Rocky is one of the most iconic movies of all time. Along with winning best picture for new-coming writer, director, and actor, Sylvester Stallone, in 1976, the film inspired 5 sequels and the spinoff film series “Creed” starring Michael B. Jordan. As an up and coming boxer myself, I thought I’d take a look at the work of Rocky Balboa to see if he included medical accuracy in his boxing epic based out of Philadelphia. Carl Weathers playing Apollo Creed, Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago… not to mention Mickey, Adrian, Paulie, and so many other characters come into play here as we look at the injuries Rocky sustained and delivered. Specifically we look into broken hands, broken noses, broken ribs, brain trauma and CTE, drinking raw eggs, using raw meat as punching bags, running stairs, “cut-men” steroids, blood doping, hematomas, chasing a chicken for speed training, banning boxing, Cavum Septum Pellucidum, Which Rocky movie is your favorite?

Sylvester Stallone actually received some major injuries during filming of rocky 4. Dolph hit Sylvester for real into the chest and doctors thought he was hit by a car the damage to his heart and lungs were so bad.
Ya the guy is double his size. Weight classes exist for good reason
Fun follow up, the insurance company refused to initially pay out for the injury due to the doctors actually thinking he was in a car accident due to the type of injury. And stunt driving wasn't listed on his movie health insurance. They only agreed to pay after the film director showed them the video of him being hit. And fun fact that clip made it into the movie! It's one of the First hits of the fight when Rocky takes a chest/gut punch and kinda curls up
Dude can probably deliver some good chest compression's and break some ribs
Also Dolph hit him as hard as he can only cause Sylvester told him to lol this man is crazy
@@matt566 yup
I'm not sure if it's possible, but, it would be cool if you could sit down with Slyvester Stallone and talk about The Rocky films. Go into the physical training and the on set injuries, and how he and the other actors were kept medically safe during filming.
Please make this happen if you can. This is a great idea and chance to learn from a well known celebrity which would draw more interest to personal health-care.
Yea
Make this happen @Doctor Mike !!

First time I saw Dr Mike not in scrubs
Why no comment?
@@pileofwhile12fr
The scene with the chicken. My husband pointed out something outside of physical exercise that the chicken exercise does that other standard exercises won't. Increasing speed, endurance, and muscle is important in boxing but so is strategizing and being able to anticipate movements. Chasing a chicken around allows real time training in that aspect. It exercises the brain he says more so than it does the body in that regard, or rather combines the two with muscle memory movements in regards to certain anticipated movements in order to successfully capture the chicken or in the ring, defeat his opponents. They always like to say there is method to the madness lolol.
ahh thank you
True, chickens can accelerate and turn faster than humans, and they work at ground level, which people don't.
Also, if I remember correctly as it's been a long time, they gave them no equipment to work with. So, developing quickness, anticipation, and endurance were a factor.
Well isn't it quite questionable to chase a chicken??
@@pinktysonic not really. Chasing chickens has been a thing since chickens have been cultivated. Ancient cultures and tribes used to have their children chase and catch them for similar purposes. As a method of training to teach quickness, anticipation, strategy, and stamina.
Fun fact: When filming Rocky 4, Stallone asked Dolph to punch him for real. Dolph punched Stallone so hard in the chest that he had to be flown to a hospital.
So what you're saying is that there is a Drago wins cut? ;-)

The injuries were similar to getting hit int the chest by a steering wheel in a car crash. Their insurance refused to pay at first, until they demonstrated how it happened. Dolph Lundgren is an immensely strong man...
sounds like he delivers some good chest compression's
@Israel Tovar
So that's why Creed went down in round 2.
The raw egg one always baffled me when I was younger. Someone puts a raw egg in a protein shake and suddenly that makes it healthy, but you take one bit of raw cookie dough that contains raw eggs and everyone loses their minds. Great video!
Today it's understood that it's actually the raw flour in cookie dough that makes it especially dangerous! Even a raw cookie dough with no eggs is not recommended to consume for that reason (...but I do it anyway lol)
He put raw eggs because he had no stove so he couldn’t cook them
I wanna like ur comment so it's at 69 likes lol
Theres a 1 in 20,000 chance that an egg contains salmonella, 10% to 30% chance of flour containing e-coli, salmonella and/or listeria. It's usually more to do with the flour than the eggs in raw dough
My grandma used to fill a glass with Welch's grape juice, pour in a tablespoon of sugar and crack a raw egg in it. Then she blended it with the spoon and we had to drink it! 😬
EDIT: Oops! It's Welch's, not Welsh's. 🤓
11:34
The choreography here is so goofy, but I really do appreciate the fact that Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Tarver engaged in legitimate sparring during the filming of the climactic fight. It's just cool to think about an actor who is so dedicated to his craft that he was willing to actually square up with a professional fighter who fought at heavyweight and won light heavyweight and cruiserweight world titles. Most people wouldn't want to go up even against a seasoned amateur from a local gym.
Interesting fact: the introduction of boxing gloves have had a huge negative impact on the number of deaths and injuries in boxing (as opposed to bare-knuckle boxing) because fighters are able to punch and punch and punch without hurting their hands.
Precisely. The human body naturally limits itself to avoid self-harm, so any time you punch without the extra padding (or the training to negate that limit) you're going to be subconsciously pulling that punch.
Once the gloves are on, though? Your subconscious limiters get reduced since you're thinking "Sweet, now I don't have to worry about injuring myself," and you end up punching *harder* as a result.
@@Groundlord it’s like the instinct to not swim too far down in the ocean when you have to hold your breath, because you know you’ve got to travel all that way back up again to be able to breath.
Once you have scuba gear though, you can go as deep as you like, completely unaware that the pressure will kill you.
Otherwise known as risk compensation. Something similar happened with vulnerable road users when seatbelts were made mandatory.
Wearing gloves specifically makes throwing full-force punches to the head much less risky for the puncher, too.
Getting rid of gloves is likely one of the best ways to limit head injuries.
@@Groundlorduntil your body gets doped up on adrenaline, then it doesn’t care how much pain your in
When Apollo dies, Carl flinching up like that on in the ring, did his scene so seriously that everyone really did think he died. Scary scene. Love you and love watching your videos. ♥️
Still get goosebumps watching that scene
@@80spurple13 Especially now that Carl Weathers unfortunately passed away.
So fun fact, the reason Rocky drinks raw eggs is because HE DOESN'T HAVE A STOVE TO COOK THEM, and everyone assumed there was some health benefit and copied it.
I want an alternate cut where he has a stove and makes a Giant omelette
Isn't it just faster to drink eggs?
@@uppercutgrandma4425 doesn't feel good tho
Hahaha no way!
How does he make food at home then?? I doubt he had a microwave, lol
I hope you realized that "it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward" is not about boxing, it's a life lesson
Facts
Another life lesson: I hope that Mike realizes that the rationale about boxers choosing to accept the risks associated with head trauma also applies to people using potentially dangerous drugs.
He bristled recently at Ryan Marino’s suggestion of legalizing *all* drugs, but it’s the same concept: you can choose to smoke, drink and box.
There’s no drug he mentioned which kills more people than cigarettes, so let adults decide for themselves.

@@adamweisshauphe’s a boxer as well, on top of being a doctor
The scene where rocky punches the raw meat, sylvester stallone did so many takes with just the raw meat alone that he basically flatted his knuckles.
I wouldn't doubt it. Those slabs of meat are a lot harder than they look. Plus the ribs. Coming from a guy that used to work at a slaughterhouse
Seeing how rocky didn't block any of his punches in the first 2 movies and some of the 3rd one I'm honestly surprised that he didn't get brain damage before the 4th one
@Don’t read my profile picture don't worry we wont
He blocked the punches with his face.
I have always wondered if some people are just genetically gifted in that area. Granted, Rocky is fictional, but take someone like George Foreman. Never the quickest fighter, but could always take punch after punch after punch with much less effect than most boxers. And to this day he doesn't seem the least bit affected by it. It has to be genetic, right?
@@MiddleAgedBob I guess
@@MiddleAgedBob Dude named every one of his sons 'George' - I wouldn't say he's unaffected by it. ;)
Seriously though, we know the science - literally every time you get punched in the head it's a brain injury. The most significant factor in CTE seems to be repeated sub-concussive impacts, not a few major ones. I.e., it's literally every punch to the head (or every collision in football or even every header in soccer - pro soccer players show a lot of CTE).
Yeah, there's certain to be some people less predisposed to the injury, or less predisposed to developing Tau protein build up, or less predisposed to tau proteins causing cognitive dysfunction - but anatomy is anatomy and physics is physics: bop the head around, the brain is going to bounce inside the skull. There's no way around that (at least until *massive* advances in biotechnology).
1:28 Mickey said it at the beginning. In his words Rocky has heart, but he fights like an ape. This was during the early stages of training so he didn't hone in his abilities just yet.
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already, but oh well. The scene when Rocky is punching the side of beef, and Paulie says "You're breaking the ribs!" is foreshadowing. Rocky has a much more body attack than head attack. It's why Apollo coughs up blood and why his ribs are broken at the end of the match.
I would love to see you cover the injuries in Creed 1 and 2. They're physically and emotionally terrifying from a viewer perspective.
Yeah! Also Creed is a great film plus I think the fight choreography is better so maybe he'll like that aspect
Yesss
Yeah especially when he went to the bathroom😰
It's more realistic too
@@punnylittleaj3392 oh jeez yeah, when he starts peeing blood 😬😬
Rocky is literally one of the reasons why I knew and started boxing and loving it when I was like five years old!
9:17
*threatens Rocky’s career*
Rocky: yeh
Lol
10:35 When Stallone was making Rocky Balboa (Rocky 6), one of the things fans asked him was how he'd be able to box again after having that diagnosis. He explained that because medical history advanced over time, what was bad back then would be considered a minor concussion now in comparison. To put it lightly, Rocky went for a second opinion.
Love this video as a long time Rocky fan, I grew up watching them with my dad and mean a lot to me! Also just wanted to say that some of the “unconventional” training like the meat and the chicken is not meant to be realistic or that it works haha but a way to show Rocky was poor and didn’t have resources, which is one of the main themes especially in the first movie. great medical analysis though! one of my fav videos on this channel for sure so far!
It seems to follow the Rule of Cool.
Wow what a classic! Love that you got into character for this 😂😂
I always liked Rocky's main defensive tactics from the first 2 movies, where he'd block every punch with his face. I believe it's know as the Moe Szyslak defence.
Or the Justin Gaethje technique
I feel like this was one where you didn't point out as many inaccuracies, which makes me so incredibly happy because this is one of my favorite movie series ever
that iconic Rocky moment of him running up the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Arts is actually based of the real life exploits of Joe Frazier. even the beef carcass punching. Rest in Peace Champ.
Rocky: "I don't think doctors should fight."
Sly's calling you out Doctor Mike!
My grandfather was an amateur boxer in Oregon in the 60’s. Reasonably successful winning most fights by knocking out in the second or third. He worked grading lumber in a mill and then would run to the gym to train.
He never tried going pro because he’d met too many retired boxers who could barely function anymore.
Did he say whether or not these guys had good money enough to retire?? How high up the roster did these guys go??
The whole "women weaken legs" thing wasn't just because of the belief that sex physically weakened a boxer it was also a psychological thing too. Trainers don't want their fighters distracted during training and relationships can definitely be a source of distraction
"Women Weaken Legs!" Its true. It's psychological and physical too. When you bust a nut, your releasing sperm dna and testosterone which comes from the testes. Lower testosterone can lower many factors in the ring, and turn a man into a weakened cuck especially as he gets beyond 45-50.
Haha love the cool merch! You're one of my biggest inspirations Dr Mike! CONGRATS ON 9 MILLION!! 😍😍🙌🙌
Glad you know about the official count on outside that the ref ignored in Tyson vs Douglas. Many seem to ignore that the official count was already 3 when ref said 1. Hence when Douglas got up at 9 it was actually 12.
Congratulations Dr. Mike!!! So happy for you!!! I was thinking about the game all day!!!! Saw on RUclips!!!!!
6:30 I don’t understand how boxers aren’t all extremely sick all the time….I slipped and fell on a hardwood floor, losing consciousness for an unknown amount of time…I did this 10 years ago. The day after the head injury I started throwing up/being extremely nauseous *every single day* and it has _NEVER STOPPED_ …I just wonder how many athletes end up suffering the way I do…? I promise you, *NO* amount of money is worth it. 🤢🤮😮💨
Hey Dr. Mike! My name is Livia, my mother is a nurse practitioner, has been for...well I don't know how long. She loves your videos, and so do I! She loves your reacting videos, where you point out the false info from TV shows or movies. My dad was in the Army, and he also loves your videos. Thank you for the amazing videos and I hope you have an amazing day/night!
12:17 - I had hoped you would comment on Dixon's trainer (...and the commentator) when they say that the broken hand "...will numb up on you" in a few rounds and, at that point, Dixon would be able to throw punches very hard with his broken hand. I was hoping to hear the science behind that.
My favorite movies of all time and my favorite youtuber reacting to it. Great combo!
Hey Mike, I know this is unrelated, but I want to thank you for introducing me to the Good Doctor. It's my new favorite medical drama series. My wife was SUPER into Grey's Anatomy but after you showed me that it was extremely inaccurate I started looking for a new medical series to begin watching and The Good Doctor has quickly begun taking over my heart and brain as my favorite show on TV
Dr. Mike introduced me to The Good Doctor, too. I loooooove it.
SAME!
I’m going to be honest with you Dr Mike.
I’ve always wanted to be a surgeon or something really good in the medical field. Not exactly sure what they’re called (I’m not even a teen yet, turning 12 this month) but ever since seeing you and Dr Youn. I’ve been so inspired to become a surgeon. I find the body fascinating on how it works. All the tiny stuff to create as we know “humans” and reproduction. On how all this forms in a womb as well as The Who process of how everything works in the whole body in general. It just fascinates me and I hope to become a doctor :) keep up the great work! We appreciate you very much.
U can do it girl yall generation is are future
I'm so glad to see kids getting inspiration. A lot of them just resort to a career of making TikTok dances. Good luck with your journey of becoming a surgeon! Don't let anyone change your mind of what you want to be
@Bruno B. Bigdongzhong it's hard to find a good neurologist nowadays
That was an enjoyable reaction, doc. Make more like it, please.
My absolute favorite movie series of all time. I know it's not medically accurate but it's all about the story and what he's been through to get where he's at. The true heart of a fighter. His last line in Rocky 6 is more so referring to life. When life knocks you down, you've got two choices: stay down or get the hell back up. I watched these movies with my daddy who has passed away and I feel that quote in my soul. But if you take that quote literally when referred to boxing then yes, you are not supposed to get hit essentially lol.

Amazing that you guys support a sell out “doctor” who encouraged vax to profit from his sponsors. Now F0|A docs are coming out and we see how shady it all was.
I had never realized how incredibly demanding on your fitness boxing is until I put some boxing gloves on and started hitting a punch bag. I was completely tired in like 10 seconds. And I have been going to the gym for quite a long time and I'm in a pretty fit condition. Boxing is really demanding on your physique. Much more so than eg. running, cycling or even weightlifting.

Come on Dr Mike! The icon line ''It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward'' is just simply a life lesson that indeed motivates someone haha. Great video, as always
These reactions are dope G
Loved this video - Rocky is one of my mom's and my favourite movies to get motivated to workout. When we visited Philadelphia, we took videos of each other running up the stairs just like the movie haha
Thanks Doctor Mike :)
11:45 -- that was the thing that happened to Tommy Hearns in his fight with Marvin Haggler. He hit Marvin too high up on his head, and his fist was broken on Marvin's skull bone. That cost Tommy the chance to prolong the fight past 3 rounds. Fighting with a broken hand may be brave, but you got less power after it breaks.
It's a non-issue... just use your intact hand and hit the one in the middle!
Always learning from your amaizing videos!!!
hey Doctor Mike! i just wanted to say i love your videos and i always get a laugh from them, but i also wanted to say that i used to be a boxer (still train boxing but not fighting in competitions anymore as i started to struggle with some minor, but very annoying injuries) I remember this one the best as i actually did what you were talking about when the dude broke his hand, i was tying to land a left uppercut to the body at the end of the first round when my opponent put his hand/elbow down to block and i smashed my thumb into it and broke my thumb, but because of so much adrenaline in my body i didn't feel it so i boxed the for 2 more rounds (this was in armature boxing) and won the fight on points, but could feel something was wrong when i was in the shower after the fight and the adrenaline started to calm down
Oh my gosh the breaking bones noises at 11:50 are EGREGIOUS, and im here for it 😂

Thanks, Sly, for the incredible motivation. 💪😎
Dr Mike as a Russian American, with possible family in Russia, it must be hard for you because you probably feel for everyone involved in this Urkaine and Russia conflict. We should all be praying and thinking of our Ukraine brothers & sisters during this time. 🙏💘

Hey Doctor Mike, just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I got into Med School and you are one reasons why I'm studyine Medicine😊
rockin that hoodie looking good Dr Mike lol had to make that pun also cool you box
Love the Rocky movies and when Mike lays down the truth on 'em, it's a good combo. Love boxing and learning more about the health side!
I’ve heard of a different type of “blood doping”. Some athletes go live (and maybe train) in the mountains, where air is rarer. It forces the body to produce more red blood cells to increase oxygen transport efficiency. Then they come back down to compete in sports with that advantage, without having to take drugs that might show up on tests.
at 8:10 if you play back at 0.5 speed he sounds really drunk lol
Since you're a fan of boxing I would totally love to see you react to "Southpaw". It's a fantastic movie and the way they shot the fights is pretty amazing. Also some medical stuff to react to and an iconic performance from Jake Gyllenhaal. You should totally check it out if you haven't seen it!
I totally forgot about Southpaw until I read ur comment. Great movie!!!
it would be cool if you could do a second part to this focusing on the Creed movies, those had some injuries that worried me as a viewer more than the original Rocky injuries did
And what about the other medical conditions from the series? Adrian’s coma, Mickey’s heart attack, Rocky’s cancer, etc.
Dr. Mike could you react to some Arrow medical scenes? Even though it is a superhero show, there are a surprising amount of scenes you could react to. Also, congrats on 9 Million!
Edit: Spelling
That was cool to see you do a Stallone movie. I like to see you react to injuries from the Die Hard series.
So much for reacting to this I love this movie so much and so does my family
Oh I forgot to say I watch this when I was 4 years old by the way

Every time I'm amazed at how well you combine intelligence and humor. Keep it up!
thanks for the video.... Pura vida!
So much of Rocky's training is accurate for the time period and beyond. Raw eggs are protein, build muscles. Punching raw meat toughens your knuckles. Slapping during sit ups get you used to getting hit. I like your vids Dr Mike, but, any dr would say, don't get hit, don't do this, don't do that. I studied martial arts in the 80s-90s, and did alot of things to toughen my body that Drs would not recommend. 60 years old, and can do alot of things my contemporaries cannot.
Ireally want Mike to react to anime injuries so I can hear him say "Nah you'd be dead" like 20 times lmao
Ooooh that would be so fun!
I love these vids ...while your using big words , you're also explaining it very easily. We need more doctors like you 😁
Hey Docter Mike, I've got a question. I listen to audiobooks all the time with headphones on. I always keep my volume down under 50%. But in a way I still keep having more hearing damage.

The real Rocky Balboa had a 49-0 record the highest record for a heavyweight world champion. Before people say Floyd beat that record he isn't a heavyweight boxer.
