that "I worked in manual labor for 25 years" strength. The type of man you never wanna mess with
“Ah, damn shame what happened to Apollo” lmao.
When you know you know.
Your reaction was hilarious! Especially when you called Apollo "Chubbs". I can't look at Creed the same way without thinking about his wooden hand. "He about to beat the Kunta Kinte out of Chubbs, ain't he?" Too funny! Keep up your great reactions!
I thought, oh JL's going to regret how accurate that joke is just about to be. 😭🤣
14:27 if he dies, he dies. Badass line 🔥🔥🔥
What was also so crazy about this movie is that Adrian, Rocky's rock, as it were, with the line "You cant win!" Just dont expect that from Adrian after all they went through. It was a dramatic moment in the series in my opinion.
She was scared that he was going to die too.
Dolph terrified a home intruder just by his portrait that they left an apology letter. This is a true story.
Yeah I’m pretty sure the full story is that some guy broke into his house while his wife was there and he saw the picture and recognized him from Rocky IV and got so terrified that he left the house immediately and apologized
I may be wrong, if so correct me but I think this is how it played out
"Paulie's gonna fuck that robot" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 One of the best lines i've ever heard during this movie . Great reaction dude 😂😂
I don't know if Paulie f*cked the robot -- but he definitely taught it to talk dirty to him. ;)
That one killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy, man. Probably has an electric v-----, or something. Electrocution in Paulie's future, I think.😮
What made it even funnier was that all of us sat watching, in unison, said "Yep." 🤣😂🤣
And even better when you know that he's in the process of f****** the Balboas'life completely right about that time
This movie is like 60% musical montage, but it's still great. People hate on 5 a lot, but I watched it as a kid, so it resonated for me for reasons I won't spoil. But the follow up to that... the legacy sequel Rocky 6 is probably top 3 Rocky movies ever.
Great reaction and dialogue - This is my favorite Rocky film in the Rocky Universe.
"Chubbs got manners."
Lol, nice catch 🤣🤣🤣
Man...I watched this right before I left for the Navy. When he cut Drago, I lost my piss and vingar shit. I stood up and yelled, right there in the movie house in Jonesboro Arkansas. DRAAAAAAGGGGOOOOO!!!
You are the best! Love your reaction videos and your insight! I am 47 years old and have watched all these movies a dozen times. Your statement about Rocky sounding dumb cause he don't think with his head he talks from his heart, my mind was blown. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions!
Best part of this video: 00:15 "Y'all can't see 'em, but they right here." Tail wag 🐶
Grown man strength! 😂 ain’t no joke
"I'm gonna need someone to explain what happened to her..."
Cocaine... it's a helluva drug... 😅
Beverly Hills Cop 2, Cobra, and Red Sonja for some more pre-Flav Brigitte
"No Easy Way Out" is easily one of the greatest soundtrack songs ever.
I believe this was better than the Survivor track, and they always brought the goods.
With Pauly, I think it's less that people like him more, but rather they stop hating him and pity him for being pathetic.
The beautiful thing about the Rocky movies was that no matter who you are, you deserve a second chance and redemption.
the song is by Robert Tepper No Easy Way Out. This is a great, emotional series, true to the heart of people and how they feel. They have a way of gripping your heart. Another part of the movie is when Adrian ( Rocky's wife ) comes to visit him & when Paulie tells Rocky on his walk to the fight, when he says if, he could unzip himself, step out and be someone else, he would want to be him ( Rocky ) thats the part of the movie that got me and, when he says to his little boy after the fight on tv, Merry Christmas kid, i love you.
Man, I'm so glad you left in Paulie's scene with Rocky right before the fight. It's my favorite scene and I figured you'd react just as you did. And as usual, you've got the funniest comments. Great job!
You have to remember when this movie came out, it was during the Cold War. So, the Soviet Union was our mortal enemy at that time.
I love how every time you mentioned your co-pilots or pointed in their direction, a wagging tail appeared over the covers.
A lot of people suffer from Eczema. However I’m one of the unlucky ones who managed to not develop it on my skin where it’s annoying but easily treated but inside my ear canals and eardrums. All that to say, at just 40 I’ve lost a lot of hearing in both ears. When people talk around me it sounds like hearing people talk under water. That’s why I keep myself distracted with TH-cam videos. I can put on headphones and turn it all the way up so I can hear. As I’ve said before multiple times, you’re my #1 absolute favorite. I’m also a dog lover and it makes me so happy to see them right along side you. Especially the one that sits up for attention. It’s hilarious and adorable! It’s easy to see you’re a good person just by the way your dogs love you so much and trust you. I love how they get up to check on you while watching scary movies and you’re startled by a jump scare.
All of that long windedness just to ask…what are your dog’s names? I can quite hear it enough when you’ve said them. I think the one that sits up is either Drogo or Drogon. Am I close? I can’t tell what the white dog’s name is at all. Help a girl out
Fun fact about Burt Young the actor who plays Paulie. He was a heavyweight boxer in 60s and 70s and. Back when Stallone was doing publicity for one of his movies Sly had a heavybag set up and did some heavybag work for the reporters. I guess it was decent...he was working good and hitting harder than your average guy would.
After he got done Burt (Paulie) threw on the gloves and started smashing the heavybag.
All the reporters looked, shocked. Just goes to show you can't judge skills by appearance.
No way he was a heavyweight. Paulie ain't over 5'6".
@@ckobo84 prior to the late 1970s anyone was a heavyweight if they were over 180 lb there was no Cruiserweight division.
Having said that I'm not sure what weight he was, but according to George Chuvalo he did work as George's sparring partner a few times and there are photos online of Burt young and in shape in a fighting pose.
But it's hard to say exactly how good he was because he seems to have definitely been a BSer (he told Chuvalo he's Puerto Rican...he isn't).
Bur given the fact that he did spar with someone the level of George Chuvalo he was definitely the best boxer on the set for the early Rocky movies at least.
This has been my favorite soundtrack since I got ahold of my dads cassette tape. There is a 3 way tie for my favorite Rocky. Rocky III and Rocky Balboa are the other two. AWESOME reaction!
Really? LOL. I’m not saying I don’t like Rocky III and IV because I do. But they’re crap compared to I and II.
"It looks like a catcher's mitt"
Cuz he never blocks lol
His son got jokes
So true about the railroad shit, I was a train conductor and every old conductor you met had grip strength like they could tear your arm off and beat you over the head with it.
Flavour Flave! Man please stop you're killing me i haven't laughed that hard in ages 😂.
In '89 when I was 9 I would sneak into my older brother's room and use his Walkman to listen to this soundtrack. It was, is so badass. My bro also had an Arnold S. Mr. Universe poster and a Rambo survival knife. Classic.
I was visiting my daughter and missed a great reaction! Worth it. My kid is my favorite person.
Greatest movie and best soundtrack. The "No way out" and him driving off montage was so well done. Also has one of my favorite songs in "Sweetest Victory" What a great soundtrack, what a great movie, what a great decade.
Been waiting all week for this. I love Sly. I remember people saying, back in the day that Apollo's performance lasted longer than his fight with the Drago. :) I enjoyed this reaction.
Tough day for us Jay, our doggie may have severe heart issues, we ll find out in morn. Please pray for our co pilot
I hope everything works out. Dogs are the best people on earth!
@@ObjectiveEthics thank you Daniel
🙏
Dude you are so funny. Nobody is funnier than you in reactions. Nobody
HELLO EXTRA...YOU MAY KNOW BY NOW BUT THE "DRAGO" PLAYED BY DOLPH LUNDGREAN FROM SWEDEN WAS IN REAL LIFE A PROFESSIONAL KICK BOXER! BIG BOY HE WAS!
I knew Paulie’s speech would get to you. Before Flavor Flav she was married to Stallone. Adrian was wearing Vegeta boots when she showed up in Russia.🤘🏼
Brother, your old man strength explanation is absolitely spot on.I know Exactly what you mean.
He (Carl W) also gets killed in Death Hunt (1981) with Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and Angie Dickinson. Definitely a movie you should watch. I'm surprised more people haven't reacted to that one. It's about the 1931 manhunt for The Mad Trapper in Canada. Blood City!.😮
😂😂 first time you called Apollo "chubbs" I lost my shit😂😂
"Paulie gonna **** that robot..." 🤣🤣🤣
The robot scenes are so bizarre 😅 It's like someone showed Sly a goofy prop and he fell in love with it.
It was actually for Sly's autistic son. They decided to write it into the movie.
Cobra also had a montage with robot props. Guess you had to be there.
It defined the 80’s tho lol
Sylvester says to Dolph whilst making this movie "treat it like a real fight."
14:07 the dog 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Extraordinarily Ordinary Media. Loved the reaction. Thank You for showing real emotion it is what made us fall in love with your channel many months ago. Love your real fandom real anger and real discussion after the films. Keep doing you we adore it
I don't think anyone thought you would ever like Paulie. But that stuff with the robot is just too good to miss.
My favorite part is "I will break you" then rocky saying "Go for it"
And as a Michigander ill take the Detroit burn... 😂😢
Love that you love this movie and this series. I don't care for Rocky 5. Rocky 6 "Rocky balboa" is awesome. I'm surprised you didn't show the seen where drago says about Rocky, "he's like a piece of iron" love that scene.
Aww Paulie you're not about to make me cry...don't do that!! LMFAO
LOL you right, Carl Weathers was almost the American Sean Bean of the 80s/Early 90s
Where the shot the stuff in Russia was really Wyoming. Near my home town. It gets colder than Siberia every year. You bet your ass I ran in the snow listening to this soundtrack!
Yessss just got off work!!!! My man about to watch the most legendary rocky aside from 1 and rocky balboa can't wait for that one to crush him 😂🤣❤🙌 thanks for the great reactions always makes my day seeing you watch classics!!
Not a lot of people know that Dolph Lundgren was a genius who attended MIT and other colleges, and that he was in a relationship with Grace Jones at the time, which maybe wasn't so genius. He said that the Grace Jones orgies wore him out. Couldn't keep up.
You head banging at the beginning. Lmao. Your pup was giving you the side eye like what the world
I love how you kept asking for an explanation about Brigitte Nielsen 😂
Other than the first Rocky, this one is a favorite! The soundtrack get my adrenalin flowing!
Oh, and this music will make you feel like you could go out and fight anything or anybody.
Please check out the director's cut of this movie. It's called Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago. I love this movie, but I think the new cut is even better. Stallone's performance is better in certain scenes, and Apollo's character gets treated with more dignity. Plus there's a little more of Adrian. Please check it out. It's on Amazon Prime.
Hmm, I might check this out this weekend.
Does it cut Paulie's Robot Wife?
Yes it does. And it's just fine without her.
Chubbs is the star of the great movie Action Jackson, so there’s a good chance of him surviving. He’s also a recurring character on The Mandalorian.
I wanna know how these refs still have jobs, in there watching men get beat to death 😂
This has to be the only movie "product placement" for Church's Chicken in history. 5:40
14:54 - "Chubbs has got killed in every movie I've seen him in."
If you wanna watch a movie where Carl Weathers' character lives, watch "Action Jackson" (1988).
The jacket and hat Rocky is wearing when he gets to Russia looks awful familiar. I’d bet those are from the other Stallone / Nielsen movie, Cobra (but she is wearing them).
Speaking of which, you should check out Cobra! Got an awesome car in that one!
that is an awesome underrated gem of the 80s action flicks....the villain Brian Thompson and his knife were super scary in the 80s! i know, i was there....born in 80 so saw that film and many others while my mom was waitressing at night and my dad rented horror/action movies for us to watch.....Cobra is right up there with films like Seven for psychological thrillers...great movie.
You left out the most iconic line in the movie! Where Duke says "You see!? He's not a machine! He's not a machine, he's a man!!" And Drago ironically says "He is not human...he is like a piece of iron..."
Such a good reaction - loved the comments about that guy's mustache!
This sound track is great but my favorite is the Guardians of the Galaxy. I use to play that one on repeat when I worked for Macy's.
Fun fact. Scarlett Johansson was to play Apollo Creed in the series but thought it didn't have enough range.
Brigette Nielsen, age 54 was 6 or 7 months pregnant while shooting Creed 2. Stallone and Nielsen, ex-spouses have kept it "professional" while shooting Creed 2
Dude. That Kunta Kinte line 🤣🤣🤣 I’m going to hell for laughing at that. Damn you! 😂 LeRoy Neiman was the ring announcer and did many famous boxing paintings. Including the Rocky and Apollo private round first/dual punch scene.
Getting that Barry Bonds medicine. Dude i bout peed my pants. You are so awesome. Lol. 😂😂😂😂
