That's a perfect ending, even in the stills...because Rocky gets to leave that ring with the things he didn't have when we first meet him...the love of his life and the dignity of knowing he stood up and DID SOMETHING BIG. He really went the distance.
The movie was mainly about the opening up of these two people. Rocky is getting his dignity, respect of whoever thought little of him before, and the love of a girl who barely looked at him. I LOVE how Adrian began with hardly able to look or talk to anyone in public. In the end, on live broadcast, she is pushing through a large crowd, screaming and hollering for the only man who noticed her potential. Iconic couple.
Rocky II had an alternative ending. But all I know was that they shot a version where Adrian was ring side for the fight. And pictures were released from it. But they may or may not have been shot during reshoots before keeping the ending we got. It was a few years ago I read something on a website that one of the extras wrote.
Beautiful compilation. I really wish mgm or United artists didn’t incinerate all the deleted scenes. I know the final product that we all know is a masterpiece and whichever scenes they decided to cut are better off left out of the film. ...but I would love the be able to watch the alternate ending where rocky and Apollo and carried out on fans shoulders and then when Rocky and Adrian walk off together in the empty arena. And the dipper scene. And the scene where Adrian gives Rocky his custom t shirt. Who knows which other scenes were actually filmed from the script. Not to mention deleted scenes from Rocky 2 and 3 ! What a loss!
The original scenes including this original ending have NOT been incinerated that’s the excuse they have given as Stallone does not want it coming out as it would ruin the magic and success of the ending we have.
@@TheJamie6666 what’s your source? I find that hard to believe. Rocky may be the only film I can think of that after all these years has never ever released a dvd with bonus scenes of any kind. But If you’re correct then I hope one day they surface. I have wanted to see them for 30 years
@@RM-hg7eh It's just my opinion but yes I agree would be great to see the original ending to Rocky....Also there is an alertanate ending to Rocky 2 that was filmed where Rocky is lifted up by the fans and he holds Adrian in his arms Basically because of the success of both these films the way they are I think Sylvester does not want us to see the other endings...But again just my opinion.
@@TheJamie6666 I’ve seen the stills of that ending. But it’s weird because Stallone said that was supposed to be the real ending but talia shire was commited to filming another movie during the making of rocky 2- which seems odd. And wasn’t available to be shot during the fight scene so the scenes of her at home were shot afterwards. Seems like a bit of a conflict
@@RM-hg7eh The truth is she was supposedly filming another film at the same time as Rocky 2....Makes no sense as if she wasn't available why is she in the alternate ending?.... Basically I think Stallone has both the different endings but does not want them released...Maybe one day if the footage exists which I think it does he will decide too put it on extras on a new blu ray or something. Would be really cool to see but I doubt we ever will.
I knew about this ending many years ago, but it wouldn't have made sense, especially since Rocky was taken away in ambulance as we see in Rocky 2 and didn't walk home.
Just fought the biggest fight of his life. Got his face caved in. It's pandemonium. He's calling for Adrian. First things he says to her. Where's your hat . Lol that's beautiful
Would give my left bollock to watch this ending...I reckon it still exists it’s just that Stallone does not want us to see it as it would ruin the classic ending we have today....Would love to see it one day.
As beautiful as those still shots were, I preferred the original ending where Rocky's ultimate triumph was embracing his lady love Adrian in the ring and standing tall and victorious.
Sly said there was also a scene where Apollo and a camera crew visited Rocky at Mickey's gym. Rocky knocks out someone bad mouthing him, Apollo has a look where he might have bitten' off more than he can chew.
The original ending didn't end with them embracing in the ring. Rocky walks outta the ring and meets Adrian in the back of the arena. So, in the original scene, Adrian never pushed her way to get to Rocky thus she never actually loses her hat.
@@faisalfaisal-sg4sl Yep you're right. I read Stallone's bio years ago and he talked about that a little. What did you think of Rocky II? I think it's the only bad one of the bunch.
@@maxkol4380 For me, I loved Rocky II because of the premise that shows the direction of where Rocky’s life is going to next and has one of the most iconic moments in the whole franchise where we see Rocky running up those steps with everyone in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the bad one of the bunch for me is gotta be... Rocky V!🥊😀
@@faisalfaisal-sg4sl Yeah that's a good point. My beef is that it makes Rocky look like a moron. In all the other movies, especially the 2 Creeds, Rocky is very wise.

Well said, man! 👍
No matter how many movies Sly has done, Rocky 1 will always be his baby....
I think Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot is up there, though.
@@maxkol4380 rocky made his career tho

That's why Rocky is a legendary character, there will never be another like him.
nooo that is so sad, another lost footage
Made me tear up man
In one version of the script when the decision is announced rocky turns to mickey and jokes 'can I have my locker back now?'

Very good work!!they should use that
Thank you! :)
lmao they found Adrian's hat on the way out.
Sly said there was also a scene where Apollo and a camera crew visited Rocky at Mickey's gym. Rocky knocks out someone bad mouthing him, Apollo has a look where he might have bitten' off more than he can chew.
One of the deleted endings had Spider Rico flying in on a dragon while Micky starts breakdancing in the ring.
Beautiful!
Excellent.
Thanks!
She found her hat?
The original ending didn't end with them embracing in the ring. Rocky walks outta the ring and meets Adrian in the back of the arena. So, in the original scene, Adrian never pushed her way to get to Rocky thus she never actually loses her hat.
This is the original ending but it ended on a depressing note and this ending shows there would be no Rocky II.
This got edited out--WHY?

If this video had the video of the ending would be a lot more of a sweet ending
Still prefer the original ending.
