Carl Weathers did an awesome job with that role. When you watch as a kid you don't really notice I guess, but now I can't ignore how great he was as Apollo.
@@Dkdkd234 I read that when Stallone saw him in the auditions, Weathers wasn't happy with something and kicked off on a rant, and Stallone was like that's the guy.
Rocky is a fantastic series. It speaks to men on a deep level about overcoming fear, seemingly insurmountable odds, and fighting your own demons to help others and be the best you can be. And he will go to crazy lengths to provide for his family, and be an example for his son. Rocky struggles throughout, and has his own flaws. He really is the every man.
The character of Rocky is one that i get inspired with. I consider myself a man's man, but each of his movies bring a tear to my eye, because I can identify with his struggle to not allow life kick him down for good, but always come back up stronger. Not to mention, in 2006 I was going through my own personal crusade, and when I saw Rocky 6 in the theater, it really touched me like a breath of fresh air. From his speech to his son outside the restaurant, to him telling Paulie that he still feels like he has something left to offer the squared circle, the regrets that Paulie had for the way he treated Adrian, and when he faced his opponent in Vegas and went the distance his son telling him "everyone thought this match was gonna be a joke, including me. Now no one is laughing". I have to say that it helped me get myself together, work my ass off, and become the man I am today. Sly, I am not sure if you read these comments, but if you do, I want to say thank you for sharing such an iconic character with us. So many of us have been inspired by him to get back up when life hits us hard. Once again, thank you Rick
Rocky is the ultimate underdog story, fictional or not. One of the greatest films of all time. I've seen Rocky more times than I can remember. One time Rocky was playing on TV and I was getting ready for work. Even though I knew how it ended I couldn't look away, let's just say I was late for work. My boss was pissed but when I told him that was watching Rocky, he completely understood. Also, fuck the Notebook, this is what makes me cry.
Manny Pacquiao's real life story is much greater than Rocky's story. Pacquiao faced more poverty and adversity than Rocky. He went without food, didn't have a house, and had to sleep on the streets. Emmanuel Pacquiao grew up in poverty in a 3rd world country. He then became an 8-division world champion, then he ran for President of his country.
Rocky to me is the greatest series ever made. It inspires me in all aspects of life to never give up and to push through all the struggles we face each and every day. I almost never cry, but these movies almost always make me tear up. The line that always hits me the most and makes me tear up is the end of rocky 2 after the fight with Apollo when he says “I just wanna say one thing to my wife who’s at home. Yo Adrian I did it” then she replies with tears in her eyes saying “I love you” just typing it is almost making me tear up. Such an amazing series and an amazing story. I can not thank you enough sly.
That's a great scene. I think a really overlooked scene in part 1 is when Rocky tells Adrian he can't beat Apollo the night before the fight but that he wants to go the distance so he can prove to himself that he isn't just another but from the neighborhood. That scene has so much emotion, character development, depth and awareness. It's brilliant.
@@zloungeact agreed man that’s a very good scene as well. Stallone himself said rocky is a drama first that has boxing in it not the other way around. And I think that’s what makes the movies not just sports movies, but on a whole new level entirely because they’re real and relatable. The series has so many brilliant moments/scenes. The music is on another level too.
@@alexguiral8631 That might be true, as Rocky respected and loved Apollo. Really seems like something that’s In Rocky’s character to do too. Honestly, I think that he was being honest. It’s probably the best mystery of the franchise though.
12:45 Actually Rocky Told Adonis Creed that Creed did win that fight in Creed (2015). But fans aren't sure that creed did actually win or Rocky said that to Adonis just to maintain dignity of his late father in his mind
As a 45 year old that loves boxing and combat sports this literally sums up my getting interested in the world! Plus I grew up 30 minutes outside of philly. This kinda made me emotional if we gonna be honest here
The Rocky saga is incredible.I remember seeing all the Rocky movies and finally have the chance to see Rocky Balboa on the big screen.The words from Rocky to son is what I wished my father would have said to me if he was alive and did not die when I was 9.It helps me in dark times still.The Rocky movies inspires us all to overcome struggles and hardships.💪💪😎😎
Dude, you totally left out such a critical moment that was absolutely pivitol to the story! When Adrian looks at Rocky in 2 and says "win". That is what pushed him over and gave him the edge that made him champion!
I really enjoyed the way you presented this character. He literally only exists in movies, but the spirit of Rocky is as real as any emotion. Well done!
Can’t leave any Rocky movie out when you tell the story. I liked 5 a lot. Still do. There’s a lot of great life lessons to be learned in that one. Good job on the video.
Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang & especially Ivan Drago would all be my suggestions. As for Clubber Lang (portrayed by Mr. T), my mom was actually from Chicago herself. Also, you should try doing documentaries on other types of martial artists like Bolo Yeung (he played Chong-Li in Bloodsport and also was in the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon). Bruce Lee is another guy you could do a documentary on.
Only four people knew the result of the third and untelevised fight... Balboa, Apollo, his wife, and Adonis Creed...Rocky told Adonis it was his father who won, that he was the superior fighter. Rocky had no reason to lie to Adonis and he always thought Creed was the best fighter who ever lived.
He did reveal that Apollo Creed won the 3rd fight and to all those who say that Rocky just said that out of respect, it’s not hard at all to believe Apollo Creed won because he was always a better fighter than Rocky was skill wise. In the 2nd fight it clearly showed who was the superior fighter in the ring Creed won every round except 2 rounds that being going into the 10th the judge said Apollo lost his first round and then you could say Rocky won the 15th and he barely beat Apollo by 1 second if Apollo stood up he would’ve won by unanimous decision. So in a private match I could see Apollo still being the superior fighter but this time Rocky doesn’t have the crowd behind him pushing him to keep fighting it’s all down to the 2 men and their skill without the pressure of the media or having to prove anything to anyone outside of themselves. So I see no reason that Rocky would lie he has always been a stand up guy and true to his word. With that being said Rocky and Apollo were both amazing characters and I loved their coming together as friends and wish it lasted longer throughout the series. I wish they had a director’s cut of that 3rd fight to reveal to the public because it’s one of the biggest mysteries in the history of film. Basically like the Emerald Tablets of film and had the movie Creed not come out and gave us an answer it would still be up in the air on who won. Stallone is a genius and will forever be a legend for giving us this wonderful franchise that has taught me many lessons throughout my life as I’m sure it has done for millions of people around the world of all ages
It's a trip how when you're a kid, you don't notice how awful Rocky's punches are. For example, he never gets full extension on his punches, no matter how many years he's been doing it. But, obviously none of that matters in the grand scheme of the story. As always, Steve...you did another fantastic job of telling the " tale of the tape " . 🤙👏
Brother Strangles , I’m loving all your great content my Bwah!!! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re a talented person! Fight the good fight brother!!! God bless you brother and yours!!!
I remember the first time I saw the first one I was 5 and I thought Carl Weathers was an actual boxer cause of how amazing of a job he did and how he moved and everything. These movies are to this day my favorites to watch especially if I need a good pick me up.
I have loved many of your videos, but this is, by far, your best work! You showed an understanding of the totality of the Rocky franchise that I never appreciated. It proves the genius of the project. I'm really blown away. It's gonna take me a couple of days to sort through all this.
What I love about Rocky yes the story line and characters but I also love the fact that Stallone was representing South Paws and how an unconventional fighter could be Champion of the World in the greatest boxing division of all truly inspirational and ahead of its time.
man, that was great. Rocky is my favorite movie of all time and you are quickly becoming my favorite TH-camr with these short docs. Keep it up, homie. You're doing great. Rocky would be proud.
Steven, thank you. Rocky Balboa has been an inspiration since I was a kid and the main reason behind my love for all fighting sports. This video was truly incredible, reminded me of why I loved the character and movie series so much, filled me with nostalgia and brought some tears to my eyes. I salute you, sir.
I used to weigh 350+ pounds. Then i just changed. I’d wake up at 6am, put on Rocky, and do 100 push ups. Started following Stallone’s diet from Rocky 2 (except for the trenbologna sandwiches). Powerful films.
@@madfutter4424 I’m a lean 190-200 pounds lately. Can bench well over my own body weight. Had my first child, have a career. I’ve accepted responsibility in my life. I advise everyone to dig deep. Find their inner Rocky. You are the product of 130,000+ years of evolution- you are made to be great.
Good job. Stallones best acting performance. I love the part when micky wants to be in his corner when he gets the fight with Apollo and rocky tells him off then runs down the street to bring him back. Amazing.
Love the channel. Just wanna say thanks. For real. I am a huge rocky fan. I respect you for treating and the series with class. I was so afraid you would make fun of the faults. Oh and I noticed how you skipped V all together. Smart move. It was very well done
Creed literally plucked Rocky out of obscurity to the world stage... Mickey and Creed without working together made him become a world class fighter, a force to be reckoned with... Adrian was his true north, supporting him in the stands, all the beatings he took in the ring, she took them with him! Rocky did it but Mickey, Adrian, and Apollo are the unsung heroes of the Rocky saga!
Yo dude thank you. Rocky has the BEST speeches EVER and these movies still get me pumped. I watch the Clubber Lang fight during my pre workout at gym. Love your channel
Dang Steve...350k? Wow. That's what's up my dude! I've been watching you since you had less than 10k lol. Wild to see how much this channel has grown in the past year or two. Really happy for you bro, keep it up!!!
Haven't seem the video yet, merely watched 10 seconds, but what I love the most about the Rocky saga is that it's a movie focused nearly entirely on masculinity, and how it is more complex than most people think. Yes, Rocky is a man, and even when life constantly beats the shit out of him, he keeps going. In the franchise, people look up to him as a role model, but they never know exactly what he goes through. He bleeds, sweats, and also *cries* but he'll always find a way to make up to the role that was attached to him.
David Goggins stated his motivation comes from the 14th round. Which is a reference to when Rocky is beaten up, but he is not beaten. Speaking of which... hey Steven perhaps a documentary on that guy? 😉
I'm re-watching it now. When I was a child in Russia I was interesting to see a superhero. But now I am 31, and it is so surprising to feel inspired by this movies.
16:33 Correction, "Adrians" didn't open after Adrian died in 2002. It opened in 1995. They opened the restaurant named after her first before she died of Ovarian Cancer.
It's worth mentioning that a Rocky look-alike Henry "Razor" Sharp had a pretty good career and later came back to fight his old nemesis Billy "The Kid" McDonnen probably inspired by the stallion
+ 10:52 didn't they show the part where they agreed to train and that rocky would own a "favor" he could not refuse but he didn't exactly tell what it was? + 12:29 I think rocky did tell creed jr later on that creed did in fact win it.
Who should I cover next from the Rocky Saga?

Mickey and then Apollo
@@WarTheory I thought Apollo first... but you re right, Mickey is more important in Rocky's life as a whole.
Apollo Creed, then Clubber Lang

Mickey should be the first follow up…. Then Apollo. My question is though, where do you get your source material?
Carl Weathers did an awesome job with that role. When you watch as a kid you don't really notice I guess, but now I can't ignore how great he was as Apollo.

He was always there for me, more than my own father. Thanks Rocky!

Rocky, especially Rocky I, is a love story: never quit or give up on love. Love never fails!
Even if you're not a boxing fan, Rocky Balboa's story is an inspiration to not give up and keep pushing forward.
The most incredible and unbelievable thing in rocky franchise is having a woman that actually motivate you when you need it.

"What are we waiting for?!"-Mickey
How ?
this is being told as if it were real events, so that is deliberately left out as it happened behind closed doors
I could watch every single one of the rocky movies over and over again. I’ve watched them all at least 50’times

Lovely tribute to the character and the movies, great summary of what we can take away from Rocky's story. Wholesome, made me feel good. 😎🙌😊🙏👑❤️👊

At first glance, I thought does he mean Rocky Marciano. The holidays are coming, will watch Rocky as usual, it's a classic.
Great delivery as always. I was thinking Rocky was a real fighter. Nice work.
Awesome job on this. Brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a kid. I do wish you had included his time spent with Tommy Morrison
It's worth mentioning that a Rocky look-alike Henry "Razor" Sharp had a pretty good career and later came back to fight his old nemesis Billy "The Kid" McDonnen probably inspired by the stallion
wow, I just rewatched the movies recently! great timing for this video!
Bro this Rocky video 🔥🔥🔥 I thought it was going to be a Stallone video but was pleasantly surprised. Strangle Gang
Big fan of your channel, I'm 7 weeks out from a suicide attempt. That little bit and the end has just stirred something in me
Thank you 🙏🏽 and I’m glad you’re still with us. Stay strong!
@@StevenStranglesPeople thank you brother! Think I'm going to dust off my gi!
The most reselient actor the most and mentally agile humble ...
Steven this was excellent. The documentary format is genius. Do more please and I suggest Born To Be A Champion.
The storyline is what makes Rocky the best movies made.
i love that his name was in that book. thats a big achievement already♡
The fact that I've seen all of these movies 200 times each and yet here I am watching a 20 min video explaining it to me.
+ 10:52 didn't they show the part where they agreed to train and that rocky would own a "favor" he could not refuse but he didn't exactly tell what it was?
+ 12:29 I think rocky did tell creed jr later on that creed did in fact win it.
Thanks dude I know all Rocky films by heart but this was a great recap
Only seams right to talk about rocky on this channel. I've seen every single movie many times as a kid
Great job with this Steven!
