Absolutely BEAUTIFUL reaction. I can literally feel your emotions through my screen. FANTASTIC. I cry every single time Rocky wins Apollo. This is exactly how a sequel should be - Stallone absolutely nailed it.
Hello Tayanna, thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate it! Yes, this was the perfect sequel, indeed. Hope to see you for R3 next Saturday! Cheers! (:
Nothing gives me goosebumps more than when she pulls him closer and says "win!". I could conquer the world. This will sound cringe but I even watched this scene when I had a big job interview, i needed it.
Yeah, no, doesn't sound cringe whatsoever. This whole Rocky series is full of inspirational quotes, that have gotten many a person over a hump and out of a slump. That's why they are so beloved. I haven't watched all of Rocky 5 yet. Wasn't loving what I saw of it, but there's a bit of a back story to how Prime messed up the cue. They have all the series on Prime Cda right now and it was auto playing them, but leapt me from rewatching Rocky II, to suddenly Rocky 5 and I didn't know what hit me. It does have that super inspirational speech he gives his wayward and kind of ingrate son. Something roughly about how much life will beat you up, and it's all about how much you can take a beating and keep on going. Only Rocky of course says it so much better. To the point that, even though many find Rocky 5 one of the weakest links in the series, that scene is shown everywhere. All that to say, whatever gets you through buddy. And you're in huge and superb company that you can take that good advice and use it to keep on taking that beating and keep on going anyway.
That scene when she wakes up brings tears to my eyes because when I lost my mom to cancer I saw her on the bed lifeless so it hits very hard. I’ve only seen two reactions from y’all and already you guys are one of my favorites. Keep it up 💪🏽
Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, I can imagine that the hospital scene must bring back quite a few of your memories. The "win" line was fantastic too! (:
@@THEPATRIOT1000 It goes downhill from there. Sly even admitted that he was reluctant to make Rocky 4 and hated that he did R5, but he had already signed an agreement with the "guys wearing ties" so he did it.
You're one of the only men on this platform whose willing to show their emotions without getting overly aggressive or trying to be "dominant." You're both fantastic role models and I'm beyond thrilled i stumbled upon this channel ❤❤
My father used to box, and this movie was the only time I saw him cry. Others may disagree, but I think Rocky 2 was even better than the original, which I loved too. Great reaction guys once again.
@@JakeLegear Yeah, it can be a close call. They are kind of a package deal. Reminds me a bit of a very different kind of movie, but also hugely iconic and popular. Quentin Taranto's, Kill Bill. W/ that one though, many say the sequel was even better than the first. Which is of course no mean feat, and pretty rare. Quentin always says though, it was never really a sequel for him. He just knew the story was far too long to put into one movie, so he packaged it as a sequel. I don't think that was the case w/ Rocky, but maybe I'm wrong on that?
You two are special. Thank you for allowing us to join you on this journey. Mr. Boss, I’m crying right along with you. Adrian’s “Win.” is one of the most emotional moments in cinema history. They are a special couple, and so are you two!
Aw, that's such a nice thing to say, Valjean, thank you so much!! It makes us happy that we can share our journey with you. YES, the "win" moment is soul-crushing, in a good way! ((:
Incredible movie. Still chokes me up every time I see it. It is definitely up there with the greatest sequel films ever, with Empire Strikes Back, Return of the King, Terminator 2, Godfather 2, Avengers Endgame. Rocky III is great too!
Rocky signifies, even when life can be tough, down on your luck, through hard work, grit, hope and belief, you can succeed.. Rock crying proves, the sacrifices he done from an average joe to top of the world
only reactor who cries at the right moments.man you cry like a retired hollywood star who is having a honorary oscar with a standing ovation.respect that.
Stallone was such an underrated actor throughout the bulk of his career. He wasn’t afraid to show his emotions on camera. With more and more people discovering his work in the Rocky franchise, he’s gaining new appreciation for his talents as an actor, writer, and director.
Hello again from the Austrian Alps. I think part 2 is equally as good as part 1 ... similar to the Godfather, both movies actually feel to me like being one big film. So much emotion.
I've loved the Rocky movies since I was a kid. But, by around minute 13 of the reaction (commercials starting) I don't think I've ever seen so many laughs at a Rocky movie. How refreshing. You guys are SO fun. Keep going!
Quite the foreshadowing of a harbinger of what was to come w/ the internet and socialism media. Stallone was often enough ahead of his time. Such a sneak attack. Seems slow, but sharp as a tack that man, and so multi talented, yet untrained for all of it. Haven't checked out his paintings, yet, but that "bum from the neighbourhood" darn well paints too. God sure heaped the talents on him, and no one can accuse him of hiding it under a bushel.
You're so right, Rocky is a regular guy, just like his creator Sylvester Stallone.. Every time he comes to Philly he's greeted with calls of "Yo Rocky" from young and old and he always responds in kind. He never misses a chance to visit those famous steps and thrill those lucky enough to be there with a smile and pose for countless photos.. The Rocky Statue near those steps is Philadelphia's second-most visited tourist attraction, after the Liberty Bell receiving over 4 million visitors a year.. He's the real deal!! Loved your reaction! : )
Hi Kate, thank you so much for sharing the Stallone story. It's great to hear. As far as I know, Stallone is a solid guy, one of the few people in Hollywood that I can truly respect! See ya for R3. (:
Rocky 2 is so great because of how the first one ended. 1and2 stand alone, the rest of them only really work because we are already invested in Rocky from the first two movies. You love the rest of the Rocky series because you love Rocky, but the first two are great movies, period.
Skip 4?! Are you insane? LOL! Sure it's cheesy but it's damn entertaining and gives us the greatest training montage of all time and an amazing fight at the end. It's a lot of people's favorite of the series. Also, Rocky 4 ended the Cold War in real life. 😉 Even though Rocky 5 is the weakest of the franchise it's still worth watching and has some great moments.
I saw both of these films in the theater as new releases, and, as you can probably imagine, the entire audience was reacting just as you two were at the end of both. It was a very special time in the history of cinema, and for the movie going public. I couldn't possibly choose one over the other. Amazing reaction B.M.R.!
The fact that you understand film makes your reaction one of the best I've seen. You observe everything in the movie and limit your comments and conversation out of respect for the film and it's viewers. I look forward to watching all of your reactions. BRAVO to BOSS MOVIE REACTIONS!!
I’m 61 years old and I subscribed because of your emotional reaction. In my family of six, two girls and four boys of a marine I have felt nothing but shame for being an emotional person. I would have a tear escape my eyes in a movie or event affecting our family and my older brother would always remind us that Paul is just emotional. Now I am proud to tear up because I realize all this means is I’m feeling what is going on in this human experience more than the hard hearted numb members of my generation.
Hello Paul, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. That is very POWERFUL. Thank you!! Also, thanks for subscribing, and most of all, thanks for your service!!! (:
Rocky is not about boxing, is about overcome troubles and challenges. But at the end Rocky is a love story between Rocky and Adrian, how they complete each other. Great reaction guys.
Powerful nostalgia comes to my heart, mind, tears......I am a Stallone fan since I saw Rocky 2. Great reaction, I am glad to find Stallone fans around the world! Keep on punching with those reaction Bosses!
Love the reaction, thank you! This was the first Rocky movie I saw in the theater. Place was jam-packed and being before the days of the Internet and without spoilers, none of us knew anything about it, especially the incredible ending. It was a surreal experience -- all of us in the sold-out theater were standing and screaming during the fight, just like we were at the bout in person. At the end of Rocky's post fight speech, everyone cheered, clapped and, yes, cried. Oh, for those days again... P.S. Apollo -- actually my favorite character in the entire series -- while the antagonist in these first two films, was never the villain. While Rocky was his opponent, by this time in his storied career, his fight was against his inner self. He had the rematch won, easily, but it was more important to him to finish it his way. Those familiar with this best-ever series of films know this remains the case with Apollo going forward... RIP, Carl Weathers. You were spectacular (in. Predator, as well).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, very interesting. Your experience at the theater must have been incredible. And I agree with what you've said about Apollo. Good stuff! R3 is coming! (:
The “yo Adrienne… I did it!!” at the end is my favorite part of this classic and awesome movie. Gets me the goosebumps every single time. 👍. Love this movie
LOVED this reaction. The emotion of it really came through as you watched. Saw this in the theater and always felt that Rocky had to win this fight this way because his whole character arc is about his getting knocked down by life and getting up, over and over again (his heart, as you said), IMO this is the BEST of the Rocky movies (even though the first movie was great) because it's about his character and the love story. The boxing is just a vehicle for telling that story.
We're happy to hear that you liked our reaction. Yes, this was a powerful movie. I think R2's payoff is so amazing because of R1. I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
In the running scene, it's great to note a point that kids in 70s were able to run miles and stairs and now we have kids who get gassed out in 10 steps
You two are just adorable. I love your reactions and both your personalities. Always happy to see one of your new reactions being published. Bless you both
I went to see every Rocky movie in the theatre when they came out. Rocky 1 sets the scene and Rocky 2 takes it to the next level. Both great in their own right. I haven’t seen these in many years, so I’m on to the rest of your Rocky posts to refresh my memory. Great reaction. ❤BMR - #1
I cry everytime!!! They get better and better 😊 Fun fact...At every home Eagles game, they show Adrian saying WIN and the montage along with Eagle's players to hype us up. I get so emotional then, too. Lol Can't wait to watch your reaction to Rocky 3!! Y'all gonna LOVE it!! 🥊🥊💚
After creating high expectations in Rocky 1, Rocky II exceeds expectations. That's why this is the perfect movie watch along with you guys. It's always fun watching with you but you still manage to exceed expectations. And to answer the question of which one I like better... The one I like best is the one I'm watching at that moment. Personally, I can't separate the two movies. I care about the characters just the same and I'm just along for the ride, hanging on moment to moment. These are the perfect one-two punch.
Ahh you two are fast becoming my favourite reactors on RUclips. Love how you both get so emersed in the movie. Can’t wait for you to watch Rocky III and IV.
awesome reaction! - great reaction... your editing on this reaction video is perfect too! - ROCKY 2 is my favorite of all the Rockys -- this was the best one. yep!
@@BossMovieReactions Going forward, when you get to Rocky Balboa, I expect it to touch you almost as much as it did me based on how you are affected so far. My wife said, "Real men aren't afraid to show emotion. I hope his wife appreciates that like I do you." Never a better compliment about a reaction channel ever from her. You guys are now #1 on our reaction channels list.
@@windsorkid7069 Haha, that's AWESOME!!! Thank you. We're honored to be your #1, and we'll do our best to keep it. Yes, I think my wife does appreciate it, especially since we're in the entertainment field, so without having access to your emotions, no good stuff can be produced. Anyway, thank you and your wife, and have a great week! (:
Great job guys, look forward to seeing more of your Rocky reactions. 1 and 2 were both so good it's hard to say which one was better. Looking forward to your Rocky 3 reaction.
Heres the thing about the Rocky movies and Stallone in particular that not many other movies can replicate, Goosebump moments. They can make manliest of men break down every time. In terms of which is better 1 or 2, there is no way i can compare them they're like my children and could never pick one over the other. After you guys finish the Rocky series you have to watch one of my favorite Stallone movies Over The Top, you will get a the same feels watching that as you do Rocky its what Stallone's best at making you feel something.
Yeah, goosebump moments! indeed! I think I remember seeing a trailer for "Over the Top." It was about arm wrestling or something. I put it on our list! Thx! (:
These movies starting by showing the end of the previous movie is brilliant. Back then a lot of people didn’t have access to home copies of the movie and there were years between releases. Many people seeing Rocky II when it was released hadn't seen the first since it was released.
I was so looking forward to this after watching your ROCKY reaction, and just like ROCKY II, you guys delivered another great one ! Pumped for ROCKY III next .. Let’s Goooooo !
When I watch reaction to Rocky videos…Look for the incredible emotional and inspiring Win-and training montage scene…and appreciate the true and genuine emotions you showed watching that scene…the going the distance instrumental music is truly the Rocky theme…It really goes to a person’s inspirational soul… appreciated your vulnerable reaction…. so many reactions really don’t convey that
This one was my mom's favorite movies. She had cancer and it was too late for her. Now I tell my Grandchildren how special she was while we watch the Rocky series.
Heard that people who saw this in theaters were literally screaming at the screen when rocky and Apollo were trying to get up and when rocky won people lost it like it was a real fight, would have loved to have had that experience
Same during Rocky 4..people were literally cheering and yelling Similarly , people gave a standing applause at the end of Rambo 2 when the song "Peace in our lives" plays Movies used to touch our souls back in the day!
Yes. I was 11 yrs old. The crowd in the theater erupted with applause when he got up and when the last scene embrace with Mickey went to credits the ENTIRE theater gave a standing ovation like you'd see at a live play. It was incredible!
I could never put any of the sequels above Rocky 1. For 1 was to life changing for me. Yes, 2 and 3 helped to inspire me in life, but it’s all built on the foundation of Rocky 1. This is all described in my autobiography, Victory over Anger. Great job once again, and we will see you for 3. ❤
Mickey really shines through in this one, wow i did not remember how powerful his scenes were. Of course we all thinking of the chapel scene and I would agree, but also the analyzing scene when he's suggesting that Rocky fights with his right hand and the film is projected right on him... pretty slick. Hes very physical too in the way he conveys emotions.
@@BossMovieReactions Looking forward to it. I've been re-visting the Rocky and Rambo's. Must get around to other key ones I missed, because he's just freaking brilliant at scripts and the whole shebang. Not sure if you know of Copland yet? It somehow fell under the radar, and got no where the praise and awards it deserved. All star cast of absolute powerhouse actors: De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and several others. Nothing showed Stallone's exceptional acting chops quite like that movie. It's not that the Rocky and Rambo's didn't. But they largely had him w/ either unknowns, or out to pasture actors, that those roles helped bring back. W/ Copland, he went toe to toe w/ the absolute best, like De Niro, Keitel and Liotta and not only held his own, but many say he even outshone them. Rewatched it recently. Gonna do it again soon. The ending esp. was burned into my brain, the part where he's deafened but still staggering around, and they so affectingly kept shutting out all volume and soundtrack, just slamming it home what he was going through. but it had been long enough that most of the rest had not, esp. the all star cast, I'd totally forgotten about. I'm sure you and your wife will be as blown away when you can find the time.
I love your true reactions to the movies, Mike is a man after my own heart I get very emotional watching movies. Jessica congratulations on your award keep the great movie reviews coming. I can't wait for you to do Rocky 3 & 4 Martin from Wigan UK
Every weekend from the time I was 9 years old till about 13 I would walk to the tiny vcr tape rental place in our small town and rent Rocky II. Drove my sisters crazy! Still one of my favorites and I'm pushing 50.
Thank you, Rolando!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching, thanks for subscribing, thanks for the kiss, and thanks for the 24 hearts! Greetings back to Argentina! (:
A couple of fun facts: In the scene where Rocky is struggling to spar with the smaller faster fighter, the smaller fighter is actually boxing legend "Hands of Stone" Roberto Duran. Who was a multi time world champion, and considered one of the best fighters of all time. If Rocky had run from his house, past all those landmarks, and ended his run at the art museum. The run would have been around 30 miles.
Stallone is totally underrated. It's so nice to watch this and not be the only tearing up. Even though Rocky IV has a special place in my heart as the first Rocky I watched (I was too young for the others), I really do think that part II is slightly better than the original. There's so much more on the line (Rocky's eye, his livelihood, Adrian's condition, the newborn) that it's impossible to ignore.
One thing I did notice tho was when Rocky was supposed to use his right hand to learn to fight again to trick Apollo but in the scene he has his right arm tied down and still using his left to bunch the bag I think that was an error
@@Jon-o1q7z Good observation, but I don't think that was an error. If you are right-handed, you jab with your left hand, and if you are left-handed, you jab with your right hand. So, since Rocky is left-handed (meaning he naturally jabs with his right), I think it makes sense for him to tie down his "punching power arm" and learn to jab more strongly with his left (and that's what they did in the movie). LOL. A bit confusing, I know, but I think that's how it works. (:
Oh wow ok thank you for that insight man I honestly didn’t realize that! I don’t know too much about fighting to tell you the truth 😅 it does seem a bit confusing at first yes
16:52 SLY has said that that out of all the characters, rocky is the closet to him. HOWEVER, he has also said that he could really embrace his humor in the movie TANGO AND CASH. The banter between him and Kurt Russel is hilarious. Even an interview. And you can tell that Sylvester Stallone genuinely likes Kurt Russell, and they have a great off screen presence. So he has mentioned that Tango And Cash is the closest to his personality and humor. Source: the Arsenio Hall show.
You mentioned what a great actor the guy who plays Mickey is. Burgess Meredith had a glorious career before Rocky, most famously as The Penguin in the old Batman TV series.
My friend and i just watched this again and he brought up that Apollo was the champ but was the underdog. Before the fight Apollo listening to the crowd cheering rocky. This kept fueling Apollo. Most champions want to fight in their city of choice. Apollo manager knew if there was no knockout early its trouble. Even before the last round he told apollo to stay away from him. Can watch the last round forever and still feel the drama of it.
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I felt the drama you've mentioned so much during editing, you know, going blow by blow!! Good stuff!! (:

I agree...I watch many reactors and yall make intelligent comments and laugh and cry at the right moments....kudos keep up the good work
THANK YOU!! (:
Oh, wow, thank you so much for your encouraging words. It means a lot to us! Smells like a possible shoutout! (:
@@BossMovieReactions LOL,,,Thank You,,,,,,,,,,,,,both "Braveheart" and "Dances With Wolves" are beautiful pictures.
@@stangsswang8355 Yes, I just checked, and both movies are on our list! Thx! (:
I’m 61 years old and I subscribed because of your emotional reaction. In my family of six, two girls and four boys of a marine I have felt nothing but shame for being an emotional person. I would have a tear escape my eyes in a movie or event affecting our family and my older brother would always remind us that Paul is just emotional. Now I am proud to tear up because I realize all this means is I’m feeling what is going on in this human experience more than the hard hearted numb members of my generation.
Hello Paul, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. That is very POWERFUL. Thank you!! Also, thanks for subscribing, and most of all, thanks for your service!!! (:
Rocky is not about boxing, is about overcome troubles and challenges. But at the end Rocky is a love story between Rocky and Adrian, how they complete each other. Great reaction guys.
Yes, I agree with you 100%. Thanks for watching! (:
Nothing but love to the two of you! :) I just love your videos and chemistry!
Aw, thank you so much!! Stuff like that makes our day! ((:
Powerful nostalgia comes to my heart, mind, tears......I am a Stallone fan since I saw Rocky 2. Great reaction, I am glad to find Stallone fans around the world! Keep on punching with those reaction Bosses!
Thank you, Ervin! Off to R3 for you! (:
"When he says I have to be around it" it breaks my heart as well. Mick(the old trainer) is one of my two or three favorite characters of all time
Yeah, it's indeed a heartbreaking moment... And yes, Mickey really is a great character with brutal honesty. Thanks for watching, and God bless! (:
Love the reaction, thank you! This was the first Rocky movie I saw in the theater. Place was jam-packed and being before the days of the Internet and without spoilers, none of us knew anything about it, especially the incredible ending. It was a surreal experience -- all of us in the sold-out theater were standing and screaming during the fight, just like we were at the bout in person. At the end of Rocky's post fight speech, everyone cheered, clapped and, yes, cried. Oh, for those days again...
P.S. Apollo -- actually my favorite character in the entire series -- while the antagonist in these first two films, was never the villain. While Rocky was his opponent, by this time in his storied career, his fight was against his inner self. He had the rematch won, easily, but it was more important to him to finish it his way. Those familiar with this best-ever series of films know this remains the case with Apollo going forward... RIP, Carl Weathers. You were spectacular (in. Predator, as well).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, very interesting. Your experience at the theater must have been incredible. And I agree with what you've said about Apollo. Good stuff! R3 is coming! (:
The “yo Adrienne… I did it!!” at the end is my favorite part of this classic and awesome movie. Gets me the goosebumps every single time. 👍. Love this movie
Yeah, that line is awesome and was filled with so much emotion! (:
LOVED this reaction. The emotion of it really came through as you watched. Saw this in the theater and always felt that Rocky had to win this fight this way because his whole character arc is about his getting knocked down by life and getting up, over and over again (his heart, as you said), IMO this is the BEST of the Rocky movies (even though the first movie was great) because it's about his character and the love story. The boxing is just a vehicle for telling that story.
We're happy to hear that you liked our reaction. Yes, this was a powerful movie. I think R2's payoff is so amazing because of R1. I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
In the running scene, it's great to note a point that kids in 70s were able to run miles and stairs and now we have kids who get gassed out in 10 steps
Hi Mike, haha, yeah, that's probably true! (:
You two are just adorable. I love your reactions and both your personalities. Always happy to see one of your new reactions being published. Bless you both
Aw, thank you so much!! That is very kind of you to say! "See" you soon! (:
Burgess Merideth, Mickey, was The Penguin in The Batman TV show.
Oh, I didn't know. Thx, Patriot! (:
I went to see every Rocky movie in the theatre when they came out. Rocky 1 sets the scene and Rocky 2 takes it to the next level. Both great in their own right. I haven’t seen these in many years, so I’m on to the rest of your Rocky posts to refresh my memory. Great reaction. ❤BMR - #1
THANK YOU!! Happy to see you're catching up! (:
I cry everytime!!! They get better and better 😊
Fun fact...At every home Eagles game, they show Adrian saying WIN and the montage along with Eagle's players to hype us up. I get so emotional then, too. Lol Can't wait to watch your reaction to Rocky 3!! Y'all gonna LOVE it!! 🥊🥊💚
Oh, really, that's so cool that they do that for the Eagles game. Yeah, I'm currently editing R3. Stay tuned! (:
After creating high expectations in Rocky 1, Rocky II exceeds expectations. That's why this is the perfect movie watch along with you guys. It's always fun watching with you but you still manage to exceed expectations.
And to answer the question of which one I like better... The one I like best is the one I'm watching at that moment. Personally, I can't separate the two movies. I care about the characters just the same and I'm just along for the ride, hanging on moment to moment. These are the perfect one-two punch.
Thanks for that, Philip, I hope we "see" you for R3!! (:
Rocky always looks to Adrienne for truth and support and knows he will get it from her..that is what makes the relationship beautiful.
Yes, I love watching this relationship as well. (:
Ahh you two are fast becoming my favourite reactors on RUclips. Love how you both get so emersed in the movie. Can’t wait for you to watch Rocky III and IV.
Ahh, THANK YOU!! Yes, I'm currently editing R3. Stay tuned!
One of the best series ever. No doubt in my mind. Thank you both for sharing your journey through it and allowing us to take it with you.
Yes, I haven't seen all of them yet, but I can see the "Best Series" already. Editing R3 now. Cheers! (:
I wish I saw this movie in the theater when it came out! Man, the tension when Rocky and Apollo are both down...
I saw it in the theater when I was 10. People were standing and cheering and crying and the ROCKY chant was happening near the end of the fight.
Yes, almost unimaginable! (:
awesome reaction! - great reaction... your editing on this reaction video is perfect too! -
ROCKY 2 is my favorite of all the Rockys -- this was the best one. yep!
THANK YOU!! We appreciate it! (:
Great reaction, Thank you.
Our pleasure! Good to see you here, LB. (:
As many times as I've seen this, it always makes me tear up. You two are officially in the Rocky family now. Yo! You did it!
Haha, yo, we did it!! Greetings to your partner. R3 is in the making! (:
@@BossMovieReactions Going forward, when you get to Rocky Balboa, I expect it to touch you almost as much as it did me based on how you are affected so far. My wife said, "Real men aren't afraid to show emotion. I hope his wife appreciates that like I do you." Never a better compliment about a reaction channel ever from her. You guys are now #1 on our reaction channels list.
@@windsorkid7069 Haha, that's AWESOME!!! Thank you. We're honored to be your #1, and we'll do our best to keep it. Yes, I think my wife does appreciate it, especially since we're in the entertainment field, so without having access to your emotions, no good stuff can be produced. Anyway, thank you and your wife, and have a great week! (:
Great job guys, look forward to seeing more of your Rocky reactions. 1 and 2 were both so good it's hard to say which one was better. Looking forward to your Rocky 3 reaction.
Hi Paul, yeah, maybe R2 was even better because of R1. R3 is coming! (:
Heres the thing about the Rocky movies and Stallone in particular that not many other movies can replicate, Goosebump moments. They can make manliest of men break down every time. In terms of which is better 1 or 2, there is no way i can compare them they're like my children and could never pick one over the other. After you guys finish the Rocky series you have to watch one of my favorite Stallone movies Over The Top, you will get a the same feels watching that as you do Rocky its what Stallone's best at making you feel something.
Yeah, goosebump moments! indeed! I think I remember seeing a trailer for "Over the Top." It was about arm wrestling or something. I put it on our list! Thx! (:
@@BossMovieReactions Yes Arm Wrestling, you will love it
I think it's great that a younger generation is so turned on to Rocky! Great reaction! I felt that way to when i saw it in the theater in 1979.
Hi David, yeah, Rocky rocks big time!! I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
Probably the best love story with amazing fighting ever made! I love how emotional Mr. Boss movie was, I felt every bit of it too!
Hi Carolyn, yeah, it's an amazing love story with a great boxing backdrop. Thanks for watching and feeling with us! (:
The intro with the two ambulances racing to the hospital with both fighters always gave me chills. o.O
Yeah, intense stuff! Thanks for watching! (:
These movies starting by showing the end of the previous movie is brilliant.
Back then a lot of people didn’t have access to home copies of the movie and there were years between releases. Many people seeing Rocky II when it was released hadn't seen the first since it was released.
Yes, that was brilliant indeed. I talk about it in my "Afterthoughts" video. R3 is coming! (:
I was so looking forward to this after watching your ROCKY reaction, and just like ROCKY II, you guys delivered another great one ! Pumped for ROCKY III next .. Let’s Goooooo !
Yeah, let's gooooo. I'm currently editing R3. (:
When I watch reaction to Rocky videos…Look for the incredible emotional and inspiring Win-and training montage scene…and appreciate the true and genuine emotions you showed watching that scene…the going the distance instrumental music is truly the Rocky theme…It really goes to a person’s inspirational soul… appreciated your vulnerable reaction…. so many reactions really don’t convey that
We're very happy to hear that! Thank you, Kevin, we appreciate your encouraging words! (:
This one was my mom's favorite movies. She had cancer and it was too late for her. Now I tell my Grandchildren how special she was while we watch the Rocky series.
Aw, that is very heartwarming! (:
Heard that people who saw this in theaters were literally screaming at the screen when rocky and Apollo were trying to get up and when rocky won people lost it like it was a real fight, would have loved to have had that experience
Yes, several people have recounted that experience! Sounds awesome!! (:
Same during Rocky 4..people were literally cheering and yelling
Similarly , people gave a standing applause at the end of Rambo 2 when the song "Peace in our lives" plays
Movies used to touch our souls back in the day!
Yes. I was 11 yrs old. The crowd in the theater erupted with applause when he got up and when the last scene embrace with Mickey went to credits the ENTIRE theater gave a standing ovation like you'd see at a live play. It was incredible!
@@HC-iu1vs No modern movie can do that
I could never put any of the sequels above Rocky 1. For 1 was to life changing for me. Yes, 2 and 3 helped to inspire me in life, but it’s all built on the foundation of Rocky 1. This is all described in my autobiography, Victory over Anger. Great job once again, and we will see you for 3. ❤
Victory over Anger sounds great! Yes, R1 is the foundation, and that's why R2 was so good! Yep, see ya for R3. (:
Bruh I f*cking love his reaction to “I need you to do one thing for me… Win” I thought only I reacted that way, dude much respect!
Aw, that's great that we can share such a powerful moment! Thanks for sharing! (:
My kids and I saw Rocky 2 at a movie theater. It was the first and last time I witnessed an audience stand and cheer at the end
Yeah, this must have been an incredible experience! Thanks for sharing! (:
Mickey really shines through in this one, wow i did not remember how powerful his scenes were. Of course we all thinking of the chapel scene and I would agree, but also the analyzing scene when he's suggesting that Rocky fights with his right hand and the film is projected right on him... pretty slick. Hes very physical too in the way he conveys emotions.
Yes, Mickey shines! I had the same thought about the projector image on his face, etc. Good stuff! (:
Hurry n watch rocky 3, pls hurry I don't wanna wait!)
Haha, yeah, we already watched it, I'm currently editing R3. So, stay tuned! (:
@@BossMovieReactions Looking forward to it. I've been re-visting the Rocky and Rambo's. Must get around to other key ones I missed, because he's just freaking brilliant at scripts and the whole shebang. Not sure if you know of Copland yet? It somehow fell under the radar, and got no where the praise and awards it deserved. All star cast of absolute powerhouse actors: De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta and several others. Nothing showed Stallone's exceptional acting chops quite like that movie. It's not that the Rocky and Rambo's didn't. But they largely had him w/ either unknowns, or out to pasture actors, that those roles helped bring back. W/ Copland, he went toe to toe w/ the absolute best, like De Niro, Keitel and Liotta and not only held his own, but many say he even outshone them. Rewatched it recently. Gonna do it again soon. The ending esp. was burned into my brain, the part where he's deafened but still staggering around, and they so affectingly kept shutting out all volume and soundtrack, just slamming it home what he was going through. but it had been long enough that most of the rest had not, esp. the all star cast, I'd totally forgotten about. I'm sure you and your wife will be as blown away when you can find the time.
@@mycattitude Thanks for that, Cattitude, we appreciate it. Someone else mentioned Copland, so it's already on our list! Thx! (:
this was the best reaction I have ever seen! Thanks, you both for a great time!
Aw, thank you so much, Kenny, we appreciate it! I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
I love your true reactions to the movies, Mike is a man after my own heart I get very emotional watching movies. Jessica congratulations on your award keep the great movie reviews coming. I can't wait for you to do Rocky 3 & 4 Martin from Wigan UK
Thank you, Martin, we appreciate your kind words. Greetings to the UK. R3 is coming! (:
Two is the best for me. I can't count how many times I have watched it, and 1. I still cry at all the same spots.
Yeah, what I've seen so far really blew me away. Great stuff! (:
Yo just discovered this channel. Probably the best reaction channel I ever saw. Love you guys man!
Hello Blumis, we're happy you found us. Welcome! And thanks for your kind words! (:
Every weekend from the time I was 9 years old till about 13 I would walk to the tiny vcr tape rental place in our small town and rent Rocky II. Drove my sisters crazy! Still one of my favorites and I'm pushing 50.
That's awesome! Does your sister at least understand why? (:
Tanks For You Reaction , One Kiss For You , From Buenos Aires Argentina ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Pdt And Suscript Yeahhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Rolando!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching, thanks for subscribing, thanks for the kiss, and thanks for the 24 hearts! Greetings back to Argentina! (:
OUSTANDING REACTION, TO AN OUTSTANDING FILM! I absolutely love the heartfelt reactions you both exuded!
THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE IT! (:
Mike's lump in the throat was really working overtime during this reaction! 🥰 Mine too. 😭
🤣👍
A couple of fun facts: In the scene where Rocky is struggling to spar with the smaller faster fighter, the smaller fighter is actually boxing legend "Hands of Stone" Roberto Duran. Who was a multi time world champion, and considered one of the best fighters of all time.
If Rocky had run from his house, past all those landmarks, and ended his run at the art museum. The run would have been around 30 miles.
@8:25 thats Stallone brother singing.
Thanks for the trivia. Always enjoy it! Thx! (:
I love how much you guys loved this! I can't wait to watch 3 and 4 with you omg
YEEES, absolutely loved it. I'm currently editing R3. (:
@@BossMovieReactions yes!! Please take no breaks, no sleep, I need it now! 😅😅
@@SJHD Haha, yeah, that's pretty much how it already is. If I didn't have to answer so many comments, I would be back at editing R3 already. ((:
Everyone adults are allowed to fell tears to this movie. Its timeless❤ RIP Carl "Apollo" Weathers.❤
That's good to hear, Joel! Thanks! Cute kitty, btw!! (:
Now guys get ready for Rocky 3!!!!!
Yep, I'm currently editing R3. (:
Last three words spoken in Rocky I and Rocky Ii are " I Love You !" ❤
Yes, I noticed during editing! (:
Now watch Rocky 3 and you'll fall in love with Apollo!
YES, I just uploaded it a few hours ago. We'll release it on Saturday! (:
Imagine being at the drive in movie for this at 10 years old with no spoilers from the internet. I can't replace that feeling.
Oh, yeah, that must have been incredible!! (:
What a great reaction! I love watching movies with you two! Made my day. Standing by for Rocky 3!!
Awesome! Thanks for that! Yep, R3 is coming! (:
Rocky 2 was always my fav. It's the most emotional and the fight is the best of the series and the music score is epic during the fight
Yeah, R2 was fantastic. And I think one of the reasons is because of R1. Yes, the fight, the score, the storytelling, all brilliant! (:
Mickey called it .."yeah well tonight's our night kid".... Before the night even begin
Yeah, Mickey is badass!! (:
My favorite scene is when Adrian says "there's one thing I want you to do for me, win win" ❤️❤️👍👍✌️✌️🇨🇦
Yep, 100%. AWESOME!! (:
Stallone is totally underrated. It's so nice to watch this and not be the only tearing up. Even though Rocky IV has a special place in my heart as the first Rocky I watched (I was too young for the others), I really do think that part II is slightly better than the original. There's so much more on the line (Rocky's eye, his livelihood, Adrian's condition, the newborn) that it's impossible to ignore.
Yeah, as you know, we were blown away by 1&2. R3 is coming! (:
Yeah you guys put up another movie reaction I hope you do all of the Rockies hope you're both are having a wonderful weekend 👍👍🥰
Yes, we'll do ALL of the Rocky movies. I'm currently editing R3. Have a great weekend as well, and stay tuned! (:
Thank you both for sharing!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! (:
Love the videos Mike hope you and Jessica are doing well. Rocky is such a pure and very simplistic likable character
Hi Jonathan, yes, Rocky the character is brilliant! R3 is coming! (:
One thing I did notice tho was when Rocky was supposed to use his right hand to learn to fight again to trick Apollo but in the scene he has his right arm tied down and still using his left to bunch the bag I think that was an error
@@Jon-o1q7z Good observation, but I don't think that was an error. If you are right-handed, you jab with your left hand, and if you are left-handed, you jab with your right hand. So, since Rocky is left-handed (meaning he naturally jabs with his right), I think it makes sense for him to tie down his "punching power arm" and learn to jab more strongly with his left (and that's what they did in the movie). LOL. A bit confusing, I know, but I think that's how it works. (:
Oh wow ok thank you for that insight man I honestly didn’t realize that! I don’t know too much about fighting to tell you the truth 😅 it does seem a bit confusing at first yes
@@Jon-o1q7z Yeah, in other words, you use the jab to prepare to land one with your STRONG hand. (:
I just started watching your reactions and I must say I love them keep up the great work
Aw, thank you so much, Tom. Currently editing R3. (:
Great job, again, folks. Looking forward to Rocky 3. Thank you, both.
Thanks, Matt. I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
16:52 SLY has said that that out of all the characters, rocky is the closet to him. HOWEVER, he has also said that he could really embrace his humor in the movie TANGO AND CASH. The banter between him and Kurt Russel is hilarious. Even an interview. And you can tell that Sylvester Stallone genuinely likes Kurt Russell, and they have a great off screen presence. So he has mentioned that Tango And Cash is the closest to his personality and humor. Source: the Arsenio Hall show.
Hi Jose, thanks for sharing these insights. Very interesting. That's pretty much what I've expected to hear about Stallone. Good stuff! (:
You mentioned what a great actor the guy who plays Mickey is. Burgess Meredith had a glorious career before Rocky, most famously as The Penguin in the old Batman TV series.
Yeah, I like to see more of him... Someone mentioned "Grumpy Old Men" or something. I think that's on our list now. (:
I've been watching these films all my life they are by far the best films ever ❤can't wait for the 3rd Rocky love your videos too 👍
Thank you, Sam!! I'm currently editing R3, so stay tuned! (:
56:59 again Jessica has an awesome reaction I like watching you guys react.
YES, I just watched it, I started tearing up seeing her jump. Thanks for watching! (:
I loved you reaction to this movie so excited for you to watch Rocky 3. Rocky 3 is my favorite 💕 & I can' t wait for you to watch 👍
That's great! I'm currently editing R3. I'm about halfway, so another 2-3 days until I'm done. Stay tuned! (:
Way to go guys! Im so glad that you watched the rocky balboa part 2. Jessica looks so gorgeous and Mike look so handsome. love you lot❤
Aw, thanks for the compliments, you're too kind. Stay tuned for R3. (:
I will
@@BastyDYmas 👍👍
Another great reaction, I love you two, Keep"em coming
Thank you so much, Man in the Hat! R3 is coming! ((:
@@BossMovieReactions Can hardly wait!
My friend and i just watched this again and he brought up that Apollo was the champ but was the underdog. Before the fight Apollo listening to the crowd cheering rocky. This kept fueling Apollo. Most champions want to fight in their city of choice. Apollo manager knew if there was no knockout early its trouble. Even before the last round he told apollo to stay away from him. Can watch the last round forever and still feel the drama of it.
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I felt the drama you've mentioned so much during editing, you know, going blow by blow!! Good stuff!! (:
Best sequel you've ever seen? A bold claim but you may be right! Love you guys!
Haha, yeah, it might be a bold claim especially because there are so many movies we still have to watch. Love back at you! (:
Me gusto mucho la reacción de la chica, ame esa cara de asombro cuando sonó la campana y Rocky gana. excelente muchachos. saludos desde Venezuela.
Gracias por sus amables palabras. Se lo agradecemos. Saludos desde Venezuela. (:
