Rocky is basically a love story with boxing playing a minor role. Hope you´re gonna continue with Rocky 2 :)
I agree! And I love that! I am sure I will be continuing on in the series. :)
"You're gonna eat lightnin' and you're gonna crap thunder!"
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Michael Dorn, best known for playing Worf in the Star Trek franchise.
Art Imitates Life Fact: Sylvester Stallone was inspired to write the screenplay after seeing the Chuck Wepner-Muhammad Ali fight on March 24, 1975, at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio, near Cleveland. The details of that fight is beyond the scope of this comment, but the Creed-Balboa fight parallels that fight in many ways.
Making Lemonade Fact: In the film, the poster above the ring before Rocky fights Apollo (Carl Weathers) shows Rocky wearing red shorts with a white stripe when he actually wears white shorts with a red stripe. This was an actual mistake made by the props department that they could not afford to rectify, so Sylvester Stallone came up with the idea for the scene where Rocky points out the mistake himself. The comment about Rocky's robe being too baggy came about the same way - the robe delivered to the set was far too baggy for Stallone, so rather than hope people wouldn't notice, the character himself simply points it out.
Guerrilla Filmmaking Fact: Most of the scenes of Rocky jogging through Philadelphia were shot with no permits, no equipment, and no extras. The shot where he runs past the moored boat for example, the crew were simply driving by the docks, and John G. Avildsen saw the boat, and thought it would make a good visual, so he had Sylvester Stallone simply get out of the van and run along the quays, while Avildsen himself filmed from the side door. A similar story concerns the famous shot of Rocky jogging through the food market. As he runs, the stall keepers and the people on the sidewalks can clearly be seen looking at him in bemusement. While this works in the context of the film to suggest they're looking at Rocky, in reality, they had no idea why this man was running up and down the road being filmed from a van. During this scene, the famous shot where the stall owner throws Rocky an orange was completely improvised by the stall owner, who had no idea that a movie was being filmed and that he would be in it.
WHAT??? Where was Dorn??? I have to go look that up RIGHT NOW.
Wow... I had to just look really hard at some still images to identify him. I think I need to both see his eyes AND his mouth without being covered by sunglasses or facial hair and both were the case in most of the scenes in this movie. Oof! I am usually good at recognizing actors like that!! Oh, but I love when I am totally surprised :)
I love how this movie was inspired by true events and also how they had several "make it work" moments. That includes the way they worked in the impromptu things like the orange.
I can't wait to see what the next movie in the series looks like! Perhaps more mature and organized? But will that actually take away some of the original charm? Hmmmmm...
Yeah, Michael Dorn being in this movie is a crazy thing! 😁
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
Stallone still has the turtles Cuff and Link. Stallone has said many times that Rocky is not a movie about boxing, it's a love story with boxing in it.
Rocky 2 starts off right where this one leaves off.
Excellent -- and I love that about the turtles!! I think that is what I might have already heard about those turtles. Something seemed familiar about them but I couldn't remember. Thanks!
The poster on Rocky's wall is of a real fighter Rocky Marciano as of writing this comment he is still the only heavyweight fighter in boxing history to retire undefeated as Heavyweight Champion of the world. He won 49 fights, 43 of which he won by knockout.
WOW -- quite a record! I was thinking maybe he would get some negative feedback for using the name. I don't mind if no one else minds! lol
THE STORY OF BUTKUS: Butkus was Stallone's actual pet. just before the Movie began, Stallone was so broke that he had to sell him so he could eat. With his first Paycheck from the Movie, he went to where he sold him and waited three days for the buyer to show up and bought him back at a HUGE mark-up.
The Lead Street Corner Singer was Frankie Stallone, Sylvester's brother. Frankie also wrote the Song they were Singing.
And I believe Stallone's dad is the one ringing the bell during the big fight.
Named after the late Chicago Bear Dick Butkus.
I recognized the name from sports stuff in the past. I love how this was a homegrown production! And I am so glad he got his puppy back!!!
I was fifteen when I went to see this on the big screen and it was amazing. I remember the buzz spreading about it and next thing you know it was a sensation. The spirit of the country's bicentennial was everywhere, which was reflected in the movie too. Great story that is timeless.
I was 15 when it first came out and I too watched it in the theatre. Everyone that watches it now days for the first time are confused with why Apollo dressed up the was he did coming into the fight. People don't make the connecting with the Bicentennial was that year.
I can't imagine the atmosphere in the country for bicentennial! Must have been quite the celebration on the 4th! They were already excited about it for New Year's Day!
Rocky won an Oscar for best picture. Thank you Christina great reaction next time Rocky II
Thanks! I can see why it won! Can't wait to keep going in the series :)
The next four movies really evolve the characters. Please watch them. They explore the tension and struggle we deal with in life.
I definitely have them on the radar for the future!!
A great movie. A couple of bits of additional info for the viewer could have helped, especially explaining how the match works (for example, lots of people wouldn’t know that it goes to 15 rounds maximum, and how points are awarded). I’ve seen numerous people unsure of whether he won or lost, and that confusion gets in the way of them seeing that Rocky wasn’t focused on that.
One of the subtle things I really like in the dialogue was when Rocky comes back to the apartment on the eve of the fight and confides to Adrienne that he can’t win. Her response is “What are we going to do about it?” The ‘we’ rather than ‘you’ was a tiny but clear indication that she was totally in his corner for the fights ahead.
She never seemed to do much (noticeably) after this except for in the Rocky franchise, but she was in The Godfather movies first as Connie Corleone.
Oooohhh I love the "we" thing. I haven't seen the Godfather movies so I look forward to seeing her there!
And yes, just a tiny bit of added info would have helped in that final scene!!!
Apollo Creed won the match, but Rocky won everything else. After the last bell he was still standing and nothing else mattered. He won the girl and the crowd. AND the Oscar! I got it, but most of the audience in the theater didn’t!!! They booed! I watched the movie several times and at the end there were less booing, as more people started getting it. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
LOL I can totally see how they didn't get it. I didn't completely at first, but I know better to accept that I obviously don't understand something and then take what I see at face value. I admittedly would have gotten more out of the ending without that brief bit of confusion, but it is still all Oscar worthy regardless!
6:50 "So there's another poster with somebody else called Rocky?"
Yep.
Rocky Marciano, a famous boxer in the 1940s and 1950s, heavyweight champion of the world for 4 of those years.
Though both men use the same nickname, Rocky, they don't really have the first name.
The real guy was born Rocco Marciano and the fictional guy was born Robert Balboa.
I'm pretty sure the Rocky in the movie didn't want to be known as Bob Balboa so he picked the nickname of his favorite fighter.
While he was eating dinner, apparently. I thought that was a funny line. lol So true to the character and charm of Rocky.
Rocky is a unknown club fighter given a chance to win the world heavyweight championship. He proved he was not a bum by going the distance with Apollo Creed the dangerous to fighter in the world. He won more than a heavyweight championship. He won respect and the heart of Adrian.
He won the heart of the world! And he seemed to find his own true heart, as well. I stand by my final assessment that this is a movie about heart!
In boxing there are 3 judges that score round by round. If it comes to a decision, they tally up the scores. A split decision means that at least 1 judge scored the fight in Rocky’s favor. But the 3rd judge scored it for Creed.
Right. That makes sense. I swear I heard something about it being 6-7, but maybe that was the punch count?
OMGoodness, this had nothing to do with sports. This was a straight old fashioned love story! I saw this when it first came out and I was in high school. This film touched America, people were in tears. All the other Rocky's in the franchise were more about the sport of boxing, this was about two people finding each other and the unbreakable spirt of true love. You should watch it again at your leisure and you'll understand ❤
Rocky is more of a love story than a boxing movie it's all the things happening in his life & boxing is just the crescendo
I agree and that was really a great surprise! A welcomed surprise. I can't wait to see how the characters play out!
The point about the red versus white pants remark near the climax. I think it was aimed at the announcer saying nobody cares whether Rocky’s pants are colored correctly in the poster because nobody really will pay attention to who Rocky is.
I also have been hearing it was a prop mistake and how they worked it in just like you described was genius!!
Boxing matches now can only go up 12 rounds, but they used to be 15 rounds. Each round lasts 3 minutes with a one-minute break in between.
That makes me exhausted just thinking about it!
I was 13 years old, me and my friends went to see it. We had a great time! "Yo Adrian!" Some of us went back to see it the next weekend. We all called 'beautiful girls' "Adrian" - much much later all of my cars were called Adrian :) Movie tickets at the time were $1.50 or so. So yeah, $40.00 was a decent amount of money. Many people don't notice or maybe just don't note that 'this neighborhood' we see isn't 'well off' so to speak and far from it. Most of us easily associated with Rocky because of that. Rocky is clearly paying to train with Mickey and there must at least be trust between Rocky and Mickey! It really hurts Rock when Mickey tells him: "It's a waste of life!" - it's also a 'disreputable profession' - one to be looked down upon, frowned upon. Rocky and 'everyone' of the time knows this, but Rocky seems to have little and no choice he had to make ends meet!
I think you are just describing how this movie was able to recreate real life for a lot of people and that is why it is a treasure. That must have been so fun to see it in the theater!!
@@okchristina Yes and YES! But that's only part of it there are probably more aspects to this than can be said, for one is how relatable Rocky & Adrian are! LOL
Hi Christina. The fight went the distance and 2 out of 3 judges thought Apollo Creed won. Hence, Rocky lost by a split decision. The current 3 "Creed" boxing movies are an extension of the "Rocky" films and have been VERY profitable at the box office (Apollo Creed's son). Merry Christmas !
I barely knew the Creed movies existed, but now I am so interested in them! I love the entire "going the distance" theme within this movie. Thanks!
19:00 The somewhat uncomfortable Rocky/Adrian first kiss scene.
Yeah, he was pushy, but he also took his time and gave her a hundred chances to say "no."
She never did (that I recall).
At most, I think Rocky didn't take "shy" for an answer, but he's a pretty good guy, I think he would take "no" for an answer.
I think so too -- that he would take no. I think he figured out that she did quite like him :)
My wrestling coach used to say, "Be a gritter not a quitter."
Clever guy!
Christina! Three judges. They scored by counting the times a solid punch was delivered.
Thanks! And ouch! (those solid punches!)
There are judges at boxing matches, and they score each round. If the fight doesn't end in some sort of stoppage like a knockout, the fighter with the most points wins the fight. A split decision means the judges didn't all agree on who won. So the fighter with the majority of judges supporting him wins. Heavyweight championship fights used to be 15 rounds. And part of Stallone's inspiration for the Rocky character was Chuck Wepner, who knocked Muhammed Ali down in a fight.
I wish they would have done a quick explanation scene so we all would know those rules! I may have to check out clips of that Ali fight.
Great Choice. I watched this movie when it first came out in 1976 in the theatre when I was 15.
Fun Fact: Budkis the dog actually belonged to Sylvester Stallone and sold it for just a few dollars cause he was very hard up for money. The guy he sold it to is the short fellow that works in the gym and helped train Rocky in the movie, When the movie struck it rich he bought his dog back but the owner charged his a ridiculous amount of money to buy him back.
ALSO: The guys singing around the fire near the beginning of the movie, one of them is Stollones brother.
ALSO: Pauly was a good boxer when he was younger.
Rocky won many awards from The Academy Awards and The Oscars.
Excellent fun facts. Thank you!! I'll have to look up the official list of the Oscars. Maybe even some of the acceptance scenes!
32:00 - The poster screwup was a legitimate behind the scenes error. But the movie was so low budget for its time that they couldn’t afford a replacement, so it was made part of the narrative of bringing Rocky down mentally before the big fight. Same thing with his cornermen’s jackets. They were originally white with red writing but after being put through the wash, the colors bled Xp
Wow those are some excellent "make it work" moments for the movie. Fits in very well with the plot itself, I think!
Great reaction! Welcome to the Rocky series!
Thanks! I am definitely hooked!!!!
An extra 10 thumbs up for knowing what a Zamboni is!
Ha! I've spent some time on ice skates!
now they can open their own pet shop, called 'knock out pets', and live happily ever after
LOLOL Perfect :)
Boxing information the rounds of 3 min with a minute in between. Championship fights are no longer 15Rds now for safety reasons they're 12Rds. If no one wins my knockout it goes to 3 judges & in this case Apollo won by split decision
You would think 3 minutes isn't very long but I think it is with some of those quick hooks aimed at your face!!
Sylvester's brother Frank is one of the singers by the drum can fire.
Aha! I knew it :) That is so cute thinking back about them shaking hands as he walks by them.
Hey beautiful! Can't believe you've never seen a Sly Stallone movie! He's done a few stinkers but there's a reason Rocky and Rambo are iconic! You should probably do both of those series!! See ya soon! Have fun!
Hello there and *blush*. But I know -- it's so weird!! I would have guessed I had seen him in SOMETHING because he is such a presence in my cultural awareness. But this is literally one of the reasons I started the channel. Time for me "fill the gaps!" (See what I did there?)
@@okchristina we'll be waiting!
@@okchristina (I did get the gaps reference!! BTW) 🤣
The dog, its actualy sylvesters, dog in real life,yeah he wrote the screen play, he was offered money for it, but would not sell the screen play unless he played rocky, sylvester was so broke, he sold his dog because he had no money to feed him, once he sold and got the money for rocky he bought his dog back, his dog is named in the credits at the end
Love it! I mean, hate that he had to sell him, but hooray for the happy ending!!
31:20 Tempo means "time" in Italian.
That is the Italian language edition of Time Magazine.
it's not limited to music.
I teach chess and it's a very important term and game-winning concept in chess, so while you would think "Tempo" is a music magazine, I might think it's a chess magazine.
That is now a thing I know! Thanks! Apparently just like chess, It is such a daily term for musicians that it's easy to assume it's just for music!
33:15 "What was that under his eye?"
Probably Vaseline or some other kind of greasy lubricant.
Makes the other guy's glove slide off of Rocky's face, reducing the damage of each punch in the face.
That is what someone else also mentioned in comments -- and I still can't help but think that's almost like cheating. lolol
37:30 "So they go 15 rounds and then it's a tie?"
Yes to 15 rounds.
Championship fights back then were always 15 rounds, but now they're 12.
Non-championship fights are usually shorter with some being only 3 rounds.
No to the tie.
There are 3 judges sitting on 3 different sides so they get three different angles of the fight.
Every time somebody lands a good punch, the judge scores it.
Every time somebody falls down, the judge scores that.
If somebody gets knocked out unconscious, the other guy wins by knockout.
If somebody gets knocked down and is conscious but cannot stand up within 10 seconds, the other guy wins by technical knockout.
At the end of a fight without a knockout, the judges add up their scores and declare a winner:
If all 3 judges pick 1 guy, he wins by unanimous decision.
If just 2 judges pick one guy and the other judge picks the other guy, the one picked by 2 judges wins by split decision.
If all 3 judges have it perfectly even, or if 1 judge has it even and the other 2 judges pick different winners (one picks Rocky, one picks Apollo), then it's a draw (tie).
In this fight, the judges were 2 for Apollo, 1 for Rocky so Apollo Creed won by split decision - it's kind of hard to hear with the music, cheering, and Rocky yelling for Adrian.
No, it's not like somebody decided it was 8-7 or anything like that.
It MIGHT have been:
Judge A had it 15-0 Apollo.
Judge B had it 10-5 Apollo.
Judge C had it 8-7 Rocky.
More likely round 1 was fairly certainly a tie and a few other rounds, like round 15, looked a bit like a tie. So maybe it was more like this:
Judge A had it 11-8 Apollo.
Judge B had it 10-9 Apollo.
Judge C had it 10-9 Rocky.
Or something like that.
And yes, boxing fans, I know how the 10-Point-Must system works but this post was long enough without trying to explain that, so I kept it simple.
Great to know! I enjoy learning the rules of other disciplines. I am a scholar with music so it is actually quite enjoyable for me to be a novice in other areas. I get to sit back and learn! Maybe that's weird. But not for a giant nerd like me. lol I still say I swear I heard the announcer guy say 6-7. I was assuming 7 judges total on some sort of panel. But maybe it was the points.
@@okchristina What you thought was "six to seven" was probably when the announcer said "split decision" at 36:04.
Those nearly sound the same, especially with all the other noise.
The last line in the movie is “I love you”. Such a great movie.
AGREED
35:00 Rocky knocks Apollo down.
"For real?"
Yes.
"I barely even saw what happened."
A left hook. Rocky's dangerous southpaw weapon.
"Did he do that on purpose?"
Rocky did it on purpose, so yes.
Apollo did not fall down on purpose.
Falling down deducts a point making it harder to win the fight.
Also, they take pride in NOT falling down.
Apollo Creed had never been knocked down in his career (they said so right at the moment you were asking this question).
So that would be a MONUMENTAL point of pride for him that he would never deliberately throw away.
I keep my headphone volume up a bit so I can hear lines over my own words, but I'm not sure I caught that one. I was wondering exactly how monumental it was!!
30:22 Actually no one knew who he was here. No one on the street knew that they were filming a movie, they weren't extras. They just saw this guy running down the street following a truck with a camera on the back. They did a few takes going down the street like that and the guy who threw him the orange, wasn't planned either. He was just selling fruit on the street and thought the guy who kept running by could use a snack.
I love that!!!
You will enjoy the first *(4 Rocky's )* There's character development with characters you've already met yet to meeet. One of them includes a fight against a Russian that you spoke of.
I knew it! A big tall blond dude. With a flattop haircut I think? That is all I can recall. Can't wait to keep going with this series!
@@okchristina yep I was trying to give you information without being a spoiler
Much appreciated
33:07 They put Vaseline on boxers faces. It helps punches slide off and helps prevent punches from causing cuts to the face. If a bad cut opens up above or around the eye it could cause the ref or the doctor ringside to stop the fight and award the victory to the other fighter.
I guessed right! I can certainly see about the cut issue, but I almost think it's like cheating. Like trying to catch a greased pig!!
@@okchristina I've seen fighters not use it or not use enough of it. Or their corners being unprepared to treat cuts or swelling properly, it is not good. It's not cheating at all, because the consequences of not using it are very real.
Adrian the heart and soul of all the Rocky movies!
And from what I've seen so far that is A LOT of heart!
Ahh, back when the streets of Philly were quiet in the mornings.
As a Philly kid, this movie brings back memories of my childhood (i was 5 when this came out). Philly is now nothing like it was back then, sadly.
I guess it is much more of a modern day big city. I've only visited there so it's difficult to really tell.
One of the singers on the street corner was Sylvester Stallone's brother Frank, and their dad was the man ringing the bell during the fight with Apollo Creed.
I really do love how scrappy Stallone was making this movie. It was a family effort!
@@okchristinaIt won't be the last time that he uses family members in the franchise either.
Um clássico absoluto❤
Sim!
The pants on the poster being wrong was a legit mistake, but they didn't have the time or the budget to get another one done, so they added the scene of Rocky pointing out the mistake to the promoter. But it does fit the story that nobody cared about him being the underdog.
Yeah, he gets to have it reinforced that he's viewed as not important enough for them to get it right and being mostly red I think it coincidentally fits with what Mick said, "You're a tomato". lol
Hm interesting take with the tomato. I think they did a great job working the pants into the storyline. I also like that they are called "pants" lol It makes me giggle for some reason.
@@okchristina Yeah, it's common for low skilled fighters and fighters past their prime, used as easy opponents and guaranteed wins against, to be referred to as tomato cans or a tomato or can for short. Just a human punching bag, in there to get their behind kicked and take the loss for the pay. Pretty depressing to view oneself as that.
I mainly watch these to see lady’s reaction to him swallowing the raw eggs. They didn’t have all the fancy protein shakes… the change from that first really sad, early morning run to the victorious feel good moment when he goes bounding up the steps and cheering himself on to self actualization/ celebration
Beethoven wasn’t ALWAYS deaf… (nerd!) 🤓
Well, it's a good scene! LOL I agree that the journey from that first eggy run to the steps celebration is pretty fantastic.
And my pride in being a music nerd abounds lololol
Talia Shire was really sick while filming and that's why the kissing scene was strange. She didn't want to get Sly sick.
Oh no! What a nightmare having to do a make out scene with someone or being someone who is ill at the time.
Nice reaction, Rocky is a classic! Also did you get a new haircut? Looks cute! 😊😉 I like it.
Thanks and yes I did! It's finally short enough to not get tangled in all the cords during recording so I don't always have to wear it up. And it really is a classic movie! Loved it. Can't wait for more!
@@okchristina Ah I knew it! haha. Oh I'm sure that's helpful with the wires haha. Oh definitely! Wait to you see the rest haha. An emotional rollercoaster for sure. Merry Christmas🎄 or Happy Hanukkah whichever you celebrate!😃😃
frank was a singer, you will see him in the second one as well, i wont spoiler it, where he sings agin
Cool :)
In *1975* money that opening fight he won *$350* & was paid *$250* in *2023* dollars
Still not enough!! His poor face :(
@@okchristina I know it's not enough but when we're watching older movies in the seventies and eighties inflation needs to be taken into account
It’s a book with boxers and their information.
I gathered that much -- had no idea such a thing existed and how!
The original always the best!
Ok the judges decided Creed got more punches in so he won. Now.... You have to watch Rocky 2, its even better
It's in the future mix!
Funny you mentioned the Karate Kid movie and soundtrack being done by the same person. The song "You're the Best" that they used in that movie during the tournament montage was going to be used in Rocky 3, until "Eye of Tiger" was written for that movie.
Nu-uh!! I love both of those anthems! My ear was definitely on to something.
You're going to love the montages in Rocky II.
Excellent. Can't wait!
Please watch every single film in this series.. then the creeds 🌠I saw this in the theater when I was 8 .. the greatest movie franchise of all time 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
I will do my best to make that happen!!
great reaction! u should continue on and watch the other rockys!
Thanks -- I plan to!
Creed won the fight as 2/3 judges awarded the decision to him. The fact that even 1 judge thought Rocky won says a lot about how well Rocky did, however, as there is a bias towards favoring the champion and yet this 1 judge still thought a complete unknown had beaten him.
That makes the story even better! Love it!!
technically, ur chances of getting worms increases, but mostly if you are Jewish and never had pork. We Irish and other backgrounds have eaten so much raw meat that the chances are nil since our stomach bacteria have seen it before, lol
That sound reasonable. But also, I just love quoting A Christmas Story whenever I can ;)
Watch Rocky II. You will not be disappointed.
Planning on it!
SLY was 30 when this was made
A little behbeh!
Adjusted for inflation, $150,000 in 1976 would be worth $800,000 today!
Wowza!!!!!
converse high tops were comfy..I wore them in basketball 1981-1984..dont know where you got that from? lol
All the converse I have worn just never seemed to break in. The soles always seemed unforgiving and would give me blisters and strain my ankles a bit after too much walking. They were not high tops so maybe that makes a difference??
Looking forward to the rest! :)
More of the series to come on the channel for sure!
I hope you watch this Rocky series up to the 4th one... It's a great story and entertaining!
I'll go as far as I can on the channel!
I like that u notice the music
..you’re obviously a musician, right ?
Yep. Two performance degrees and years spent on the stage, composing, and teaching. It is literally my job to notice the music (but of course I obviously love it also).
8:45 "So are they all boxers like Rocky? Or are there just a few that are really good?
Nobody in that building is really good.
If Rocky were really good, he'd be making more than $40 per fight.
Rocky Marciano (the wall poster guy) was really good - he earned 1.7 million in a 10 year career that ended 20 years before this movie takes place.
But to your point, most boxers are never good enough to get paid anything.
Amateurs fight for the sport without pay, professionals are the ones who get paid.
Probably most people in this gym are amateurs but maybe a few might be crappy professionals like Rocky.
To be clear, what Rocky was doing in that fight at the beginning was very unskilled boxing and some illegal stuff too.
Same with the other guy.
So how can I say Rocky is a bad boxer given the rest of the events in this movie?
The one and only thing Rocky has that made this movie possible was definitely not skill.
It was the ability to suffer enough damage that most men would be dead or at least unconscious, but he took it and kept fighting.
The dude seems to ignore pain and absorb punishing damage like nobody ever has in the real sport.
Almost super-hero ability to get the crap beat out of him and still keep fighting.
If he had a second thing, it would be that he's very strong and can hit hard when he doesn't miss.
Weak skills means he misses a lot and gets hit a lot, but when he gets some punches in, they are brutal.
It can be difficult to gauge the skill levels within a profession, including the amateurs. Like with symphony musicians, there are several tiers from volunteer community orchestra to top tier philharmonics where you can make some bigger bucks but the competitions is TOUGH. This definitely makes the whole system a bit clearer for me. Thanks!
Great Reaction....
The "Rocky" Movies are movies about Relationships and Personal Growth, with a little Boxing thrown in......
The scene where Rocky points out the shorts are the wrong color, was added cause the printer messed up the poster/prop and they didn't have enough money left in the budget to correct it, Same thing with Rocky's robe being the wrong size..... So they wrote in dialogue to address it.....
The Creed Movies happen after the Rocky Movies, the Creed Character is Apollo's Son......
Excellent. And thank you, as always! :) Yes, it is all about the heart! I love that. And how scrappy they had to get in the production. I will definitely have to consider the Creed series! Thanks!!!
Reaja a Rocky 2.
Vou tentar o meu melhor
Why didn't the turtles get a credit? The dog got one. That's reptilianist.
LOL True!! They even had cute names. Wonder if they are their real names?
@@okchristina He referred to them as Cuff and Link in an interview I once read, so I presume those are their real names.
Hot principal
Sound constantly cutting in and out. Maybe TH-cam bullshit
Yeah, definite restrictions on sound bites. Thanks for watching anyhow!
I'm assuming you've adjusted the audio to keep from getting blocked, but you're not showing longer clips, so it doesn't really matter. It was very off-putting to listen to Rocky speak in slow motion.
You do know you must drink raw eggs before every reaction now... it's the rule!!!
Can't I just heat them up for just a minute or so?? ;)
Seems like the kissing scene always make today's audiences cringe... should we feel embarrassed to think it was a tender and sweet moment?
Maybe it was almost a little too realistic? Real life can sometimes be quite awkward. I think this movie is dedicated to showing the slowness and awkwardness of real life that it almost makes the viewer uncomfortable. Once I realized she was into it I certainly put it into the sweet moment category.
You really missed the message of this movie.
Uh-oh. Thought I had it. My guess was heart -- Rocky's big heart, the couple's love, how proud the community was of him. I would love to hear a differing viewpoint!
What’s with modern women and the word “creepo”?
I can honestly say I have no idea! I thought it was an old term!
Her reaction is OK but she keeps trying to be funny and her "funny comments do not land" also seems like she wants to comment when there's nothing to really comment about, like trying to fill in silence or something. Not watching the rest of the reactions, they're just not for me, Good luck though!
What is funny to some may seem just like an annoying stream of consciousness to others. It is definitely individual taste! I love watching other reactors and there are some that resonate with me and others that just do not at all. Thanks for the honest feedback and watching anyhow!
