    Fun fact: Filming the Boxing match was a fun event for the crowd. The audience didn't know but they were originally there for a Boxing event. Then the producer announce they were going to use the crowd for a movie in production. So the cheers for Rocky was real. It must be a great life time experience to watch a Rocky movie coming to life.

      Wow, didn't know this. Do you know the rich fight this happened at. This explains why it looks so real. I was thinking they had to spend a lot of money to get that fight scene, but this makes sense. A lot of "free" extras. 😆

    Talia Shire (Adrian) Was originally in the script, but she and Stallone agreed that Rocky would not have the "beast inside him" if Adrian was still there. After in a interview she was asked why she wasn't in it, and she said "I am in it... the whole movie is about ME" - Rocky would be totally happy running the restaurant with here, and would have no reason to fight. They also felt they could not kill her IN the film, because most of us would not make thru the rest of the film.

    My absolute favourite part and its something that is shared a lot is Rocky's speech to his son about how hard life will hit you. That was one of the greatest speeches ever in the history of cinema!

    • @commsense1979

    @k.delpino1124 Рік тому +9

    It took 3 years to write the script for part 6.
    Catching the flavor of the original and just in time for the 30th Anniversary.
    The fight was the first thing they filmed in Mandalay Bay, to be as real as possible.
    Rocky's character has endured for so long and still stays humble.
    The speech to Rocky Jr. is the best dialogue of the film and that will always be remembered.
    This was the beginning of a whole new resurgence for Stallone as an actor & filmmaker.
    Afterwards came Rambo IV (2008), The Expendables trilogy (2010-2014),
    Bullet To The Head and the Escape Plan trilogy (est in 2013), etc.
    Not too mention, he raised his physique to unbelievable levels in his late 50s/early 60s.
    Sly Stallone has truly proven as Lil' Marie said "The last thing to age is the heart".
    RIP to Tony Burton (Duke Evers Sr.)

    Don't trust anyone who thinks this one is "trash". Straight-up clown take. This entry brings the series back down to Earth and brings the characterisation and the heart back.
    Re: Paulie's painting. I think it was probably a concession to Burt Young, the actor, who is himself an accomplished artist and probably wanted to give Paulie that outlet to help him reconnect to the character. Just a guess.

  • @Nancysguy

    You're reaction to Paulie is very empathic. He's got this brusque outer nature that is just his way, but he can be introspective about his failings. So, "...I treated her bad..." gave me the same reaction as yours. You're just a thoughtful person.

  • @fusionaddict
    @fusionaddict Рік тому +17

    So Adrian was originally part of the film, but Stallone felt it didn't give enough dramatic weight to the character with her still present in his life, so he made the decision to have the character pass away offscreen to add weight to Rocky's state of mind. To her credit, Talia Shire loved the film and felt it was the right decision for the story.

    • @thedefinitionisthis
      @thedefinitionisthis Рік тому +1

      Yeah, Stallone’s reasoning was “What’s the point in revisiting this guy’s life, if his life is still intact?”. Sucks to see Adrian gone, but Stallone did have a point. Very true to life too that not everyone we love will be with us as we age.

To this day I get tears in my eyes at this scene. But the speech has also become a kind of mantra for me

    The guy who played Mason Dixon is Antonio Tarver. He was a professional boxer and champion. He c knocked Roy Jones put. I agree with you on how the fight looks. But that is how a real fight looks with all the real announcers and commentators that you normally see. So it doesn't have the theatrics of the other. Duke did train Rocky in Rocky 3 and 4. So he did help him by Duke got old to.
    The eye and brain thing... yea this actually happens in real boxing as well. A fighter may be told he can't fight anymore and can't get a license to later come back after a few years to be cleared a fight again. Sometimes they do heal, sometimes it's a payoff and sometimes it's a misdiagnosis. As long as they pass the tests, they can get a license to fight.

    Very nice reaction video! Like Rocky, we can see that you have plenty of heart. It was 16 years after Rocky 5 was released this came out. We didn’t think we would ever see another Rocky movie. I was so excited when I heard Rocky 6 was in production. I thought it was the perfect ending to his story. The fade out at the end is a fitting way to say goodbye to this character that has meant so much to us for so many years. 9 years later, out of the blue, Creed is released and we were overjoyed to see Rocky again! The two Creed movies are excellent. They keep the classic feel, but take us someplace new as well. I hope you enjoy them.

      Sly has said he was dealing with “depression” before he wrote this. The phone had stopped ringing and he was spending a lot of alone time in his office/man cave. Then he wrote and shot this and he started getting movies again and he felt Rocky had a good ending. While a lot of us enjoy it Rocky 5 is his least favorite.

    I will briefly describe to you the boxing rules in which you had doubts
    An old man clapping strange boards means that there are 10 seconds left in the round.
    Since the late 1980s, world championship fights have been 12 rounds instead of 15 for health reasons.
    Exhibition fights have as many rounds as the two camps get along. they can be 6, 8 or 10 rounds as it was in Rocky Balboa.

      Sly answered this question when the movie came out. I’d look it up to get the words correctly but summed up he said technically is better now and what looked like brain damage right after his fight w/Drago was not permanent and that over the yrs it got better. I mean the did do those tests w/in a week of the fight. Rocky 4=1985. Rocky 6=2006

      Rocky 5 did happen. I think the explaination Stallone gave was that medical technology had advanced in the 16 years since 5 and the damage wasn't as bad as they originally thought. But Rocky 5 was referenced in this one when he says to Robert "I just wanted us to get involved like Home Team."

    So the champ mite not seem so good is the fact is that hes not a actor he's a real boxer antio tarva he was a real chap same as tommy gun was real heavy champ his real name was tommy morrison and in creed 1 the main fighters are real boxers so there acting isnt the best
