A lot of people don’t realize that this song was actually written for this movie and this exact montage to be specific, but Stallone passed in favor of Eye of the Tiger. That’s why the song fits so well with the montage
The lyrics even contain boxing specific phrases such as "reach the final bell". I learned about this song originally written for Rocky 3 about 10 years ago and always wondered how it would pair with the movie. Ultimately, I think it all worked out for the best. Although "Another One Bites the Dust" would have worked pretty well in the opening scene.
Rocky's second title defense in this montage was against Joe Czak, rejected by Creed as a replacement fighter in Rocky (1976) though referred to by Jurgens as "an up and comer."
Totalmente de acuerdo!! ✌️Esta canción cayó mejor a Karate kids. Silvester estuvo bien el no escoger esta canción. Mas bien la canciones que pusieron en Rocky 3 y 4, estuvieron precisas! 💞💞 Lo máximo Silvester, siempre grande! 🥰💪🏻
Eye of the tiger didn’t really have that underdog/I’m rooting for him vibe for karate kid but “you’re the best” fits both movies very well because rocky is a superstar at the height of his prime which eye of the tiger fits with and you’re the best is good too because it can be viewed as an extension of the last movie where rocky was the underdog instead of the beginning of this movie
The song needed to be a little stronger for this. Credit to Stallone. Eye of the Tiger worked better for Rocky and this song was better for the younger and softer karate kid.
Well done! I think this song works MUCH better for this montage, and is very Rocky-like. Now that he is the champion, Rocky was now famous at this point. He was indeed the "best around." BUT, he had also gotten civilized and lost the "eye of the tiger." That is why he lost to Lang. "The Eye of the Tiger" should have been saved for the end of the movie, when Apollo helps Rocky to find it again.
Eye of the Tiger was more inline with the general theme of the movie so definitely the more appropriate choice, but this song is perfectly fitting on it's own merits. I'm glad Sly went with Eye of the Tiger though.
Eye of the Tiger I believe was made extremely late in production. Just putting You're The Best with this video shows it indeed was meant to be placed here.
Interesting! I think this works better than Another One Bites the Dust, which someone else created a video for. Eye of the Tiger of course works best (maybe it’s just because of 35+ years of familiarity?) but I think all 3 of the proposed songs work well.
Another One Bites The Dust was never intended to be in the movie. The producers used it just so they could have a song for the montage in pre-production.
That song, "The Best" was recycled by the Karate Kid; and to be honest, I think "Eye of the Tiger" nailed it; although in its absence this would have sufficed.

It fits well for this part and the training with apollo too

You are right sir! And I prefer this song! It is also written by Bill Conti who wrote “Gonna fly now”!
I think this should have been the song and eye of the tiger should have been the training
daniel Joe Esposito performed it, but, Bill Conti wrote the music.

He was called a "good prospect" to be exact...I'm autistic AND love Rocky - don't argue
@@chicagomike4587 lmao same
Sasha Czack was his wife and mother of Sage Stallone . He honored her with a fighter.
Never knew that, great attention to detail
I’m glad Stallone didn’t use this song, it was a perfect fit for the Karate Kid.

I agree ☝🏽
My two favorite franchises. I prefer Eye of the tiger but still this is fantastic!!!!
Brilliant alternate universe vid. Works so well
mjw221 works so well because it was written exactly for that montage. But then replaced at the last minute by eye of the tiger
Fantastic job buddy! I always wondered what this song 🎧 would sound like during this montage and you put it all together! Bravo 👏
This is how it was supposed to be.
I was on my way to gym while listening to this...this video made me so motivated that i made a turn back home IMMEDIATELY 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Now imagine Eye Of The Tiger in Karate Kid
Outstanding
Right
It would have re-edit the scenes
Eye of the tiger didn’t really have that underdog/I’m rooting for him vibe for karate kid but “you’re the best” fits both movies very well because rocky is a superstar at the height of his prime which eye of the tiger fits with and you’re the best is good too because it can be viewed as an extension of the last movie where rocky was the underdog instead of the beginning of this movie
@@supbrahimhammer.421 it might be a editing confusing

Definitely agree
Well said 👍🏼
Agreed 1000%

This song is a banger.
This real looks so good
Ahh the video I was looking for 🙌🏽
Clubber Lang is my favorite Rocky Villain.
Mine too. It makes you want to train harder.

I'm glad Sly went with Eye of the Tiger though.
Rocky 3 came out in 1982
The Karate Kid came out in 1984
Karate Kid 2 took another Rocky reject.. Glory of Love was rejected for Rocky IV.
Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info! 👍🏼
it needs to have the sound effects
Very soft for Rocky..
Thx god they took "eye of the 🐅 "
I assume you don't like No Easy Way Out and Hearts on Fire.
Even though they didn’t use this song it was made for this montage. They used eye of the tiger tho
Seeing mick again after watching all the movies..
That's Bill Conti and John G. Avildsen, for ya!
What could have been
Very cool!
This was going to be in the movie
Holy shit that crossover was perfect
According to this song 🎧 I gotta be the best around man
1:17 that's like how Joe Frazier knocked down Muhammad Ali in the fight of the century
Eye of the Tiger I believe was made extremely late in production. Just putting You're The Best with this video shows it indeed was meant to be placed here.
Some days I just love the Internet.
Didn't they also consider using Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" for this montage until Freddie Mercury put the kibosh on it?
Really would have seen Earnie Shavers playing Clubber...
may he rest in peace
Don’t let passwords get you down!
It works

This fit better than another one bites the dust

@@JasonL77 too cheesy
It was in karate kid
Sly failed in not put that music in the movie. Its amazing. Together with Eye of Tiger
Eye of tiger 🐅 fit better

Estivo bien q se qdara en karate kid... stalon prefirió eye of the tiger
Why wasn't this used in pokemon season 1
HEY go to 1:43 look at how the referee tries to stop the fight and Mr. T is like GET OUTTA MY WAY!! I WON!
He cheated
YUK! THANK GOD this never made it into Rocky III, too damn cheesy for a Rocky film, went far better with the Cheesy Karate Kid films.
The original choice
Rocky sure beat a lot of white guys in the 80s.
This song, for this movie, would have ruined everything. Lol
no, You're the Best!
What could’ve been
Perfect song for the movie
But not this movie
Ok as much as I love Eye of the Tiger I think I prefer this version a bit more
@Alex Kanyima nah its better this way most would agree
@@mushroomcupcake9288 i hope so
That song, "The Best" was recycled by the Karate Kid; and to be honest, I think "Eye of the Tiger" nailed it; although in its absence this would have sufficed.
This works but not as good as Eye of the tiger.
I like the Eye of the Tiger Way better in the montage
me too, it fits well though
Same. Eye of the tiger has a stronger theme
ROCKY BACK ROCKY BALBOA left handed Boxer Super punching fast moves so fast aussome Photoshop
It's looks like a motivation song for Connor McGregor to beat Mayweather
Too bad there's no script. He's getting stopped.
This aged well huh 😂😂😂
better then karate kid
