Ivan Dragos actor, Dolph Lundgren, is actually Swedish. He’s also a real life genius as well. He has a IQ of 160 and has a masters in Chemical engineering. He’s also a great fighter as well being a 4th Dan Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate and stuff. The dude hits HARD. Syllvester Stallone literally had to be sent to ICU for nine days due to heart swelling and other injuries as well. He said Dolph hits are like getting hit by a bus and such. Even Carl Weathers (Apollo) almost had called it quits on the movie due to taking Dolphs punches. After that final punch, the crew and cast had actually thought that he had died on set for a sec.
Thank you, saved me from writing all that lol, and I believe at the time of this movie he couldn't speak much English which is why he had very few lines
@@jonathanlonsdale3404 i believe he had already graduated engineering at mit , if so he probably knew english pretty well
Love these insightful comments.
Thanks for sharing my guy 😎
@@MrJocky82 y he was kickboxing champ of europe too
He can do anything but act :v
Technically, when a boxer starts a fight, they consent to a risk that they might be seriously hurt or even die....
Brawling can lead to death. This Mexican actor has been found guilty of manslaughter after he punched a guy over a traffic incident or something. I guess the guy fell from the punch and hit his head. Also, there have been stories of some guy getting punched once and the guy dying, so fighters do run the risk of dying from a fight, although they wear padded gloves, but it still happens.
@@DV80s padded gloves with the hits they do only protects the boxer's hands, in reality the punch is more powerful with gloves then a bare punch without them.
@@Morrison64 Well said. The gloves protect the guy's hands so he can hit HARDER.
In real life, Dolph Lundgren, who plays Drago is as much brain as brawn. Though he trained in karate as a young man… he has a college degree in chemical engineering.
Not just a college degree. A Master’s degree.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Thanks. I thought it was a PhD, but wasn’t positive so played it safe.
This is absolutely my favourite movie in the Rocky franchise. I love how invested you get in watching movies!
This film came out in 1985, shortly after the Miracle on Ice at the 1980 Olympics but before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The actor portraying the leader of the Russians is almost identical to Mikhail Gorbachev who was the leader of the USSR as it was dissolved into the various republics we see today. This is the height of the Cold War and the US was essentially spending the USSR into ruin but Rocky offered a different outlet.
Sad that today you have to make such a comment, because people don't know about a thing about history
Yea, Dolph Lungreen was a fighter also in real life. More interesting fact is this: In the early eighties, Dolph graduated from The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and completed his Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering on an exchange program with the University of Sydney in Australia. Graduating at the head of his class, Dolph was then awarded a Fulbright scholarship to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, one of the world’s top engineering schools. He was finally on his way to America.
I remember another RUclipsr watching the fight between Apollo and Drago said "Don't die, Apollo! I like you too much now." Carl Weathers brought so much charisma to that character.
The difference between a sanctioned and non sanctioned fight is that the boxing commission takes no responsibility for it. A fighter will not win or lose a rank or title. It’s why the fight had to be done in Russia because legally they couldn’t do it in America. The fight with Apollo was sanctioned but an exhibition.
I like your heart, honesty, and how much you care Duaffy. The truth is that when me "sign up" for professional fighting, there is NO such thing as jail, murder, or anything like that. Every man who steps in a ring or on a mat is putting their life in danger. Literally, "If he dies...he dies" is exactly the truth!
This particular series of events amd the names is fiction, but I promise you, this happens a lot more than you would ever think or believe! I knew a guy in my hometown who died from blunt force trauma and brain injuries, and the only people who faced and consequences were the fighter, his family, and loved ones.
Boxing, MMA, Martial Arts, etc...can be very brutal and deadly! Every man or woman who signs a contract knows this going in. This is very sad but true!
Don't mess with the bull unless you're ready to take the horns.
There's one important point you guys are missing, Drago threw the referee out of the way just before the kill shot. Perhaps Dauffy is right about criminal charges.
@@ckobo84 I think and not totally sure but things like this have happened before. And the person lost there ably to fight for many years. No charges
Yes, but I'm assuming the opponent didn't die in them cases. The result of the actions has a huge impact.
@@ckobo84 Like i said I could be wrong but just from memory I can remember one guy dieing but that was way back in the day. The other one i remember and i sure you do as well is Mike Tyson biting that dudes ear off lol. Both no charges but a fine and also kicked out of boxing for many years.
You cannot be legally charged for killing your opponent in a professional fight.
Gotta tell her. This is why there are CONTRACTS!
You can when the referee stops the fight and you physically assault the ref to get him out of the way and then keep on beating your opponent. That would absolutely be chargeable.
Facts
@@theradgegadgie6352 But that would not be DURING a professional fight
@@orobas8080 That's a hair that really doesn't need.to be split.
No Duaffy. Regular people couldn't afford a robot like that. I think its just there to show how incredibly rich Rocky has become.
Rocky and Apollo friendship was one of the Best things in the Rocky films series. Even when they were rivals they always respect one another. They was Brothers!
Imagine if Apollo had dropped Rocky in 3 rounds in the first fight.
Rocky single handedly beat the Soviets and ended the cold war
True fax
Duaffy is one of the rare people that actually LIKED the robot!! 🤣
I liked the robot. But I was a little kid when I first saw it almost 40 years ago. If I saw it for the first time now I probably wouldnt like it. But I remember the kid in me loved it. I think its funny now.
@@jkhristian9603 Same here.. And to be honest, that robot was kinda a human size version of some toys we could had back then
I like the robot too. This is why I don't like the new director's cut. Because they removed the robot.
This actually had the highest grossing box office of any of the Rocky films.
Survivor using chords to represent punches and then adding a "dodge" to the second grouping of notes is creatively satisfying \m/
A little fun fact: After Rocky beat the soviet champion he actually became the best boxer of the world, he had no opponents left. A stupid idea came up among the crew, what if in episode 5 an alien visited the planet and Rocky had to fight him. Screenwriters Jim and John Thomas saw something in the idea and began writing the book, named it Hunter, in which an alien warrior visits earth. The book somehow found its way to producer Joel Silver, who was making Commando with Swarzenegger at the time, and he liked the idea so much that he made the movie with various changes. He also changed the title from Hunter to Predator.
It's not true and has been disclaimed as a gag article.
Wrong
Dolph was extremely popular at the time and really could have been a huge hollywood star except for his accent. At least Arnold worked on his and overcame it to be in movies, Dolph sadly wasn't good enough to get over it. He still did a lot of movies, was friends with Stallone, and is extremely smart with a masters in chemical engineering, and a Fullbright scholarship to MIT.
"Didn't get over it"? I didn't even know he was in Aquaman until his name was in the credits!
Dolph Lundgren was a badass dude, but he was a terrible actor had nothing to do with his accent.
No, they didn’t film this in Russia. The scenes in the snow, the farm and the “Russian” airport were all filmed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The scene of Rocky climbing the mountain was at Grand Teton National Park, also in Wyoming. The final fight was shot at the Agrodome in Vancouver, Canada.
I really recommend wach new directors cut from this year. The film sounds a little different and Apollo has more air time. And yes. In the final speech he mentioned Appolo in the directors cut.
For me, this movie is the best of the saga. Rocky feels the guilt and the desire for revenge is so strong. Never forget it. Every time I see it, I feel how difficult it was for Rocky. He deals with the death of his loved ones, especially his best friend is Apollo and he thinks I started as rivals, then I was a friend, then death and honor separated them.
By FAR the worst Rocky movie. A distant sixth.
Disagree, this is like a 6/10 and the best one of the saga is Creed 8/10
Creed has the best acted scenes, cinematography, camera work, writing and is a great movie.
@@reynaldolorenzo8409 ehh idk creed is my 2nd favorite after rocky 4 tho

I’m a filmmaker student, my classmate and me do movie rankings and rating for fun, and everyone had Rocky 4 as the worse or second worse one. That movie outside of the training montage it doesn’t have a lot to offer. The acting is average, the writing is average, cinematography is average. Creed like I said has by far and it’s not even close, Stallone best acting performance and maybe he even should’ve been nominated and everyone else was great too. The best cinematography and camera work by far, even has a long take fight scene and the writing was great so I am glad you enjoyed Rocky 4 but from a filmmaking standpoint Creed is the best movie but cool that you liked Rocky 4.

6.rocky 4 5/10
7.rocky 5 4/10. and i have not seen creed 2.
i really love how real, down to earth and grounded the first 2 felt. everything from the bigger focus on characters just having everyday sounding conversations/interactions to the use of lots of wide shots and shots from corner of the room angles sometimes behind shelves and the like (especially in the first film) just made it feel very immersive as a film. from 3 onwards it starts to feel more 'hollywood' and they start to feel more like actors acting than the characters themselves. i think 5 was the breaking point cos after that it returns atleast somewhat to its roots in terms of writing and direction
The robot was a prototype Stallone added as a favor to a friend. As far as I know, it was just too expensive.
I think there was a similar one in the Sharper Image or Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog after the movie. Hideously expensive.
To add to what @guymon82 said about the injuries during filming, Stalone said that he didn't feel it at the time, but Dolph hit him so hard that his heart started to swell and he had to be hospitalized.
Stallone** * (2 l's)
Hi Dauffy, to be fair, you are only halfway through the Rocky (and Creed) Movies. The next one, (Rocky V) was supposed to be the last Rocky movie according to Sylvester Stallone. It got horrible reviews. And to be honest, even Stallone said he was unhappy with it. In an interview, Stallone promised to remake the final Rocky and would not let his fans down again. The final "Rocky" movie wasn't called "Rocky VI", it was simply titled "Rocky Balboa". After that, the next 2 movies are called "Creed & Creed 2". All 8 of these movies have Sylvester Stallone in them, and IMO the last 3 are excellent. "Rocky V" really isn't very good, but for the sake of continuity it's worth seeing. Just one my thing, it's probably a good idea to watch the director's cuts of the rest of these films. They are much better than the theatrical releases, with extended scenes, etc.
I wish they didn't include the part about Drago pushing the ref out of the way in order to hit Apollo more. It made him comically too villain, whereas killing a beloved character and being apathetic about it is bad enough for the audience. It's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be an international disaster for the USSR, probably illegal, and that life just continues with limited blowback. Not to mention they now can't use Carl Weathers for any of the sequels, including Creed.
On rare occasions fighters do die in the ring. It is tragic, however, legally it is not a crime. This is the reason the state must sanction the fight before it takes place, and the fighters must be licensed to participate. Even going back to ancient China fighters in similar events would sign waivers of culpability in case one of the combatants were to be killed.
People have died in both boxing rings and wrestling rings. No one has ever been prosecuted because 1) you sign waivers before the fight and 2) theres always a risk of accidental death in those situations.
In every full-contact competition both contestants sign legal waivers absolving them of any short-term and long-term injuries sustained by their opponent during the contest, that also includes the lethal outcome (accidental), provided they followed the official rules. Most deaths in the ring usually happen from brain trauma and generally happen after the fight during recovery. Luckily, those are extremely rare. And the likelihood of dying from dehydration during the weight-cutting process for the weigh-ins is far more common than dying from internal bleeding after the fight. Hope that clears it up a bit.
Very cool reaction Duaffy. Just my opinion these four are the best of the series. Your thoughts and comments were outstanding, you showed you are a caring person which is so cool.
While death is an occupational hazard in boxing, I would imagine if you throw the ref aside as he's trying to break up a fight and kill your opponent after that you might just be charged with murder.
Fun fact.. when boxing was bare-knuckle, fighters would hold back so they didn't break their hands. When boxing gloves became standard, many boxers lost their lives because a punch could be thrown full force without someone breaking their hand. So the padding in the gloves made it more deadly, not less.
Except for in the very early years of boxing when the fights went on indefinitely until one fighter couldn't continue, or quit!!!!!
The "sanction" is another way to say "supervision"
In boxing world, organisms like WBA sanctions fight, wich means that they legitimize the validity of it, specially if there are titles involved.
As always, I loved your reaction and I'm waiting to see more (specially the Creed saga)
And they oversee the training of judges and referees and ensure they are qualified to perform thier job. They also oversee that all medical exams have been performed and both contestants have passed them and aren't suffering from any medical problem like a heart condition that could risk thier health.
I've seen every Rocky movie in the theater and the audience cheered loudly for Rocky. It was so much fun.
Your life is ALWAYS on the line in the ring. You don’t defend yourself you may die, if you do defend yourself you may die, if your opponent does something dirty you may die. I respect anyone who goes into a ring.
Since the 1800’s I think maybe 1,000 boxers have died as a result of injuries in the ring. Not counting sparring or amateurs. Average of 13 a year I believe.
During filming, Dolph Lundgren punched Stallone so hard that his heart moved! 😮
I think 10 or 12 have died IN the ring, but a TON have died because of a fight (after the fact). Even more in MMA. Combat sports can be cathartic, but there is always real danger.
Oh, and Dolph Lundgren (Drago) IS a heck of an athlete, black belt, oh, and happens to have a genius level intellect (Master's degree in chemical engineering, also went to MIT). He's definitely a specimen lol and a good person!
Ohhh also, Creed II sees the return of Drago, as trainer for his son. Its REALLY good!
If a fighter dies in the ring it's very rare but if you die during a licensed combative sporting event like this then the one who did it will not be prosecuted, unless it's proven they deliberately tried to kill their opponent.
Drago wasn't outright trying to kill Apollo, he just didn't care that he ended up doing it.
Great reaction Duaffy. Professional fighters have died in the ring before. I actually saw it happen growing up. A title fight between Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini and Duk Koo Kim in 1982 resulted in the death of (Duk Koo Kim). Unfortunately it's the risk they take when they enter the ring. As far as the political background of the movie, remember this was made in the 80's when the Cold War was still prominent. There were several movies made at the time that had Russia as the bad guy.
I remember that fight! A few years ago, there was a 30 for 30/ESPN documentary where Mancini met with Kim's family. It was really good.
@@benntura I haven't seen the full 30 for 30 yet. I gotta check it out. I watched the fight live on TV as a 10 year old. Kim was taking a beating but I could never imagine that someone would die in the ring. Real sad.
@@benntura Mancini knew that fight should never have happened
That was the fight that ended 12 round championship fights! That fight was stopped in the 14th round. After the fight Kim went into a coma and died. But there have always been deaths in boxing and MMA since ancient Greece (the Greeks called MMA "pankration"). According to my reading if a fighter died he was automatically declared the winner and given a laurel wreath. There have never been penalties unless one of the fighters cheated.
Dolph Lundgren aka Ivan Drago has a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Karate and was Bodyguard to Grace Jones. He also dated Grace and his first role was in a Bond movie as a KGB henchman. He is Swedish.
I believe Mr. Lungren is an Olympian with an engineering degree as well.
The robot was added into the film because Stallone had it on set to help his autistic son. Stallone had seen or read an interview with the man who created the robot and in the interview the inventor said that he felt in certain situations a robot might be more beneficial to a child with autism than a human might be. Stallone's son (the baby in Rocky 2) has autism and looking for anything that might help his child, Stallone wrote the robot into the movie. In between takes the robot and its inventor worked with Stallone's son on set.
The robot was an 80s movies thing. Many of those had a robot. Specially the sci-fi ones
6:22 Drago knew that names could never hurt him, but that sticks and stones (or punches) could break bones and kill.
They just released a *Director’s Cut* of this earlier this year, aka NO ROBOT, no corny lines, but extra footage. 👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah and terrible ASF
"If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change !"
Putin: Well, acktually…
"Hearts on fire strong desire" that song wad stuck in my head for like a week after watching it lol
People die in Boxing... a total of 55 deaths in the professional ring and 26 amateurs...
500--1200 people have died because of boxing since like 1880...
The last reported death because of boxing was June 5th 2022
24-year-old South African boxer Simiso Buthelezi began punching aimlessly in a different direction after Siphesihle Mntungwa was knocked into the ropes by Buthelezi. The referee stopped the fight, and Buthelezi was transported to hospital where a brain bleed was discovered. Buthelezi was placed into a medically induced coma from which he never woke up, as he died two days later.
Great comment about not mixing sports and politics. That would be great huh? The reality is that they have been mixed consistently throughout history. The Olympics have always had political undertones associated for an example.
But to add context to this film, this came out in the mid 80's where the US and USSR Cold War was still hot and heavy. People still were on edge about there possibly being a nuclear war. I don't think the Cold War officially ended until early 90's. So this was the topic of the era, thus would naturally be a part of any interaction between the US and USSR.
Sweetie, if a fighter dies in the ring, it's really a occupational hazard! I was angry because Drago was suped up on steroids! Can't wait to see your reaction for Creed 1 and 2, Balboa, and Rocky five.
Boxers and other professional fighters sign waivers before fights that way no one is held responsible for injuries or death. It's a real thing. And yes Drago was a kick boxer in real life.
Glad you love a cold fresh climate Duaffy. During a number of years in Europe and North America I grew to love the winters, despite living in a warm climate. So much so I once tried to scam a sojourn at a base in Antarctica. Did not work out for a variety of reasons. A pity.
The robot in this movie was not really a product that was for sale. The inventor Robert Doornick, founder of International Robotics, believed that in certain circumstances a robot might be able to communicate with autistic children better than most people. Rocky saw Mr. Doornick on a talk show and contacted him about working with his son Seargeoh Stallone who was autistic. The disease was much less understood at the time and Mr. Stallone kept the issue about his son quiet. He was working on the film and also going through a divorce and had his son with him on the set, so he also had Mr. Doornick there. Stallone became fascinated by the robot and soon wrote several comedic scenes for it in the movie, most of which ended up on the cutting room floor.
24:30 Here's where Rocky _wins..._
25:05 ...but _here_ is where he's _graceful_ about it.
"If he dies he dies." apt metaphor for a lot of things going on rn
Drago had a "Rocky" moment when he had his trainers and the crowd turned on him...he didnt have an "Adrian moment" he was alone once the fight turned in Rockys favor...
He felt used once he wasnt winning. Thos happened in the cold war era and allegations of streiods in the Olympics. Hints to not sanctioned meaning they didnt have testing that would have disqualified him.
Duaffy,
Dolph Lundgren was actually a kick boxing champion out of Sweden. Not only was he physically fit but he is vert smart too. Later earning several scientific degrees out of MIT. Dolph got the part of Drago after he was turned down to play the Russian "enforcer" in Rambo: First Blood Part 2. Stallone liked him and instantly gave him the part in this movie. During filming one day Stallone told Dolph to hit him as hard as he could in the chest. Stallone's ego was talking that day. Dolph refused but eventually gve in and hit him in the chest. He put Stallone in the hospital for a couple days with serious heart issues.
Boxers sign waivers in case someone is actually killed in a match so the winning fighter isn't sued or faces jail time.
Drago, Dolph Lungren is like a kick boxing champion! F.Y.I., the lady who played Drago's wife was actually married to Stallone at one time, and they did another movie together, Cobra and Drago was in the 3 Expendable's movies with Stallone!
Dolph Lundgren has lived an interesting life. Swedish special forces, martial arts competition, trained chemical engineer...fell into acting mostly because he was chasing a girl. He tells a story that during filming this movie Stallone wanted Dolph to punch him for real to make some of the closeups look good, Dolph being so new to acting didn't know how to pull his punches quite yet and hit Stallone so hard they had to stop filming for a few days.
To your question about what sanctioning a fight means an athletic commission (usually a government body) has licensed the fighters, reviewed their physicals to make sure they are healthy, drug tested the fighters, ensure that safety is in place, and generally oversee combat sports within their jurisdiction.
A couple boxers die as a direct result of a fight every year. Nobody goes to jail. It is an inherent risk of the sport unfortunately. Filming this Stallone as the actor playing Drago to really hit him. Stallone was in the ICU for days and nearly died in real life.
It was a different time, Dauffy. Everyone was on edge because they thought everything would go up in a nuclear mushroom cloud. In fact when I enlisted in the US Air Force three years later, basic training was reduced to 6 weeks and I got though it in two ( because of my Junior ROTC training) because they figured we would be dead so soon after that it wasn't worth paying for Basic training and just concentrated on our actual tech school training. I was told that my life expectancy after the start of WW3 would be 15 minutes. Less than a year after I enlisted the Soviet Union collapsed. So...yay!
That's weird(?) I lived through that entire decade, and neither me, nor anyone I knew was on edge.
Life for us went on as usual.
While this film isn't everyone's favorite Rocky film, it is my favorite Rocky film because of the Cold War aspect of it. In the same way, Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country is my favorite of the TOS Star Trek films.
If cheating were an Olympic sport, the Russians would win all the medals every games.
Drago's actor is Dolph Lundgren, who is Swedish and a martial artist. We was the European karate champion in 1980 and 1981.
Duaffy, Many fighters have died in the ring in the history of boxing. Both fighters understand that they risk their lives every time they step in the ring.
That's as true now as it was in 1985.
The movie also portrays the political environment of the Cold War era, between the west, and especially the United States, and the Soviet Union.
Soviet and other Communist countries of that era (and even now), were well known for using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.
An explanation of the fight being "sanctioned" is that the different boxing organizations that rule boxing determine whether a fight is "sanctioned" or not.
They also determine what challengers are next in line to fight for the championship.
I love your compassion and empathy💕
Great reaction!
Hans Lundgren, Swedish: born 3 November 1957, better known as Dolph Lundgren, is a Swedish actor, filmmaker and martial artist. His breakthrough came in 1985, when he starred in Rocky IV as the imposing Soviet boxer Ivan Drago.
Lundgren honed his karate skills by training hard in the dojo for five years, attaining the rank of 4th dan black belt in Kyokushin in 1978. He captained the Swedish Kyokushin karate team, and was a formidable challenger at the 1979 World Open Tournament when he was only a green belt. He won the European championships in 1980 and 1981, and a heavyweight tournament in Australia in 1982. In 1982, Lundgren graduated with a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney.
6.43 feet, tall guy!
You are so sensitive. It's so touching ❤
I entered a few karate competitions and they made us sign waivers saying we took all the responsibility of all kind of injury, no matter if it led to permanent damage, paralysis, dismemberment or death. I'm sure professional fighter sign much harder waivers, so the only way to prosecute Drago would be if they found some way cheated with specific intention of causing harm, like drugging Apollo or using a trick kind of gloves.
In the 80's there wasn't the technology to have a robot like that. You could make something the looked like that and program it to mindlessly follow a script to move along a certain path, move it's parts in certain way, play certain sound clips at specific times etc. but it would be a fairly expensive so they likely faked it for the movie and made it remote control.
Dolph Lungren is a Swedish actor. He was a black belt in kyokushin karate and has a masters degree in chemical engineering. Hes kind of a genius.
This is the one I've been waiting for
I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid. Full on jingoism bollix but what a film
Back in the 1980s this robot was a special device made by International Robotics, Inc, in New York City. No robots in the 1980s could do the types of things this robot appears to do back in this movie. They must have preprogrammed specific sequences of moves for the robot to perform for each take. That means the robot was "acting" in this movie. That was enough to earn the robot a SAG card and it actually became a member of the Screen Actors Guild. If robot butlers were actually a thing 37 years ago, we would have very human androids as commonplace appliances today. There are some robotics research labs working on this, but you can't actually buy on for your home. I honestly don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Ayyy thx for the subtitles:)
Of course Rocky says goodbye to Adrian before leaving for Russia. Its such a given they don't even need to show it.
1:46 You know someone was meant to be a boxer when they laugh like Frank Bruno!!
Be sure to include reacting to both "Creed" movies also, they tie into the Rocky series of films

23:32 "i fight for ME"
Is not just about countries superpowers. Is Individualism vs collectivism. And individualism wins, independent of sides
Paulie is so ungrateful.
And, no, we didn't have robot servants.
19:52 "Hello, Russia. I am Rocky Balboa. I am very shiny. You may have to wear _sunglasses_ when you look at me."
Jail is not an option here: Death has happened before in boxing (and a lot of other sports). Unfortunately here, Drago did exactly what he was supposed to do: beat Appollo up. he did it so "well" that Creed died. but in the sporting world, that is considered an accident, not worth jail time.
According to precedent, Rocky or the referee would be more likely to go to jail, because they both saw how bad of a state Appollo was in but didn't stop the fight. it was their job to make sure it didn't go too far, not Drago's
The referee is the one responsible here.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Drago pushed the referee away when he tried to stop the fight and carried on punching Apollo.
In boxing & mma, there are no criminal charges brought to the fighters if another fighter dies as long as all the rules are followed. If anything, the referee might be in trouble for not stopping the fight, but again, no charges or jail time. The fighters new the risk when they stepped into the ring.
Seen a documentary about the movies and this one supposedly was described as the most electrifying fight scenes ever captured in cinematic history and yes dolph Lundgren who played drago was a professional fighter
yea, i remember they were selling mostly small white robots like that in the 80s for hundreds of dollars, but you could get big ones for thousands, but people would only get the cheaper ones
10:12 Such a caring man, that reporter.
Great reaction, Miss!
Even when you sign up for a boxing gym, you sign up and the gym has no responsibility for your death
Oh yeah, the robot is Pulsar. He used to be the mascot at the dance club I used to goto in Philadelphia called Pulsations. RUclips has done videos of pulsar at the club.
Dolph Lundgren isn't even Russian, he's from Sweden but he played a Russian in this movie.
Okay Duaffy, this whole movie comes down to one thing: East vs West. For a very long, there has always been a rivalry, some may even say "hatred" for the Soviet Union amongst the Western nations. Steroid use by Soviet athletes was something they denied, but there have been so many cases where the entire Soviet or Russian team was banned from participating in events. This movie came out during the Cold War, and sentiments on both sides were fairly accurately depicted. Who had the better athletes? All that changed during the 1980 Winter Olympics, when the USA Men's Ice Hockey team went up against the Soviet Men's team...and beat them. Most people alive during that time will remember The Miracle on Ice, when the USA team consisting of strictly amateur hockey players (mostly college hockey players), beat the Soviet team of professional players.
For many years during the Cold War, it was always believed that there would be a WW3 with the Soviet Union. The animosity showed by the crowd in the first fight between Apollo and Drago, really existed in the public opinion. Same goes for Soviet attitude of Rocky vs Drago, in Russia. Rocky's comments at the end of the fight were really a political statement, that it was better to have one guy beating another in competition, than having a World War where so many would die.
Fighters have died in boxing 🥊 and during the era the movie was filmed in 1985 it was the reason they changed fights from 15 rounds down to 12 and a few years later down to 10 but when you sign up for boxing ( men punching) it's implied that a person could die. Outside of the ring boxers hands are registered as legal weapons.
Nope. Many in my family were boxers, I have Black Sashes in 3 different styles of Wing Chun kung-fu and a Weapons Master rank and there is no governing body that requires hands to be registered. That is an old wives tale and has never been true.
"I feel so sorry for Apollo's family". This is not the last time you see them....
12:05 At that point it's a licensed and sanctioned fight by whatever gaming commission that governs fights in that state. There are legal immunities that come with it. There are certainly sports legalists who can explain this better than I, but dying in the ring is a matter of occupational hazard at that point, rather than mere legally actionable assault.
Really have to watch the director's cut!
Bert Young, *Paulie*, was actually a boxer in real life.
Strange but true: the actress playing Drago’s wife, Brigitte Nielsen, married Sylvester Stallone the month after this movie’s release. They divorced two years later.
She also slept with Arnold.
11:20 “I do have to say like they depicted the country a little bit too bad”…Uhh where u been the last 8 months? 😂
In order to own a boxing licensee, You have to sign a disclaimer saying your opponent will be exempt with being charged with any kind of crime for beating and possibly murdering you in the ring. Even if Drago could be held responsible as the referee tried to step in and Drago pushed him aside, odds are Drago had Diplomatic Immunity. And even if he was arrested it would have triggered the biggest international crisis since Russia tried to ship it’s misiles to Cuba. Which is why Rocky not only wasted no time challenging him, but officially resigned his Heavyweight Tittle as the boxing commission did not sanction him fighting Drago. No doubt why the fight was held in The Soviet Union.
This movie is a favorite of mine. Gracias Duaffy for your reaction.
Drago, Dolph Lundgren, is a multiple time world champion kick boxer. 4th degree black belt with and a masters in chemical engineering, not to mention a Hollywood movie star!
“I hope it won’t end bad” lol😂😂😂
Rocky 5 I think is misunderstood, But rocky 6 AKA rocky Balboa is one of my favorites
All contact sports are dangerous. The athletes assume the risks everytime they compete. Deaths in a legal competition will never be prosecuted in the United States. How would someone know how hard or not to hit somebody else? Great review though. Keep up the great work. 👍
