There’s a deleted scene after Paulie loses his job which REALLY should have been kept in. It completely humanises Paulie and you see how much he regrets a lot of his life and how much he loved his sister and Rocky. It’s actually heartbreaking to watch him break down
Agreed. It made absolutely ZERO sense for them to cut that scene. Not sure what Stallone was thinking...
@@adamlone5548 - I think it was mostly cut because it mentioned Paulie's girlfriend...since all of the girlfriend scenes were also cut prior...
It’s the most amazing scene and is almost an epilogue for Pauli. It’s a shame they left it out. Hope you react to the scene!
@@MLJ7956
That's precisely what it was. It would have created a continuity and confusion issue if they had left that scene in after cutting all the others that showed or mentioned Paulie's girlfriend.
they should've never cut that part out of the movie
Addie at the start: "I love Rocky and Adrian and their relationship"
Me: "Uh-oh"
I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE 😭
@@AddieCounts when can we expect the Creed reactions? Think you'll enjoy those too
It was even worse for Rocky IV. She said this is my first Rocky reaction since Carl Weathers passed.
Was thinking the same thing. 😂
Rocky did win. He overcame doubts. He won his son back. He honored Adrian. He saved Marie. He helped Paulie confront his guilt and loss. He won respect from the world for his performance, including his opponent. He satisfied his soul. That's how winning is done.
I love that he leaves the ring before the winner is even announced and he is more interested in his friends and family and in showing appreciation to the crowd. He doesn't need his hand raised anymore because as you said, he already won.
@@Ithro-Ithrozovich Just like Rocky 1...."winning" was about going the distance.....keep moving forward.
Won a lot of things figuratively but still lost
@@Aniboiii5600 won at life....the fight worth winning.
@@tektoniks_architects again, another figurative thing he won.
I love how Mason Dixon was not a bad guy. He was a warrior frustrated that there was nobody out there who could really put him to the test. Rocky gave him a gift, giving him a chance to find out who he was.
Mason even had the decency to tell Rocky that they dont have to hurt eachother.
They apparently once asked Adrian's actress if she was upset they killed her off for this movie. She said no because if you read the script the entire movie is about her.
I was checking the comments before making a similar comment.....
Also heard that she actually was contacted to take her role back, and was the one to suggested that Adrian should be dead for Rocky to have this need of fighting again. I don't know in what extend it could be trusted, but it's a nice story.
A lot of folks were upset that Adrian died before the beginning, but apparently the idea was that Rocky would start the movie essentially alone, except for Paulie.
@@67Daidalos Exactly. Rocky's a little pissed at the world because Adrian died... thats why he has that "beast in the basement" that he needs a fight to get rid of. If she were alive they'd just be enjoying their golden years together. No movie in that.
8:54 In case you don't remember, This guy (Spider Rico) is the guy Rocky is fighting at the very beginning of the FIRST movie.
Yes, lots of callbacks.
28:11 Fun Fact: These three girls running up the steps are Sylvester's daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet Stallone
interesting... I didn't know that
Found that out from watching "The Family Stallone" Good series.@@WOLFENCT
"I love the Rocky and Adrian relationship".....Ah oh
I didn't know what I was getting myself into!!!
The last fight against mason was actually filmed at a real boxing event. The audience was there to watch that and stallone filmed two different endings, one he wins and one he loses so the audience wouldn’t know till the watched the Final Cut. Stallone was actually apprehensive about filming in front of an actual live ordinary crowd but the crowd were chanting “Rocky “ on their own volition.
Apparently the Mike Tyson cameo was originally going to be Clubber Lang but a deal could not be struck with Mr T.
Mr. T has said that he was filming his own reality show at the time and couldnt due to scheduling conflicts
ah man, that wouldve been awesome
If you go back, every fight included a cameo of a genuine boxer.
If the cameo did happen, Clubber Lang was going to be portrayed as a man who turned his life around and was now a preacher.
No, Clubber was supposed to have Spider Rico's role. Mike Tyson was given a cameo because he kept persisting to play as Mason lmao
Sly knew he could not leave Rocky's legacy with Rocky 5 so i'm really glad he put a lot of thought and took his time with this one, I know he appears in the Creed movies but for me this was the best way to give such an iconic character a great send off.
So glad they didn't use the alternate ending where he won the fight as that's not what this movie was about
Yeah an only creed ,coz Irwin wrinkler got stallones baby and not giving it bk ...an to think henry is such a sweetheart
@@adamwilkinson6783Henry Winkler and Irwin Winkler are not related.
@@terminallumbago6465 are they not thanks for keeping is ryt,am pleased there not related loved the fonz an his sandler films
Rocky has always been about the good-hearted common people just trying to make their way in the world. Rocky and Adrian were the quintessential underdogs who leaned on each other through whatever life threw at them. I know everyone talks about how Adrian supported Rocky, but it's also highlighted in the movies that Rocky helped break Adrian out of her shell and gave her the confidence to voice her opinion without fear. "How did you get so tough?", "I live with a fighter". Their love story is the backbone of the franchise and why it will remain loved forever, because everyone internally hopes to have that kind of love in their life.
All the best movies are about
🎵 The _POWER_ of Love 🎶
I always love how every reactor misses the fact that the guy Spider Rico, the one who wanted to do the dishes in the restaurant was the guy Rocky was fighting in the first scene of the original movie.
As a non-reactor, even I didn't notice until I saw the movies enough times.
Spider Rico is a pretty deep cut in the overall Rocky mythos, so it doesn't surprise me when most people don't catch it.
I can see why though. He was only in about 5 minutes (being generous) of the very first movie and was never seen or mentioned again until five movies later. Plus most reactors space out the their reactions to these movies and react to several other things in between.
Paulie is ashamed how he treated Adrian,he did love her.😢. Also the part were rocky gets blind by the light that was not in the script, Sylvester Stallone added it
16:10 There is a beautiful deleted scene at this spot where Paulie breaks down in tears telling Rocky that he misses his sister. Since I am a fan-editor, I have TWO versions of this film. The one you're watching right now, but with the deleted scenes reincorporated, and a second one with all of the deleted scenes AND the alternate ending which I re-titled "Rocky VI"
Rocky is one of cinema's greatest characters - such a fitting coda for the franchise. His speech to his son still shows Sly has the chops for acting. FYI: He & the producers approached Talia Shire for her blessing in Adrian's death - she approved.
22:36 It was a directorial decision to film the first half of the boxing match in Hi-Def with the same camera angles you would see were you watching an actual match on pay per view. This is why it feels so real.
After the second round it returns to "movie mode."
But the punches are not real
Fun Fact: At the time this movie was made, Antonio Tarver (Dixon) was the current boxing champion.
True, albeit light heavyweight instead of heavyweight.
This is my favorite one, and the first Rocky movie I saw in theaters (I was born in '90). Got to go to a free preview screening, and took my brother, as Rocky is one of his favorite movies. We literally ran a mile home afterwards we were so happy and filled with adrenaline. We went on to see it two more times in theaters with seperate family after that. Love this movie.
I'm old so I got to see the original premier in 1976 (mom and dad took me) and every movie after until V when I was on the road as a driver. I saw IV 8 times at college dragging 2 different girls I was seeing that year. lol. Inspirational.
Sorry but comparing this trash with the original is sacrilegious
@@DanceySteveYNWA - You're here, why?
@@maximillianosaben why not?
@@DanceySteveYNWA- The point being, you're the only one here who compared this movie to the original. You committed the sacrilege, genius.
This is the greatest speech in a movie that I have ever heard. I have this on my wall so I can see it everyday.
Great reaction to this great movie Addie... Rocky's speech to his son wasn't just for him but Stallone himself was speaking to us all "it ain't how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward". That's gold right there....also this film was a little bit inspired by Gegore Foreman, when at age 45, he won the boxing world heavyweight championship, something no one thought that he would be able to do at his age....Like Little Marie said in the film "you'll prove the last thing that ages about a person is their heart". The character of Rocky is always such an inspiration & this film was such a fitting way to end the series (until the Creed films - which do act as a spin-off/side stories in the Rocky universe)...
Finally in CREED 1 Stallone won Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes in 2015. While deserved it just for CREED, many voters said they gave it to him for ALL the films and playing ROCKY in general.
I love how the Rocky films left a lasting impression on you, the actors and the emotions and how much he misses Adrian. Amazing to think these Rocky films evolved over 30 years. RIP Paulie and The Duke, Apollo Creed - Burt Young, Tony Burton and Carl Weathers.
Early in 2009 (the 40th anniversary of the original "Rocky"), my girlfriend and I went to the theatre and we saw the poster for this movie. Because the film was called "Rocky Balboa" and not "Rocky VI", my first thought was "Oh nooo. They canNOT do a remake of a classic". Luckily before OUR movie started, a trailer for "Rocky Balboa" was shown and I was SOOOOO happy to find out that it's a continuation.
If you can find the deleted scenes (including the alternate ending) I highly recommend watching them. NO SPOILERS, but BOTH endings are VERY believable.
It was deliberate on Stallone's part. He shot the movie normally and then when they got to the actual fight they shot it with the HBO crew, cameras, lighting and everything - the absolute gold standard of airing boxing live. Everything was filmed before an actual HBO PPV. They shot both endings so on the DVD is the alternate ending where Rocky is announced as the winner.
So why has Stallone the authority to shoot ?
@@lexkanyima2195 he asked. The HBO commentary team and staff have cameos. Everyone there are all Rocky fans. Free HBO advertising. It's win-win for everyone.
@@megafan2000 and how long they shot there ?
@@lexkanyima2195 I'm seeing things that say they shot before the PPV and some after. I presume now it was after so the arena would be as full as possible and they wouldn't have time constraints. I read something that Rocky got bigger ovations than Taylor or Hopkins that night. The Rocky-Dixon press conference was shot right after the actual press conference.
For Ocean's 11 I read they shot their fight scene on Thursday night before the PPV (Saturday).
@@megafan2000 wow, that was so realistic to shoot
Boxing changed from 15 rounds to 12 rounds back in 1982 (WBC), 1987 (WBA), and 1988 (IBF), heavily pushed after the death of a Korean boxer Kim Duk-koo. Studies on his brain during the autopsy and subsequent analysis concluded that his brain had become more susceptible to damage after the 12th round.
Exhibition matches choose how many rounds they want during the contract negotiations. and is primarily 3-8 rounds depending on the boxers/athletes but for some reason this movie chose 10. Sometimes in exhibition matches there is glove size changes to limit damage received (going from 12oz to 16 oz) as a larger glove weight has quite a bit more padding. Headgear can be used sometimes, as well as minimum amount of certified monitored training amounts (current minimum 12 weeks). Exhibition matches are usually a result of significant age differential, skill level, cross-over athletes from different sports, as well as charity events.
Rocky and Gandalf give the best pep talks.
Thinking of "So do all who live to see such times. But it is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you"
It's amazing that even w/o Adrian, "Rocky" is still a love story.
Let's give Addie a round of applause for officially completing the Rocky franchise. 👏👏🎉🎉 Happy Wednesday. The Rocky road now smoothes out with Rocky Balboa (2006). See you soon for Creed (2015).
I think Rocky Balboa is either my third or fourth favorite Rocky movie. It feels a lot slower than the other five, but it has of heart, and I enjoyed it. I know there were plans for 7, but ending it with this one makes sense.
I've revisited this reaction about a dozen times now. This movie, combined with Addie's sincerity, is good therapy.
I love this movie. It is my favorite of all the Rocky movies. Thank you for sharing this one with us, Addie. 🙂
Check out George Foremans comeback. It's kinda what Rockys was modeled after. Long retired, way heavier. But he still could hit a ton.
Only George Foreman was in his late 30s,not late 50s like Rocky is supposed to be here.
@@DanceySteveYNWA he was 45. And.he also won the championship which Rocky didn't. It was just modeled, after all.
"Yo Adrian we did it"
Also the boxer spider is also the guy rocky first fought in the first, in the run down arena.
I'm 70 and still working so I am encouraged seeing seniors still working hard to make a mark in the world. I'm not ready to make walking the dog my only chore in the day.
Been laughing and crying with you through out all the Rocky movies. Kinda sad that it's over. Been a true pleasure! Thank you for the great reactions!
The beast inside Rocky was talking about here was what Apollo was feeling in IV.
To me the Rocky movies are not only about boxing. Its more than a love story but its about life. Life has it's up amd down but if you can keep moving forward then you a true champion
22:35 Yeah, Stallone switched to digital video cameras for the start of the final fight to really make it feel like a television broadcast of a real fight, good pick up on that aspect...
And it was shot during an actual HBO pay-per-view. I honestly wonder how Michael Buffer felt announcing an 'actual' Rocky bout. (He WAS in the fifth one but it was for Tommy Gunn/Union Cane, IIRC).
So why it editing weird ?
Hi Addie!😊 Regular boxing was changed from 15 rounds to 12 rounds in the 80s. This one definitely had a feeling of realism. The film is very grounded. Great reactions to this well made Rocky film, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
I like how Paulie and Rocky kind of switch roles with each other in this movie. Rocky was always there for Paulie and Paulie is there for Rocky during his hardest time in his life.
Spider was the first fighter Rocky fought in the first film.
Yo Addie you did it. It’s been a pleasure watching through the Rocky Universe with you.
I literally live by the sunshine and rainbows speech it's one of the best speeches I have ever heard in my life.
Same.i like the Braveheart it's our wits that makes us men
@@atomfallen2409 that's a good one too.🙂
YEAA Addie they waited until a real boxin match was over, and then filmed this in front of paying fans! the punches were pretty real and stallone got stunned a few times. Just an amazing finish to Rocky's boxing career
This is one of the few movies I saw in theaters that made me cry. The scene where he has it out with his son hit me so hard. When I was younger and hadn't figured things out quite yet my Dad had a conversation like that with me. I felt every word of that when I heard it.
It is my great pleasure to watch people fall in love with these movies.
I’m very excited for your go at the Creed movies. I hope we don’t have to wait too long. 😅
"What do you recommended?"
"It's all edible."
I love that they gave Rocky a restaurant. Because Apollo, in the first movie during an interview with them both, said that if he can't fight, he can cook.
I love how much these characters mean to you in the short time you've known them. It is a testimony to the storytelling, the heart, and the amazing job each of the actors did in these films. There are few movies that have ever impacted people like Rocky did...and the fact that he could do it in 6 films without fail is amazing. I have watched the Rocky films my whole life. I grew up with them. I saw a few in the theater. And I am now nearing 50 and still cry when I watch these movies!
It always warms my heart when I see people end up loving this series. Especially if they aren't fans of sports or boxing (I'm not and I love them too). I love seeing how much these characters end up meaning to them and especially how many tears are shed along the way. :) I think a few reactors would probably end up listing Rocky and Adrian as their favourite movie couple.
Great reaction Addie! Adrian was the movie. From his daily cemetary visits, the restaurant name, talking about her to others, and her picture the night before the fight. The "beast inside" is what is usually called "the killer instinct". Rocky had a hard time accepting that he had the killer instinct passion to fight that he had in his youth - but he didn't have the physical tools to fight anymore. The exhibition fight drained the beast out of his system, the applause made him feel relevant and gave him closure with his boxing career. React to Stallone in "Nighthawks" (1981) - THEE MOST UNDERRATED COP MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Fighting international terrorism in America 20 years before 9-11-2001.
Thank you, Addie. For watching these movies. Love you.
Spyder Ricco was the very first fighter Rocky fights back in Rocky. Its cool they brought him back in this film.
What I love most about this movie is that it brings the Rocky saga full circle. He started the first film as the underdog, going into a fight he didn't think he would win but only caring about still standing at the end of the fight. Then in subsequent films, he became heavyweight Champion and we saw him in his prime. But by this final film he is an older man, long retired from boxing - so again, he goes into the fight as the underdog and not really concerned with winning, but just about proving he can still do it. It finishes on the same note as the first film - he fought not for money or glory or a title, but to prove to himself that he has what it takes.
This proves that age is a number
So I love the Rocky films I can quote “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows” scene almost perfect. Anybody who’s been through rough times can find inspiration from these films. I find myself using several quotes on the rough days. “I’m a fighter” “Going in one more round when you don’t think you can, that makes all the difference in your life” “I didn’t hear not bell, one more round” “It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward!” And of course “get up you son a b*tch, cause Mikey loves you”
It has been an absolute delight to watch you experience Rocky. ❤
Loved your reaction Addie. I had a hard time watching this movie as my father felt the same loss when my mother died. I know with today's societies view on men and women. My father loved my mother with all his heart and loved every part of her and wanted her to achieve all her dreams. On her death bed (due to cancer) she told my dad he was her angel. When my mom passed the look on my dad's face. A strong and compassionate man was broken. It really hit me how much he loved her, and I feel that the way Rocky talked about Adrian.
SO GOOD! Such an amazing capstone after the prior 5, and remarkable in it's own right.
This was probably THE saddest of all the Rocky movies... but even though Adrian is not in the movie, Adrian's presence is still very prevalent. I still love this movie. I watch this the night it came out... the theater was quite, I had never seen grown men and kids crying. ❤ this movie.
This is such a beautiful callback to the first film, and a great completion to his journey over the course of the films. It obviously cannot work without the first, but still better than the other sequels in my opinion!
The three young girls seen running up the steps to the museum during the closing credits are Sylvester and his wife Jennifer's daughters Sofia, Sistine, and Scarlett Stallone.
He’s in Creed 2 and it’s a must watch to get closure for Rocky 4
Loved watching the Rocky franchise with you! ❤ Hope you continue with CREED. As a borm and raised Philly chic, I loved them! You will fall in love with the characters and Rocky is in 1 and 2. 😊
"Lemme tell you something you already know... the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows... it's a very mean and nasty place. And I don't care how tough you are, it'll beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life! But it ain't about how hard you hit... it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward! How much you can take, and keep moving forward! That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits! And not pointing fingers saying, 'I'm not where I wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"
I know that speech like the back of my hand. The day I heard that speech, it stayed with me my entire life. To this day I think it's one of the best speeches in cinematic history.
So glad you finally got to this movie and THAT scene Addie! Keep on punching!
Great reaction love of the characters comes through you make us feel for them with them. Thanks for the fun until next time.
“Jesus wants me to work.” Love Spider 😅
Hi Addie !
I grew up in the 80's and 90's, watching Rocky 3 and 4 multiple times (the first times being essentially because one of my brother was very much into martial arts and fighting movies). I actually only discovered #1 and #2 in the late 90's, early 2000's, as I entered adulthood. And it was a good thing cause I'm pretty sure the child or teenage me wouldn't have liked them. But , though I'm not considering myself as a fan, I grew attached to the characters.
So when it came out, this last "Rocky" movie was actually the first and only one I went see in theater. The little speech of the young commentator, about how he grew up watching Rocky's match on TV, and doesn't believe he can actually comment one of them, was actually kinda how I feel in the theater. It was kinda unbelievable for me that I could actually discover a Rocky movie, such a monument in the cinema history, in theater.
This is the most underrated Rocky movie.
That look you give when you're on it! 😂 you look just like my 8 year old daughter watching Disney! Bless ❤😊
When you were watching Rocky V and hoped nothing would happen to Adrian, i was like "wait for it missy" and worst of all is that it gets you at the very beginning of the movie
Man, I hope she watches the Creed movies. They're absolutely amazing!!
5:51 I love how Paulie grew on you. He has that effect, and it didn’t even take you six years 😂
This is the greatest Movie ever!
“Why you gotta owe somethin’ to get somethin’?” ❤
I recommend Sylvester Stallone again in Cop Land, Expendables & Rambo. Awesome movies for you.
not many talk about cop land. i liked it
Well, My subscribers: MJoy4Fun & TBR Schmitt watch that movie and they love it.

Rocky will always be a love story.
Your Reaction to this made my day. Forever Love Rocky!!!
After the dismal Rocky V, Rocky Balboa is the perfect end to the Rocky saga! Such a high note!
Underrated movie, I always found it interesting that the judge who didn't want to give Rocky a boxing license here was also his lawyer in Rocky 5. if you get a chance check out the deleted scenes in Rocky Balboa 🥺🥹
18:22 The last time Rocky was with trainer Tony "Duke" Evers was in 1985 per the series' timeline. Here we are over 20 years later and he just shows up out of nowhere. It's never mentioned what he's been up to for the last two decades.
training fighters not named rocky
@@SutekhDaSteemroller they should have said that. At least one line of dialogue would have been nice.
He was in Rocky V for the first 4 minutes and since then it's a shame.
@@lexkanyima2195 right but those first few minutes took place post-fight in Russia and still in 1985.
@@dylancooper3690 but it was not filmed in 1985 after that. Just look at the difference
Gotta react to the deleted scene with paulie now.... Hope to see it maybe.... Good reaction Addie... 👍🏼
Sly has also done another boxing flick since this one, a comedy called "Grudge Match" where his character fights Robert DeNiro's.
Watching your journey with Rocky (and Popcorn in Bed’s journey) as two women who walked in with little interest and walking away so invested and connected with his character has been amazing to watch!
Creed 1 and 2 are must-watches to complete Rocky’s story
Rocky Balboa and Creed brought back the Rocky films for a new generation.
Since you're still in the boxing mood, check out "Cinderella Man" with Russell Crowe. Good movie.
Hey Addie,
Love Your reactions.
Love Your smile.
Love Rocky.
Best wishes.

SCOTLAND x
There is an alternate ending where Rocky was declared the winner by decision. But Stallone felt that Rocky didn't need to win the fight, only prove that he was still willing to get into the ring and do his best, win or lose.
Great reaction keep up the great content.
Heartfelt reaction. Love it. Have no illusions, tho, … CREED is basically Rocky 7. He was nominated for an Oscar!
Definitely not that one sided lol. Truly more of a hybrid, end of an era, beginning of a new. Also seeing as it's also a whole modern reinvention of the franchise.
Oh, they stopped doing 15 round fights in the 80's, for real, after Kim-Duk Koo died of a cerebral hemorrhage after a bout against Ray Mancini went to the 14th. As for "You're one crazy old man." "You'll get there." Antonio Tarver (Mason Dixon) got there. He retired from boxing years later as a multiple time champ at the age of _48._
The reason that fight looks so different -- like a real boxing match -- is because that is exactly what it was. That was no movie set, it was an HBO fight broadcast. Those commentators were real commentators, the announcer was real, the crowd was real. In the breaks between the real fights, they would run out to the ring and film a few scenes, then pause while the next real fight was going on, then film some more on the next break.
The fight was recorded on a real fight night in Las Vegas. The told the crowd to stay around after the last actual fight but didn't tell them why until right before
"I'm so worried about Rocky!"
Dixon punches Rocky and breaks his hand.
Now we've got a movie.
Yo Addie you did it!!
Love this!!!
I highly recommend you now to see the "Creed" saga. It´s a perfect continuation... done with quality, love and respect.
This series may be about fighting but it leaves the audience fighting back tears and losing in some of them, but it aint how hard these movies, hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and still enjoy them for their messages.
Antonio Tarver shocked the world, knocked out Roy Jones Jr then won the third bout. Got this role and his career was never really the same
