In reality Rocky would have been knocked out or dead within 1-3 rounds the same with Apollos son when he fought Dragons son in Creed 2 and im a big fan of Rocky.
I hope its not disrespectful to say that i know the man only as Apollo Creed. Still he is part of my childhood watching American movies and seeing the great story where enemies become best friends!
I always loved the training montage in this film, the contrast of older techniques vs modern, artificial ways of training for a boxing match - old vs new. The mixture of the filming and the elevation and the crescendo of the music to match what was onscreen was masterful. This is one of my favourite sequences of film of all time and I saw this in the cinema when it was released in the UK - a very special moment for me that I have never forgotten.
Tony’s role in this movie is amazing…all the way from screaming with spit flying out “It’s supposed to be an exhibition”, to “he’s a man not a machine”. Every line the man says is gold.
Drago wins but i think Clubber still hits harder than Drago just from judging Rocky’s first fight against clubber with rocky’s fight against Drago. Look at what clubber did to rocky’s face in rocky 3 in two rounds. His face did not look as bad during the final round against Drago.
IV was the first Rocky movie I ever saw and to this day my favorite by far. Same with ‘Rambo.’ It wasn’t till several years later when I finally saw ‘First Blood’
That crushing right punch by Rocky at the 8:55 mark of the video was a cinematic masterpiece. I remembered the reaction of movie fans inside the theater when watching that movie way back in 1985. Half the audience inside the theater collectively stood up and starting cheering. It was almost if we were all watching a live closed-circuit boxing match at the theater which was a popular feature on watching championship fights back in the day. An old lady wearing a knit sweater sitting in front of us stood up and started shadow boxing during that scene and yelled out loud "Knock his block off!" Fun moments.
Technically it wasn’t a last minute pick, as they rejected Dolph for the role, then after a photo session he did, Stallone called him personally to be Drago.
I was 10 years old when I saw Rocky IV and I couldn't sleep for 3 days because of Drago's character. His role as Rocky's invincible adversary was so successful that I believe he was the main reason why the film was so beloved and had incredible commercial success all over the world.
Man i remember watching this in the cinema, it wasn't just a film it was an event. Everyone was on their feet chanting Rocky, Rocky. and when he won it was like the place erupted. It was good to be a kid then
I remember it well. This is one of my 13 year old son’s favorite movies and I’ve often told him how exciting it was to not know how it ends. To have the real possibility that Rocky could lose as the impetus for the excitement
Rocky realistically, would’ve been killed by Drago. Apollo may have been older but Rocky and him had a lot in common as fighters. The difference is Stallone being older and getting Hulk Hogan style strength to gain victory over his opponents. Mr.T’s fight on the other hand was just as a dominating performance for Rocky the 2nd time around.
That's the whole point of the rocky movies, He may not have been the best fighter via clubber lang and drago but he was known to take a beating, That's how he beat his opponents, He took a beaten, tired out his opponents then beat them
The reach advantage Drago had over Rocky would have been decisive even if he wasnt so powerful. Rocky's only option would be to get to work inside it but even there all Drago has to do is fold those long limbs up to block or cage him.
@@brettsoyars4341 nope. However, her and Stallone were married at the time this came out. They divorced in 87, a year after her and Stallone starred in "Cobra"
Rocky's son is watching the fight aged about 12 in Rocky IV. When returned from Russia in Rocky V, he is 3 or 4 years older. Either Rocky liked Russia too much or the boy got that happy for his father's victory that got 4 years older within just some days!
The timelines never made sense. Rocky 4 was supposed to be 3-4 years after 3. But Rocky and Apollo had their private fight right before Rocky 4 begins.
Dolph Lungren actually looks like he knows how to fight…..Carl weathers also look pretty good in his fight scenes too, but you could tell he wasn’t a boxer. Dolph was a karate world champion and had experience in multiple martial arts so he is the most believable. Stallone also a great athlete but he makes the fight scenes too unrealistic for me, getting constantly smashed in the face, should’ve shown some slipping and dodging in the choreography imo.
Drago would have destroyed Stallone I agree it’s very unrealistic how Stallone could withstand his punches let alone Apollo creed. Mind you he did put Stallone in hospital as he wanted the fight scenes to look realistic. In an interview he said he was hit by dolph that hard that he said he felt like he was hit by a car impact caused swelling to his heart he was in intensive care for two weeks.
Funnily enough, I think I read somewhere stating that the Rocky character is based on Rocky Marciano, an old boxer known for using his face to block attacks. Dude is incredibly resilient
That's quite a moment when Drago realises upon being cut by Rocky and subsequently pummelled that Rocky is a serious threat and how having taken Apollo out so quickly, his underestimation of Rocky was a serious mistake.
One off the best film of Sylvester stallone .....I can watch this many times and every times i love it ..RAMBO..ROCKY .....all this is so good actions........😎😎😎👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember that after watching that beginning scene first time I really enjoyed when Drago punished Creed in the ring. (Of course still I am great fan of Lundgren and Weathers)
I remember making my first Rockymarathon with my Dad when i was about 8 years old. Ivan Drago is still one of my biggest Idols, till today 💪🏼 real superheroes❤
Like it or not Apollo was unnecessarily rude and arrogant. What could have been presented as an opportunity to show respect between 2 nations came across as the American being an arse.
The entire thing was a glam show for Creed.. It was an exhibition match. And it was supposed to be a massive form of entertainment. But nope.. Creed got bodied and from a deleted scene.. It was hinted that it was kind of planned.. As nikolai told drago something, which made drago look at him in a very irritated but subtle manner.
😂 it’s boxing, and more than that a film about boxing, and more than that it’s a boxing movie from the 80s, before we lived in an oversensitive woke era

My father showed me this movie when i first played sports as a way to show me what can happen when you trash talk. You don't run your mouth without running the risk of something bad happening.
Прикольно еще и то, что у Драго на кителе висит высшая боевая награда страны - герой СССР и планка означающая наличие иных гос. наград. Чего только не придумают в Голливуде ) Хорошо, что фантазий хватило сделать его капитаном армии, а не генералом.
apollo did not have a chance he was clearly outmatched by Drago. It is very obvious that Ivan Drago would easily beat apollo creed. apollo was running his big mouth but was clueless what he was facing against the very powerful Drago.
True but appollo was retired and waaaaay past his prime. He also didn’t take the fight seriously, it was an exhibition match. Apollo from Rocky 2 who was actually serious would definitely perform a lot better, Drago could still likely win but it would be a good fight
The Soviets called it in the press conference. "It will be a good victory" check. "Drago should not even fight this man, he is a has-been" check. "Yes, and it could be a painful one" KILLED IT
In russia at that time there was no technology as it is shown or such gyms how ever in US the gyms and technology has always been top notch along with all GMO experiments so the entire presentation as to how the russians train vs americans was all inverted. It completely the other way around !
Are you kidding me? You make it sound like the Soviet Union was Zimbabwe in the 1980s. They could send satellites and rockets into space but didn't have advanced technology when it comes to training athletes. Most athletes use some form of doping, how do you think records keep getting broken?

Just about anything from that period is better than any modern movie.

Rocky did a helluva job blocking Drago's punches with his face. What a defensive strategy
Face to foot style, how do you like it?
I missed all the great defense, head movement and footwork he learned from Apollo in film 3.
😂😂😂
😂
@A_Mind_For_Change good point 🤣🤣
During filming Stallone told Lundgren to hit him with a real shot ... and sent him to the hospital for 9 days.
Guess he..... broke him
I am not surprised. Lundgren is also a martial artist.

Drago used steroids and still lost. Its a movie bruh. Nothings realistic.
