      I actually think the script was kind of poor, in fact the acting's not great either
      The film's only successful cause of its interesting characters and just the general underdog story that it relies on. A good film but thoroughly overrated

    BONUS THING! When Rocky reopened the bathroom door after thinking Mickey left, that ACTUALLY was a blooper. Burgess forgot to grab his hat and went back to grab it, Stallone thought the scene was over and left. After realizing Burgess didn't leave, he went back in, thinking the mess up would just be cut. But when it came down to editing the movie, the editors thought this random fluke actually boosted the mood in the shot that they kept it.

    Talia Shire was sick with a cold on the day they shot Adrian's first kiss with Rocky and did not want to infect him with it, Stallone was not so concerned so they shot the scene and you can tell that she is nervous and hesitant throughout the shot, it made her so much more cute and shy.

    Point of fact: You mentioned that the 2 different shots of Rocky running up the steps gave you an idea of how hard and how long he had been training but truth be told, Rocky didn't have very much time. He only had 5 weeks to prepare for the fight which was the reason why Jurgens and Apollo were forced into being creative for the fight and they needed an novelty. If you remember, after finding out Mack Lee Green had broken his hand, several other contenders are mentioned and Jurgens comments that 5 weeks isn't enough to train. Incidentally, one of the fighters mentioned, Joe Czak, was one of Rocky's opponents in Rocky III.

    That was all very interesting, especially the part about the fight scenes being shot in reverse order. I never would have guessed. I am dubious though, about the one of Stalone being offered the role if he wrote the script. My understanding is that he had written the movie and had been shopping it around for months trying to find someone to produce it. He had been turned down time after time because he insisted on playing the role.

    • @jb888888888
      @jb888888888 2 года назад +1

      Yeah, the wording of that Thing is off. But I think what they meant was that if he wanted to star in it then the producers wouldn't pay him for the script. The other option was he would accept the $250K payment and walk away, not star in it. (They _might_ have let him audition, just to appease him probably, and then cast oh IDK maybe James Caan.)

    #10. Butkus the dog, is actually Sylvester Stallone's dog. #11. Joe Spinell as Tony Gazzo... In the scene where Tony Gazzo is reprimanding Rocky, he has an asthma attack. That was real. The actor Joe Spinell had an asthma attack, and he used his inhaler in the middle of the scene. They just kept it in the film. #12. Originally when Rocky and Adrian went to the ice rink, there was supposed to be hundreds of extras skating, but the budget just didn't allow it. So they figured that an empty ice rink would be more fitting and shot it that way. #13. In the scene when Sylvester. Stallone is running extremely fast along the pier… That was just shot at the last minute. They had the camera inside a van. They open the doors and they shot that scene. They didn't have any permits. 14#. At the end of round 14 where Rocky punches Apollo Creed in the ribs. What you're actually seeing is the same punch but just played twice.

    I always thought Rocky's punches during his victory dance at the top of the steps looked weird. I assumed it was because Stallone was an actor and not a real boxer but then this didn't explain why his punches looked more normal in the rest of the film. Thanks Cinefix!

    Stallone is THE only.actor i know who literally put himself to work in a major motion picture
    Aside from the bit role he had in Lords of Flatbush i cant think of anything he had done up to that point

    Stallone sold his dog outside a liquor store for $50 in the early 1970s because he was broke and nearly homeless. Then, once the actor managed to write and sell the script for “Rocky,” he bought the dog back for $15,000 so it could star in the upcoming movie.

    Stallone actually wrote Rocky before it was even going to film. He took the scripts to a pitch meeting and he said that he's only going to let them use it only if he was cast as Rocky

    Yo, Rock! Always been a fan, always will be. Thank goodness Stallone had the guts to hold true to his vision and to make the film with HIM as Rocky. The movie is perfect. Anyone else in the role would have diminished it. The studios aren't so smart. It's too bad that Stallone (eventually) had to get old. I wish there were a dozen more sequels.

      I was wondering if that'd come up. Lloyd was even thanked in John Avildsen's Oscar acceptance speech.
      Also just realised I wasn't subscribed to your channel, so I'm kinda glad your comment came up. I know it's been ages since Blip was even a thing - but I still kinda forget that most critics have gone back to RUclips.

    i think this is the only movie whitch didnt become ruined after watching "behind the scene" kinda videos on youtube and i still think some times that Rocky Balboa did exist in real life, i dont know why, maybe because of amazing acting and minimum of si-fi hollywood action bullshit? cuz this movie still looks so dam real even today

    One thing about Rocky 3. It was a debut of Mr T's acting career and he had 0 acting experience. He was specifically chosen to play the role after one of the Casting Directors randomly saw him on TV doing a Bouncer's Competition.

    In rocky 2(i think it is) when he trains to be right handed not left, they had to do that becuase he injured his left hand during sparring practice and couldnt use his left hand as well as his right one.

      1. It's a remake, 2. Brian de Palma was on cocaine writing it, 3. it's intended to be anti-drugs, 4. Al Pacino spoke Spanish when not delivering lines for fun, 5. a handful of real-life grizzly murders perpetrated by Cubans mixed up with the drug cartel inspired several scenes, 6. It was shot almost entirely in L.A. not Miami, 7. Sosa was based on a real drug cartel kingpin in Bolivia.
