got to meet Dolph Lundgren at a convention a few years ago. during the Q&A, he talked about how when he was hired for Rocky 4, he was still new to acting and hadn't figured out how to pull his punches yet. Stallone directed him to hit for real on a few close ups. Dolph obliged. Next thing, production is halted for a few days because Dolph's punch sent Stallone to the hospital with swelling around his heart. Dolph was worried he'd killed Stallone.
Ivan Drago has the FEWEST LINES of all fighters in the Rocky franchise, and yet has one of the BIGGEST legacies due to his sheer physical presence in the ring.
Yeah even more so than Spider Rico and Union Cane 😂. But I'd say Drago's cold hearted attitude (if he dies he dies) had as much to do with it as his size.
Its often overlooked that Rocky & Adrian left their 8 year old child at home with a robot looking after him at christmas and parents of 2 other children allowed their kids to stay the night 🤣
No, actually Rocky had employees and even a butler in his house, it would be strange if he didn't leave his son with a nanny, but what really surprised me is that when he returned from Russia for Rocky V his son had grown 7 or 8 years old. 🤣🤣🤣
We are full of national pride at sporting events in the US. And major sporting event has our national anthem played before the start. In most northern states that boulder Canada we do play the Canadian anthem too. And in many southern states, there is a prayer just before the anthem also.
9:22 "His face is so clammy and his wife looks like his sister." Ahahahahahahaahahahahahahahah 😂😂😂. Funniest thing I've ever heard a RUclips reactor say.
Those who think it is cheesy are not old enough to remember what the Cold War was like in the 80's, those of us who lived through it know that this movie really captured the essence of the era.
Agreed. Those who say cheesy weren't around to meet people who lived behind the Iron Curtain or Cuba back then or who lived under Hugo Chavez Venezuela. US Constitution is built on Bible saying our rights come from God not the government.
@@alexcastillo8892hate to break it to you bud but the constitution in no way is built around the Bible. No founding American documents mention the Bible once. The founding fathers knew mixing church and state was a terrible idea. It wasn't until the red scare in the early 20th century that we put God on our money.
The dual training montage, i believe, was to reflect their dedication and heart when pushed to their limits. In the end, both were running on inclines, but Drago hit his limit and stopped, while Rocky had just a tiny bit more as he continued to climb until he reached the summit. That is how it played out in the fight. Rocky had just a bit more in reserve when both men were exhausted. But this fight had a very costly price, as revealed in the next Rocky film.
Thumbs up:)...but I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. I don't think Rocky had more in the tank...I think he he always has nothing left but still refuses to quit.
The actress who played Drago's sister... er... wife, was played by Brigitte Nielson. She was married to Sylvester Stallone at the time. Great reaction as always, and thanks for the laughs!
I love everything about this movie including the great 80's music throughout. It's such an inspirational movie. This and Vision Quest were used by our coaches in wrestling when I was younger to help motivate us.
I just want to let you know. I had a mouth full of eggs when when you started to hum Jon Cena's theme song.!!!!! Well, it caught me off guard, and I spit my eggs across the room!!!!! With that said, thank you for your reaction to such a wonderful movie! Rocky has inspired millions. I'm one of those millions that was inspired by this character. May God Bless you. Keep up the good work.
I watched a documentary about Billy Joel,when he did his concert in Moscow in the early 1980,some of the band members borrowed the officer,s cap of a soldier,when he tried to give it back,soldier told him"keep it." He still has it.
A couple of interesting Facts about Dolph Lungren aka Drago: 1. Dolph Lundgren might just be one of the smartest men in the world, let alone in Hollywood. After graduating from high school with straight A's, he spent some time in the United States in the 1970s on various academic scholarships. Lundgren has attended Washington State University, The University of Sydney, Clemson University, The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has a Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship at MIT 2. Stallone first rejected the 183 cm Lungren for this roll but Dolph sent in pictures of himself in boxing shorts and Stallone hired him 6 week later. Stallone may have regretted taking on Lundgren when filming for Rocky IV started as during one of the tapings Lundgren sent Stallone to the hospital. Lundgren and Stallone decided to spar, This ended with Stallone taking a body punch from Lundgren that put Stallone in the hospital and insurance companies thought Stallone was hit by a car, not a person. lol
Drago / Dolph Lundgren (Swedish) was never actually a boxer. But he has 4th dan black belt in Kyokushin karate and was the Europe's champion in 1980-81. He also has a degree in chemical engineering and speaks 7 languages - apart from still being an actor The wife in the movie (Brigitte Nielsen) is actually Danish, and was married to Sylvester Stallone at one point
It is always so much fun and so entertaining to watch you react to movies! This one is no exception! Very well done! I also like your little spontaneous interjections, when you are talking about one thing and see something on the screen that interrupts you. Awesome! Keep up the great work and have a brilliant rest of the day!
I'm glad you liked this one. Rocky won the match because he came into it with heart. Drago came into the match feeling like a lab rat. When the politician called Drago an idiot, I think Drago was trying to convince himself that he wins matches for himself rather than being an obedient servant. I agree with what you said. Everyone should feel patriotic to their country. The following is a quote that I appreciate: “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain
movie is iconic, but sadly was pure pro west anti ussr propaganda, they made us look like we were some mindless robots under insane oppression. yeah life wasnt perfect but we were simple people , hard workers, and in some ways lived more equality and stable than today in post ussr era. 60s 70s were unmatched decades of unity and equality. now most americans think ussr was like this movie portrayed....
Dolph Lundgren (Drago) is a trained martial artist. He had not really learned how to throw fake movie punches, so he would occasionally hit the other actors quite hard. Carl Weathers (Apollo) got legitimately upset and threatened to quit because of Lundgren's aggressiveness. Whille filming the fight at the end up the movie, one of Lundgren's punches hit Stallone in his chest, and his heart bounced against his sternum. He had to be emergency airlifted to the hospital with swelling of the heart and an irregular heartbeat, and he spent 2 weeks in intensive care. Though Stallone clearly recovered, the situation was so dire that a priest was sent in to give him his Last Rites because they were afraid that he might die. Stallone got into incredible shape for this movie, but admits that he likely pushed himself too hard. He claimed that he was living on only toast and coffee everyday, and he often felt so lightheaded that he might pass out. He would even do hand stands in the ring in between shots while filming Rocky's fight with Drago to increase the blood flow to his brain and keep himself from passing out.
Hi Biss, I am with you, I liked this one better than the last one! love these first 4 movies. I hope you will go through all the movies and into the Creed franchise as well. I look forward to more Rocky with you! Thanks for the fun!
You always give animated reactions and making quick remarks about things like the training differences. Rocky was more old school while the Russian was high tech training, and you did well at commenting about it.
I watched James Brown live at the city fair in town. It was a great concert. Considering it was a local fair and not the state fair, he was the hardest working performer. It was a couple years before his death. A lot older than he was in this movie.
So excited to watch this reaction. I hope you enjoyed it Bisscute. I'm about to find out. I remember going to see this when I was 10. I still can't stand Paulie. However I really like the brotherly friendship between Rocky and Apollo and was so sad about Apollo's death. Dispite that depressing moment. The movie is fantastic, and some great music in the soundtrack, but hard to beat Eye of the tiger. Fun movie facts: The fight between Rocky and Drago was filmed at the PNE Agrodome in Vancouver BC Canada. Only an hour from my house. So I thought that was very cool. The small farm where Rocky lived and trained was in Jackson Hole, and Grand Teton National Park Wyoming USA pretending to be the Soviet Union for many of the outdoor sequences. Sylvester Stallone and Brigitte Nielsen who played Drago's wife became engaged during the production of the movie. Their were married about 2 years. It would be much cooler if he had married actress Talia Shire (Adrian) but she was already married.
8:35 "He's gonna get smashed in the face. Ooh, my favourite flowers!" 🤣 It's stuff like this why Bisscute is one of my favourite Reactors. ❤ 9:22 🤣🤣🤣 Truly one of The Greats. And this levity is nice, considering what's about to happen. 😱😭
If no one hasnt brought it up yet, the training in Russia was actually filmed in the USA during the Winter in Wyoming. For the final fight, filming moved to Vancouver British Columbia where there is a large Russian metropolis. Many extras were hired and some received costumes to dress like the Russian military.
I'll say it for every one of these Rocky series reaction videos: Tony Burton was the secret MVP of these films. His scenes were so emotional and intense and I remember all of them. This movie was his best performance however
DRAGO"S WIFE was Brigitte Neilson... She and Stallone were married IRL for awhile! At 6'0 tall she towered over Sly, Who is Officially only 5'8" (He tells everyone he's 5'10, but the tape never lies). Russia may have had Olga Korbut, but it was Romania that had Nadia Comaneci! I met Nadia once in Las Vegas... What a Fantastic lady! Full of Humble Grace and Elegance.
8:54 Of course, _this_ was a mistake. Rocky was able to best Apollo in the _first_ movie because he had undergone a training regimen specifically _for_ Apollo. Then, in the _second_ movie, Rocky underwent training specifically for a _trained_ Apollo, and it took a lot more _out_ of him, but he bested him _again._ Then, in the _third_ movie in the franchise, Clubber Lang had undergone a training regimen specifically for _Rocky,_ while Rocky had undergone a _general_ training regimen with no _regard_ for Clubber, and Clubber bested _Rocky._ But in so doing, he gave Rocky the lesson in _humility_ he needed and he committed to a _new_ regimen specific for fighting Clubber _Lang._ Then, when they got in the ring a second time, Rocky bested _Clubber._ So here, Apollo has undergone a _general_ training regimen, with no customization from an analysis of _this_ adversary. Apparently, Apollo has not learned his _lesson._ It's not enough to undergo _training._ You have to undergo training specific to your _opponent._
Biss is really on the Rocky road right now. People say that the Rocky (as opposed to Creed) films go downhill from here, but I hope Biss at least sticks with them long enough to get to my personal favourite, Rocky VII - Adrian's Revenge.
I love this movie. Can't wait for you to watch the rest of the Rocky films. Also I'd love to see you react to Cinderella Man. It's one of my favorite boxing movies of all time. It's truly amazing
Things in life still happen this way. Romance is not dead. it depends on what you believe in and who. It's has to be an unconditional relationship. You should look up Rocky Marciano, a undefeated heavyweight boxer 49 wins 0 defeats with 43 knock outs. He was not very tall, but had stamina because of his training and his boxing style. Love you Biss hope you enjoy movies that get to the heart and emotions of our human culture. Be safe well healthy humble kind always...
Rocky 4 was the first of the franchise I saw in the theater. I was 8. Watched it 10 million times on VHS as a kid. Probably not the best, but absolutely my favorite.
I knew you would like it. I love them all. If I had to put them in order of my favorites, it would be 1-4-3-2-6-5, and I love 2. Sylvester Stallone said that Rocky IV could have killed him after things got a bit too real during filming. His co-star, Dolph Lundgren, hit him so hard that he ended up in intensive care; I guess that's what you call dedication to your craft, or just crazy. In real life, Sylvester Stallone got married to Brigitte Nielsen, aka Drago's wife, but it only lasted 2 years. They also made another movie together called Cobra (1986). I'm glad you have enjoyed all the Rocky movies. I hope you watch the last 2. I always enjoy your reactions.
See when apollo came down from above before his fight,he was standing getting applauded and cheered,all the while behind him was a big golden bulls head,rocky always blesses himself before fights so apollo was always going to die for the praise to the golden idol
1. Overall rating from me: Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky, Rocky II Rocky V. 2. This was an important time for the USA. Reagan. It's once again part of our world.🤬 3. Apollo's death didn't seem to affect you as much as others. 4. This was filmed primarily in Wyoming and Victoria, BC Canada 5. IRL Dolph actually cracked a couple of Sly's ribs, so filming had to be delayed so he could recover.
4:53 "You see, I fight so you don't _have_ to fight, 'cause I want you to use your head for somethin' instead of a _punchin'_ bag, like _I_ do." And _this_ line, I think, is the main reason this is the last movie I've _watched_ in this franchise. This scene makes a key _point_ that it seems like _subsequent_ movies in this franchise have opted to _ignore._ Rocky knows, in the eyes of the world, he's the heavyweight boxing champion of the _US._ In the eyes of the world, he's synonymous with _boxing._ And, indeed, boxing has been very _good_ to him. But it's also _cost_ him things he has no hope of ever getting _back;_ things he would gladly _exchange_ his history with boxing for. According to the Association of Neurological Surgeons, 90% of boxers suffer a concussion at some point during their career, because human beings are not naturally _adapted_ to keep recovering from one heavyweight head-blow after the next. They undergo extensive _training,_ but the unavoidable fact is that training can take you only so _far._
Apollo did a lot of talking at the press conference, but Drago did the same in the ring. Drago had his hands down to show Apollo that he could take his best punches. It was a demonstration of the difference in power between the two. When he fought Rocky, Drago came out swinging. That was a sign of respect for Rocky.

I love this movie. Can't wait for you to watch the rest of the Rocky films.
Also I'd love to see you react to Cinderella Man. It's one of my favorite boxing movies of all time. It's truly amazing
31:30 -- Best...Rocky series line...EVER.
Can't wait for your Rocky V reaction Biss!!!
Great review. So many great moments. “Geeet some allllllloe verrrraaaa forrr heez skeen”
22:54 Expectations were created 😂💌
Continue a saga o 5 tem diálogos incriveis, e é primordial para as sequências que vem a seguir, ótima reação! aqui do Brasil!
Well said! She should continue!!!!
The little boy in this movie isn't Sly's son but his real life son Sage does appear in Rocky 5, Sage Stallone died in 2012
Things in life still happen this way. Romance is not dead. it depends on what you believe in and who. It's has to be an unconditional relationship. You should look up Rocky Marciano, a undefeated heavyweight boxer 49 wins 0 defeats with 43 knock outs. He was not very tall, but had stamina because of his training and his boxing style. Love you Biss hope you enjoy movies that get to the heart and emotions of our human culture. Be safe well healthy humble kind always...
You are really more entertaining than watching Rocky....... I love your heart, your emotions and how you are submerged in the story!!
I agree, so very true 😊
"I knew it. I knew it in my BONES…" 😂
Rocky 4 was the first of the franchise I saw in the theater. I was 8. Watched it 10 million times on VHS as a kid. Probably not the best, but absolutely my favorite.
Rocky Balboa is by far the best Rocky movie! Can't wait to see you react to it Biss!
your reaction to this movie was amazing
Rocky 4 is the best imo because of its power to make you want to change and be a better human being.
I knew you would like it. I love them all. If I had to put them in order of my favorites, it would be 1-4-3-2-6-5, and I love 2. Sylvester Stallone said that Rocky IV could have killed him after things got a bit too real during filming. His co-star, Dolph Lundgren, hit him so hard that he ended up in intensive care; I guess that's what you call dedication to your craft, or just crazy. In real life, Sylvester Stallone got married to Brigitte Nielsen, aka Drago's wife, but it only lasted 2 years. They also made another movie together called Cobra (1986). I'm glad you have enjoyed all the Rocky movies. I hope you watch the last 2. I always enjoy your reactions.
This is how my brothers are, it is and will continue to be one of the best fights that cinema has ever given us. ❤
See when apollo came down from above before his fight,he was standing getting applauded and cheered,all the while behind him was a big golden bulls head,rocky always blesses himself before fights so apollo was always going to die for the praise to the golden idol
Rocky 4 is probably my favorite as well.
1. Overall rating from me: Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky, Rocky II
Rocky V.
2. This was an important time for the USA. Reagan. It's once again part of our world.🤬
3. Apollo's death didn't seem to affect you as much as others.
4. This was filmed primarily in Wyoming and Victoria, BC Canada
5. IRL Dolph actually cracked a couple of Sly's ribs, so filming had to be delayed so he could
recover.
Awsome reaction, your always the best. 👍✌️✌️
4:53 "You see, I fight so you don't _have_ to fight, 'cause I want you to use your head for somethin' instead of a _punchin'_ bag, like _I_ do."
And _this_ line, I think, is the main reason this is the last movie I've _watched_ in this franchise. This scene makes a key _point_ that it seems like _subsequent_ movies in this franchise have opted to _ignore._
Rocky knows, in the eyes of the world, he's the heavyweight boxing champion of the _US._ In the eyes of the world, he's synonymous with _boxing._ And, indeed, boxing has been very _good_ to him. But it's also _cost_ him things he has no hope of ever getting _back;_ things he would gladly _exchange_ his history with boxing for.
According to the Association of Neurological Surgeons, 90% of boxers suffer a concussion at some point during their career, because human beings are not naturally _adapted_ to keep recovering from one heavyweight head-blow after the next. They undergo extensive _training,_ but the unavoidable fact is that training can take you only so _far._
Apollo did a lot of talking at the press conference, but Drago did the same in the ring. Drago had his hands down to show Apollo that he could take his best punches. It was a demonstration of the difference in power between the two. When he fought Rocky, Drago came out swinging. That was a sign of respect for Rocky.
Brazilian here, I love this film!!
