"I have to prove it."
"Prove what?"
"I'm not a mistake."
That is one of my favorite dialog exchanges in the entire Rocky/Creed cinematic universe.
Same
Great moment
When Creed opened, Ryan Coogler did an interview with Deadline where he talked about how he grew up on the Rocky movies, watching them with his dad. His dad got sick at one point, and he was really struck by seeing this guy who he thought of as a large and imposing figure cut down by disease. The great ending to this story is that Coogler's father recovered from his illness and got to see the Rocky movie his son made.
Even if it was more coincidence than intentional, I also love the way Coogler and Stallone's relationship naturally had to mimic Adonis and Rocky's. Stallone believed Rocky Balboa had been the end of the series, and then this younger guy comes to him with this project and has to convince him to come out of retirement to play the mentor figure both in the movie and outside of it. On the more intentional side, I think it's brilliant that the movie finds a way to make Adonis's arc the inverse of Rocky's. Rocky thinks of himself as a nobody and just wants to feel like he's made a name for himself, that he's a somebody. Normally it might be challenging to frame Adonis as having the same problem, given the resources he has at his fingertips thanks to Maryanne, but by making him a child that Apollo had out of wedlock, they find a way to give Adonis a rough-and-tumble background and also create an obvious reason why he would feel he didn't *earn* those things, and thus, like Rocky, he feels undeserving and has to prove himself.
Sage had already passed by the time the movie was made, and I think using that picture of Sage when talking about Robert -- and this might have even been confirmed -- added a layer to Stallone's performance in that scene, being sad that Robert is no longer nearby.
Stallone has said that Robert Chartoff, the producer who is memorialized in the credits here, was the one of the Chartoff-Winkler team he trusted and loved. He has claimed in recent interviews that Winkler is determined to milk the Rocky IP for everything he can, which is to some degree supported by the fact that they're working on a Drago movie without Stallone's involvement.
thats a cool story..Rocky movies are one of a kind
Wow this is so beautiful! I didn't even know this thanks for sharing ❤
Stallone won a golden globe for his performance in this movie! Well deserved!
Congrats on Sylvester Stallone for winning the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his role in this movie
I don’t think there were any anime influences with creed 1 and 2 in the fights. But creed 3 has a lot
Of course there wasn't. Michael didn't write and direct those.
Yeah the first 2 didnt have any realy anime influence, but Jordan did state that he input on the fight choreography a bit because they wanted to make sure he felt comfortable in the movements. So he possibly sprinkled in some anime influence in some of the exchanges.
Creed 3 was straight up Goku v Vegeta
The simple fact that people are suggesting anime influence in a MOVIE like this is funnier than hell. If it were the Poiwer Rangers Movie, then I'd be ok with it. And if you want to argue with my statement, that ius fine, you have that right. But me, I am keeping my opinions. I would be surprised if you did the same. Just disappointed. LOL
@@donnilloyd1355 I mean Creed III has explicit anime references and themes. Live action can and does draw thematic elements from other mediums of film and television
I love that rocky immediately corrects himself when he says him and creed aren't a real family. He knows he did wrong as soon as he does it
There weren't any anime influences in this film, or "Creed II". That wouldn't come until "Creed III", where Michael B. Jordan makes his directorial debut, citing his love of anime for his creative choices during the fight scenes.
Specifically Hajime No Ippo and Dragonball.
“You think he’s nervous about training him cause of Tommy Gunn?”
Yes, he ABSOLUTELY is. That’s one of the things I loved the most about the Creed movies, not only are they AMAZING films in their own right, but they also retroactively make all of the Rocky films even better. Just wait till Creed 2. You’ll never look at Rocky 4 the same way again.
Actually, didn't Rocky Balboa and Creed basically write out rocky 5. Its never mentioned or hinted at.
Ludwig always works with Ryan! He did the Black Panther films and won Best Original Score for Black Panther. Ryan Coogler is my absolute favorite filmmaker. I've seen this film many times (also a long time MBJ fan). I love the emotion and the pacing. The dialogue feels real. The camera choices really put you in the film, like those tracking shots.
He also did Fruitvale Station with Michael B Jordan..that film was a banger too..Coogle is a talented Dude..hope he takes a break from Black Panther and does something else..i didnt love last Black Panther unlike the first but i think with Chadwick passing (R.I.P) he had to rewrite the whole script to quickly shoot the film and it kind of shows which i dont think it was easy to do..
Dwyane Ludwig?
@@garydodd2837 and they also shot during Covid and had to apply a lot of the social distance rules on set and stuff like a lot of it. He basically had to make a sequel with his hands tied behind his back blindfolded lol and it still wasn’t all that bad, it was just ok. Namor saved it in my
Opinion
They tryna make him like connor McGregor? More like tryna make him like Tony Bellew.
Normies have no clue concerning anything sports related
Tyson Fury
@@donemu9096 you know he is played by Tony Bellew, former champion boxer right?
@@donemu9096 That's literally former professional boxer Tony Bellew lol
Conor is southpaw
Michael B. Jordan's 2nd film with Ryan Coogler after Fruitvale Station (2013).
Coogler would ultimately get the job to direct Marvel Studios' Black Panther after the success of Creed.
MBJ gives a great performance with a good supporting cast around him.
The script, camera work, choreography for the fights, etc; does not dissapoint.
Stallone as Rocky just endures more and more.
He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in this movie.
It was the 2nd time he'd ever been nominated as the character and he won the Golden Globe for it.
The backbone that is The Rocky Saga must be acknowledged as the way of understanding how we get here from way back when.
Creed was the spinoff that nobody saw coming and afterwards we couldn't wait for more.
RIP to Tony Burton (Duke Evers) and Sylvia Meals (the original Mary Anne Creed/Johnson).
The use of Jawns EXPLODED after this. I remember 2017 listening to a baseball game that had a ticket promotion that came with a promotion being 'First jawn on us' and the color commentator had no idea what it was.
People used it before, but it was way more niche before this (especially in marketing)
Yeah, so Stallone didn't have any creative input other than tweaking his dialogue in the script to be more authentically "Rocky". Ryan Coogler was the one who came up with the idea of Apollo having an illegitimate son who turns to Rocky to help build a pro-boxing career. He had the idea, as he grew up watching the "Rocky" movies with his father, who would end up facing his own health issues. Coogler had to pitch and sell the idea to Stallone, who already was content with the success of "Rocky Balboa". He would eventually get an Oscar nomination for best-supporting actor, and would win the Golden Globe for best supporting-actor for reprising the role of Rocky. Stallone would end up having more hands-on control in "Creed II", as he has a story and screenwriting credit, before bowing out completely for "Creed III" due to his issues with producer Irwin Winkler. Stallone has said that he is open to returning to the franchise for potential "Creed" sequels, but only under the condition that Winkler isn't involved.
The Rocky/Creed Saga is a monumental achievement off film.
All of the extras in the creed franchise are legit boxers. Pulling every punch and just pretending they got hit.
That is all the punches except for the slow mo shots. Those where real punches with the boxers still holding back and only using 20%
Multiple world champions even. Andre Ward and Tony Bellew.
Yeah I remember reading that Michael B Jordan asked for a real punch once... and got knocked out cold lol
@@KS-xk2soYeah and the punch that knocked him out still was just a 60% punch 💀💀
It always makes me laugh that some reactors I’ve seen have referred to some of the opponents (both in “Rocky Balboa” and the “Creed” movies), as not looking like they can fight or be good enough to take on either Rocky or Adonis… and yet those opponents are the ones who are ACTUAL real-life boxers.
@@thedefinitionisthis And to be fair, even Carl Weathers was a boxer as a teenager, along with a bunch of other sports, mainly football. In fact, I can't actually think of an opponent in the series that didn't have at least some martial arts background, even if it was as a kid/teenager. Carl Weather boxed, Mr. T supposedly took martial arts as a kid, Dolph Lundgren is a karate black belt, Tommy Morrison was the WBO heavyweight champion, Antonio Tarver was the WBC, WBA, IBF and Ring light heavyweight champion, Andre Ward was a unified champion in two weight classes and the pound for pound #1 fighter in the world at one point, Gabriel Rosado fought for the middleweight title twice, Tony Bellew was the WBC cruiserweight champion, apparently Florian Munteanu boxed in Germany, and Jose Benevidez fought for the welterweight title. I think Jonathan Majors might be the only one with no formal fight training.
I don't know why but it makes me so happy that this group just loves this franchise. No cynicism, just love for the themes.
It now makes sense why Apollo was confident and wanted to fight Drago it is because he beat Rocky in the third fight
Y'all are so weird about Marie as a character. Her friendship with Rocky was never hinted at being anything more than a surrogate father-daughter type relationship.
Had a chance to ask Ryan Coogler after a special screening was the one shot fight scene really all one take, and it was. They spent days rehearsing it before they started shooting it
Stallone wrote all his own dialogue. Same in the next Creed.
I think whats cool is that Stallone won an Oscar for best screenplay he wrote for first film and although he didnt write or Direct Crees...For this new beginning to a new Rocky story he got an Oscar Nomination again but for Best Supporting Actor..he didnt win but still..he also deserved it that year but im sure the nomination was enough for him..Not winning the title but giving his best just to be in the fight...Class movie!
I saw Michael B Jordan in an interview with Graham Norton and he said that Stallone told him that they needed a slow motion shot of him getting punched for that last match where he’s knocked out then wakes up and because it was slow motion it had to be a real punch. He was unsure about doing it but after Stallone said they all had to take one real shot in the past movies so he agreed to do it. The boxer doing the punching said he’s only going like 40% of his real punch, they do it and when playing it back the boxers glove blocked the camera and they had to do it again. They have a behind the scenes shot of him taking the punch.
They keep bringing up anime influences when there weren't any anime influences until the third one, the one MBJ directed.
At the end fo the day there's tons of themeatic and technical overlap between action in live action and in animation. The use of one-shot fights is very similar to the use of sakuga in animation.
@@tregarnett4595 K. I mean that's not why they keep comparing it to anime.
When I saw this in the theater with my dad, seeing my his reaction to the “I’m not a mistake” was one of probably five times I’ve ever seen him cry.
Still talking like Rocky and Marie was in a romantic relationship clueless as always 😂
I forgot how freaking incredible this movie is and how emotional it is too quite unexpectedly...i remember watching this movie for the first time and when Adonis said he wants to prove he wasn't a mistake, i got so emotional and cried right there..absolute incredible movie
Pretty Ricky's entrance...GOATED
The fighter against creed was tony bellew , who had a rocky story of his own, and the unbeaten fighter was the undefeated andre ward.
Not sure if anybody mentioned it yet, but since you guys are currently watching the show, Ricky Conlan’s manager was played by Graham McTavish, who voices Dracula in Castlevania!
Man seeing this in the theater was one of my best experiences. They all did a great job! And it's a good spinoff to the iconic Rocky franchise.
30:00 you can say it's phenomenal thanks to the original Rocky legacy.
Marie and rockys relationship was not romantic! And these lot are still making digs.
Was in Philly last year. Had 2 cheesesteaks. One was great. One was disappointing. Rana's fight reactions - priceless!
One of my favorite intros ever. The clinched fist the entire time after fighting until he asked about his father and queue....
she cooler than Adrian, strike one. Much better boxing no getting punched in the face strike 2
when you guys started the rocky series, this was the film i couldn't wait for you to watch. love the reaction! 🥊
I never understood the part where she says, "You assaulted the headliner to my show" and he doesn't come back with, "Your headliner threatened my life right in front of you, because I asked him not to call me a nickname I didn't like. Did you miss that part?".
"Let's get to the stairs!" lol 🔥
Having filmed with with the cast and crew, I can tell you that it was an amazing experience and to see it all come to life was even greater. Oh and fun fact, all of the boxers in the movie really are professional, and another fun fact, Adonis first official fight with Leo “The Lion” (real name Gabriel) was all one shot. It took about 20 takes to get it right. But the director Ryan Coogler( who also directed Black panther) wanted a one shot fight scene…oh and the cheesesteak place that they were eating at was Max’s in North Philly. The one you guys were talking about eating was Genos and Pats in South Philly. “Jawn” takes the place of a noun, btw😂
Another fun fact: Because Ryan Coogler was busy with Black Panther and the marvel universe stuff, he allowed one of his good friend Steve Caple direct Creed 2. Steve did such a great job, that he’s now Directing the new Transformers movie coming out soon.
23:04 I love how it’s cut just before the white boy lmao
the guy that play Danny wheeler is retire undefeated boxer in real life his name is Andre ward
Little Marie and rocky were just friends
Im a fan of ur channel but stop this Lil Marie shit, Marie is a woman who Rock helped cause he is a good guy from the neighbourhood that is humble and cares..thats it..nothing else was goin on..Stop Disrespecting Adrians name! Not the actress the character..😂🤔
My favorite movie out of the entire franchise
This movie gave me my theme song.....tell em don't waste my time!!! 💯 Saw this three times in theaters....iconic.
"now you guys care about Paulie" Pat. Laughing loud here 🤣🤣🤣
JAWN is a Philly thing you wouldn't understand.
If you want more boxing films after you're done with the other two Creed movies, I highly recommend Cinderella Man.
Amazing love letter to Ricky while doing it's own thing. I Look so forward to the Creed 2 from you all :)
Hey Normies, im glad u got to this movie, so damn good, definitely one of my Favourite Rocky movies..Coogler always kills it, Jordan was so good in this role and the chemistry between the leads..So good..
Tatake coming from Ashita No Joe which is a boxing anime and saying it for Creed is perfect.
Lmao first time hearing Normies say jawn 😂😂😂 god i love my city
No Micki…..no. The places you’re thinking about that are across the street from each other are Pat’s and Gino’s which are in south Philly and are basically tourist traps. They are at Max’s in north Philly which is real authentic cheesesteaks.
Hey yo, so the "spots that are right across from one another" are Pat's and Geno's. They're the touristy spots with mid-level cheesesteaks. Where they went was Max's. Max's is regarded as one of the top spots HOWEVER it's located in a deeply crime-affected black section of the city, so it's little known to non-black folks
One of my favorite things about this movie is how it showcases Philly and its grit the same as Rocky did. However, because it does so with a black lead, it shows Philly throw a more black lens: Max's, the soundtrack, dirt bike kiddies, the music culture, and "jawn" (which - although a Philly-wide term - originated from our regional ebonics)
Not to spoil too much, but I was a little disappointed with how Creed 2 took focus away from Philly since these movies mean so god damn much to us, but it was still a solid movie. Doesn't stand up to this unfortunately (it's a lot more heavy-handed with the callbacks) but I still expect Creed 3 to be solid
“This is anime” wait til you get to the third one 😂🔥
I am loving Navi's ensemble in this one!
fun fact michael b. jordan actually got knocked out during shooting because he didn’t slip the punch in time
Thats not accurate, they intentionally knocked him out. There are tons of interviews with him an Stallone and they talk about him taking the punch intentionally and there is even behind the scenes footage shot by Stallone of the knockout. You can find it here on RUclips.
@@NikstSWE you’re right had to watch the clip again my bad 😅
@@dsampsonite541
the clip is reposted a thousand times every single year. its hard not to see it lol
@@dsampsonite541 no worries 🙂
If you ever think the action in a fight in this series is unrealistic, just watch Micky Ward vs Arturo Gatti, specifically round 9. Or Tommy Hearns vs Marvin Hagler round 1.
I came for Creed from the office. He is in the parking lot by now.
There were no Anime influenced fights in Creed 1 & 2 its only for the 3th one
It's not a great thing but it's a fact of life. There are a lot of children born
From affairs especially athletes.
So it happens.
The actor that trains Leo Sporino played Pope in The Walking Dead
There's an old-school style of story telling in Creed that just doesn't exist in most movies today. Everything today tries to be "subversive" or whatever. This is just pure quality. Really really good stuff.
Ricky Conlon who he fights is real boxer Tong Bellew, the guy he was suppose to fight but broke his jaw, who Adonis got knocked out by in the gym is Andre Ward and the guy who’s the son of dude at nicks, Adonis first real fight under Rocky, is Leo Santa Cruz. All great boxers
Um, it's Gabriel Rosado, not whoever Leo Santa Cruz is...
27:25 Actual knockout!
Rana's tears is my favorite part of the reaction lol Happy late birthday babe.
Stallone sold the Franchise, he has basically has been cut out anything other than playing Rocky anymore by the owner. And as of late, he's been cut out of even that in Creed III. Stallone has posted some beef against those owners on his social and in media.
I can’t wait til CREED 6 where he goes back in time to fight Rocky when they’re both at their prime 😂
Not sure if anyone’s said this, but “jawn” is a derivative of “joint”, which is a pretty much slang for for the exact same thing… a noun lol.
Creed is in my opinion the best movie in the whole franchise 💙
The beauty of all of these movies. The boxing isnt the story. Theyre about the internal struggle of life. Stallone is something else.
Rashaad is awesome too
Verse 1
There’s more to even bring to the boxing ring than them gloves,
One hit and one point, you never wanna end up doing the runs,
The only thing you have to do is use your hands, heart and even guns,
The whole mind keeps it steady when ever you have something coming up,
I’m sure, that I can beat these titles
Making it more difficult than any rival
I’m sure, that I can beat these titles
Verse 2
Where does the word comes when ever you hit or miss the mark,
I see the whole runnings man it’s a whole different when in the park,
I see the elephant in the room. Man it’s gonna be all torn right apart,
See the only thing that hits with a lot more isn’t whenever you have art,
creed 2 is one of my fav boxing movies so excited for you guys to watch it!!!
The Black Panther director wrote and directed this movie and that is why it is the best Creed movie and up there with Rocky 1 and Rocky 2 in the entire franchise
Cant wait for ya'll to react to Creed 2 !
Wait for Creed II for the emotion to really really hit...
I love y’all reactions
Creed series is phenomenal
29:52
31:56 micky died, Apollo was killed, Adrian died and now in this scene they suddenly cry and get emotional?
Wtf is wrong with this Generation?
Tony bellow is a actual world boxing champion STRAIGHT FROM LIVERPOOL LAD
I love how passionate and emotional these films get. Totally hip.
You could not have this "Phenomenal " as you put it movie if it were not for the first Rocky movie. While I understand your opinion because you can relate more with the time etc. The first Rocky movie was superior to this. Better Character development and story.
It's still a DAMN shame, Stallone didn't get an academy award for this....
I hope conlan got safe back to his wife&kids
If you know you know
This is exactly the reason why we NEED Stallone back if Creed 4 ever happens....
I’m surprised they didn’t recognize Andre Ward 🥊
weeks later but HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANA!!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like to think that Donnie was hyping Rocky at the end of the training montage:
“May I introduce, with a record of 57 wins (54 by KO), 24 losses, and 1 draw: the two-time Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, the Fighting Pride of Philadelphia, the Italian Stallion, ROCKY BALBOA.”
The original actress who played Maryann passed away.
Happy Birthday my April 12!th sista! ( also my day of birth ) We Rock! But u already know that🎂🌠🌸
Happy "belated" Birthday Rana have an awesome day and here is to many more years❤🎉
Danny wheeler is future hall of fame boxer Andre Ward. Bay Area legend 🔥🔥
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉🎂🍧🍨
This was a good reaction
Awww happy birthday 😊🎉
The 'John' means in my part of the world, slang for toilet so yeah different spelling but funny for me when she said it😂😂😂😂
"Jawn" not "John" and pronounced like "yawn" or "lawn".
Happiest of belated birthdays to you, Rana. You’re my favorite.
Happy belated birthday Rana 👑🎂Wishing you nothing but happiness 😊
Hard disagree about the cheese steaks. The one's I think that Mickey talks about in this vid are Geno's and Pats. They're extremely overrated and tourist bait. They tasted like school cafeteria food. Like steak-ums.
I think I went there when my high school band went to Philadelphia in 2007. Those things were $12 and dry as a bone. Massive disappointment.
There is ONE TIME when Pats is acceptable: it's 3-4am and stumbling home drunk from South Street. Geno's has good fries too... aaand that's about it.
I'd normally say Jim's if it's gotta be a tourist trap - but really ANYWHERE but those two places for some good ones.
Fun fact Michael B Jordan actually got knocked out by a punch filming this
