While there’s still traces of his regret in the film with his line about how he treated Adrian awful and how bad he clearly feels, I wish the scene had been included, they could have even cut the girlfriend line seen as though they never went with that side plot of Paulie having a love interest
The deleted scene with Paulie (that REALLY should have stayed in) actually shows him breaking down and crying for the first time *ever* , it takes place immediately after he threw the tantrum in his restaurant. Easily one of the saddest scenes. You should watch it definitely.
You asked how Dixon hurt his hand. In boxing, the tape, gloves, and proper punch technique can usually protect the hand, but breaks still happen. Dixon punched Rocky right on the hip bone, and he instantly broke his hand and you can see him holding it to protect it. Using it after that hurts like hell. You can hear the ringside guys and Dixon’s corner man saying “it will numb up on you.” That means in a little bit it will go numb and you can start throwing punches with it again, and it won’t hurt as bad. You have to just ignore the pain and hope you don’t destroy your hand even worse as you use it. 💪 I love that this one ended the same as the first- with Rocky going the distance. Fantastic.
The scene immediately after the fight as they were leaving where Paulie & Robert guide Rocky back out towards the crowd was not scripted. The filming of the fight took place in front of a real crowd who had come to see a heavyweight championship fight. Such was the appreciation shown by the crowd the two actors picked up on the vibe and got Sylvester to turn around and his reaction was one of true emotion for the crowd cheering for Rocky.
Maria's kiss is more of a "good luck"/"thank you" kiss than anything romantic. Both Stallone and the actress who played Maria have come out in interviews and completely shut down ANY consideration of there being a romantic issue involved. It was simply a real moment of gratitude and wishing someone the best at the same time. Why Dixon is actually a GOOD character. Because of his success, Dixon is considered "soft" because he had basically dominated the competition and the "critics" were saying that he had never really been "challenged". As such, he was personally feeling the same way Rocky was in Rocky 1. That he wanted to be taken "seriously". So when the chance came to fight Rocky, Dixon realized that it would give him the personal feeling of being "taken seriously" by taking on a legend like Rocky. BUT, Dixon actually RESPECTED Rocky as both a fighter and as "the legend". As such, he didn't want to be known as the guy who just "beat up an old Rocky" OR the guy who "destroyed Rocky's legacy". Which is why Dixon didn't really want to do the fight, because to him it was a "no win situation" in general. But once in the actual fight, when he realized that simply BEING in the ring once more, Rocky's legacy was secured no matter what. So now it simply became an issue of fighter vs fighter, and THAT became more important when Dixon realized that Rocky wasn't going to "go soft on him", nor was Rocky going to "simply bow out". So, when the fight became "real", Dixon was "all in" because Rocky was "all in" for his own reasons. And when it became "real" between the two of them, the overall "winner" no longer mattered as far as being a "boxer was concerned". BOTH MEN were now fighting for their own personal reasons. Rocky obviously wanted to see if he "still had it", while Dixon wanted to know if he was "actually a good fighter or not". As such, the fight turned out to more or less be about BOTH fighters winning "on the inside" no matter how the fight actually ended.
I agree with everything you said. I would say that Dixon was the least despicable opponent Rocky fought in this series outside of Apollo Creed of course.
@@TheShockninja -- Absolutely. Apollo is clearly the BEST opponent Rocky faced in the franchise. But Dixon was someone who you could RESPECT as a boxer, unlike the rest of them. Which is why I think that Dixon's reaction to the computer simulation is perfect. To the outsider it looks like Dixon is upset that the computer had him lose the match. But INSIDE, Dixon is more likely upset because how would a computer KNOW what it is actually like being inside the ring, having to face someone who also KNEW what it was like in the ring. I mean, it isn't Dixon's fault that he was always better prepared than his prior opponents were. But still, to see a computer completely remove the "inside the ring element" would tick off anyone. Especially someone who know how much preparations were involved AND the personal risk of injury but still entered the ring. So for me, seeing Dixon being upset over the computer simulation is more in line with how Apollo or Rocky would have felt if someone tried to simply "dismiss what it takes to enter the ring for real" but still act like they can predict an entire fight from the first to last bell.
That scene between Rocky and his son where he talks about life is probably one of the best scenes in cinema. So powerful! I have a shirt that has the quote from it.
Shes been watching so much Rocky, when Paulie said " who's the criminal?? " she let out the perfect South Philly Italian " Ohhhhhhhhhh ayooo " cadence!! 🤣🫶🏼
For Rocky, it's not about the win ... it's about the Heart! It's always been about the Heart. This is the perfect send off movie for the Rocky franchise. Much better than Rocky 5. The talk scene between Rocky and his son Robert is golden. Fantastic dialog.
The Line refers to his name, Mason Dixon. In American history, The Mason-Dixon line was used to form state borders during a border dispute. The largest portion of the Mason-Dixon line, along the southern Pennsylvania border, later became informally known as the boundary between the southern slave states and northern free states. There is a deleted scene from this movie that really shows Paulie in a different light. I wish they hadn't cut it, because I felt it was an important scene that demonstrated a lot of character growth. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/97ZQNox2lcw/v-deo.html
The reason why Little Marie said that "Punchy" as a name was disrespectful. Is because "Punchy" is a negative term used for boxers that have been punched in the head too much, and they now slur their words, and they aren't able to think correctly. Thank you for your Rocky reactions. They are always good!
Thank you, Biss, for seeing the Series all the way through. This is why Rocky will always be my favorite movie series. He brings out the best in all of us and teaches life lessons not found anywhere in movies!
Can't wait to see the cute and adorable Ms. Biss's reaction to one of my favorite movies. She is just genuinely wholesome and sweet in her reactions. I think that is why she's my favorite reactor.
You really really need to see the deleted scene with rocky and paulie, just after paulie throws his tantrum. Its sooo heartbreaking,,,, its the moment you finally turn and think paulie isnt that bad. Its a shame it was cut from the fil... i think it served a massive purpose to paulies character arc
"Punchy", the name suggested by Steps, is an insult, a slur referring to a boxer who has been hit too many times, and suffers from mental deficiencies as a result. Rocky knew that, but refused to be drawn in. Steps saw Rocky's good heart in that exchange, and started liking him more.
I told you!!! When you were saying you admire Adrian’s speech in Rocky 3 I told you wait until you get to Rocky Balboa. That speech to his son is the greatest in film history in my opinion
Love how you got so invested in Rocky. The movies and character. He is truly one of my favourites. Great reaction Biss! He’s a great character and person just like you. Always love watching your reactions, there so genuine and honest.
Thanks for all your fantastic Rocky reactions Bisscute, it's been a fun ride. I had no problem with the kiss between Rocky and Marie, though it is a moment of intimacy that goes beyond casual friendship, I see it simply as an expression of affection and acceptance. It tells Rocky that he is loved and acknowledged for the good person that he is. She sees him. 🙂
Sylvester Stallone was 60 years old when this movie came out. You have to give him credit for doing those training montage but also being fit for his age.
Found your channel a few days ago, just finished binging the Rocky reactions. Definitely still hold the 1st Rocky as my favorite but this one holds a special place, my dad grew up watching Rocky and 6 was the first one I was able to see in a movie theater with him. Loving the reactions!
To me, Rocky Balboa is the second best movie in the franchise. Everyone loves Rocky II and for good reason. But that speech he gives his son about life is perfect. That speech is probably the best writing Stallone has ever done and probably the best acting Stallone has ever done. It's one of the best, most powerful and inspiring speeches I've ever heard in a movie. That speech alone puts Rocky 6 on a whole other level. As a fanboy, I love that Duke is now Rockys trainer. As brief as it is, Duke has the best dialogue hes had in the franchise since Rocky 2. And Paulie made me cry when he told Rocky, "I love you." If that abusive pain in the a** can effect me like that, thats saying something. And Punchy is a brilliant name for Rockys last dog.
My favourite Rocky movie. It's a perfect ending to the Rocky franchise as it brings it full circle back to the first film. In Rocky 1, he didn't care if he won the fight or not - he only wanted to prove he could go the distance with Creed. Even as the results are being announced, Rocky was more interested in finding Adrian. And in this film, he again doesn't care about winning - just proving that he still has the spirit in him to go the distance with a younger, faster and fitter fighter, walking out as the results are announced. Stallone did a stellar job with this movie.
I watched this movie in theaters with friends and family, and we were so hyped moments before the fight. We were all huge Rocky fans and we NEVER expected a new movie. I remember even the other theater goers reacting to the fight as if it was real one. Hearing a real crowd chant, "ROCKY", is pretty surreal.
Every Rocky movie before this one: "You ain't never getting rid of me." From this movie onwards: *Visits Adrian's grave every day* He kept his promise.
Since the end of the American Revolutionary War, the Mason-Dixon Line was the dividing line between the abolitionist states of the North and the slave states of the South
I loved it when she said for Rocky to kick his jaw and uppercut his ass. Lol. Who knew she had such a violent streak. She made it sound almost adorable
I'm surprised you didn't recognized Spider Rico in this movie. He was the very first fighter Rocky fought in the beginning of the very first Rocky movie. I'd also came across deleted scenes from Rocky V, one of them shows the original Little Marie played in the first Rocky all grown up but didnt listen to Rocky's advice as she was homeless.
I have to be honest.....made me feel so old when Ms. Biss was unknowing of Sinatra...has it been that long. Yes you should react to Sinatra. Sinatra is in the top 20 greatest singers in the last Century, top 5 for a lot of people even...just wow mind blown away by that. feeling so old now...lol
He doesn't want to smash him in the face. It's exhibition. Hitting him in the gut after he's broke his hand. Just teaching him a well learned lesson. This is how you can be beat.
I love your reactions. I remember you mentioning a godfather reference during the 1st rocky reaction. I was wondering if you have watched the godfather and/or godfather 2 and if so was it a reaction video. If not, do you plan on watching it and having it as a reaction video.
Thanks for all the amazing rocky reactions. I’ve had a great time watching your reactions and I am a bigger fan of you, because we agree with so much about this franchise❤💛✨❣️Take care and have a really Nice day🌹
This is a special movie to me, it doesn't get enough credit. Everyone involved gives it their all & the speech by Stallone about life is up there with Bill Pullman's rousing speech in Independence Day. Stallone personally spoke to the actress who played Adrian, Talia Shire & explained his reasoning for killing off her character saying she took the news with "so much dignity". Talia said in an interview "The film has great regard for the process of mourning. Sly utilizes mourning to empower Rocky, and Adrian is made very mythical."
23:44 I think he’s looking at her as a companion. Not a romantic companion but someone he’s familiar with that he can hang with and treat like family since his doesn’t seem to want to be around him much. 24:51 Paulie was a soldier who probably was big stuff in the service then came home and no one looked at him the same way. Now that he’s in his later years he’s realizing what he lost being the way he was. 27:53 this speech is almost at the same level as his Rambo speech from First Blood.
Not sure if anyone else commented on this, but there is a Mason Dixon line in the US. It separated some parts of the South and North during the Civil War and is a distinction of old vs new in the movie's context.
I like how you continue to take certain things in consideration, such as the kiss scene, as recognizing the connection to the Indiana Jones kiss scene and the personal feelings that are likely to do with them and not the actual movie itself. Great self awareness. I like your ranking too. Now, all you have to do is complete the Rambo movies!
It's not readily available to watch online (DVDs are for sale), but just before this movie came out, Sage Stallone wrote and directed a 40 minute film, VIC, about a long out-of-work actor who gets an audition opportunity but loses his beloved dog on the same day. It was very moving, and it's worth tracking down. When this came out, he half-jokingly complained that his dad heavily borrowed from his short to create this story.
To keep people guessing the result of the final fight, they filmed 2 different endings. The alternative ending with Rocky winning is on youtube somewhere. You should look it up
It was a friends kiss. Nothing romantic there. Also, I'd have to go back and look, but I believe Dixon hit Rocky's hip bone with the lower part of his fist and fractured a bone in his hand. They call it a Boxer's Fracture for a reason.
Enjoy it. Dixon has one of the best traits among all the opponents Rocky fought. He at the least still got some respect and is respectful. This is a great wrap up to Rocky (not including Creed of course). Adrian needed to be dead in order for the movie plot to happen so Sylvester and the Talia agreed to kill off her character. But of course, it's still a sad thing.
“The Line” is admittedly a dumb reference to something we have here in the US. The Mason Dixon Line is the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland, and was once generally considered the border between “the North” and “the South.” It’s also why the South got the nickname “Dixie.” Dixon hurt his hand by punching Rocky right on the hipbone.
Rocky 6 was GOING TO BE the "ending of the Rocky franchise", which is why it feels more like a "send off" than you would think going into it NOW. But the original idea was that Rocky would simply go about his life "pre-fight" as just another "normal guy". But a few years later, they wanted to do the Creed series, and Creed 1-2 became the REAL ending of the Rocky character (as Creed 3 was done without Stallone's involvement) and actually had a far more "uplifting ending" than we got in Rocky 6.
Paulie threw a tantrum because his sister passed and there's no way to reconcile, work was the only thing to keep him occupied. Paulie lived with Adrian, but he wasn't the one who got them out of the neighborhood. There was the bit of jealousy towards Rocky, he's stubborn but he loved his sister and he loved Rocky.
Since you asked, I'd say Rocky is my favourite of the series by a long way. After that I'd probably go: 3, Balboa, 2, 4, Creed and then 5 a long way down at the bottom. I thought Creed had two good moments but I wasn't really into the whole film so I haven't gotten round to seeing the sequels.
I like the Rocky movie where he's down on his luck and gets goaded into fighting and he feels he has to because he's got something to prove and everyone's like you can't do it Rocky then he does.
Punchy is a derogatory name because that’s what you call a fighter that’s been hit in the head too many times
That speech Rocky gave Robert... something to remember.
I think that's one of the main reasons I love this movie so much. That one scene just hits so hard
You also need to watch Paulie's deleted scene, it gave more depth to his character
I came here to say the same thing. That scene should have never been deleted/trimmed.
Which one?

Btw…”punchy” is a derogatory often used for aging fighters (who are highly prone to this disease) that are showing signs of brain degeneration.
This was his love letter to the fans, and it was BEAUTIFULLY done ❤ I cried off and on thru the whole thing the first time I watched it

Referring to Mike Tyson as "The man who ate the ear." made me laugh uncontrollably! 😂
It just goes to show: you can accomplish a lot of great things, and one bad event can overshadow it all.

I feel bad for Paulie. Deep down he really cares about Rocky, he acts the way he does because he’s unhappy with himself.
Also, Pualie always has Rocky's back.
There is a brilliant deleted scene with Paulie that should have been left in
one of the best tragic characters in any franchise...
Paulie's life is what Rocky's could have easily been had he not gotten that 1-in-a-Million Chance.
@@Praetorian8814 . Yes, Totally correct. A lot of people forget the start, Rocky doesn't
“Yo Adrian…we did it”
Thanks for your heartfelt reaction. You know that a character has had an impact when they invoke so many emotions.
Rocky needed to fill a hole in his life, his own son stayed away, little Marie and Steps was something that he needed, a purpose in life.
Hi Biss, love your hair today with that sweater. Great reaction, as always! 😊
Fantastic - I love ALL the Rocky movies!!
_"You are one crazy old man.."_
_"You'll get there."_

I love the advice Rocky gives to Robert! My favorite Rocky movie is Rocky 2, then 3, 6,1,4,5
Shes been watching so much Rocky, when Paulie said " who's the criminal?? " she let out the perfect South Philly Italian " Ohhhhhhhhhh ayooo " cadence!! 🤣🫶🏼
For Rocky, it's not about the win ... it's about the Heart! It's always been about the Heart. This is the perfect send off movie for the Rocky franchise. Much better than Rocky 5. The talk scene between Rocky and his son Robert is golden. Fantastic dialog.

12:55 - "Yo, Spider!"
Spider Rico was Rocky's opponent in the opening of the first movie, the one that used the illegal headbutt that set Rocky off.
the actor playing rocky's son was in the tv show heroes. i think that's the closest you can get him to spider-man
Can't wait to see the cute and adorable Ms. Biss's reaction to one of my favorite movies. She is just genuinely wholesome and sweet in her reactions. I think that is why she's my favorite reactor.

"Punchy", the name suggested by Steps, is an insult, a slur referring to a boxer who has been hit too many times, and suffers from mental deficiencies as a result. Rocky knew that, but refused to be drawn in. Steps saw Rocky's good heart in that exchange, and started liking him more.

I know a lot of people wanted Robert to become a boxer as well, but Adrian and Rocky both talked about wanted him to use his mind.

Paulie was played by Burt Young. He played a good guy in the comedy Back to School. You would like his character in that movie

To me, Rocky Balboa is the second best movie in the franchise. Everyone loves Rocky II and for good reason. But that speech he gives his son about life is perfect. That speech is probably the best writing Stallone has ever done and probably the best acting Stallone has ever done.

Antonio Tarver who played Dixon in an interview something about Stallone like, "man, I hope I can move like that guy in my 50s or 60s."
Every Rocky movie before this one: "You ain't never getting rid of me."
From this movie onwards: *Visits Adrian's grave every day*
He kept his promise.

You were close about the actor that played Robert. He starred in a TV showed called "Heroes" and had a superpower.

You guys are going to love the episodes coming up!! Omg so good. 😮 Btw you two look extra gorgeous on this one 🔥🔥
This is a special movie to me, it doesn't get enough credit. Everyone involved gives it their all & the speech by Stallone about life is up there with Bill Pullman's rousing speech in Independence Day.
Stallone personally spoke to the actress who played Adrian, Talia Shire & explained his reasoning for killing off her character saying she took the news with "so much dignity".
Talia said in an interview "The film has great regard for the process of mourning. Sly utilizes mourning to empower Rocky, and Adrian is made very mythical."
Not the end of Rocky. He turns out and trains Creed (Apolo's Son). Stallone in real life still has the turtles Cuff and Link.
"Balboa walking straight into Dixon's punches" "He's been doing this for, what, 6 movies now?" I straight up laughed my ass off.
One of the major lessons the rocky movies try to teach is that winning has nothing to do with the public result.
You made my day, I love your reactions!
Mason Dixon Line was the line that divided the North from the South during the Civil War.
He was in the tv show, “Heroes”.
love your reactions. you are great!
Thank you so much
23:44 I think he’s looking at her as a companion. Not a romantic companion but someone he’s familiar with that he can hang with and treat like family since his doesn’t seem to want to be around him much. 24:51 Paulie was a soldier who probably was big stuff in the service then came home and no one looked at him the same way. Now that he’s in his later years he’s realizing what he lost being the way he was. 27:53 this speech is almost at the same level as his Rambo speech from First Blood.
Not sure if anyone else commented on this, but there is a Mason Dixon line in the US. It separated some parts of the South and North during the Civil War and is a distinction of old vs new in the movie's context.
I like how you continue to take certain things in consideration, such as the kiss scene, as recognizing the connection to the Indiana Jones kiss scene and the personal feelings that are likely to do with them and not the actual movie itself. Great self awareness. I like your ranking too. Now, all you have to do is complete the Rambo movies!
It's not readily available to watch online (DVDs are for sale), but just before this movie came out, Sage Stallone wrote and directed a 40 minute film, VIC, about a long out-of-work actor who gets an audition opportunity but loses his beloved dog on the same day. It was very moving, and it's worth tracking down.
When this came out, he half-jokingly complained that his dad heavily borrowed from his short to create this story.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to the Rambo series. You won't be disappointed.
I agree...the Rambo films is Stallone's other great franchise 👍
Biss: "His reputation is dog-ass." 🤣🤣
To keep people guessing the result of the final fight, they filmed 2 different endings. The alternative ending with Rocky winning is on youtube somewhere. You should look it up
She gave a perfect review of the Creed movies at the end of this video. One was really good, two was okay, three was not good.
It was a friends kiss. Nothing romantic there.
Also, I'd have to go back and look, but I believe Dixon hit Rocky's hip bone with the lower part of his fist and fractured a bone in his hand. They call it a Boxer's Fracture for a reason.
Enjoy it. Dixon has one of the best traits among all the opponents Rocky fought. He at the least still got some respect and is respectful. This is a great wrap up to Rocky (not including Creed of course). Adrian needed to be dead in order for the movie plot to happen so Sylvester and the Talia agreed to kill off her character. But of course, it's still a sad thing.
“The Line” is admittedly a dumb reference to something we have here in the US. The Mason Dixon Line is the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland, and was once generally considered the border between “the North” and “the South.” It’s also why the South got the nickname “Dixie.”
Dixon hurt his hand by punching Rocky right on the hipbone.
RIP Paulie, Burt Young
I watched this in 2006 with my dad, after his first overdose. It’s a pretty good movie. He really liked it.
Rocky 6 was GOING TO BE the "ending of the Rocky franchise", which is why it feels more like a "send off" than you would think going into it NOW. But the original idea was that Rocky would simply go about his life "pre-fight" as just another "normal guy".
But a few years later, they wanted to do the Creed series, and Creed 1-2 became the REAL ending of the Rocky character (as Creed 3 was done without Stallone's involvement) and actually had a far more "uplifting ending" than we got in Rocky 6.
I love the green color of your sweater ;)
Paulie threw a tantrum because his sister passed and there's no way to reconcile, work was the only thing to keep him occupied. Paulie lived with Adrian, but he wasn't the one who got them out of the neighborhood. There was the bit of jealousy towards Rocky, he's stubborn but he loved his sister and he loved Rocky.
The mason-dixon line was a disputed border line between 4 states (colonies) in the 1700s. That is why they called him"The Line"
get well soon, sweet biss
Stallone did not like 5 and wanted to finish in a good mode. The end was like 1 where he won even though he lost, things going full circle.
Since you asked, I'd say Rocky is my favourite of the series by a long way. After that I'd probably go: 3, Balboa, 2, 4, Creed and then 5 a long way down at the bottom. I thought Creed had two good moments but I wasn't really into the whole film so I haven't gotten round to seeing the sequels.
Mason Dixon is played by Antonio Tarver, a real Former Heavyweight Boxing Champion. A really good boxer back in the day.
that actress was the daughter in law from gran torino
You need to watch CREED!You won’t be disappointed
After his fight in rocky 1, he had a problem with his right eye. And now he boxes without problem😅
I like the Rocky movie where he's down on his luck and gets goaded into fighting and he feels he has to because he's got something to prove and everyone's like you can't do it Rocky then he does.
Now you must watch Creed trilogy ❤
Yay! been waiting for this one
