How did Asia go from not wanting to watch Rocky her whole life to "CATCH THE CHICKEN" in a movie and a half 😂 She's in for the long haul now, she's hooked like we all knew she would be!
My wife was the same way she went her whole life not seeing these films …… until she met me I was watching the first one on tv and she set mat down and asked me what the movie was after watching it after 20 mins and she was like “huh this is a good movie” and ended up loving the movie and she wanted to watch the next one and the next and next ect then she wanted to watch the CREED movies and loved them as well so yeah it’s a movie sage that will convert people who say nay on them till they watch them
Hey man, Asia’s reactions are priceless. My favorite one is when they were watching Django, and Django open the door and said to Carrie Washington, it’s me baby, man I thought Asia was going to leave BJ, jump through the TV and say here I am Django, LMAO.
No one who has ever seen these movies will forget Carl Weathers and his charismatic portrayal of Apollo Creed. In that sense, Carl Weathers lives forever in our hearts.
I’ve seen almost a hundred Rocky II reactions - and one thing remains TRUE about all of them. This movie transcends all borders, all genres preferences, gender, all ethnicities, languages, and supposed barriers. Rocky is a character everyone can get behind. Awesome Reaction, Folks!
"I won, but I didn't beat him!" That's what a true champion would say. Carl Weathers is awesome in this series. RIP Carl Weathers. Truly one of the best!
One of my all time favorite scenes is in this movie, right before the fight when Apollo is about to come out and he is standing there, listening to the crowd chant Rocky's name. The expression on his face as he stands there gives me chills every time I see it. RIP Carl.
Something that's absolutely underrated in these first two Rocky movies is the loan shark character. Any other movie would have written him to be a scumbag taking advantage of Rocky at every turn, but he's actually a friend trying to help him out at every turn. It's shit like that which makes these movies so interesting.
One key moment of the movie to me was at the beginning when they're at the hospital and Rocky goes to Apollo, nobody around, and asks him if he gave it his all. Apollo could've been a dick and said "no", but he tells him yes. It was like 2 warriors saluting each other after the battle. RIP, Mr. Weathers.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart, me & two of my cousins were in that crowd of kids chasing Rocky, that’s a memory I’ll never forget. RIP Carl weathers
There is a clip of Stallone holding back tears of the passing of Carl Weathers ,those two personified these Rocky movies, ..my guess is you'll watch Rocky3 - you wont be dissapointed !!
I always like it when Rocky asked the priest for a blessing, he didn't ask to win as if god would take sides like that, he just that nobody gets permanently hurt.
Another fun fact. The street singers that are singing by the fire when rocky is a carrying Adrian home, one of them singers is sylvester stallones brother Frank stallone.
The dog was Stallone's dog. When Stallone moved to LA he didn't know anyone except Henry Winkler. Henry said that he had this big, slobbery dog and there was no way I could keep them at my house. Winkler helped Sly find a place to stay. Sly said that his first house was a block away from Balboa Blvd.
Man, I really felt it in my soul when I heard about Carl Weathers passing. He was such a great person; physique of a god, charisma over the top, sharp in the mind, and all around a great guy. He only has a tiny part in this movie, but you two should check out Close Encounters of the Third Kind; it's a scifi classic from the 70's, and you'll probably recognize the communication between… well, you'll see.
I remember the whole theater we saw this in erupting in cheer and applause at the end. I was 10 years old, and that moment was amazing! Such a great memory.
The same. He seems unlikable in this movie for first time watchers, but they don't see the whole picture. He's a true warrior. He could have let it go if he just wanted to stay the champ. But he knew that if he didn't beat Rocky, it wouldn't mean anything to him. He's even willing to be a bad guy to get him back in the ring.
The character of Rocky isn’t the brightest crayon in the box but he’s got a very sweet heart. You’ll find out more as you watch this series. I can’t wait! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥊🥊🥊
Ill say it again, Stallone's acting when Adrian is in the coma is just top notch. He sells the audience that he is Balboa and we are all involved in the story
The beautiful smile on Asia’s face is probably the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen on her, and she always has a gorgeous, gorgeous smile. At the end of this, the smile on her face and to think she didn’t want to see Rocky. A love story with some boxing in it. Thanks for the entertainment. Love you guys.
Rocky 2 was more like Chapter 2 it picks right up where the last movie left off ..it is a very good follow up to Rocky ..also R.I.P Carl Weathers 🌹 ...make sure to watch Rocky 3 & Rocky 4
No matter how many times I've seen this movie, it always hits me emotionally when Adrian comes out of the coma and says, "Win!" 😢 Life will always be full of challenges, but when you actually have the support from those you hold dear, it will always provide a strength you never knew you had.
Great reaction team ❤ and especially since Carl has passed away 😢 Asia crying 😢 is just like everyone else! 😂 I still tear up watching these films because I remember how I felt as a kid watching these. Can't wait for the next one now !
"Who woulda thought I'd cry over Rocky?". We saw you wipe away the tear BJ. Keep the tissues close by and enjoy the entire series of Rocky/Creed movies. Stallone is a genius in a action hero's' body.
"Did you give me your best?" "Yeah" "Thank you" right there is a show of respect between two athletes. "Man I won *BUT I DIDN'T BEAT HIM!"* still a man showing respect to another athlete "I wanna thank Apollo" that followed by Apollo hanging his head with a smile shows their respect. If Rocky was about proving yourself Rocky II is about retaining your self-respect & respect of others
There is no Rocky without Apollo. And Rocky III is my favorite of the Rocky franchise because... well, you just have to watch it. Rest in peace Carl Weathers.
So glad you’re doing the series. I actually also lived around where he moved to in this one and grew up where the first one is set. I know it’s a useless fact but it just makes it feel more personal,it’s personal to everyone though
BJ enjoyed that tea! It’s all good, no one is judging him (or you Asia😊)! Let him enjoy it..I lost my husband three years ago and started watching movies with the both of you because it reminds me of watching with him-love you both!
I am so glad to see that you guys picked up on how important Adrian really is to Rocky's success and belief in himself and it's only the second film. It is a theme that will continue to run throughout the rest of the films.
LMAO, the tea at the beginning was so funny. I was in a meeting a couple years back and took a chug of some Arnold Palmer in a gallon jug because I will just finish it in the work day. Someone on the video call goes "holy sh*t, you really like tea huh?". Saves a glass, keeps me drinking all day just having the jug there as a reminder, and tastes great!
Milo's sweet tea is the best if you don't feel like brewing your own! In fact, don't even bother making your own. I drink out of carton, too. That is my damn tea!
Reel talk! I liked how in Rocky I, Adrian gets in the ring and Rocky says "you lost your hat."😂😂 Such an arbitrary line for the moment but very Rocky. ❤
Honestly, IMO, the best ending to a movie EVER!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Them both falling was pure genius. I've seen this movie many, many times and each time....there's a little part of me that STILL doesn't know which one is going to get up. 😮 😂 It was shot beautifully. And then him holding that belt up thinking of his wife and baby - "Yo Adrian, I DID IT!!!!" --- Just so beautiful 😍 And Asia - Talia Shire (Adrian) has said in interviews that the Rocky movies are as much a love story as they are about boxing. Check out some of the "making of Rocky" and interviews (after you watch ALL Rocky movies of course!) Keep going you two! ROCKY III is next! ❤
R.I.P. To Carl Weathers.
He played such a great character. The bad guy, but you gotta love him too. Carl Weathers was so great in so many roles.
Yes, the brother died this week! Sad as hell...
He will be missed: RIP Carl aka Apollo Creed
Can't wait for III and Apollo redemption
What a great actor Carl Weathers was. R.I.P.
How did Asia go from not wanting to watch Rocky her whole life to "CATCH THE CHICKEN" in a movie and a half 😂 She's in for the long haul now, she's hooked like we all knew she would be!
My wife was the same way she went her whole life not seeing these films …… until she met me I was watching the first one on tv and she set mat down and asked me what the movie was after watching it after 20 mins and she was like “huh this is a good movie” and ended up loving the movie and she wanted to watch the next one and the next and next ect then she wanted to watch the CREED movies and loved them as well so yeah it’s a movie sage that will convert people who say nay on them till they watch them
I can't wait for her to see Rocky 4
Hey man, Asia’s reactions are priceless. My favorite one is when they were watching Django, and Django open the door and said to Carrie Washington, it’s me baby, man I thought Asia was going to leave BJ, jump through the TV and say here I am Django, LMAO.
@38:16 ... What a growl! 😁
No one who has ever seen these movies will forget Carl Weathers and his charismatic portrayal of Apollo Creed. In that sense, Carl Weathers lives forever in our hearts.
RIP to the true Creed
Particularly in number 3. He was fantastic in that one.
Straight up Iconic
Absolutely correct! And later on in life came back in comedies like Happy Gilmore & Arrested Development
What kind of timing is this? Carl Weathers has passed away, just as you’re watching one of his finest roles. Rest in peace, Mr. Weathers.
Remember... Rocky III should be next on your list!
Rocky III has everything. Can't wait.
I pity the fool that doesn't immediately continue on to Rocky 3
Yeah, Rocky III and IV are both well done.
@adampare8088 Yes! Love the reference!!
@kennethturner8290 the first 4 are amazing!
I’ve seen almost a hundred Rocky II reactions - and one thing remains TRUE about all of them. This movie transcends all borders, all genres preferences, gender, all ethnicities, languages, and supposed barriers. Rocky is a character everyone can get behind. Awesome Reaction, Folks!
"I won, but I didn't beat him!" That's what a true champion would say. Carl Weathers is awesome in this series.
RIP Carl Weathers. Truly one of the best!
One of my most memorable lines from him. RIP
You cannot imagine anyone else playing the part of Apollo.
I always felt that line turned the Rocky series into Greek mythology. Apollo and Rocky are the American version of Achilles and Hector.
I can't believe I actually feel a sense of loss with his passing. By the way, best physique ever. RIP brother.
One of my all time favorite scenes is in this movie, right before the fight when Apollo is about to come out and he is standing there, listening to the crowd chant Rocky's name. The expression on his face as he stands there gives me chills every time I see it. RIP Carl.
Something that's absolutely underrated in these first two Rocky movies is the loan shark character. Any other movie would have written him to be a scumbag taking advantage of Rocky at every turn, but he's actually a friend trying to help him out at every turn.

Good Guy Gazzo !
I love Gazzo, he's awesome
One key moment of the movie to me was at the beginning when they're at the hospital and Rocky goes to Apollo, nobody around, and asks him if he gave it his all. Apollo could've been a dick and said "no", but he tells him yes. It was like 2 warriors saluting each other after the battle.
RIP, Mr. Weathers.
My husband is from Philly he was one of the kids running with Sylvester Stalon up those steps.
That's so cool!!
When Adrian whispers “WIN” it just sends shockwaves through my whole body. Pumps me up so much every single time.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart, me & two of my cousins were in that crowd of kids chasing Rocky, that’s a memory I’ll never forget. RIP Carl weathers
I'm jealous! I was 2 months old when Rocky 2 was released, so I wasn't alive when the scene was shot.
Wow...what a memory...such an iconic moment as well. What a memory
That is so cool!
There is a clip of Stallone holding back tears of the passing of Carl Weathers ,those two personified these Rocky movies, ..my guess is you'll watch Rocky3 - you wont be dissapointed !!
That moment when Adrian tells Rocky “win”, gives me chills every time. Great reaction. Hope you continue this journey.
I was literally drinking tea from a gallon container the moment she called him out.
I don't see the problem. I guess it seems uncivilized
Most definitely!
Shows what I know. I didn't know tea came in gallon containers.
@@Billinois78Most definitely 😊
Drinking tea from your own jug is like taking a big bite out of your own sandwich. Ain't nothin wrong with it.
I always like it when Rocky asked the priest for a blessing, he didn't ask to win as if god would take sides like that, he just that nobody gets permanently hurt.
RIP, Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed, 1948-2024.
RIP Carl Weathers 🙏🏼
Fun fact: the baby in Rocky 2 is actually Stallone's son in real life.
Another fun fact. The street singers that are singing by the fire when rocky is a carrying Adrian home, one of them singers is sylvester stallones brother Frank stallone.
Also, the whole rags to riches story with Rocky is also like Stallion’s story as well😌😌
And he plays his son in Rocky 5.
The dog was Stallone's dog. When Stallone moved to LA he didn't know anyone except Henry Winkler. Henry said that he had this big, slobbery dog and there was no way I could keep them at my house. Winkler helped Sly find a place to stay. Sly said that his first house was a block away from Balboa Blvd.
Is that Sage?
Oh holy potatoes! One of the best movie series that ever existed. Glad to be here for it! RIP Carl Weathers
RIP Carl Weathers. He's a big part why this franchise is so great!
RIP Apollo. A true legend.
One thing this franchise NEVER lost sight of was heart.
Wow, Asia, that was a QUICK return to a boxing movie!!! You go girl. Good job BJ! Persistence pays off.
That “Yo Adriane I did it!” Is the best thing ever
Awesome franchise. Can't wait till Rocky 3 and 4. Keep going
No matter how many times I see it, when Adrian says “Win” and “Going the Distance” kicks in I get full body chills.
Love that you are going the distance with the Rocky movies.
"He keeps running into the glove". When Asia said that, I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes. Thank you for the reaction.
Man, I really felt it in my soul when I heard about Carl Weathers passing. He was such a great person; physique of a god, charisma over the top, sharp in the mind, and all around a great guy. He only has a tiny part in this movie, but you two should check out Close Encounters of the Third Kind; it's a scifi classic from the 70's, and you'll probably recognize the communication between… well, you'll see.
I remember the whole theater we saw this in erupting in cheer and applause at the end. I was 10 years old, and that moment was amazing! Such a great memory.
Carl weather's will be missed. He was my favorite character in all of rocky
Mine too. He had that charisma that just drawed you to him.
The same. He seems unlikable in this movie for first time watchers, but they don't see the whole picture. He's a true warrior. He could have let it go if he just wanted to stay the champ. But he knew that if he didn't beat Rocky, it wouldn't mean anything to him. He's even willing to be a bad guy to get him back in the ring.
The way Rocky asked Adrienne to marry him, "What are doing for the next 40 or 50 years, if you wouldn't mind marrying me to much".
Melts my heart every time
RIP Mr.Weathers
Best is yet to come, ROCKY III.
RIP Carl Weathers.🙏🙏
RIP Carl Weathers
BJ drinking tea out of a jug so he doesnt have to dirty a cup and waste water to wash it. Man's a hero 😢.
Man is farm to table, gonna turn the plastic jug into a planting pot. can you say Hero
😂
Thank you and RIP Carl Weathers
People do not understand that this is not a boxing movie, its a love story about Rocky and Adrian with some boxing.
RIP: Our Apollo Creed, Mr. Carl Weathers. Asia seems to like these awesome, inspiring films. We already knew BJ was down.
" He just keeps running into the glove" Asia.. Classic
🙏🏾😔Sleep well Carl Weathers😔🙏🏾
Condolence's to his familie's and friends.
All Rocky Ever Needs is Adrian's Love and Support
RIP Carl Weathers! Love to all reading this from So. Cal USA 🇺🇸 love this movie! Very inspiring for sure!! You both will love it! 🥰
R. I. P. Carl Weathers. What great memories you gave us.
These never get old!!! Loved these movies! Carl Weathers will be missed, man he was awesome
Great reaction! Sylvester Stallone said that Rocky is not a sports film but a love story about a broken-down fighter.
God Bless Carl, he was a cornerstone of the series for sure... nice reaction BJ and Asia
Fun fact: The guy sparring with Rocky in the gym is Roberto Duran....widely considered the greatest lightweight in boxing history 🥊
Even mayweather gave Duran his props…makes you wonder who would’ve won in a fight with each in their prime
@@michaeltabor2077Duran waa a beast....sadly most people's knowledge of him starts & ends with the "no mas" fight....such a shame....boxing legend
Pernell Whitaker will always be my LW GOAT but mad respect to hands of stone
@toochangz Whitaker is definitely my#2 behind Duran, but Durans resume is far superior imo. Whittaker-Chavez in the Alamo Dome was amazing
No Mas
The character of Rocky isn’t the brightest crayon in the box but he’s got a very sweet heart. You’ll find out more as you watch this series. I can’t wait! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥊🥊🥊
RIP Carl Weathers. Always loved that guy.
You will enjoy this one. Wait til 3.
Lol,yes, can't wait for them to really fall in love with Apollo Creed.
Rocky 4 noone say anything
10:02 - "Condominiums.". "I never use them." LOL! I'm so glad you got that line,
Now Asia you know , you and Bj are going to go to Rocky 3 . ( my favorite) and Rocky 4 . Both movies are 🔥.
Weathers was so good. he nailed all of Ali's moves.
Mr. T "Clubber Lang" next in Rocky 3. Can't wait!
Ill say it again, Stallone's acting when Adrian is in the coma is just top notch. He sells the audience that he is Balboa and we are all involved in the story
I can’t tell you how many jugs of Milo’s tea I’ve walked around drinking out of lmao
The beautiful smile on Asia’s face is probably the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen on her, and she always has a gorgeous, gorgeous smile. At the end of this, the smile on her face and to think she didn’t want to see Rocky. A love story with some boxing in it. Thanks for the entertainment. Love you guys.
Rocky 2 was more like Chapter 2 it picks right up where the last movie left off ..it is a very good follow up to Rocky ..also R.I.P Carl Weathers 🌹 ...make sure to watch Rocky 3 & Rocky 4
Carl Weathers aka Apollo Creed ...immortalised character. Rest in Peace. Great performance that helped the icon Rocky. Loved you in Predator as well
Lost one of the good people in Life...RIP Carl Weathers, ...and thank you champ!.
I saw Rocky on Broadway. They brought the audience in the front seats up on the stage for the fight! It was awesome! RIP Carl/Apollo.
Asia's reaction when Rocky caught the chicken was priceless! 😂
No matter how many times I've seen this movie, it always hits me emotionally when Adrian comes out of the coma and says, "Win!" 😢
Life will always be full of challenges, but when you actually have the support from those you hold dear, it will always provide a strength you never knew you had.
BJ and the gallon 😂 and Asia’s face!! 💀
So soon?! 😮 I really hope you watch ROCKY 3 this fast. 🙏 R.I.P Carl Weathers❤😊
Asia & BJ, keep the tissues close by if you watch “Rocky III”. Definitely watch it. And, yes, watch it soon while it’s fresh in your mind.
Great reaction team ❤ and especially since Carl has passed away 😢 Asia crying 😢 is just like everyone else! 😂 I still tear up watching these films because I remember how I felt as a kid watching these. Can't wait for the next one now !
This is the movie where Rocky finally learns defense and slips, blocks and ducks every punch 👊
What? Lol
It's the 3rd lol
Rocky 1, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, and Rocky Balboa I feel are the best of the series!
This is one of the great franchises of all time, rest in peace to the great Carl weathers
"Rocky Balboa has shocked the world!" Chills every time. This is my favourite sequel of all time.
You're gonna love Rocky III.
"Who woulda thought I'd cry over Rocky?". We saw you wipe away the tear BJ. Keep the tissues close by and enjoy the entire series of Rocky/Creed movies. Stallone is a genius in a action hero's' body.
RIP Carl Weathers (Apollo)...you left us too soon.
"Did you give me your best?" "Yeah" "Thank you" right there is a show of respect between two athletes.
"Man I won *BUT I DIDN'T BEAT HIM!"* still a man showing respect to another athlete
"I wanna thank Apollo" that followed by Apollo hanging his head with a smile shows their respect. If Rocky was about proving yourself Rocky II is about retaining your self-respect & respect of others
Rocky I and II are love stories with some boxing. Truly fantastic movies :)
There is no Rocky without Apollo. And Rocky III is my favorite of the Rocky franchise because... well, you just have to watch it. Rest in peace Carl Weathers.
The tea exchange just cracked me up… and I do the same thing as BJ! LOL
So glad you’re doing the series. I actually also lived around where he moved to in this one and grew up where the first one is set. I know it’s a useless fact but it just makes it feel more personal,it’s personal to everyone though
BJ enjoyed that tea! It’s all good, no one is judging him (or you Asia😊)! Let him enjoy it..I lost my husband three years ago and started watching movies with the both of you because it reminds me of watching with him-love you both!
That look of intense joy on Asia's face when Rocky won. Now THAT is a reaction.
Hands down my favorite one. 🐓🏃♂️🏋️♂️🥊
I am so glad to see that you guys picked up on how important Adrian really is to Rocky's success and belief in himself and it's only the second film. It is a theme that will continue to run throughout the rest of the films.
LMAO, the tea at the beginning was so funny. I was in a meeting a couple years back and took a chug of some Arnold Palmer in a gallon jug because I will just finish it in the work day. Someone on the video call goes "holy sh*t, you really like tea huh?". Saves a glass, keeps me drinking all day just having the jug there as a reminder, and tastes great!
Ilove how much Asi's voice was changing the more she got into it.
Omg Rest in Power Carl Weathers. We lost a true legend and my hero 💪🏾💪🏾
I remember sitting in the theater at the end when Rocky won. The entire theater went crazy and it felt like we were all at the Spectrum that night.
Now it's time for Rocky 3
I've seen it 100x or more- still every time Rocky makes it to his feet, I get choked up again!
Milo's sweet tea is the best if you don't feel like brewing your own! In fact, don't even bother making your own. I drink out of carton, too. That is my damn tea!
Reel talk! I liked how in Rocky I, Adrian gets in the ring and Rocky says "you lost your hat."😂😂 Such an arbitrary line for the moment but very Rocky. ❤
R.I.P Carl Weathers He Was In So Many Of Tv Shows And Movies
The first 4 of these movies are absolute classics, I love them and the friendship Rocky and Apollo have especially in 3. You’re gonna love Rocky 3
the rocky movie's are pure gold
I always apply the message of Rocky in life, to get up everytime you are down
😢RIP Carl Weathers❤
Love Asia's face expressions!!!. Rocky 2 is my favorite out of all the Rocky movies!
Rocky 3 is my favourite
Honestly, IMO, the best ending to a movie EVER!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Them both falling was pure genius. I've seen this movie many, many times and each time....there's a little part of me that STILL doesn't know which one is going to get up. 😮 😂 It was shot beautifully.
