Ghost Mick got him to get up, but like every Rocky movie before, Adrian got Rocky to win. Granted he was doing good and holding his own, but the second Adrian and Robert showed up and Adrian called his name for what we don't know would be the last time she ever did that, that's when Rocky started going for the knock out.
Sometimes it's like that - you can call me names all day, maybe even get by with some push and shove action on me and I'll walk away. But lay a hand on someone I care about.... woooo it's on - full blast.
Reminds me of the line from The Outlaw Josey Wales Dyin ain't much of a living, boy - Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales ruclips.net/video/zLRlY46ttfE/видео.html
No.. the most badass line in the entire franchise comes from Rocky 2.. during the final fight when Mick says “You’re getting killed out there!” Rocky replies “It’s my life.” The best line in Rocky 5 is “One more round.”
The idea of Mickey’s spirit existing peacefully in the afterlife, or the ether, then at 4:00 he sees what they’re doing to Rocky and steps into his corner one last time to help him….so powerful. I get teary eyed every time. “You was the Angel.”
@@danieldonnelly3589 Exactly how I feel about the scene too. When Rocky walked from the ring, took care of himself, he was fine. But to see him get 'moyderised'? No way Mickey was gonna rest.
@@borntodoit8744 Well tbh Paulie got them in the whole poor situation in the first place obv by mistake but it could've gotten Rocky killed with his brain damage but ye IG family is family but he nearly got Rocky killed
That part is what makes this entire scene for me. Paulie gets clocked, and Rocky instantly flips a switch and goes all the way back to the enforcer he used to be.
You can hit rocky.. but you will never end him. Rocky will always beat you. Because he never gives up.. until he wins. That's rocky for ya bro. Legend.
The interesting thing about this street fight is that it shows that, as powerful as he was, Tommy was not on the same level as Rocky's other rivals. Against Apollo, Clubber, and Drago, Rocky was in a struggle for survival. Those other fights, you could tell there was no way Rocky would win if it came down to a judge's decision. He would have to have the knockout. But here, against Tommy...when Rocky faced him, and Tommy had his full attention...Rocky took him down with relative ease. It was only after Tommy jumped him from behind...basically the equivalent of a mugging, something that he couldn't have done in the ring...that Tommy gained the advantage. In the ring, Rocky would have been clearly better than Tommy...in a street fight, it was closer, but Rocky is still champ..
The Rocky movies built an amazing character with a no lose attitude, a no quit spirit, he was willing to die to win the fight. Rocky IV (4) he flew to Russia to take on the invincible Siberian Express, Ivan Drago in a time of the cold war when the USSR was still powerful. Even the promoter George W Dukes even said in the movie "A Rocky Balboa he will never be" and "who are you, this man fought wars in the ring."
1:59 *"I want my respect!"* Yeah, because beating a worldwide beloved boxer past his prime with brain damage in his hometown full of people who love him like a brother will definitely earn you respect.
Tommy was also in boxing condition since he was actively fighting, sure Rock kept up with the bag and staying strong but he wasn’t conditioned to fight in that moment. So that makes Tommy losing even worse.
Rocky pummeled Tommy to the ground effortlessly in seconds at the start when Tommy tried to throw down head on. Tommy only gained a brief upper hand and beat Rocky down temporarily jumping Rocky from behind. Like a coward. Tommy was no coward or weak but not shit to a pro street fighter, ex-mob leg breaker and true former professional heavyweight boxing champion like Rocky. And lost still after Rocky got up. Rocky minus brain damage and more so in his prime would've obliterated Tommy effortlessly either way cheapshots or not.
Alot of people did not love Rocky 5 but to me this actually was one of the better ones. A sensible transition to being forced to retire then the added curve of Paully signing over his financial power of attorney and losing everything. Took the Rocky character back to his roots
My issue is no way would rocky remain broke running mickeys gym. As soon as word got out about it fighters from all over the world of all skill levels from amatures to top contenders would flock to philly to train with Rocky. It wouldn’t be just tommy and a bunch of nobodies.
If you watch it right after Rocky 4, you won't like it. Mainly because of continuity issues. If you forget that it is a continuation of Rocky 4, you will like it. The first Rocky I watched was Rocky 5 and I liked it. Then watched it again after Rocky 4 and after the first scene, I lost interest.
The fight with Drago left more than just physical pain. Between that fight and Apollo's death, both weighed heavy on Rocky's shoulders. Even though Rocky beat Drago, he still had regret for not stopping that fight with Apollo Creed.
The editing was well done, it triggers anxiety as we all watched the Rocky movies, know the scenes and emotions behind them. I wish they would have put in an angry Clubber Lang when he was beating rocky, Mr T played an intimidating character. They also could have put some Apollo Creed parts in there like when he tells Rocky "There is no tomorrow!" when Rocky was training to fight Clubber Lang.
"A little angel is gonna come down, he's gonna whisper in your ear, "Get up you son of a bitch, cause Micky loves ya." "He's no machine, I didn't hear no bell. Get up you son of a bitch, cause Micky loves ya." Maybe be the most spiritual ending and lines of all time. Gives me a tear every time.
Little known fact: Stallone actually had to take real punches for some of the slow mo shots in the Rocky films. Michael B. Jordan later did the same for the Creed films, at Stallone's suggestion. The results speak for themselves. Tommy Gun's actor was a real heavyweight boxer, and a good hard puncher at that. Imagine taking punches from that guy to sell the scene.

After reaching the pinnacle of boxing and being still doubted because the previous champ retired would do numbers on a guy that thinks he’s the best. He’s a fighter not scared to fight. Although taken advantage of and not really thinking for himself the dude is a true fighter. Didn’t care about the ring
I've talked to alot of people that say they did not like Rocky 5. I thought this film was fantastic! Sure, it didn't live up to the action film that Rocky 4 was, and was a little slower, but the story was great! Rocky was forced to come back down to earth and go back to his roots and teach his son how to survive the street life that he himself had to live in the past, at the same time, carry on Mickey's legacy and teach a new fighter the politics of the business and what to be cautious of and when to recognize a scam, while protecting him at the same time. I don't know why people don't like this film, but it was fantastic as far a I'm concerned
I liked it. I just liked the first 4 Rocky movies MUCH better. But Stallone does some good things here. I DO wish he had remained with a musical score that was more in keeping with the tone of the previous films. The urban style of music didn't really feel like a Rocky movie. But the cast-as always-was outstanding. Stallone, Shire, Young...they are all perfect at their roles. By any other standard, this is a good movie. Like I said...I just like the others better.
I think most of the outrage with this movie is mostly comparing to the first 4. There just seems to be a lot of inconsistency with characters and motivations in the movie, in my eyes. The biggest issue I had was with Duke. Like, I get he wanted Rocky to fight because that was a big money-maker for him, but considering it looked like he was going to make just as much off of Tommy teamed up with Rocky to take on Union Cane. It seemed like they were trying way too hard to make Duke-- and by extension, Tommy-- the villain of the movie. If this was its own movie, I would be much more forgiving of it, and probably even like it, and maybe that's why a lot of people like it. Being it's a Rocky movie though is ultimately why I was disappointed. And no, Rocky retiring wasn't a problem. It was understandable. Drago practically destroyed his brain. But let me put it this way: Creed IMO is what this movie should've been. That all being said, this movie is Oscar-worthy compared to a lot of recent crap that has been coming out; especially from Disney.
@@jadenmuniz8817 Well most of my bad-mouthing of Disney is with their live-action remake phase they're going through. Most of their original stuff I definitely appreciate. I didn't mean that all Disney movies were bad. And even if I did, that's not your problem. If you like Disney movies, that's perfectly fine. Opinions are opinions, and in countries like the United States, (my home country) the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech/Religion gives you a right to have any opinion you want about anything.
At 4:03 when we catch some quick visions of Mickey, then showing his eyes, like he's there watching it go down; I get goosebumps EVERY TIME, such a good moment!
Rocky would have died without his wife or kids present. If this was a private area then Tommy would have killed him. Rocky V’s original ending was to have Tommy kill Rocky.
Tommy Gunn's actor in this movie is Tommy Morrison, he was a real life boxer on his way up and he actually fucked his life up by sleeping with countless women contracting HIV. Had to retire, got addicted to drugs, went to prison for a bit, still addicted to drugs, got pec implants, died from AIDS almost ten years ago.
so much real life tragedy surrounded this film and came through in it, especially considering Sage as well (RIP). No wonder Stallone would rather pretend it doesn't exist, it's probably just too painful
I always feel bad for Sage Stallone. It is like he was never born, and Stallone fawns over his three daughters. Sage, you will never be forgotten. You were the hero in Rocky V.
"Get up, because Mickey loves ya." Sure, it's a corny line, but Burgess Meredith was such a fine actor, and because the audience was so invested in Rocky and Mickey's characters, that it pulled everyone in. Cliche or not, this was one badass scene, and the cinematography (where Rocky has his flashbacks--lightning cuts, blood running in an almost Expressionistic way) was exceptional. Combine that with the music...winning!
All of Tommy’s managers random screams of rahhhhhhhhh during the fight are hilarious 😂😂😂 “fight back you bum fight back!!!”also the shaky zoom ins to his son 😂 so cheesy I love it
Rocky will always be with us all. Rocky never quit and always took the shots. He was a street fighter that alway had the heart to win. And that’s the Rocky we love.
When Rocky was knocked down, and lying in the street and hearing Micky's voice, he was actually feeling that he was about to be killed at the hands of Tommy, like Apollo was killed at the hands of Drago. He was about to give up, and accept that his time had come, and just slip into unconsciousness and die right there in Paulie's arms, but Mickey gave him the strength to survive and he found the courage to get up, and fight for his life!
@@castortroy7704 Yeah for sure. It's pretty bad when Tommy's Manager Duke told Tommy over and over that fighting Rocky in a street fight was a terrible idea and he wouldn't win lol.
@@rgkong8783Paulie was right to defend Rocky, Tommy was taken in by Rocky like a son, train him and made him a champ. Tommy was ungrateful, arrogant and angry.
The one thing people can all agree, whether they like or dislike Rocky 5, the street brawl is one of the best moments in the Rocky franchise. I have yet to find anyone who legit didn’t like this scene, at least without a proper reason.
Agreed. And this movie as a whole isn’t half bad. It’s just not as good as the others and there’s some legit silliness. I mean, i never felt Tommy was much of a threat to Rocky if Rocky had gone through with the legitimate fight. The guy beat Ivan freaking Drago for crying out loud! The satisfaction in this fight is not so much about him overcoming the odds, but more along the lines of a delivering a well deserved beat down.
@@abehambino yeah, this movie lost some slight credibility in the beginning because of the writing. No way Adrian allows them to fall into financial issues , even if that happened ,no way does rocky not get a sponsorship after beating Ivan lol overall I enjoyed the movie but the inconsistencies with the writing was a bit much compared to other Rocky films
@@castortroy7704yeah. Tommy was a lot like Rocky except for one thing. He didn’t have Rocky’s heart. He didn’t care about anyone else. Tommy only cared about himself and going to the top.
lot of people don’t like Rocky 5, but i do. it makes a change watching Rocky fight in a street fight. This is how Rocky live through the years fighting in the streets getting stronger it isn’t always about the ring so it’s cool to see a different fight.
I remember when my parents went to the movies together to watch this while I was at my grandmother's house. I grew up watching Rocky 4 all the time as a kid and I asked them what they thought of Rocky 5 and they both said it was a good ending to the series. It must have really felt like the end
As criticizes this movie was I still enjoy it! It was the first time we actually seen Rocky fight outside of the Ring in the streets. Boxing is a unique skill that shines when it's protected in the ring. Fighting in the streets is something completely different and requires a completely different mindset.
Firstly: Sly looks irresistible in this scene. Secondly: great end with Rocky fighting from where everything started (the street) which is a double message to read in the story. Everything goes back to the beginning, to the roots of the character. I love it. Fan of Rocky ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can watch the flashback of Mickey over and over, especially where he does that abrupt glance down. I guess Mickey knew Rocky was in trouble, and encouraged him to snap out of it.
When Rocky gets knocked down by Tommy, I always thought it was silly at first the flashbacks and stuff, but know watching it as an adult I like it. It’s just flashbacks from his fight with drago which clearly did or did the most of his brain damage and which fight he was probably most bothered by.
Rocky embodies the spirit of man which is all about mission and purpose. Doing what needs to be done even though everyone fears for you and wishes you weren't doing it.
From the SOUL, I feel very badly about what happened to Sage. He was a great actor, and, I'm sure, a very nice person. He was definitely too young to pass away. I'm a fan.
Some people don't like the fifth movie....i honestly enjoyed all of the Rocky films including this one..perfect ending because it showed that Rocky is not always a sports film series 100%..its more than just that
"You Knocked Him Down, Why Don't You Try Knocking Me Down Now!!" "Yo Tommy, I Didn't Hear No Bell,One More Round!!" Edit: This Fight Theme Is My Favorite
@@mikeking3507 Fr and if tommy fought prime apollo he would’ve been overwhelmed by apollo’s ability to throw hard fast combos. But he would’ve been proud of rocky here
Love that little side to side Stallone does right before the end of the fight. Almost as if Rocky is taking a few final cautious measures to make sure his opponent has no more tricks.
Can we just say, if Rocky did not have his brain INJURY and this was in actual ring, despite being like 43-44 here, The Italian Stalion would have destroyed this chump in the first round
@@SuperHitman55 I have Tommy lasting eight or nine rounds because I consider him to be somewhat better than the various contenders whom Rocky beat to defend his title between Rocky II and Rocky III and Rocky III and Rocky IV (a.k.a., fighters not up to the level of Apollo, Clubber, or Drago). I also have Rocky knocking out Clubber in the 11th round during their first fight if Rocky had simply trained for Clubber as hard as he did for Apollo and Drago.
Stallone and the whole rocky series. Even if he only did this movie and nothing more would still be one of my favs. The bound between Rock and Pauly even after the stuff they’ve been through at the beginning. All Rocky really had, there in a heart beat to defend family
Most convincing part of this whole sequence is Stallone's eyes whe he says "Now you knocked him down, why don't you try knockin' me down now", that's a glare no one wants to be on the receiving end of anywhere or anytime!
This Rocky old middle aged, brain damaged, untrained and far past his prime still mopped the floor with Tommy in a bare knuckle street fight despite Tommy gaining the upper hand in the first half of the fight only by sucker punching Rocky from behind after Rocky floored Tommy easily head on. Yes, Rocky in his prime would've obliterated Tommy Gunn in seconds fighting dirty regardless. Tommy was very strong, resilient and a very skilled, capable boxer and a fairly good, experienced street brawler from the streets of Oklahoma but easy work to a pro street fighter like Rocky or all of Rocky's past opponents. (Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed in his prime or long past his prime.)
@@SuperHitman55 If they had stopped there it would've been perfectly fine as a final chapter to his story. Rocky Balboa was good though too. Haven't seen the Creed movies yet.
Watched this in the pictures when it was released , the place was absolutely rocking when this fight was on . Kids nowadays will never understand how good the pictures were .
Hell yeah man, I agree. I remember when I went to see Rocky VS. Drago in cinema just a couple of years ago and the entire room was silent as they watched the final fight. It was nice. I scanned around the room and saw literally no one on their phones. I've seen Rocky IV soooooooooooo many times and I am willing to bet that it was someone's first time seeing it. They were really into it which makes me happy :)
Ghost Mick did it. He turned the tide
LoL 😂
Ghost Mick got him to get up, but like every Rocky movie before, Adrian got Rocky to win. Granted he was doing good and holding his own, but the second Adrian and Robert showed up and Adrian called his name for what we don't know would be the last time she ever did that, that's when Rocky started going for the knock out.
Can see mick in the body punches
😂
bet Apollo wishes he had ghost Mick on his shoulder
I love that this movie reminded me that Rocky wasn't always a boxer. He was a street brawler and used to work for a mobster
True
Cracken skulls
Loanshark
Never in real fight with real boxer not to kill someone with bare knuckle especially after throwing so many punch like in this movie.
@@speed9070 yaa especially wen he was supposed to fight Iron Mike Tyson
I love how Rocky only chooses to fight Tommy after the guy assaults Paulie. That’s loyalty.
Sometimes it's like that - you can call me names all day, maybe even get by with some push and shove action on me and I'll walk away. But lay a hand on someone I care about.... woooo it's on - full blast.
That's family!
That's Rocky for you. You can insult him and he'll take it in stride.
But you insult the people he cares about, the gloves are off.
it's similar to Karate Kid 3, he only decides to fight when he is getting the shit beaten out of him or if his mentor is insulted lol
Funny thing is, that Burt Young is about the only guy in that scene who could take that punch since he was an actual boxer
“My ring’s outside”

My favourite badass lines
Rocky : "Age before beauty"
And
Apollo: "Shall I ring da bell"
Rocky : "Please do Apollo"
Apollo: "Ding Ding"
No.. the most badass line in the entire franchise comes from Rocky 2.. during the final fight when Mick says “You’re getting killed out there!” Rocky replies “It’s my life.” The best line in Rocky 5 is “One more round.”
Most badass line is in rocky 1,
When the fight comes to an end and Apollo says “ ain’t gonna be no rematch “ and rocky replies “don’t want one”
“You knock him down, now why don’t you try knocking me down”, personally one of my favourite lines

Idk why but everytime I watch this I feel like Paulie pushed Tommy knowing he'd hit him and knew Rocky would beat his ass😂😂😂
Oh that's dirty, haha
He was a bit of an instigator. lol
"get up you son of a butch micky loves ya" the hardest line and scene out of all the films
Love Paulies loyalty when he stepped to Tommy then was like “You shoulda left him on the streets where you found him” true talk
Its beyond Loyalty. Rocky is Family. Nothing is more important than Family, which is why Rocky, in kind, put Tommy into the street. Salute Familia!
“My rings outside “ Love that line
Rocky wins outside, or in the ring.
Hell ya!
Me too
Man you would have to be pretty cocky but also tough to want to fight Rocky after he took down Ivan Drago.
Yeah. I guess Tommy thought he could take him
@@SuperHitman55 Yet he still got beat by a man with brain damage.
Tommy was tough but far out of his league against Rocky.
After reaching the pinnacle of boxing and being still doubted because the previous champ retired would do numbers on a guy that thinks he’s the best. He’s a fighter not scared to fight. Although taken advantage of and not really thinking for himself the dude is a true fighter. Didn’t care about the ring
@@tgran1258 This happened to Karpov in chess and he did fine.
I've talked to alot of people that say they did not like Rocky 5. I thought this film was fantastic! Sure, it didn't live up to the action film that Rocky 4 was, and was a little slower, but the story was great! Rocky was forced to come back down to earth and go back to his roots and teach his son how to survive the street life that he himself had to live in the past, at the same time, carry on Mickey's legacy and teach a new fighter the politics of the business and what to be cautious of and when to recognize a scam, while protecting him at the same time. I don't know why people don't like this film, but it was fantastic as far a I'm concerned
I liked it. I just liked the first 4 Rocky movies MUCH better. But Stallone does some good things here. I DO wish he had remained with a musical score that was more in keeping with the tone of the previous films. The urban style of music didn't really feel like a Rocky movie. But the cast-as always-was outstanding. Stallone, Shire, Young...they are all perfect at their roles. By any other standard, this is a good movie. Like I said...I just like the others better.
I think most of the outrage with this movie is mostly comparing to the first 4. There just seems to be a lot of inconsistency with characters and motivations in the movie, in my eyes.
The biggest issue I had was with Duke. Like, I get he wanted Rocky to fight because that was a big money-maker for him, but considering it looked like he was going to make just as much off of Tommy teamed up with Rocky to take on Union Cane. It seemed like they were trying way too hard to make Duke-- and by extension, Tommy-- the villain of the movie.
If this was its own movie, I would be much more forgiving of it, and probably even like it, and maybe that's why a lot of people like it. Being it's a Rocky movie though is ultimately why I was disappointed. And no, Rocky retiring wasn't a problem. It was understandable. Drago practically destroyed his brain. But let me put it this way: Creed IMO is what this movie should've been.
That all being said, this movie is Oscar-worthy compared to a lot of recent crap that has been coming out; especially from Disney.
@@nascarfanatic2425Hey please respect people like me. I love Disney!
@@jadenmuniz8817 Well most of my bad-mouthing of Disney is with their live-action remake phase they're going through. Most of their original stuff I definitely appreciate. I didn't mean that all Disney movies were bad.
And even if I did, that's not your problem. If you like Disney movies, that's perfectly fine. Opinions are opinions, and in countries like the United States, (my home country) the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech/Religion gives you a right to have any opinion you want about anything.
I thought Rocky 5 was fantastic as well, I don't know what they're talking about.
Rocky taught Tommy his final lesson: Street Fighting 101.
At 4:03 when we catch some quick visions of Mickey, then showing his eyes, like he's there watching it go down; I get goosebumps EVERY TIME, such a good moment!
Rocky would have died without his wife or kids present. If this was a private area then Tommy would have killed him. Rocky V’s original ending was to have Tommy kill Rocky.
@k you saying that rocky should have died?
The flashbacks with Mickey and Drago get me every time!
The same thing happened in creed (2015) whenever Adonis was knocked down and a flashback shown of Apollo made him get up and keep fighting!
Cause Mickey loves ya
Tommy Gunn's actor in this movie is Tommy Morrison, he was a real life boxer on his way up and he actually fucked his life up by sleeping with countless women contracting HIV. Had to retire, got addicted to drugs, went to prison for a bit, still addicted to drugs, got pec implants, died from AIDS almost ten years ago.
so much real life tragedy surrounded this film and came through in it, especially considering Sage as well (RIP). No wonder Stallone would rather pretend it doesn't exist, it's probably just too painful
He could make a comeback in Creed or rocky Balboa 2006 if he was alive.
@@ronadyfirdan4138 I wish he did.
That redhead did a number on him….
The crazy thing is he signed up with Don King. Life imitating art.
1:29 gives me chills every time I hear it.
Rocky wanted to fight him after what he did to Paulie.
I always feel bad for Sage Stallone. It is like he was never born, and Stallone fawns over his three daughters. Sage, you will never be forgotten. You were the hero in Rocky V.
I wonder whatever became of his OTHER son.
@@tgriffin3059 rocky had 2 sons??
@@-SPECTRE- Stallone had 2 sons. One died. The other was autistic, but so far as I know he's still alive.
That’s his first born. He def still thinks of him. But I get what you saying
@@-SPECTRE- Yes
"Get up, because Mickey loves ya." Sure, it's a corny line, but Burgess Meredith was such a fine actor, and because the audience was so invested in Rocky and Mickey's characters, that it pulled everyone in. Cliche or not, this was one badass scene, and the cinematography (where Rocky has his flashbacks--lightning cuts, blood running in an almost Expressionistic way) was exceptional. Combine that with the music...winning!
God when I was younger, I used to watch the rocky movies over and over again. And I still do
Same my dad died when I was like 8 and i used the movies like a father lol
All of Tommy’s managers random screams of rahhhhhhhhh during the fight are hilarious 😂😂😂 “fight back you bum fight back!!!”also the shaky zoom ins to his son 😂 so cheesy I love it
George Washington Duke

I think Duke achieved Super Saiyan when he saw Rocky pull Tommy's feet out from him at 5:29 "RRRRRRRAAAAAAH"! 😅
@@62202ify😂😂😂
Agree that it's funny
Can we not recognize how amazing tommy Morrison was as a real boxer
he was a bad mother fucker who didn't take his career as serious as he should have...
" I coulda be somebody Charlie.."
Great left hook but absolutely no chin whatsoever.
Sadly, booze and woman ruined most of his potential and HIV completely killed his career.
A good boxer in real life. He fought legends.
Tommy Gunn was good too. He just couldn't control his emotions.
Rocky will always be with us all. Rocky never quit and always took the shots. He was a street fighter that alway had the heart to win. And that’s the Rocky we love.
"Snap - Keep It Up" playing in the background is just 👌👌👌
When Rocky was knocked down, and lying in the street and hearing Micky's voice, he was actually feeling that he was about to be killed at the hands of Tommy, like Apollo was killed at the hands of Drago. He was about to give up, and accept that his time had come, and just slip into unconsciousness and die right there in Paulie's arms, but Mickey gave him the strength to survive and he found the courage to get up, and fight for his life!
Well originally rocky was supposed to due in Adrian's arms in this fight but the studio wants to change that
"I'm gonna put you through the street" Is one of the best antagonist lines from a rocky film, honestly/.
…as in, the street where you found me?…
4:29 Tommy is really screwed at this point, he awakened the Eye Of The Tiger version of Rocky, the same one that beat Clubber and Drago.
Rocky rolled the fucking pavement with Tommy. 🤣
@@castortroy7704 Yeah for sure. It's pretty bad when Tommy's Manager Duke told Tommy over and over that fighting Rocky in a street fight was a terrible idea and he wouldn't win lol.
And also the Hearts On Fire version as well
Rocky never wanted trouble, he only fought back since he attacked Paulie who he loves very much.
Also props to Paulie for defending Rocky!
@@rgkong8783Paulie was right to defend Rocky, Tommy was taken in by Rocky like a son, train him and made him a champ. Tommy was ungrateful, arrogant and angry.
Idgaf what ANYONE says about this film the “get up you son of a bitch” moment with the Rocky theme playing gives me chills every fuxking time!!!!
Something about the electricity and Mickey looking down just gives me chills, this movie was so much better than people give it credit for being
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
It’s so fucking hype
There will never, ever be a street fight scene that's as good as this in movies today!!

Summer of 2023 and I've been watching this fight since I was 11 years old in 2010
I hated Tommy Gunn worse than Ivan Drago. I was glad Rocky kicked his ass.
Tommy was only there for the money, he had no heart.
@@WaveForceful he did at first but the chump let it all go to his head
@@WaveForceful Hell even clubber was admirable for having heart🗿
The one thing people can all agree, whether they like or dislike Rocky 5, the street brawl is one of the best moments in the Rocky franchise. I have yet to find anyone who legit didn’t like this scene, at least without a proper reason.
True
Agreed. And this movie as a whole isn’t half bad. It’s just not as good as the others and there’s some legit silliness. I mean, i never felt Tommy was much of a threat to Rocky if Rocky had gone through with the legitimate fight. The guy beat Ivan freaking Drago for crying out loud! The satisfaction in this fight is not so much about him overcoming the odds, but more along the lines of a delivering a well deserved beat down.
@@abehambino yeah, this movie lost some slight credibility in the beginning because of the writing. No way Adrian allows them to fall into financial issues , even if that happened ,no way does rocky not get a sponsorship after beating Ivan lol overall I enjoyed the movie but the inconsistencies with the writing was a bit much compared to other Rocky films
@@williefaulker Sponsorship? Rocky was physically injured in the brain, no way some company would endorse someone with the onsets of Parkinson's.
@@D33Lux Ali fought around this time iirc and I believe that was sponsored
0:32 The realization on Tommy's face that he's being used.
I always said that Tommy realized it too late and he had to keep going no matter what 🤦
Yup. But pride and greed overrode common sense logic. Sadly. If only Tommy listened to Rocky.
@@castortroy7704yeah. Tommy was a lot like Rocky except for one thing. He didn’t have Rocky’s heart. He didn’t care about anyone else. Tommy only cared about himself and going to the top.
lot of people don’t like Rocky 5, but i do. it makes a change watching Rocky fight in a street fight. This is how Rocky live through the years fighting in the streets getting stronger it isn’t always about the ring so it’s cool to see a different fight.
I watch Rocky v so much it's My favorite
Hell yeah🥊 It's a great movie and doesn't deserve the hate

I remember when my parents went to the movies together to watch this while I was at my grandmother's house. I grew up watching Rocky 4 all the time as a kid and I asked them what they thought of Rocky 5 and they both said it was a good ending to the series. It must have really felt like the end
A couple of sequels came out after this.
@@hectorlopez1069I know durrrr
The best lines in this movie are
“My ring is outside”
“Get up you son of bitch because Mickey loves ya”
“I didn’t hear no bell”
“Sue me for what”
As criticizes this movie was I still enjoy it! It was the first time we actually seen Rocky fight outside of the Ring in the streets. Boxing is a unique skill that shines when it's protected in the ring. Fighting in the streets is something completely different and requires a completely different mindset.
Don't mess with a guy who was the muscle on the streets for a mobster and then the heavyweight champion of the world.
Firstly: Sly looks irresistible in this scene. Secondly: great end with Rocky fighting from where everything started (the street) which is a double message to read in the story. Everything goes back to the beginning, to the roots of the character. I love it. Fan of Rocky ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, I think the movie doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. Rocky 6 (Balboa) is by far the worse lol
@@SuperHitman55 I love it as well. It has one of the best quotes and we see how lonely Rocky is.
@@christelvial It loses the heart and soul that 1-5 has
Imagine the backlash a man would of copped if he called a woman irresistible
@@Matt-vr5zk Yeah there's absolutely some truth to that
I can watch the flashback of Mickey over and over, especially where he does that abrupt glance down. I guess Mickey knew Rocky was in trouble, and encouraged him to snap out of it.
When Rocky gets knocked down by Tommy, I always thought it was silly at first the flashbacks and stuff, but know watching it as an adult I like it. It’s just flashbacks from his fight with drago which clearly did or did the most of his brain damage and which fight he was probably most bothered by.
PTSD also. That whole thing with Drago traumatized him for life.
4:32 this scene always give me goosebumps.
Not only does this remind us of who Rocky used to be, but how much he’s grown and fought his way through another fighter.
Rocky embodies the spirit of man which is all about mission and purpose. Doing what needs to be done even though everyone fears for you and wishes you weren't doing it.
I want my respect! I always loved that line and Morrison delivered it perfectly
Absolutely agree
Come get it.
I love how Duke was Savvy enough to know Rocky was challenging Tommy on the street. He tried to steer it to the ring because of that.
The part when Rocky seas “I loved you man” is similar to Star Wars Episode 3 when Obiwan defeats Anakin on Mustifar.
I always saw Tommy Gunn as Anakin lol
Those take down trip up moves Stallone pulls off are so badass , Street fight moves. I remember watching this in the cinema. Still a class movie.
From the SOUL, I feel very badly about what happened to Sage. He was a great actor, and, I'm sure, a very nice person. He was definitely too young to pass away. I'm a fan.
“Cuz mickey loves ya” is the single most tear jerking moment in mens cinema…
Some people don't like the fifth movie....i honestly enjoyed all of the Rocky films including this one..perfect ending because it showed that Rocky is not always a sports film series 100%..its more than just that
The franchise ends here for me. I don't like Rocky 6 and the Creed films
What a boss, he doesn’t even flinch too fight him after that hit with Pauly 😂
When Rocky's in trouble, it's like Mickey see's what's going on from the afterlife. He's standing in a void, looks down, and speaks. The chills.
"You Knocked Him Down, Why Don't You Try Knocking Me Down Now!!"
"Yo Tommy, I Didn't Hear No Bell,One More Round!!"

great observation.. Apollo would have pummeled Tommy just because...
@@mikeking3507 Fr and if tommy fought prime apollo he would’ve been overwhelmed by apollo’s ability to throw hard fast combos. But he would’ve been proud of rocky here
Love that little side to side Stallone does right before the end of the fight. Almost as if Rocky is taking a few final cautious measures to make sure his opponent has no more tricks.
Classic rocky no matter what.
Can we just say, if Rocky did not have his brain INJURY and this was in actual ring, despite being like 43-44 here, The Italian Stalion would have destroyed this chump in the first round
Yes, absolutely
Even with it he was still able to destroy him..
If Tommy had faced a pre-Ivan Drago Rocky, Tommy would have only lasted eight or nine rounds.
@@gregbayda1032 I don't think so. If Tommy fought Rocky from the fourth film, he wouldn't last 4, let alone 8-9 rounds
@@SuperHitman55 I have Tommy lasting eight or nine rounds because I consider him to be somewhat better than the various contenders whom Rocky beat to defend his title between Rocky II and Rocky III and Rocky III and Rocky IV (a.k.a., fighters not up to the level of Apollo, Clubber, or Drago). I also have Rocky knocking out Clubber in the 11th round during their first fight if Rocky had simply trained for Clubber as hard as he did for Apollo and Drago.
Here’s what I love about Sly, dude makes massive blockbusters, and he also does straight to video. He just loves making stories.
Fun fact: The kid that Plays Rocky Jr. in this movie is Syvelster Stallone's real life son.
Contrary to critics and popular opinion......this film was AWESOME!!!! it has the real spirit and heart of Rocky! The climax is perfectttttt!!

Stallone and the whole rocky series. Even if he only did this movie and nothing more would still be one of my favs.
The bound between Rock and Pauly even after the stuff they’ve been through at the beginning. All Rocky really had, there in a heart beat to defend family
This is the best street fight in the history of cinema, period.
Hell yeah
Most convincing part of this whole sequence is Stallone's eyes whe he says "Now you knocked him down, why don't you try knockin' me down now", that's a glare no one wants to be on the receiving end of anywhere or anytime!
Rocky in his prime would rock him
The one from Rocky III and IV
He’d need Rocky 3 prime back tho
This Rocky old middle aged, brain damaged, untrained and far past his prime still mopped the floor with Tommy in a bare knuckle street fight despite Tommy gaining the upper hand in the first half of the fight only by sucker punching Rocky from behind after Rocky floored Tommy easily head on. Yes, Rocky in his prime would've obliterated Tommy Gunn in seconds fighting dirty regardless. Tommy was very strong, resilient and a very skilled, capable boxer and a fairly good, experienced street brawler from the streets of Oklahoma but easy work to a pro street fighter like Rocky or all of Rocky's past opponents. (Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed in his prime or long past his prime.)
@@castortroy7704 I didn’t know people could get that sad writing that of a response when I just said 7 words 😆

Honestly, this is the most supremely satisfying of all the fights in this series of movies.
Watched this in the pictures when it was released , the place was absolutely rocking when this fight was on . Kids nowadays will never understand how good the pictures were .
Hell yeah man, I agree. I remember when I went to see Rocky VS. Drago in cinema just a couple of years ago and the entire room was silent as they watched the final fight. It was nice. I scanned around the room and saw literally no one on their phones. I've seen Rocky IV soooooooooooo many times and I am willing to bet that it was someone's first time seeing it. They were really into it which makes me happy :)
