@@gsquat Nah, I would not skip 5. It's definitely not the best in the series, but it's still incredibly important character development for Rocky. It explores his role as a husband and father
Agreed! I would tell people don’t skip any of the movies, not even Rocky five which is easily the worst of the franchise, but even that one has its moments.
People are always surprised. Rocky is a love story with boxing in it not the other way around. At the end he is satisfied with how he did and that's all that matters to him. He is completely focused on finding Adrian and does not pay attention to the result of the fight at all. Such amazing writing and it deserved best picture.
Carl Weathers was a natural athlete. In his younger days he was active in boxing, judo, gymnastics, wrestling, soccer and football. He played in college and played 2 seasons of pro football.. 1 season for the Raiders, and 1 season in the CFL before becoming a full time actor.
There are 6 Rockys total. They are all absolutely worth watching. This is my absolute favorite original series of all time. I've watched every reaction to it and still get emotional with the reactors because they are that good. Great reaction to the first Rocky. You've earned a subscriber! ❤
Love the fact that you love this movie, The point of this movie was not for Rocky to Win, But for Rocky to prove to his doubters and haters that he can "Go the Distance", To prove that he isn't a Nobody. We all have that "Rocky Mentality" when it comes to our lives, to show that we are more than what people view us as, that's why this movie is timeless and resonates with so many people. This movie for all the times I watched it, I always shed a tear during the fight. Truly a classic and Inspiring movie and one of the best sports movies of all time!!
Notice Rock & Adrian never say "I Love You" until the end. He loses the fight BUT he won a moral victory. Beautiful film. Won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1976
"And now they're cool again?" "Yeah, I don't know how that works.." It works because Paulie is shameless and Rocky doesn't doesn't have a resentful bone in his body. Salt of the earth.
I’m kind of amazed at the number of people who are all into the sequels. I saw Rocky in the theatre and went back at least ten more times. I was thirteen and nothing else in my life was so motivating and comforting. It’s the best underdog love story ever made. I saw each of the sequels once when they were released but never again. For me, this is the story of Rocky and is the best love story ever made! Enjoyed your reactions 😊
Good one AJ&S! All of the Rocky movies are fun to watch, but my personal favorite is the last one, #6. Glad you enjoyed the first one. Thanks for sharing it!
This is my first reaction I've watched posted by you two. I like your editing style. Makes it enjoyable to watch the film and your reactions. Going to watch more videos posted on this channel. Glad I found this channel.
It was SO exciting to see this in the big theater when it first came out, during all the activities in the country based around the Bicentennial in 1976. It was the first time I saw an entire audience stand up when it ended, clapping and cheering, as if everyone was at a live concert. People walked out of the theater, practically dancing, hugging each other, everyone full of smiles and laughter. It was obvious that it was a massive hit, that the positive energy and excitement were something everyone needed and wanted at that moment.
Great reaction! Thanks for that! And crazy that Sylvester Stallone not only wrote the screenplay, he won the Academy Award for best original screenplay.
I was sixteen when this first came out and seeing it on the big screen was amazing. I remember the buzz spreading about it and next thing you know it was a sensation. Great stories stand the test of time. Great reactions, brought back good memories.
The whole point of this initial installment of the franchise, that Rocky reached his potential and gave it all he had, and that in the end it didn't really matter as long as he lived up to his potential and found the love of his life, was lost in the preceding films. It DIDN'T matter whether he won or lost, but that he gave it his best and got the best of his opponent. That's where self pride resides.
I think someone else did comment that Sylvester wrote this as a love story. I believe in addition to writing all the others, he also directed them. The dog in the movie was really his, he was listed in the end credits. I’m surprised you didn’t mention “Yo Adrian” unless I missed it on the first reaction, that is a very well known saying in pop culture.
You guys are really good at this. You keep the movie in the correct ratio to yourselves. That way we can see your reaction. Then you make the movie bigger during the key dialogue. 10/10 reaction
Really liked your reaction to such an iconic movie! Happy to see you let it breathe and appreciated all the important dialogue! Got to at least watch Rocky 2 & 3. Those are both just as good, if not better!
Born and raised in Philly. Rocky franchise is definitely worth the watch!! It's really a love story with boxing. They get better and better then after Rocky Balboa is CREED. There fantastic and all tie in together. New here and just subbed and I bet the pretty lady will be crying and love this franchise by the end of Rocky 2. ❤
Rocky is a love story with boxing in it… just fyi… when he wrote the movie, he went through a rough time and to make ends meet , he sold his dog…. Years later he tracked the dog down and bought it back… the dog in the movie is Sylvester real dog. Rocky won best picture in 1976 . Now you can’t stop you need to watch the rest… Rocky 2 it gets better. Oh one more thing… in the beginning when Rocky is walking home and a group of guys are singing.. the one in the middle Rocky shake’s his hand is his real life brother who is a singer and it’s his song they are singing his name is Frank, you see him also in Rocky 2.
Rocky 4 has great memories for me as I was old enough to see it in the cinema, childhood memories 🙏🏻, there all enjoyable 4 sure,nice Reaction, ofcourse this is a 10 movie!..Good job guys ,this movie was so low budget and became loved
Butkus the bull mastiff was Sylvester Stallone actually his dog, but had to sell him to feed his family. After he sold the script for Rocky he bought him for 10 times the amount he sold him for. He still has the turtles, they're probably out live all of us. When go through the whole franchise including the two Creed movies, you both are going see that this is a love. Not just with Adrienne (Adrianna) but everyone in Rocky's life.
I can't wait to see your reaction to Rocky 2. A lot of people think that it is even better than the first one. But all of the Rocky movies are awesome!!
@@ajandselena I subbed, hoping you will at least get to number 3 co-starring Mr. T, and it will surprise you how they are utilizing him as an actor in Rocky 3. The sequel to this first one is also perfectly made: Rocky II
Just found your video. Can’t wait to watch. Just some advice ahead of time if you’re thinking about watching the Rocky series, along with the Creed films, do so! Don’t skip any of them, not even Rocky five!
0:03:34 I remember working lots of all day laborer jobs in the 70's to come home with $20 at the end of the day. A friend of mine moved to California and got a $5hr job, I thought he was Richie Rich ;)
Love your reaction to Rocky. Its such a great underdog? love story . Check out Braveheart (1995), its a another epic award winning movie. Scotland fights for independence against England, Underdog, war , bloody old school battles, love and courage. Cant wait for your next reaction, you guys have good reactions and comments and your cool people.
Rocky series is must watch, a lot more story to the Rocky Franchise with emotions and many twists and character development , also please add warrior with Tom hardy to your collection , one of the most underrated mixed martial arts movie of all time . Amazing storyline and emotional
I remember that side pain. You come back to school from summer break, and right off the bat, you have to run 3 miles on your first day of gym class. That was back in the late 70's and 80's for me. I don't know if they still make kids in today's world do that anymore.
Rocky didn't " force" Adrian to do anything he asked her out , if any one was forcing anything was Paulie but u made it seem like rocky was forcing when Paulie didn't even tell her he was coming then he lied to Rocky about it
He may have been a lone shark but you can definitely see that he cared about Rocky. He gave money to Rocky to take Adrian out and he was at his wedding in Rocky 2
I cannot wait to watch ALL of the Rocky’s with you!! There are 6!! And 3 Creeds !! You MUST MUST see every single one ASAP⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Let’s Go☑️Greatest Movie Franchise in History💯☑️
2 3 4 are great 5 is the redheaded step child but still needed then Rocky Balboa finishes the saga out very well. Sly said in an interview that Rocky is not a sports movie. It is a Romantic Saga that just happens to involve a Boxer. Through the Saga you follow Rocky through decades of his life and his romantic Saga with Adrian
This one is a bit different from the other Rocky movies because the punching sounds in the fight are closer to what a real fight sounds like. Starting Rocky 2, they add more sound effects to the fights. But a real fight probably would have been stopped if the fighter used his face to block so many punches. The ref in the ring is supposed to make sure the fighters can get their hands up to defend themselves.
I just watched your Reaction to Rocky, dead serious, you guys need to watch ALL the others in a Row. They are all good. I would also Love to see your Reaction to 1994 The Crow, and The Last Samurai. You Two have the Best Reaction, and you actually sit there and watch the Movie. Hopefully you guys watch those 🤞
The fact that while the judges decide who won, Rocky only cares about seeing Adrian makes it one of the most epic endings in film history. In the end the winner was Rocky.
The amazing thing with Rocky I was how realistic the fighting was. Every fight scene in every movie before this ranged from fake to very fake to painfully fake. The set new standards for the body doubles and stunt teams that followed.
the fight that inspired Stallone to write this film was Mohammad Ali vs Chuck Webner many TH-cam videos tell it's story probably not worth a reaction but for your own education it is worth checking out
I don't think anyone mentioned it, but he had to sell his pet dog for food and was almost dead broke when he wrote this. Butkis in the movie IS his dog. He bought him back when he sold the script.
Usually you find a consensus that I, II and III are the best but a lot of people love the whole series. Some fun facts: The guy bringing the trash can out wearing the hat is the guy that bought Stallone's dog. Stallone was broke and sold the dog. To get the dog back he had to agree to put him in the movie. The steady cam was invented for Rocky. Before cameras were too big and had to be mounted on a dolly or vehicle. This is why you get the iconic stair running scene and the intimacy of the fight. Still the lowest budget for a movie to win an Oscar. $1.1 million dollars and shot within 30 days. Stallone turned down a ton of money for the script. They wanted a big star but he held out to star in it. United Artists almost held the movie back. They had two other movies they thought would win the Oscar that year. Rocky came out late and pulled the upset winning Best Picture. Star Wars was released May of 1976 and Rocky December of 1975, 5 months apart. The guy leading the singers on the corner is Stallone's brother and the man ringing the bell at the fight at the end is Stallone's father.
Great reaction. The Rocky series are good. Rocky II, and III are amazing. Rocky III is my favorite due to the story. Rocky admired Apollo and he was the better fighter. He just underestimated Rocky fighting spirit. Rocky yes was not as skilled but had heart. As you said, he didn't care about winning he just wanted to prove he could stand with the Heavyweight Champion. Also, you got to see Adrian grow to Rocky's love and support. She started timid, but started to come out of her because Rocky loved and believed in her. FYI, Sly actually loved Carl's portrayal in audition aka Carl's comment to Sly not only won him the part, but their friendship too. Like Sly said there is no Rocky without Apollo :)
Rocky II would be my favorite. You should at least watch the first four although the whole franchise is a must see. Fun fact Stallone himself said that Rocky was more of a love story than a boxing movie. Great reaction.
Pro tip...rocky marciano was an undersized heavyweight, but is the only pro to ever go undefeated. He ran 5 miles, every day, in full industrial work clothes and work Boots!😮😮😮 He was always in way better shape than anyone he fought!
I just want to know how old are you guys back in the day before phones and Internet that’s the way people communicating with each other the way people hooked up
You should watch the entire series plus Creed 1, 2, and 3. Regardless of what anyone in your community says. BTW, Burt Young (Paulie) was the real boxer. He has a 32-2 record as an amateur in the Marines and a 17-0 professional record after.
Sylvester Stallone wrote the script after watching (in the stadium) ALI V WEPNER (who was a funny dude himself) went 15 but took a proper beating. The rest is history as they say.
Thank you all so much for stopping by and watching our video! Let us know what are your thoughts and any recommendations on what we should do next!
ROCKY II ASAP!!!
Star Trek the original movies
Problem is dialogue is interrupted and blanked every time a character says something .
Absolutely worth watching the entire Rocky Franchise. Do NOT skip any. You will love Rocky more and more with each film!!!
You should absolutely skip 5, even according Stallone. He regrets it, deeply.
@@gsquat Nah, I would not skip 5. It's definitely not the best in the series, but it's still incredibly important character development for Rocky. It explores his role as a husband and father
@@Dave-hb7lx “Ya, well, you know .. that’s just like your opinion man”. - the dude (big Labowsky). 😂😂
Big drop off after Rocky III
Agreed! I would tell people don’t skip any of the movies, not even Rocky five which is easily the worst of the franchise, but even that one has its moments.
RIP Carl Weathers

"Hey, where's your hat?" gets me every single time.
Notice Rock & Adrian never say "I Love You" until the end. He loses the fight BUT he won a moral victory. Beautiful film. Won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1976
Great Reaction! I'm glad you noticed Rocky & Adrian's love grow for one another❤. Can't wait to see your Rocky 2🥊 Reaction .
Thanks for watching!

For clarification, Apollo won by split decision (rounds won by Apollo:Rocky respectively) -- 9:6, 8:7, 7:8

Great reaction! Thanks for that! And crazy that Sylvester Stallone not only wrote the screenplay, he won the Academy Award for best original screenplay.
Do what Rocky did. Go the Distance. Rocky 1 thru 5 then Rocky Balboa. THEN do the Creed franchise. You'll be glad you took the journey!
That's a must! We loved this one so much, we'll definitely be doing the others :)
@@ajandselena P. S. When asked, Sylvester Stallone said that Rocky wasn't a boxing movie. It was a love story.

The whole Rocky series is great. It also makes the Creed series much more rewarding when you know the backstory.
Nice! Glad we're starting from the very beginning ;)
Great reactions keep up the great work🗣️
They did such a good job with the ratio, i.e. making the movie big only for key moments.
You guys are really good at this. You keep the movie in the correct ratio to yourselves. That way we can see your reaction. Then you make the movie bigger during the key dialogue. 10/10 reaction
That was the great thing about Gazzo, he was a good friend to Rocky. Looked out for him.
Really liked your reaction to such an iconic movie! Happy to see you let it breathe and appreciated all the important dialogue! Got to at least watch Rocky 2 & 3. Those are both just as good, if not better!

Yes he wrote the screenplay in 3 days and the movie ended up winning like 10 academy awards.
P.S. Adrian’s glasses are stylish!

He got the rocky hat at Goodwill. Most of Stallone's family is in this movie his father is the ring man his brother is the street singer.
Love your reaction to Rocky. Its such a great underdog? love story . Check out Braveheart (1995), its a another epic award winning movie. Scotland fights for independence against England, Underdog, war , bloody old school battles, love and courage.

28:40 all that yelling to vent and then he took a breath and thought twice
It seems like I watch Rocky....I have to watch each one after each...of the original 5.
Rocky didn't " force" Adrian to do anything he asked her out , if any one was forcing anything was Paulie but u made it seem like rocky was forcing when Paulie didn't even tell her he was coming then he lied to Rocky about it
Absolutely correct. Paulie was for sure wrong! I was just stating how I would have felt in her situation. Thanks for watching :) -Selena

My pop (film major) used to have lunch with Carl Weathers (theater major) when they were in college at San Diego State.
Everyone think gazzo wants something from rocky. He didn’t.

Rocky is ALL ❤

rocky was trained by popeye himself. 'I'm mickey the sailor man, tchoo tchoo'

With this, you have a new subscriber. Please do the rest of the movies in the series.
2 3 4 are great 5 is the redheaded step child but still needed then Rocky Balboa finishes the saga out very well. Sly said in an interview that Rocky is not a sports movie. It is a Romantic Saga that just happens to involve a Boxer. Through the Saga you follow Rocky through decades of his life and his romantic Saga with Adrian
Part 2 is great. Part 3 and 4 are my favs! The movies keep getting better and better until part 5. Enjoy the journey!

You Two have the Best Reaction, and you actually sit there and watch the Movie. Hopefully you guys watch those 🤞
Yessss 🙌🏼

Yes. 2, 3, and 4 next.
Gotta do part 2 at the least. As far as sequels go, this is as good as the 1st
As great as this one was, 2 is indeed as good as the first. I actually got just as emotional during the sequel.
The fact that while the judges decide who won, Rocky only cares about seeing Adrian makes it one of the most epic endings in film history. In the end the winner was Rocky.
Rocky II is better. Ev1 that has a soul cries for joy at the end..
CLÁSSICO INESQUECÍVEL🎥❤
More than boxing, its life.
The amazing thing with Rocky I was how realistic the fighting was. Every fight scene in every movie before this ranged from fake to very fake to painfully fake. The set new standards for the body doubles and stunt teams that followed.

I don't think anyone mentioned it, but he had to sell his pet dog for food and was almost dead broke when he wrote this. Butkis in the movie IS his dog. He bought him back when he sold the script.
YO! Save some of that for the sequels! I think both Rocky & Rocky IV are the best ones. Story and music/sound track wise.
We can't wait!
Rocky II is very good as well.
Usually you find a consensus that I, II and III are the best but a lot of people love the whole series.
Some fun facts:

The steady cam was invented for Rocky. Before cameras were too big and had to be mounted on a dolly or vehicle. This is why you get the iconic stair running scene and the intimacy of the fight.
Still the lowest budget for a movie to win an Oscar. $1.1 million dollars and shot within 30 days.
Stallone turned down a ton of money for the script. They wanted a big star but he held out to star in it.
United Artists almost held the movie back. They had two other movies they thought would win the Oscar that year. Rocky came out late and pulled the upset winning Best Picture.
Star Wars was released May of 1976 and Rocky December of 1975, 5 months apart.
The guy leading the singers on the corner is Stallone's brother and the man ringing the bell at the fight at the end is Stallone's father.
No way!!!! Thanks for those facts! Stallone's brother could have had a singing career!
Great reaction. The Rocky series are good. Rocky II, and III are amazing. Rocky III is my favorite due to the story. Rocky admired Apollo and he was the better fighter. He just underestimated Rocky fighting spirit. Rocky yes was not as skilled but had heart. As you said, he didn't care about winning he just wanted to prove he could stand with the Heavyweight Champion. Also, you got to see Adrian grow to Rocky's love and support.

FYI, Sly actually loved Carl's portrayal in audition aka Carl's comment to Sly not only won him the part, but their friendship too. Like Sly said there is no Rocky without Apollo :)
Such a great story all around!
1 and 2 are the best, 3 and 4 are still great! Don't skip any though because Creed 1 and 2 are really great movies!
Rocky II would be my favorite. You should at least watch the first four although the whole franchise is a must see. Fun fact Stallone himself said that Rocky was more of a love story than a boxing movie. Great reaction.
Pro tip...rocky marciano was an undersized heavyweight, but is the only pro to ever go undefeated. He ran 5 miles, every day, in full industrial work clothes and work Boots!😮😮😮
He was always in way better shape than anyone he fought!
Welcome to the Rockyland…
I just want to know how old are you guys back in the day before phones and Internet that’s the way people communicating with each other the way people hooked up
You should watch the entire series plus Creed 1, 2, and 3. Regardless of what anyone in your community says. BTW, Burt Young (Paulie) was the real boxer. He has a 32-2 record as an amateur in the Marines and a 17-0 professional record after.
Sylvester Stallone wrote the script after watching (in the stadium) ALI V WEPNER (who was a funny dude himself) went 15 but took a proper beating. The rest is history as they say.
