Yeah, definitely not the best Rocky movie, but it always holds a special place in my heart because I was in middle school and picked on a lot when I saw this, so it I was also going through the process of learning to stand up for myself like Rocky's kid. That said, the follow up to this one is pretty excellent.
Rocky having the brain issues is what causes him to change his style and start street fighting instead of boxing Tommy, to protect his head. Also, calling Tommy out in a street fight was a way of showing up Tommy while not giving Duke what he wanted, which was a promoted boxing match that would make him money.
Correct. Bare knuckle fighting is way easier on the head than boxing is because a guy can only throw unprotected punches so hard before he breaks his knuckles.
Please watch Rocky Balboa and the Creed movies!! I really liked the realism of this movie imo. In the fact that after boxers and athletes retire, after they get bad injuries, this is a realism for them. They could lose everything, and struggle a lot. It's sad, but it's true, and it's happened to more than a few athletes in general. I didn't like A LOT of the Tommy story line. It was okay for a little bit, and weird for the rest IMO.
@Rick King 22 I'm preparing my sum-up reaction to Alien: Isolation, and more to come in the future, but I have a lot of content to share as well before that
A few years ago, I became friends with one of Stallone's bodyguards when he visited our festival in Madrid. He said he was with Sly when he wrote Rocky V. Which he did in only 8 hours. Which explains a lot.
Also the studio was rushing Sly to make a other rocky movie while he was filming a movie dident have time to write a good Rocky movie and the studio got invold
It’s not the best in the series, but it’s not a bad movie. There is some good stuff in this film. If you ever get the chance to see the workprint, it’s way better. The workprint has the Bill Conti music, more Mick flashbacks, and Eye of the Tiger!
1:12-1:22 - I was in that high school marching band that played a marching band hired by George Washington Duke. It was in the middle of my 10th grade year of high school (I was 15 going on 16), and we had to ride a bus down at 4am from our high school in the suburbs of Philadelphia to the Overseas Terminal portion of Philadelphia International Airport. We spent most of the day standing on that tarmac, either actually playing "Gonna Fly Now" or miming playing the song (we had actually recorded a performance of it a week or two earlier). It was really surreal seeing the main cast walking around us; with Stallone actually walking up to one of my bandmates to shake hands with him. At the end of our time, we got an opportunity to do a meet-and-greet with the cast (I only got as far as shaking hands with Tony Burton, who played Duke; Apollo's former cornerman who later became Rocky's cornerman). We also got a group picture with our band and the cast.
15:15 - I think it's a stereotype about Greeks, not Italian. 18:06 - The rest says: "you both come" (he speaks with a Sicilian accent in this movie so it may not easy to catch it for non-native Italian speakers). 32:35 - This time he said: "You gave him a beating, eh?"; Translated to English is more something like: "You beat him good, eh?"
i used to get bullied a lot too, frequently *because* of rocky movies-my name is ADRIAN) and only sometimes would they stop if i fought back. i always fought back, actually.
Its amazing seeing someone watch these movies for the 1st time and get so emotional over them. Im eagerly awaiting you watching rocky balboa. you are really gonna get emotional with that one
Yup. I know it is shocking for fans that just want to see the best happen for Rocky and adrian, but without conflict between Rocky and adrian, all of the hurdles have to come from outside their relationship, and the circumstances they were hit with in Rocky 5 were huge. In a way, Rocky 5 setup the great performance he would turn in for Rocky Balboa, and especially Creed I.
The only reason this is considered a "bad" Rocky movie is because of the Tommy stuff imo. Like yeah, there has to be some sort of fight I guess or that's what people thought, but the better story is Rocky's fight with mental and physical troubles
@@CrazeeAdam I don't think people hate Rocky 5 because of the Tommy stuff. I think they hate Rocky 5 because of how low they brought Balboa down. Between the health stuff and losing the money, it's a downer. Seriously! I think people were simply bummed to walk out of the theater without Rocky either getting 1) a clean bill of health and/or 2) getting his money back. This, juxtaposed to Rocky 4, which was essentially a cartoon on par with "GI Joe: a real American hero", that people still don't question the quality of To. This. Day. That's why I'm so glad that the Rocky Balboa character is still so informed by the events of this movie. Also, a former heavyweight boxer being down and out was a huge dose of reality that was missing from the movie before it.
@@CrazeeAdam Like I've said I like this movie because it's more personable than the 3 or 4, it's showing that fame is fleeting. I mean Rocky's practically forgotten and washed up after his Punch Drunken nature stops him from being boxer and all his money's gone. But yeah, the only bad part is Tommy as his plot doesn't really go anywhere.
@@odiumgeneris729 true but this is a realism for a lot of boxers and athletes. Like this is real for a lot of sports stars post their prime. As sad as it is, it's real. I think the movie would have been a better story with just Rocky and his son's relationship.
I love the relationship between Rocky and Adrian. They love each other so much that they're not giving up on each other. They're sticking by each other and working through their problems.
I didn't like Rocky V at all. But I am SO looking forward to seeing your reaction to "Rocky Balboa". I really want to see it. It really completes an arc for me, personally, as well.
The original ending (and you can watch it on TH-cam) had Rocky dying after the street fight. It was a lot darker with none of the cheesy jokes ("He took my room!"). But they made them change it so they could have more sequels.
I have a feeling that George Washington Duke was somehow involved in the Balboas' financial troubles as a means of getting Rocky to fight. Anyone else get that feeling?
Rocky lost all his money due to a unscrupulous money investor putting all money into stock market after Paulie who was signed on to be power of attorney and worked with the corrupt investor. The money was all lost and Duke himself is corrupt boxing promoter trying to get Rocky to box as knows he could make a lot of money of Rocky and tried to convince a brain damaged Rocky that he could make a lot of money and get him of debt.
as bad as the reputation of rocky 5 is, it is a good step back into rocky reality after the robot-superhero-musicvideoclip-cheese of 4 ..... wonderful movie rocky 6 then brings you back into the "real" rockyverse.
This is not my favorite Rocky but watching you watch this was fun. The next one is my favorite cannot wait for you to watch it. I think you will love it too. Great reaction ❤
Rocky v has only a few things going for it: the concept behind the story-a boxer, our hero suffering from post concussion and who tries to relive the glory days through another boxer? interesting! a awesome into? yes! A heartbreaking mickey speech? Yes! Plus the guy who portrays duke Washington is funny! Plus he's based off the real life villain don king. I feel he was the misused character of the movie. also, the remixed rocky gonna fly now is lit. But yeah its the weakest. Perhaps its biggest pro is that it leads into rocky 6; it was both a necessary stumbling block for stallone but also within universe it puts our hero back to where he started in rocky .
7:30 the only thing Paulie did was give Rocky the papers which he repeated the lie that was told to him from the thief accountant. This happened after Apollo Creed died so Rocky wasn't in the right head space and signed the papers without thinking to get ready to go to Russia to fight. Rocky: hey Paulie what's this? Paulie oh it's from the accountant he said it's your tax extension papers and it needs your signature. Rocky:alright whatever let's get going. Paulie: Rocko I still can't believe you're fighting for no money at all...
I would say that the Creed Movies are included in the Rocky franchise, even if they are a bit tonally different. I mean, there's too much that connects them, especially Creed 2...like with a certain Rocky film, Creed 2 loses all meaning pretty much, so they are pretty intertwined IMO
FYI Tommy was a real boxer. Tommy Morrison was his name. He later after this movie came out won the WBO World Heavyweight title. Originally the WBO wasn’t seen as a major organization until the turn of the century. Now the WBO is recognized as 1 of the big 4 with the WBC, WBA, & IBF. Tommy posthumously is now a fully recognized former world champion (just not lineal. Don’t ask). Yes posthumously. He died from aids. Tommy couldn’t keep it in his pants. Even after he passed his gf seems to not want that to be the cause of his death and claim he didn’t have it. Dude partied a lot and was a whore. He was reckless and got nabbed with the std
Rocky V definitely isn't the best sequel out of the series, but it actually does have a few good moments. That being said and now your past this point, I can promise the rest of the sequels are so much better! Can't wait for your reaction of Rocky Balboa. That was such a big surprise when I saw it in the cinema.
As a kid, I saw this movie, knowing only Rocky 3 and 4, and I didn't liked it. It felt lame that this final fight for Rocky was a street fight. Plus I didn't liked the overall story it told. Now, as an adult, I actually prefers it to Rocky 4, and possibly also to Rocky 2. Cause I matured enough to understand that the Rocky movies were never about boxing. They were about fighting against life, when life tries to get you down... And that's what this movie does much better than the 4th one.
After you watch "Rocky Balboa"... you might consider reacting to "Cinderella Man". IMO, it's not nearly as dramatic as Rocky, but for me it was even more touching and moving... and considering how touching and moving Rocky was... that says a lot. One of the big differences is that "Cindrella Man" is based on a real boxer.
Well hopefully she watches Creed!! I would say Rocky the original movie and character is semi based off Sylvester Stallone (who was an amateur boxer, and got a chance and make it big from the film industry). But after the first one that's where similarities end. But hoping she likes Creed!!
Yes Sage Stallone who played Rocky Jr or Robert was wanting to be called in the movie died at age 36 of a heart attack in 2012 and his co star Tommy Morrison (Tommy Gunn) died a year later in 2013 at age 44 also from heart failure and multiple organ failure.
Not one of my favorite Rocky movie but it is ok. Fun fact I just recently learned that actor who plays Paulie used to be a pretty good boxer in his youth. Also Fyi his son in the movie is Stallone real son who tragically died in the age of 36. I also recently learned that the guy who Tommy Gun is also a real boxer who tragically died . The ring with the church is the same ring from the first movie
The more I watch this movie, the more I appreciate it, it has it's great moments, it only got ruined, by cringey dialogue, and unfitting music choices. it also has the best Adrian Line in the entire franchise.
This is actually my second favorite Rocky movie (after the original), but I always thought it was unrealistic that anyone would ever give Paulie Andy kind of control over their finances.
@@miker.9138 he did he sign rocky name Rocky and his wife dident know if you look back at that secen Adrián was telling pualie about what he did and so does the lawyers
If you are looking for a good Rocky type movie, check out the 2005 Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Thomas Newman collaboration, CINDERELLA MAN. Also starring Rene Zellweger and Paul Giamatti, it is a biopic of a real heavy weight boxer who captured the imagination of the entire country during the Depression Era. There's also has a heartwarming relationship sidestory in it as well. Awesome movie and being a true story makes it ten times better IMO than any Rocky movie. You will not be disappointed.
This was intended to be the final Rocky movie. But it just didn't work as well as they'd hoped. So years later, Stallone made Rocky Balboa to be Rocky's last movie. And it is a top notch movie easily on par with or better than every other movie in the series. It would have been a great send off for Rocky. But then along came the Creed movie and series. Rocky isn't necessarily front and center, but he's still the heart of the story. Both Creed movies were excellent.
The measurement of a true Rocky fan is when you can appreciate this film for what it is. You are a fan already. Don’t worry, it just gets better from here if you decide to watch the last Rocky and the “Creed” movies.
Yea the movie isn’t the most liked from the Rocky franchise but it’s the small things about this movie that makes it special. Sadly it’s overwhelmed by other things that didn’t make sense and other. Please don’t stop watching the Rocky franchise. Rocky 6 is amazing and Creed is almost like watching the originals again
Maybe this is the lowest point in Rocky's franchise, but don't worry.... Rocky VI (Or Rocky Balboa, as the movie title actually is), ends the franchise in a really high note.....
Hi Duaffy!🙂This was supposed to be the final Rocky film. Sylvester Stallone had regrets after this film, and wasn't as hands on making the film. Don't despair due to the views, "Rocky Balboa" is liked much more this this film.
This movie was not my favorite Rocky movie, I love that Burgess Meredith came back to play Mickey (I think this was his last performance cuz he retired for years but he came back to do Rocky 5). This movie though has a deeper message that's very sad, at least in my opinion. For example, the growing pains between a father and the son, which unfortunately later on became true as his son in real life who plays his son in this movie took his own life. It was also very sad story because Tommy Gunn was supposed to be a victim of greed and what to do wrong as an athlete and yet Tommy Morrison who played Tommy Gunn actually ended up destroying his life and his career and he passed away from so many drugs and women. This movie just saddens me watching it, seeing how art imitated life.
It wasn’t his last performance although he didn’t much between Rocky 3 in 1982 and Rocky 5 in 1990 as did slow down in films was in his 70s when did Rocky 3 and did do movies including Santa Claus in 1985 not the Tim Allen movie of 1994. He voiced a character in 1986 G.I. Joe. The Movie. He went on to do Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men in 1995 his final film after Rocky 5 in which he was in stages of Alzheimer’s disease from which he died of complications from age 89 in 1997.
I think for the longest time this was hated because it was the ending. and it just didn't live up to the franchise. Now that we have the sixth movie and 2 creed movies with Rocky this movie has become better in the context of the overall story
I felt the plot had some potential but the writing and feel of the movie was off. I agree that this did not have the same feeling and energy of the previous Rocky movies. The movie just fell flat. Duke and Tommy Gunn just seemed to over the top also....more over the top than Clubber Lang and Drago. But I'll admit that I do watch it from time to time (guilty pleasure I guess) but I definitely won't go out of my way to watch it.....if it's on tv or I do a Rocky marathon, then I'll watch it but other than that, it's a pass. Great reaction, Duaffy....can't wait to see your reaction to Rocky Balboa (aka Rocky 6) and the Creed movies.
The actor playing as ROCKY Jr. in this movie is actually Stallone's real life son (Sage Stallone), sadly he passed away 10 years ago.
Yeah, definitely not the best Rocky movie, but it always holds a special place in my heart because I was in middle school and picked on a lot when I saw this, so it I was also going through the process of learning to stand up for myself like Rocky's kid. That said, the follow up to this one is pretty excellent.
you know its going to be an interesting movie when Paulie is the voice of reason - it only took 5 movies, but i think this was his redemption arc too
I think this and Rocky Balboa he is actually a really good guy and character.
paulie's deleted scene in Rocky Balboa, is his real redemption arc
I know its not the best rocky movie but that scene between rocky & mick💔👌
On the trip back from Russia Rocky went through an "Interstellar" like time warp thus his kid doubling in age.
“Not the best Rocky movie.”
Understatement Of The Year.
Rocky having the brain issues is what causes him to change his style and start street fighting instead of boxing Tommy, to protect his head.
Also, calling Tommy out in a street fight was a way of showing up Tommy while not giving Duke what he wanted, which was a promoted boxing match that would make him money.
Correct. Bare knuckle fighting is way easier on the head than boxing is because a guy can only throw unprotected punches so hard before he breaks his knuckles.
15:15 - Today I learned Duaffy can bark just like a doggy.
yeah
The next movie is a great conclusion to the series, please watch & react!
Please watch Rocky Balboa and the Creed movies!!
I really liked the realism of this movie imo. In the fact that after boxers and athletes retire, after they get bad injuries, this is a realism for them. They could lose everything, and struggle a lot. It's sad, but it's true, and it's happened to more than a few athletes in general. I didn't like A LOT of the Tommy story line. It was okay for a little bit, and weird for the rest IMO.
Rocky Balboa will break your ❤.
Nuff said but powerful movie
I'm glad you decided to do the full rocky journey.
It wouldn't make sense to skip it (imo)
@Rick King 22 I'm preparing my sum-up reaction to Alien: Isolation, and more to come in the future, but I have a lot of content to share as well before that

Duke is basically inspired by Don King a real life promoter that has pulled crap like what Duke did jumps on any chance to promote a big fight
This one is severely underrated.
20:07 That rapid applause when Robert gives the bully a knuckle sandwich 🤣
"90% of them are carrots". 🤣🤣. You are correct without knowing it. I am Welsh. In the Welsh language, the Welsh word for carrot is "Moron". 🤣
Its amazing seeing someone watch these movies for the 1st time and get so emotional over them. Im eagerly awaiting you watching rocky balboa. you are really gonna get emotional with that one
It's nice to see, how emotional you go with each Rocky. 🙂
I love the fact that this one has massive consequences for Rocky's health, after the fight with Drago he's not the same anymore and wouldn't be.
Yup. I know it is shocking for fans that just want to see the best happen for Rocky and adrian, but without conflict between Rocky and adrian, all of the hurdles have to come from outside their relationship, and the circumstances they were hit with in Rocky 5 were huge.

I love the relationship between Rocky and Adrian. They love each other so much that they're not giving up on each other. They're sticking by each other and working through their problems.
I actually LOVE this one. It's cram-packed full of heart.
I didn't like Rocky V at all.
But I am SO looking forward to seeing your reaction to "Rocky Balboa".
I really want to see it.
It really completes an arc for me, personally, as well.
I honestly thought about this channel today, forgot the name but glad I came across it again, awesome reactions/awesome movies!
Good reaction! The next one, Rocky Balboa, is the best of the series, except maybe the first one.
There she is!
The original ending (and you can watch it on TH-cam) had Rocky dying after the street fight. It was a lot darker with none of the cheesy jokes ("He took my room!"). But they made them change it so they could have more sequels.
Rocky Balboa redeems the franchise.
I have a feeling that George Washington Duke was somehow involved in the Balboas' financial troubles as a means of getting Rocky to fight. Anyone else get that feeling?

I love your reactions greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
OMFG!! You cut out the best part...When Mickey says ~ "Get up you son of a bitch! Because Mickey Loves You!"
as bad as the reputation of rocky 5 is, it is a good step back into rocky reality after the robot-superhero-musicvideoclip-cheese of 4 ..... wonderful movie rocky 6 then brings you back into the "real" rockyverse.
Very clearly George Washington Duke and boxer Union Cane are Rocky V's versions of Don King and Mike Tyson.
This is not my favorite Rocky but watching you watch this was fun. The next one is my favorite cannot wait for you to watch it. I think you will love it too. Great reaction ❤
R.I.P. Tommy "Machine Gunn" Morrison! He died 1st September 2013 at the Age of 44!
Much like Rocky, ya gotta keep going!
Rocky v has only a few things going for it: the concept behind the story-a boxer, our hero suffering from post concussion and who tries to relive the glory days through another boxer? interesting! a awesome into? yes! A heartbreaking mickey speech? Yes! Plus the guy who portrays duke Washington is funny! Plus he's based off the real life villain don king.

The movie Rocky Balboa is great. Can’t wait for the reaction. Are you going to do the Creed series too? They are great.

Paulie: Rocko I still can't believe you're fighting for no money at all...
I agree. Not the best, but it has moments. ROCKY BALBOA is pretty damn good.
The next rocky movie is my favorite
OMG !!. Ricky 5 is awsome too !!
Keep going! There's 1 more film and then you can start Creed and Creed 2.
Please keep going :) they only get better and better
I love all the Rocky/creed movies including this one. 4 is actually my least favorite of the 8 movies but for most people it's this one
YOU HAVE NOT REACT TO THE WANDAVISION SERIES?!I hope you react to it soon♡♡♡♡
"Mickey loves you."😢
Cinderella Man (2005) is a true story movie about a real boxer unlike all the Rocky movies. Much better movie.
The last one (Rocky Balboa....I don't count Creed, even if I enjoyed it) is one of the best 😉
Yeah. The Creed movies are their own thing, like Tony Stark showing up in the Spider-Man movies doesn't make them Iron Man movies.
I would say that the Creed Movies are included in the Rocky franchise, even if they are a bit tonally different. I mean, there's too much that connects them, especially Creed 2...like with a certain Rocky film, Creed 2 loses all meaning pretty much, so they are pretty intertwined IMO

This may not be a popular opinion, but while I'd agree that this is not a great movie, I actually like it more than Rocky IV.
I`ll say one thing! The next one Bring some Tissues!
Hi Duaffy!
Not only is this not the best, it is by far and away the worst of all the Rocky movies. Stallone majorly stepped in it when he made this movie.
even tough this is the cringiest ROCKY movie, I still find it better than ROCKY 4 interms of writing.
hi y sorry love your channel but saw this once , that was enough
I agree.
Oohh…..
You heard what Paulie said.
”It’s latin for spanish nuts.”
😉😎
Well……”the redhead in the front row……”
😎😇
Well all Romance languages derived from Latin. And most countries use the Latin alphabet.
Rocky V definitely isn't the best sequel out of the series, but it actually does have a few good moments. That being said and now your past this point, I can promise the rest of the sequels are so much better! Can't wait for your reaction of Rocky Balboa. That was such a big surprise when I saw it in the cinema.

And Cinderella Man is a true story, although it was embellished for Hollywood.
The Cinderella Man was awesome!
THE saddest part of this movie is Stalone's son, who starred in this movie and later died.
Yes Sage Stallone who played Rocky Jr or Robert was wanting to be called in the movie died at age 36 of a heart attack in 2012 and his co star Tommy Morrison (Tommy Gunn) died a year later in 2013 at age 44 also from heart failure and multiple organ failure.
Rocky was originally meant to die because of his brain damage but the studio & Stallone decided to change the ending.
Please do Rocky Balboa and the Creed Series next
Rocky should’ve accepted Duke’s offer ! He would have been back on top and then he could have retired ! Rocky fought Tommy for nothing !
Not one of my favorite Rocky movie but it is ok. Fun fact I just recently learned that actor who plays Paulie used to be a pretty good boxer in his youth.

Yes. Tommy Morrison was Tommy Gunn.
The more I watch this movie, the more I appreciate it, it has it's great moments, it only got ruined, by cringey dialogue, and unfitting music choices. it also has the best Adrian Line in the entire franchise.
This is actually my second favorite Rocky movie (after the original), but I always thought it was unrealistic that anyone would ever give Paulie Andy kind of control over their finances.
He dident he went behind Rocky back he thought he could make a lot of money but it back fried
@@jjohnson4013 I mean, at some point, they had to have given Paulie power over their finances. Unless Paulie forged their signatures.
@@miker.9138 he did he sign rocky name Rocky and his wife dident know if you look back at that secen Adrián was telling pualie about what he did and so does the lawyers
I would say that Rocky 4 should have been the last Rock movie.
If you are looking for a good Rocky type movie, check out the 2005 Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Thomas Newman collaboration, CINDERELLA MAN. Also starring Rene Zellweger and Paul Giamatti, it is a biopic of a real heavy weight boxer who captured the imagination of the entire country during the Depression Era. There's also has a heartwarming relationship sidestory in it as well. Awesome movie and being a true story makes it ten times better IMO than any Rocky movie. You will not be disappointed.
This was intended to be the final Rocky movie. But it just didn't work as well as they'd hoped. So years later, Stallone made Rocky Balboa to be Rocky's last movie. And it is a top notch movie easily on par with or better than every other movie in the series. It would have been a great send off for Rocky. But then along came the Creed movie and series. Rocky isn't necessarily front and center, but he's still the heart of the story. Both Creed movies were excellent.
The measurement of a true Rocky fan is when you can appreciate this film for what it is. You are a fan already. Don’t worry, it just gets better from here if you decide to watch the last Rocky and the “Creed” movies.
Not the best rocky movie but underrated with very good parts! The song at the end is measure of a man by Elton John! Great song! Oh and your pretty!
Yea the movie isn’t the most liked from the Rocky franchise but it’s the small things about this movie that makes it special. Sadly it’s overwhelmed by other things that didn’t make sense and other. Please don’t stop watching the Rocky franchise. Rocky 6 is amazing and Creed is almost like watching the originals again
Maybe this is the lowest point in Rocky's franchise, but don't worry.... Rocky VI (Or Rocky Balboa, as the movie title actually is), ends the franchise in a really high note.....
Don't you do any reviews or lets plays of games anymore, Duaffy?
Hi Duaffy!🙂This was supposed to be the final Rocky film. Sylvester Stallone had regrets after this film, and wasn't as hands on making the film. Don't despair due to the views, "Rocky Balboa" is liked much more this this film.
Just get to the next one.
Hola La Duaffy, I hope you react to Raging Bill starring Robert Deniro and directed by Martin Scorsese.
Wasnt my favorite movies although now i appreciate it
This is the 1st one that everyone hated.
Might not be the "best" but it aint that bad.
This movie was not my favorite Rocky movie, I love that Burgess Meredith came back to play Mickey (I think this was his last performance cuz he retired for years but he came back to do Rocky 5). This movie though has a deeper message that's very sad, at least in my opinion. For example, the growing pains between a father and the son, which unfortunately later on became true as his son in real life who plays his son in this movie took his own life. It was also very sad story because Tommy Gunn was supposed to be a victim of greed and what to do wrong as an athlete and yet Tommy Morrison who played Tommy Gunn actually ended up destroying his life and his career and he passed away from so many drugs and women.
This movie just saddens me watching it, seeing how art imitated life.
It wasn’t his last performance although he didn’t much between Rocky 3 in 1982 and Rocky 5 in 1990 as did slow down in films was in his 70s when did Rocky 3 and did do movies including Santa Claus in 1985 not the Tim Allen movie of 1994. He voiced a character in 1986 G.I. Joe. The Movie. He went on to do Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men in 1995 his final film after Rocky 5 in which he was in stages of Alzheimer’s disease from which he died of complications from age 89 in 1997.
I think for the longest time this was hated because it was the ending. and it just didn't live up to the franchise. Now that we have the sixth movie and 2 creed movies with Rocky this movie has become better in the context of the overall story
What a beautiful woman I love your reaction 💯🔥🔥🔥
I cannot wait for the next! It's my favorite in the franchise.

❤ROCKY E MICKEY❤
The worst of the bunch, which is saying something.
I felt the plot had some potential but the writing and feel of the movie was off. I agree that this did not have the same feeling and energy of the previous Rocky movies. The movie just fell flat. Duke and Tommy Gunn just seemed to over the top also....more over the top than Clubber Lang and Drago. But I'll admit that I do watch it from time to time (guilty pleasure I guess) but I definitely won't go out of my way to watch it.....if it's on tv or I do a Rocky marathon, then I'll watch it but other than that, it's a pass.
Great reaction, Duaffy....can't wait to see your reaction to Rocky Balboa (aka Rocky 6) and the Creed movies.
i thought it was a dog puppet
R.I.P Sage Stallone!!!
not a good sports movie, but a movie none the less.
I like how you pretend to have watched those movies for the first time :)
