25:56 "Rocky has such a good heart." Rocky is one of the toughest characters in movie history, but he's also one of the kindest. That's an important concept to pass down to people. That's why I hope the Rocky movies will continue to be popular for a long time.
@waterbeauty85 I agree. every reaction I've seen to these films they go in thinking it's all just about blokes fighting but it doesn't take long for the tears to roll. Says a lot about the writing when a pacifist starts shouting for Rocky to hit harder😂 More than just a sports film I'd say☺️
I dunno why so many people hate this movie so much. It was the first Rocky I saw properly and I enjoyed it enough to get into the rest of the franchise. Every movie's a hit for me. 5 isn't the best of them but it's perfectly servicable
@Shidai I agree. I grew up with these films and personally 4 has a lot of jingoistic undertones going on. This one actually brings Rocky back to his routes where he started as a mob enforcer fighting on the street.
It's the corniness for me. There's just something about it that didn't feel right in the franchise. That said, I've come to appreciate it a lot more recently. The only real scene that I really love is the Micky flashback.
@@Jose_Eduardo504 To be honest he shouldn't have been fighting at all . His mother has said he told her in 1989 he knew he had the virus . He retired in 96 , and later tried to come back saying he never had it , and was wrongly diagnosed . The boxing commission didn't believe his story , and he was denied . So he fought out of the U.S. Not a very responsible guy .
He was a great fighter. In the 70s, we used to look for the "Great White Hope" to win a title. It was dumb of course, Ali will always be the greatest to me, but Tommy actually filled that moniker. His personal life, life a lot of athletes, was a tragedy that unfolded over years.
So here's the thing with Rocky's son--"Rocky V" itself time jumps. That is, it begins in 1985 and eventually works itself up to late 1990. When they were planning the film, the idea was that Rocky Krakoff (from "Rocky IV") would play Rocky Jr. in the early parts of the movie and then Sage Stallone would play him in the later parts of the movie. But Krakoff was unavailable, so they just decided to have Sage do the part for the whole movie. But if you pay attention, you can see Sage is made up to look much more youthful in the first half of the movie than he is in the later parts. It's not something that's especially germane to the plot, so you're just expected to roll with it. Also, do keep in mind, these movies came out over a span of several years--they weren't meant to be seen back to back to back like this.
A lot of people didn’t like this movie . I think they forgot what the Rocky Saga is about . It’s a love story with boxing in it .they say we’ll Rocky 4 didn’t have a love story ! Well yeah it did . It was the love of a brother/best friend . Honoring him . But I enjoyed this movie it’s seem as the years have gone by . A lot more people have turned around on this movie
“'cause we're the warriors. And without some challenge, without some damn war to fight then the warriors might as well be dead, Stallion.” Nice call back👌
Great movie reactions.. Here are a couple of movie suggestions for you to watch Both very good 1. The Deep (1977) 2. Close encounters of the third kind (1977)
So glad you watched this! Your reaction was sooo good! This movie was released in 1990, and the first Rocky was released in 1976 - so Sylvester Stallone made 5 Rocky movies within those 14 years. We had to wait a long time for the 6th movie, which was released in 2006..! So there was a 16 year gap between this movie and ‘Rocky Balboa’. That’s more time than it took to make all 5 of the original movies. Also, by 2006 many people thought Sylvester Stallone’s career was over. He hadn’t had a hit for a long time. ‘Rocky Balboa’ is great. I can’t wait for your reaction!
23:41 Rocky talking about boxing being a dirty business full of thieves and gangsters reminds me that, for many years, sportscaster Howard Cosell was a commentator for ABC Sports' boxing coverage because he had a love of boxing and great respect for boxers, but he eventually quit because he couldn't stomach how exploitive to the boxers and crooked the business side of the sport was.
I know it took you awhile to come back after rocky 4. Thank you for coming back. I love your reactions. What did you honestly think of rocky 5?, it's in my top 3!
Great Reaction..... Another Great reaction to this Awesome Movie Series..... Yes, this Movie happens right after Rocky IV, One reason his son aged so much between the movies is Slyvester wanted his real son to play Rocky Jr.......
While making the Rocky movies, Sylvester Stallone learned a lot about real boxers inside and outside the ring and incorporated much of what he learned into the movies to add more three dimensionality to his character. Rocky doing his little trick of pulling something from behind Robert's ear was inspired by real life boxing great Muhammad Ali. Ali loved sleight of hand magic and would perform impromptu tricks to entertain his friends. Later in his life, when there were many concerns about the effects Parkinsonism might be having on Ali's physical and mental capabilities, ABC news did a feature story about him. In the course of the story, they showed instances of him with slow, slurred speech and with his mind seeming to wander, but they ended on a positive note showing Ali perfectly performing and a magic trick for the reporter with all the dexterity, presentation skill and charm of his younger days.
Hell, Ali may have done it to Stallone--Rocky's mansion in "Rocky III" and "Rocky IV" is Ali's real-life home! And there are stills of Ali behind the scenes on "Rocky III."
The topsy turvy storyline can have you a bit confused but it does have some exciting moments. The best part was seeing Mickey again! The fight at the end was action packed and it was great when Rocky won. It has good moments. It is not my favorite though.
This is the best Rocky 5 reaction I've seen so far. You cracked me up with how mad you were getting. By the way, you may have some anger issues you should probably discuss with your therapist. Just joking. But you were kinda violent towards Minnie in that hilarious drunk intro you made for The Godfather part 2. Just saying lol.
Tommy Morrison was the Nephew of the famous actor John Wayne. A real boxer he fought big names as George Foreman, Lennox Lewis. Ray Mercer , Life ended tragically Unfortunately .
7:50 Thank you I'm glad someone was paying attention and not blaming Paulie for the evil of the Accountant that took advantage of the balboas fortune and left them high and dry. That Asshole didn't even use the money to pay for their mansion
Miss Aria you know I'm not a fan of Minnie. But I cannot in good conscience condone Reactor on Minnie violence. This movie brought out a side of you that was a little scary but also a little exciting. Luv your reactions 😄
GREAT REACTION BEAUTIFUL FINE SWEET LADY ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 😊 ONE OF ROCKY'S BEST SEQUELS THO 😊 and Tommy Gunn character can make anyone hate him yep but the Tommy Gunn actor died from AIDS IN REAL LIFE THO
No apologies needed for your pre-reaction monologue. I was in the the theater in 1985 when Apollo died. I can tell you the crowd was a mixture of reactions-vocally-both sadness, but mostly RAGE! Remember this was during the cold war. The fact a Russian came over here and said "If he dies, he dies." then he does, people were pi$$ed off yelling at screen for Rocky to kill the Russian. We hated the USSR with a passion. They pushed us in the 60s and 70s to the brink of WWIII. Everyday we jnew could be our last on this planet, and with that given, we hated the USSR. We left the theater upset...both sad and happy for victory, but thought the "20 million" was just false hope. Turned out, 4 years later, Mikhail Gorbachev, who the movie meant to show as the head of the Pullit Bureau in the balcony, brought down the Iron Curtain..then the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was a glorious time going into the 90s. The 80s and 90s are really a long decade. We kids who graduated in the early 80s, partied in our 20s in the 90s with the high school kids. We were kinda tied together. Great reaction!
ROCKY BALBOA is next. Amazing film and the perfect bookend to the first movie. Stallone course-corrected the franchise to make way for the stellar CREED series.
In real life, Tommy Morrison was a talented boxer, and very briefly held the WBO (World Boxing Organization) Heavyweight Title. However, like Union Kane in the movie, it was a vacant title. Tommy defeated the other top contender, not a seated champion. He lost the title later that same year. Two years later he would win the IBF (International Boxing Federation) Heavyweight Title in the same fashion, but lost it the very next fight. Also, like the movie, Tommy got caught up in the limelight and partying, ...drinking, drugs, having unprotected sex with many women. That's why he was never able to hold on to his success for very long. He ended up dying of AIDS.
My biggest problem with Rocky V is that after everything that happened with Rocky losing his money the way that they did. I can't believe Adrian would allow Rocky to train Tommy and fight in the number of fights Tommy did and Rocky didn't sign Tommy under a legal contract.
Well, Adrian also apparently couldn't be bothered to read the letter the account sent that lead to all these troubles before running off to Russia, so she's not exactly so sharp here either.
If you noticed Rocky V wasnt directed by Stallone this time around which many thought was the reason why the movie wasnt popular as the others. However, Rocky VI (Rocky Balboa) definitely redeems itself, it takes place 16 years later.
The director was John Avildsen, who directed the first movie and won the Best Director Oscar for it back then. Avildsen is considered a far superior director to Stallone.
Blessings to you Aria great reaction loving binge watching your lovely channel I personally hate this film because I don’t think in any situation Rocky would ignore he’s own son it’s too out of character and I think that’s why Stallone regrets making no 5 …Looking forward to no 6 Balboa it’s one of the best ones truly. 🙏🥊
Watch the next movie. It gives a way better ending to the character Rocky instead of this. I'm not a fan of this movie. Like, how do u go from Rocky being on such a high in Part 4 to bringing him all the way down to where he looses everything, his kid gets beat up, he has brain damage, and he is on hard times again. The music sucked also. U go from having all of these amazing soundtracks with classic rock to rap. It just doesn't fit. I actually started to hate Rocky, which is something I thought I would never do. Duke was annoying as hell and I hated every scene he was in. Stallone hated this movie. He rated it a 0-10. That's why he made Rocky Balboa to send the character off in a better way. My only favorite scene in this movie was when Rocky is thinking about Mick. Still brings a tear to my eye. That was a really good scene.To be honest, whenever I have a marathon, I always skip this movie and go from Rocky 4 to Rocky Balboa. This movie just pisses me off.
@@Area51byDaveReale Well, yes, but no. MGM made Stallone cut the movie down drastically for release and all the material dealing with "Rocky V" went to the wayside, so Stallone didn't ignore it but his efforts were stymied by the studio. "Rocky Balboa" actually still has quite a few sly references to "V" in it if you watch carefully.
Aria: "He's gonna get everything back by the end of the movie."
Me: *sweats nervously*

More than just a sports film I'd say☺️
Rocky Jr. was played by Stallone's real life son, the late Sage Stallone.
RIP Sage Stallone

RIP Tommy Morrison (Tommy Gunn) He was a great boxer in real life. He was the heavyweight champion in the early 90s and held a record of 48-3-1.
It’s crazy how he died. :(
@@Jose_Eduardo504 To be honest he shouldn't have been fighting at all . His mother has said he told her in 1989 he knew he had the virus . He retired in 96 , and later tried to come back saying he never had it , and was wrongly diagnosed . The boxing commission didn't believe his story , and he was denied .

The problem with Rocky V was that the true villain, Rocky's accountant, was never seen.
So here's the thing with Rocky's son--"Rocky V" itself time jumps. That is, it begins in 1985 and eventually works itself up to late 1990. When they were planning the film, the idea was that Rocky Krakoff (from "Rocky IV") would play Rocky Jr. in the early parts of the movie and then Sage Stallone would play him in the later parts of the movie.

Nice comment. And just have to say, I got a kick out of your username & profile pic.🤣
“'cause we're the warriors. And without some challenge, without some damn war to fight then the warriors might as well be dead, Stallion.” Nice call back👌
Great movie reactions.. Here are a couple of movie suggestions for you to watch Both very good
1. The Deep (1977)
2. Close encounters of the third kind (1977)
I love your reactions ❤️ I can't wait for your reaction to Rocky Balboa and the Creeds.
"This ain't no pie eating contest."
awesome reaction! cant wait for the next
The reality of it all is, all the blood, sweat and tears he put into getting where he wanted to be and he ends up back where he started.
That's kind of what Stallone wanted, to go back to the roots of the first two films...
Exactly.
Haven't seen all these, but you're making stuff!
Thankyou:))
30:35 you almost knocked out Minnie 😂😂😂😂
Poor thing went through a lot that day
13:19 Aria KOs Minnie to become boxings first Reactionweight Champion of the World! Well, it was a kinda cheap shot while she wasn't ready. Rematch!!!
Rocky son in this one was actually Sylvester stallone biological son in real life
So glad you watched this!
Your reaction was sooo good!
This movie was released in 1990, and the first Rocky was released in 1976 - so Sylvester Stallone made 5 Rocky movies within those 14 years.
We had to wait a long time for the 6th movie, which was released in 2006..!

Also, by 2006 many people thought Sylvester Stallone’s career was over. He hadn’t had a hit for a long time.
‘Rocky Balboa’ is great.
I can’t wait for your reaction!
The fight promoter was a direct lift of a real-life promoter named Don King.
Timm did not know Rocky was a leg breaker, street fighter 😂
Forget about the kid´s age. Stallone just wanted to hire his own son in the role. PLUS: Rocky IS in Creed !!!
23:41 Rocky talking about boxing being a dirty business full of thieves and gangsters reminds me that, for many years, sportscaster Howard Cosell was a commentator for ABC Sports' boxing coverage because he had a love of boxing and great respect for boxers, but he eventually quit because he couldn't stomach how exploitive to the boxers and crooked the business side of the sport was.
Rocky V is important too. You had a great react, now let's go to the 6 and after that. The "Creed" Saga. I think you gonna love it ❤
I know it took you awhile to come back after rocky 4.
Thank you for coming back.
I love your reactions.
What did you honestly think of rocky 5?, it's in my top 3!
Rocky 5 felt more like just a lead-in to Rocky Balboa (which is a great conclusion to the series)
I don't care what anyone says. Rocky 5 is great. I love it.
i agree, its better than 4, which was the worst of the 5.
Straight up...my top three are 2, 4 and 5. The first one's a classic for sure, but it drags for the first 2/3.
5 is a good movie but in my ranking its at the bottom 2 6 1 3 4 5
Looking forward to your reaction to ‘Rocky Balboa’ and hopefully also the next two INDIANA JONES MOVIES 😃😃😃
Awesome reaction^^
37:32 At the speed he grows, I'm surprised he wasn't an old man in Rocky Balboa.
Great Reaction..... Another Great reaction to this Awesome Movie Series.....

Rocky balboa next yessss and the creed movies is a most watch to
Great reaction 🔥
Tommy Morrison was the Nephew of the famous actor John Wayne. A real boxer he fought big names as George Foreman, Lennox Lewis. Ray Mercer , Life ended tragically Unfortunately .
*Grand nephew.. And that was Tommy's father's claim. Wayne's family disputed it. I don't think it's ever been verified.
7:50 Thank you I'm glad someone was paying attention and not blaming Paulie for the evil of the Accountant that took advantage of the balboas fortune and left them high and dry.
That Asshole didn't even use the money to pay for their mansion
Remember during the fight with rocky Ivan Drago's punches were 2k pounds of pressure into rockys body and face
It's okay to cry. When emotions like that happen it makes us human.
5 is a little odd, but let´s be honest ... so is 4 ..... look forward to Rocky 6, it is sensational !!!
29:38😂😂😂 Why you beat up Minnie Mouse like that.
Miss Aria you know I'm not a fan of Minnie. But I cannot in good conscience condone Reactor on Minnie violence. This movie brought out a side of you that was a little scary but also a little exciting. Luv your reactions 😄
By the way Aria after you finish all the ROCKY'S , what's next on your movie reactions ? 👍
GREAT REACTION BEAUTIFUL FINE SWEET LADY ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 😊 ONE OF ROCKY'S BEST SEQUELS THO 😊 and Tommy Gunn character can make anyone hate him yep but the Tommy Gunn actor died from AIDS IN REAL LIFE THO

Please watch Creed directly after Balboa… I can’t wait for that

I think he just wanted his biological son in the film so that explains the much older child or Rocky
There is a deleted scene with Paulie in the next movie that you should watch when you do your reaction.
27:35 -- This right here is how the media SHOULD'VE reacted to Lia Thomas "winning the title"
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@ConstantineFurman I'd knew that but looked as if he missed on Rocky V
i love your wideos and your guitar skills keep it up at both beautiful girl
Balboa also known as Rocky 6 is also a bit of a tear jerker...fair warning...but is a must watch to complete the series before moving on to Creed ✌✌
The character George Washington Duke is modeled after real life boxing promoter Don King. Loud mouthed, manipulator.
