The speech “It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward.” I love that life advice.
It reminds me of "every time I think that I'm out they pull me back in" as a line that's disproportionately famous and well-remembered compared to the movie it's in.
I spoke those words in honor of my mom for her eulogy. She loved this movie, the character, and those words and absolutely lived by this creed, no pun intended
Rocky is easily one of my all time favorite fictional characters. I loved watching you experience this franchise and be SO invested. I hope you continue on into the Creed films.
Spider, who eats consistently in Rocky's restaurant as his guest, was from the very start of the first Rocky movie. Rocky is fighting Spider Rico in an underground boxing match.
I love Mason's story arc here. He is at the top but doesn't feel like it was hard enough to get there. He is hungry for a real challenge to test him so he see what his own limits are. Rocky gave him exactly what he was wanting and he was able to get that self respect he wanted. Antagonist, but not a bad guy.
That may have been the best reaction to discovering Adrian at the start of this film I’ve ever seen. And your growing terror for Rocky as it went on was perfect. One of the most entertaining reactions I’ve seen.
Great reaction! Rocky really is a mentor to so many of us walking around today who have grown up loving these films. It’s so awesome to see reactors getting inspired in the same way, no matter how different they may be from a big, simple ham-and-egger from inner city Philly. Fight hard. Love deeply. Never lose hope. These lessons are universal. Thanks for choosing to react to these movies. They are such a bright spot in the history of cinema. You’re a true gem!
The fight wasn’t about beating Dixon. It was about both of them gaining their due respect for being real fighters. They were cheering Rocky’s name at the end, but Dixon was being cheered as well, both during the fight and after his victory was announced. Dixon was more like Apollo in the first movie; he wasn’t an enemy, just an opponent. Because Rocky put up such a good fight, and Dixon had to get serious with him, it showed that he was a real fighter too, and could take on a real challenger and win. The fight proved both Rocky and Dixon were real, honest champions who deserved their cred.
This film was a mirror of George Foreman coming out of retirement in his 50s. It was filmed right before an actual boxing match on HBO Sports. That's why it seems so real in the end fight. The crowd started chanting ROCKY! ROCKY! without being asked to do so by the producers. Stallone said you could watch Rocky 1, and then this and still have a complete story. A rarity in a series finale.
This really is a good movie and the coaxing premise quite believable. So many great comments already posted so I'll just say another thanks to Coby...the hands down, undisputed Champ of movie reactions!! Good health to all!
Ive got the how hard you hit speech up on my wall with a picture of Rocky on the steps .... no better character in movies than Rocky Balboa...he's all heart
As a guy, I always took this one a lot deeper. Age is like a circling vulture, ... awaiting the arcing over of our body's vitality. I too struggle with the admissions and surrendering to time. As guys we fight this. I find it a bit emasculating, yet freeing too. I appreciate the exploration of Rocky's thoughts around still feeling the call to compete. Perhaps I'm over thinking it or something. But Rocky Balboa finishes the series arc with the best two being the original and this bookend last chapter.
I really wish they hadn't cut Paulie's scene in the alley. Such a good moment for him. BTW the old man who insisted on washing dishes in the restaurant was Spider Rico. From the opening fight of the first movie.
Great reaction. Probably the best I’ve seen to this movie. This film is one of my favourite movies ever. It manages to be exciting, emotional, funny, poignant and dare I say it, realistic. There’s no attempt to hide the characters age and the whole concept of ‘an exhibition’ is a perfect set up. But as we all know, there’s far more to these films than the boxing. I’d say this entry is the deepest and most heartfelt of the series and it also contains dialogue and speeches that have now passed into legend. The widely and often quoted ‘it ain’t about how hard you can hit..’ is one of the greatest motivational quotes of all time and I’m a sucker for Dukes ‘let’s start building some hurtin’ bombs’ . It was also great to hear you praise Stallone. He was written off for many years as just another high T action star, but he’s always been a great actor and gifted writer and director. His work in this is amongst his best. Nice work.
The thing that people miss about Antonio Tarver who plays Mason Dixon is that the character eerily echoes his real life. He was one of the best boxers of his generation having won titles in multiple weight classes in the WBA, IBF and WBC. Yet he was never regarded as one of the greats because of the time he fought. Even when he won his first titles from Roy Jones Jr. people immediately said it was because Roy Jones Jr. was way past his prime and fighting in the wrong weight class. There was a lot of merit to that. And because Antonio picked up the title mantle at a time where a golden era was ending with great fighters, there really was not anyone impressive for him to fight left. So the narrative was that he fought cream puffs. I'm sure this is why Stallone chose him for this role as he may have drawn inspiration from his actual career. And it is a known fact that Stallone wanted the Rocky series to pay homage to a number of his personal heroes in professional boxing which he was a huge fan of so he pulled from actual champions and their championship fights as models especially Ali, Frasier and Foreman.
Gonna show my age. Rocky premiered 1 year and 3 days after I was born. I feel like I've grown up with Rocky. This is by far the best finale to a movie series I've seen. It was never really about boxing. Boxing was the vehicle used to show what passion, heart, determination, and love can do in one's life. He never quit. He never laid down. No matter what the world hit him with. His heart was larger than life and therefore life couldn't crush him or keep him down. Sounds sappy I know, but if when my life here on earth comes to a close, people, especially my loved ones, my son can say that I never quit moving forward, that would truly be a life well lived.
Lol. I was 14. I wanted to see Jeff Bridges King Kong, but my dad was like, " we're seeing the boxing movie." When Rocky first came out like it was instantly popular, but we saw it before anybody really knew what it was. I did not want to go. But I'm sure glad I did
I was 2. I remember watching the original fight scene over and over on our Betamax video player when I was about 6 or 7 then running around the garden "training" 😂
I love the fact that Mike Tyson exists canonically inside the "Balboa Universe" - and he's apparently a Balboa fan because he immediately talks shit to Dixon as soon as the guy makes it to the ring.
The boxer washing dishes in Rocky's restaurant was Spider Rico. The guy we see Rocky fighting at the beginning of the first film. He's the one that head butted Rocky and that Mickey said was a bum. Rocky was giving Spider free meals and Spider was trying to repay Rocky because he feels guilty. "He picks the mangy one that no one would want!" Not only that but he forgave Steps for insulting him. The "Punchy" name Steps suggested was making a comment about how he thought Rocky was punchy. There are two places that confirm it. One is Steps says, "You know I was just kidding." and Rocky answers, "Yeah you're a funny guy." The other place is when he asks Marie what she thinks of the name Steps gave the dog. She says, "I think it's disrespectful." "I don't understand exhibition fights." They do not affect the fighters record, or his standing within the sport. An exhibition fight is for entertainment purposes only. But it can mean more than that to the challenger if they win, or in the case of Rocky, just want to go out the way they came in. Sylvester Stallone said he wasn't interested in doing another Rocky movie if it was going to be a traditional Rocky movie. I mean Mason Dixon even broke his hand to make it more even. He insisted that the story have a real purpose because otherwise it would be unrealistic for an old guy to be fighting a champion in his prime.
When Sly decided to cut Adrian from the script (after consulting Talia and getting her blessing), he made sure she was credited and paid for her flashback appearances.
One thing is that Sylvester Stallone is a great actor at portraying men being emotional or upset. He is a good crier. He is famous for playing tough guys, but his greatest moments are when he is vulnerable. Not just in Rocky, but in First blood and even Copland. Stallone must get credit for being able to portray multi dimensional characters. I also like that the Rocky character shows that being nice, being generous, are positive, admirable traits for a young man.
This film was a perfect bookend to the Rocky movies. In Rocky 1, he didn't care if he won or not - he just wanted to prove he could go the distance. And in this film, it's the same. We saw that at the end of the 1976 film - as they call the results Rocky was only interested in finding Adrian, and in this film he's already left the ring and walking out before they even announce the winner. Stallone could easily have gone for a Hollywood style ending where Rocky (touching 60) somehow becomes World Heavyweight Champion again by beating Dixon, but that would have been pretty unrealistic. Rocky wasn't looking to reclaim belts. He's already been Champion twice and had his big wins all through Rocky 2, 3 and 4. I prefer that he wrote it so that Rocky just wanted to prove he could still stand toe-to-toe with a great fighter and hold his own, and winning or losing was inconsequential to him.
Well I have just finished watching you watching EVERY Rocky movie and thoroughly enjoyed watching ur emotional ride. Loved it how it made you cry every single time 😂😅😊
You are a Gem! I’ve had a great time watching you react to to all of them. Rocky is just such a great character. Lookin forward to whatever movie you watch next. 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒔 🍻
Coby, I don't think you realized that the guy in the undershirt at Rocky' restaurant was Spider Rico. He was the boxer Rock fought in the very first scene of the first Rocky film. It's little things like that that make Rocky Balboa a wonderful entry in the franchise.
This is what stars do, they earn it. Corny or not, Stallone probably hasn’t skipped leg day for decades and continually put out entertainment, good or not great, for all that time. He earns my dollar. One of the few that do.
You weren't alone in tearing up at this one though probably for different reasons. The age thing, people around you dropping away with the passing years ... movies that touch on this get to me more than they used to, for sure. Definitely watch Creed, but I look forward to whatever you watch. Thanks.
23:59 You should do a youtube search of the deleted scenes for this movie. There's one in particular that takes place in this alley that shows, Burt Young doing some amazing acting. Also, see if you can find the alternate ending as well.
THere's an alternative ending that was filmed, available in other places. But this one, it's the best version. Remember too, it's not the last you'll see of the Rocky character.
This is such a great movie. The original Rocky came out the year I was born. I grew up with these movies. When this one came out I rushed to see it and cried so hard in the theater. These movies are some of the only movies that have been able to make me cry
In the fight game the last thing that goes is power. You get slower, reflexes slows, cardio drops, chin turns to glass but power will still be there. Tyson still has his power not as the same power as in his prime but still got that touch of death in them hands.
Great reaction Coby. This was the perfect way to wrap up the Rocky series. I absolutely love Little Marie in this. For Criminal Content, you really ought to consider doing Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It is perfect for the channel, and very few reactors have taken it on. I guarantee you'll love it.
I really liked how Talia SUPER endorsed the decision for the story purposes to have her character die. She really liked the movie, and I heard she also very much liked CREED.
Burt Young is also in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. It features a young Robert Downey Jr, and William Zabka (Johnny from Karate Kid/Cobra Kai).
A brilliant emotional reaction 👍, i love this franchise & this was a emotional roller-coaster on so many levels. Rockys speech about it ain't how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit & keepmoving forward is one of the most iconic realistic speeches & certainly echoes in mine & many others lives. Your a diamond Coby big hugs from England 🏴
Coby didn't expect the gut punch to be right at the start. Hey wait, I didn't expect it either! As I suspect others have said, the speech about it being about how hard you can get hit etc etc is one of Stallone's best. His best is still the First Blood monologue though! I really like this one. Didn't think the Rock had another movie in him, but there it was...
Love your reactions. It’s Mason “The Line” Dixon, as in the Mason Dixon line. And yeah it’s unclear but I too think promoters were saying prime Rocky would win
First of all, lemme just say that I have been waiting for months for this reaction… When I saw this posted, I got dinner and made it a point to go straight home to watch this … Your reaction was just what I needed. You get it … OK … So also … Antonio Tarver is a real fighter and they filmed this fight after one of the the de la Hoya fights in Vegas at Mandalay; They also shot an alternate ending where he won but this plays way way better … Also, on the 4K disc, Sly just released his director’s cut of this and incorporated all the deleted scenes which includes a stellar Paulie scene - which they should have included here - in the alley at the restaurant where he breaks down about Adrienne. Gut-wrenching… Lemme just say that you are going to LOVE CREED and that Sly got another Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe for reprising his role as Rocky.
This movie is set over a decade and a half after Rocky 5. Oldly enough Rocky and his 20 something year old son's relationship is not the same as when he was a pre teen.
Mildly interesting story about this movie. I had a friend who worked as a editor in the industry. One day a comes to me with a couple of burned DVDs. Tells me that he had a couple of pilots for tv shows that I might like and the new Rocky movie, before any of them had been released. The Rocky movie was this one, and it was a burned copy of what goes out to oscar people because the bottom had for your consideration on every scene. The two unreleased pilots were for Chuck and the Sarah Conner Chronicles. It was interesting that the pilots that aired were a little different. Not wildly different, but different enough that it was noticeable.
As much as we all love Adrien , it was better she wasn’t in this movie, because she would have prevented Rocky from fighting again. She would have gone nuts if he tried.
Pretty sure the promoter guy was saying Rocky would destroy Dixon in Rockys prime. Whenever he's not doing his promoter schtick he doesn't exactly talk Dixon up. He's got way more respect for Rocky then he ever really shows towards Dixon.
Not bad for pushing 60 by the time it was released. But how about Coby? Big round of applause for her. Ain't she just the cutest. All caught up in this whole series. So personable and real. Definitely a favorite.
Coby, you're the best. I could watch/listen to you read the alphabet on a loop. Thank you... PS -- Spider is Spider Rico, the guy Rocky was fighting in the opening of the original film.
The speech “It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward.” I love that life advice.

Fucking CRINGE
What I love is that Rocky doesn’t even care if he won at the end, he already won by going the distance - just like the first film.
That Rocky speech, I have it hung up on my wall in my office!! One of the greatest ever!
47:54 Fun Fact: These three girls running up the stairs are Scarlet, Sistine, and Sophia Stallone...his daughters.
Mason: You one crazy old man.
Rocky: You'll get there..
George Foreman literally did what Rocky did in this movie.
Not exactly. Foreman was a little younger and he won his fight.
Not really. This would be more like if the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul actually happened or happens
@havok6280 foreman was A LOT younger
@@gsquat Chuck Wepner
@@hawkeyegeorgewhat about Wepner? Nothing about this movie relates to him at all
Rocky is easily one of my all time favorite fictional characters. I loved watching you experience this franchise and be SO invested. I hope you continue on into the Creed films.
You're AWESOME. Watching your emotion through this franchise makes me emotional because of how much the franchise means to me! You rock sweetheart!
true words...
That moment when Coby realized the other movies are named Creed and Rocky doesn't necessarily survive this one... That was epic.
Spider, who eats consistently in Rocky's restaurant as his guest, was from the very start of the first Rocky movie. Rocky is fighting Spider Rico in an underground boxing match.
I love Mason's story arc here. He is at the top but doesn't feel like it was hard enough to get there. He is hungry for a real challenge to test him so he see what his own limits are. Rocky gave him exactly what he was wanting and he was able to get that self respect he wanted. Antagonist, but not a bad guy.
I want to see Adronis Creed take on Mason Dixon in a future Creed film.
That may have been the best reaction to discovering Adrian at the start of this film I’ve ever seen. And your growing terror for Rocky as it went on was perfect. One of the most entertaining reactions I’ve seen.
I love Coby's reactions, so genuine.
and loud as hell
The Romans-Greeks had their mythological hero’s. We have Rocky!
Great reaction! Rocky really is a mentor to so many of us walking around today who have grown up loving these films.

Never skip. Don't let others taste ever deter you from anything. It's not my favorite, but Rocky V is part of Rocky's journey.
As a guy, I always took this one a lot deeper. Age is like a circling vulture, ... awaiting the arcing over of our body's vitality. I too struggle with the admissions and surrendering to time. As guys we fight this. I find it a bit emasculating, yet freeing too. I appreciate the exploration of Rocky's thoughts around still feeling the call to compete.

That Paulie scene is heartbreaking.

Beautiful movie. The speech to his son is so moving and inspirational.
I always felt the final wave to Adrian was also Rocky waving goodbye to the audience.
Please watch Creed next. It continues the Rocky story.
It doesn’t and it’s racist.. you must really hate white people
Creed does not continue the rocky story, it's telling the story of Adonis creed
@@AntoineRideaux-wd1zkit also continues Rocky's story. Maybe you just weren't paying attention
Please! They are all good!!
Nah, it is a DEI, ESG, FEMINIST production, a waste of time.

Coby, I loved watching you go on the emotional roller coaster during this movie.
The boxer washing dishes in Rocky's restaurant was Spider Rico. The guy we see Rocky fighting at the beginning of the first film. He's the one that head butted Rocky and that Mickey said was a bum. Rocky was giving Spider free meals and Spider was trying to repay Rocky because he feels guilty.

Spider in the tank top is Spider Rico. The first opponent from the first movie, the one who head butted him.
12:17 omg that is my dad now at 75 he stands up for people and being 6’3 former truck driver he can be very intimidating ❤
When Sly decided to cut Adrian from the script (after consulting Talia and getting her blessing), he made sure she was credited and paid for her flashback appearances.
I love this film love your reactions keep up the fantastic work 💯❤

In my opinion, Rocky Balboa is the 2nd best movie in the franchise
23:59 You should do a youtube search of the deleted scenes for this movie. There's one in particular that takes place in this alley that shows, Burt Young doing some amazing acting. Also, see if you can find the alternate ending as well.
Fun fact:The three young girls seen going up the "Rocky steps" during the closing credits are Slyvester and Jennifer's daughters.
As an “aging” man myself who was once a warrior, that “stuff in the basement” speech gets to me every time.

Burt Young is also in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. It features a young Robert Downey Jr, and William Zabka (Johnny from Karate Kid/Cobra Kai).
"Fight a child" - funnily enough, Antonio Tarver (Mason Dixon) was pushing 40 when this came out, but definitely looked younger.
You will 100% love Creed 1 and Creed 2. These 2 movies complete the Rocky story. Thank you for your time and effort Coby.
Please react to Paulie's deleted scene! It's a must! :)
Your reaction at the end was beautiful.
A brilliant emotional reaction 👍, i love this franchise & this was a emotional roller-coaster on so many levels.
Rockys speech about it ain't how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit & keepmoving forward is one of the most iconic realistic speeches & certainly echoes in mine & many others lives.
Your a diamond Coby big hugs from England 🏴
Best part of my day.
The beautiful Coby ❤
And, a fantastic film. An awesome franchise.
CREED and CREED 2 are a must.
Great video, keep it up 👍
There’s a deleted scene between Rocky and Paulie that you should definitely check out! It’s a huge character moment that never should’ve been cut
There have been so many great and iconic moments put to film, but none more epic than 40:45 of this reaction!!
Coby didn't expect the gut punch to be right at the start. Hey wait, I didn't expect it either! As I suspect others have said, the speech about it being about how hard you can get hit etc etc is one of Stallone's best. His best is still the First Blood monologue though!
I really like this one. Didn't think the Rock had another movie in him, but there it was...
Coby coby coby coby 😂
Love your reactions. It’s Mason “The Line” Dixon, as in the Mason Dixon line. And yeah it’s unclear but I too think promoters were saying prime Rocky would win
I've been less nervous at real sporting events, which is an amazing achievement by the Rocky movies.
sly wrote and produced all of the rocky movies
First of all, lemme just say that I have been waiting for months for this reaction… When I saw this posted, I got dinner and made it a point to go straight home to watch this … Your reaction was just what I needed. You get it … OK … So also … Antonio Tarver is a real fighter and they filmed this fight after one of the the de la Hoya fights in Vegas at Mandalay; They also shot an alternate ending where he won but this plays way way better … Also, on the 4K disc, Sly just released his director’s cut of this and incorporated all the deleted scenes which includes a stellar Paulie scene - which they should have included here - in the alley at the restaurant where he breaks down about Adrienne. Gut-wrenching… Lemme just say that you are going to LOVE CREED and that Sly got another Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe for reprising his role as Rocky.
Rocky Balboa is the greatest movie character in cinema history. Don't argue, just accept.
That's your opinion, why would anybody argue with you about it?
Imo ROCKY 1,2 and Balboa are watchable by themselves and totally different different styles then the others and truthfully i love them more
This movie is set over a decade and a half after Rocky 5. Oldly enough Rocky and his 20 something year old son's relationship is not the same as when he was a pre teen.
As much as I like Creed and Creed, two, this was the perfect ending for Rocky “Yo Adrian we did it”
Honestly this one’s my favorite bc of all the life lessons and bc it’s not about winning
the best films ever
Mildly interesting story about this movie. I had a friend who worked as a editor in the industry. One day a comes to me with a couple of burned DVDs. Tells me that he had a couple of pilots for tv shows that I might like and the new Rocky movie, before any of them had been released. The Rocky movie was this one, and it was a burned copy of what goes out to oscar people because the bottom had for your consideration on every scene. The two unreleased pilots were for Chuck and the Sarah Conner Chronicles. It was interesting that the pilots that aired were a little different. Not wildly different, but different enough that it was noticeable.
There’s actually an alternate ending where Rocky won by decision, but I think most would agree this version is the right one.
It's like the best story to go out on honestly.
Get to watch movies from past and enjoying watching it through you. 🤗
they actually asked talia shire, if she was OK with not being in the movie,
As much as we all love Adrien , it was better she wasn’t in this movie, because she would have prevented Rocky from fighting again. She would have gone nuts if he tried.
Yeah ok they had to wait for her permission 🙄 what a crock of shit. She was told she wasn't gonna be in the movie, and that's it.
@@GeorgeTropicana they were not forced to wait, but they did anyways, out of respect to her. something you just prooved, have a lack of...
Pretty sure the promoter guy was saying Rocky would destroy Dixon in Rockys prime. Whenever he's not doing his promoter schtick he doesn't exactly talk Dixon up. He's got way more respect for Rocky then he ever really shows towards Dixon.
Not bad for pushing 60 by the time it was released. But how about Coby? Big round of applause for her. Ain't she just the cutest. All caught up in this whole series. So personable and real. Definitely a favorite.
I CANNOT BELIEVE this movie came out 18 years ago!?!?
Coby, you're the best. I could watch/listen to you read the alphabet on a loop. Thank you...
PS -- Spider is Spider Rico, the guy Rocky was fighting in the opening of the original film.
"I missed Talia Shire, right?"? I think that's the fastest I've seen a reactor even get the idea that something might be up.
coby remembers Little marie
the last round of your life. At the cinema that was very worrying. Classic film.
