    Regarding Rocky's parents--in "Rocky V," Rocky reveals that his dad left them when he was a boy. And there's a cut scene in "Rocky Balboa" where Rocky chats with Steps and reveals that after his father left, his mother deserted him shortly thereafter. And there's yet ANOTHER cut scene in "Creed" where Rocky is talking to Adrian about his father, which heavily implies the father tried to get back into Rocky's life after he became big.
    According to Stallone, Rocky and Gazzo are contemporaries. They both grew up together so Gazzo kinda looks out for Rocky.
    Tony, let me tell you: DON'T run up the steps of the Art Museum. Just keep moseying up them like someone with some goddamn sense. The whole point of Rocky running up the stairs was to show how strong he had got during training, cause even he couldn't do it the first time. But us normos are all like, "Pfft. I got this." I ran up them and it messed me up for the whole rest of the day. So just walk; you'll get to the same place.
    Stallone didn't really "show off his body" in "A Party at Kitty and Stud's." It's more that he was sleeping on a subway bench because he was homeless in 1970 and some producer offered him money to do the film and he did it. After "Rocky," someone with a print of "Party" called Stallone and tried to blackmail him. They said something like "Unless you give me a million dollars, I'm gonna put this out." And Stallone fired back, "For a million dollars, I'll remake the damn thing with sound!" then hung up. And because Sly told him to go screw, that's why there's an "Italian Stallion" version now.
    Mickey is NOT Irish. Mickey is revealed to be Jewish in "Rocky III."
    Boxing matches used to be 15 rounds, uniformly. But after someone got killed in the ring, they shortened it down to 12 rounds. Sometimes fights are just 10 rounds now as well. But back in Rocky's day, they were 15 rounders.
    Rocky doesn't floor Creed for "a second." If Rocky hadn't been jumping around and not going to his corner like he should have, the ref would've counted Creed out. It takes him way longer than 10 seconds to get back up but the ref isn't counting; he's pushing Rocky back and telling him to go to his corner.
    What nobody ever notices is that Round 15 is only like 90 seconds instead of a proper 3 minutes. Rocky would've had Apollo if there were a few more punches, but the round was truncated.
    Regarding the original ending of the movie: the ending that's in the movie now is not the ending they originally shot by any means. The original ending, which is of course the poster image, everyone decided that it was just too bleak. It was a little cold, ending with Rocky and Adrian walking away surrounded by all the trash in the Spectrum. So the producers got some money together and they came up with the ending that's in the movie now, which was far more uplifting. There was no fire; nothing to do with a fire. It was all about just how downcast the first ending was. Rocky and Adrian didn't even tell each other they loved each other in the original ending.
    "Taxi Driver" came out in February 1976 and "Rocky" came out in November '76. They shot Rocky in 28 days, so they had all seen "Taxi Driver" when they made "Rocky."

    Chuck Wepner, the Bayonne Bleeder. My family lived in the same building as him on Kennedy Blvd.
    He actually ran into Stallone when they were filming Lock Up, as Chuck was incarcerated at Rahway Prison at the time.
    Chuck was supposed to have a role in Rocky II but it didn't work out & he never got compensated until the 2000s.

    Hack The Movies- Great work--as always.
    I'm a big fan of the 'Rocky' movies & coming from somebody who was born in early-1989, this franchise is one of the first I ever watched as far as sports-related movies are concerned.
    Also, I had to laugh when the title said "Required for viewing by Italians in Philadelphia" because I happen to have some Italian in my ancestry, but, I'm from Illinois.
    Be that as it may, I loved this review.

This is the greatest film of all times to me all the sequels on channel 11 and all sequels off channel 11 never seen it on cable though, but you know, but you know I’m glad you’re doing movies on it. Thank you. Hope you do the sequels.

    Ok, I’ve gotta give you guys credit. I’ve watched these movies like 100 times, but you guys provided a fresh perspective as actual Italians who picked up the nuances. Trisha was great at noticing Italian and Sicilian words/names. Frank was great at noticing how Rocky sees the good in people. And Tony is just great.

    Yo, Tony. You need to do all of the Rocky films. I've watched pretty much all of your vids sept the one about the dogs and it's all dogs on set.. can't do it pal! However, you said you have already done some Rocky's on Mint salad.. sorry mate, I can't sit through a vid listening to a half baked bird!. yes, I'm sure she's a nice girl and she appeals to 13 year old boys with those mummy milkers.. but you really need to do all the films like you did the Alien films. I've watched the over 8 hour vid over 10 times when I'm cook and doing other mundane stuff like that. It's worth it. Like many other film reviewers they do the same stuff but I actually find stuff to torment my wife while watching film with fine but fun facts. Keep up the good work GB

    I didn't know John. Avildsen had died. He used to have a RUclips Channel (I can't find it now). I interacted with him a couple of times on it. He uploaded his director's cut workprint of Rocky V on it. (You can still find this on another channel.) It's a lot better than the final version.
