Hear more about Rocky Dennis from his mother, Rusty Dennis Mason, in this interview from 1985:
• Rusty Dennis on People...
I can’t remember a movie as beautiful and as sad as this one.
No one could've played Rusty...excep Cher. She was absolutely impeccable at nailing Rusty's strong and determined personality.
The fact that use Bob Seger instead of Bruce Springsteen rings true to me because in all the biker days I remember Bob Seger sticks out not Bruce Springsteen
@justaskmike4602. Same here, and it was this movie that introduced me to Bob Seger making me a Hardcore fan.
Bobs music fit perfectly for this movie. Brucy did not .
@@courseofvirtue True that.
In memory of Rocky it should have been Bruce. As far as his mother said he didn't even know who Bob was. He loved Bruce.
@@RobRoyR8R True but Springsteen songs are usually about cars. Seeger often sang about riding motorcycles. More important Springsteen demanded points on the VHS sales which was unprecedented. Seeger simply wanted a flat $50K fee which was standard at the time.
His mother said they always listened to Bruce Springsteen and had not heard of Bob Seger, however the music in the movie Mask is perfect
Could not agree more. I love every single thing about this movie and wouldn't change a thing.
Saw this movie as a 6 year old and was afraid of the dark for a decade because I knew that he was real. Grateful to revisit now as a 40+ year old father and be able to have empathy to rocky and his rusty! 🙏🏾❤️
This is the best Cher Movie ever, so beautiful but also so sad 😭 the mask
Ricky’s story is so sad yet interesting and inspiring. The making of the film is so intriguing as well. Cher is fantastic as Rusty. It’s an amazing movie.
Bob Seager's "Roll me away" seems perfect for the ending of the film in my opinion. I learnd of that song and Bob Seager, because of the movie. Hugh Fan of his now.
Saw the director's cut with the Springsteen songs, and it made no sense. Even if Rocky died the year on the tombstone in the movie (which is wrong) the Springsteen songs used weren't released until after Rocky's actual death.
I was 15 when this movie released. I cried.
l remember this movie it was a nice movie and sad. Rocky was a beautiful human being and a nice kid. wats important was inside not the outside. He was a wonderful kid and had a amazing life who had lots of friends that care. REST IN PEACE ROCKY ur with ur mom in heaven.
Cher looked beautiful, Sam Elliot is sexy as hell, and the acting was great. Loved the movie.
Moustache rides 🤣😂😅
ill say it again she should have gotten an Oscar nomination
Chers always been the it girl. Madonna doesn't have shit on her.
Man some serious animosity between Cher and Peter. Both great at what they do and am glad they were able to come together to do make such a great film.
Fascinating backstory. Also, your voice is very soothing.
Thank you!
Anybody who knows The Boss also knows that he had nothing to do with what his asshole record company did. Everyone pointed the accusing finger at Bruce, but he loved the film and was going to donate his share of the profits to Rusty Dennis.
Talk is cheap .
@@lindalarsson1436 so are you.
Did his mom get to see the Bruce Springsteen one I hope she did ?!
My favorite Cher movie -- where can it be seen in streaming?
Fun Facts: Cher's academy hairstyle should be credited to the soulful singer, Pattie Labelle.
This is my favorite movie. However I love the theaterical more than the director cut. The added scenes with Cher singing was too showbizlike. and Reds funeral was foreshadowing Rocky's death so it wasn't much of a surprise. The Bob Segar music made the movie make more sense. Katmandu was perfect as well as the emotional ending. Bruce Springsteen not so much. It's hard to find the original production. It's better and fits better and is more special.
Outstanding summary and thank you for standing up for this film in its greatest form.
I was lucky enough to find one at Goodwill and I’m like oh please let the Bob Seger music be on here and it was
I first saw this movie in the 80’s when it came out on cable. Probably HBO due to the fact that this was the only premium channel on my local cable at that time. For many years I had only seen this film with Bob Seeger’s music playing. I haven’t seen it in almost 20 years as of last year. I couldn’t find it on any cable or streaming channels to watch. I decided to look for it on sale on Amazon. When I finally got it I was excited to watch. It made me a fan of Cher’s acting, but was confused and upset when I heard Bruce Springsteen instead of Bob Seeger. That was almost half of the reason that I loved the movie so much. I almost threw it away, but I haven’t. I also haven’t watched it since I bought it around three years ago. I’ve been looking all over the internet for someone that is selling it with the Bob Seeger soundtrack to no avail. I hope to find it sometime in the near future. I’ll be 58 on Tuesday and as I approach 60 I find myself thinking of my demise. I’m not fearful. I just realize that I’m far passed middle aged 😅.
I totally sympathize. I like another movie where the soundtrack was tampered with. It shouldn't be allowed. At least it shouldn't be allowed to exclusively replace the original soundtrack.
I liked the Seeger music as well.
I noticed after watching it yesterday that there was Bruce Springsteen music in it. I also noticed the "Little Egypt" song in there. I don't remember that in the main cut I had seen previously but I could be wrong on that.
Also, Did we all forgive Jane Fonda at some point or another? Her photo-op with Vietcong soldiers is the reason I have hated her my whole life. Taking photos with commies who killed American soldiers and then putting down capitalism while promoting communism at the same time is her M.O. and never again will I watch anything she's in. Did you see what she said on the view in regards to people that don't vote left? Murder them? She was serious when she said it and I believe someone needs to confront her.
You will be fearful when it's too late...
Better call on JESUS NOW

DESPERATION
They changed it, because according to Rusty, Rocky loved Bruce and didn't know the music of Bob. Rusty said it wasn't appropriate to use music that didn't honor Rocky
Watched one version today with Bruce's music . The stream froze so I found another one with segers music in it . Bruce's hit harder . Cher and stolz were amazing in that movie . Also gar has a t.shirt on that says moustache rides which is infinity funny 😁
Beautiful 🥰❤️
I remember this movie coming out in 1982. Mandella effect in progress here.
Am i the only one that feels like Hannibal Lector narrated this video?
Fabulous movie. Touching story. Rest in peace, Rocky.
Not the only one...
But,
Try "AM"
Itll make more sense😢
The real life Rocky wasn't buried in a cemetery. His body was donated to science.
Great movie. I showed it to my kids friends when they all were in high school
Beautiful movie. Great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cher was the glue, Cher was amazing, but she always is.
It wasn't Bruce himself it was "his ppl" and they wanted him because he was Rocky's favorite musician ...
So if rocky Dennis died in 1978 why does his grave say 1980 in the movie?
This is speculation on my part -- but I think it's because of the Bruce Springsteen soundtrack. Two of the songs that Bogdanovich included hadn't even been recorded while Rocky was alive. If Springsteen was included because he was (supposedly) Rocky's favorite singer, then it wouldn't make sense to include "The River", which was released two years after his death. -- Damion @ FrontRow
Really she a Harley honey 😂
Cher is beautiful.. a different lookin woman,more different than any other
As a gay boy I thought she is the most beautiful woman and person.
Bruce Springsteen’s original contract with Mike Appel was terrible and probably was the main holdup.
I don’t think people realize how little control music artists in the 1970s had of their music.
Nah moonstruck was
Click Bait, Springsteen did nothing here, RUclipsrs try to stir up Bs for clicks, a Mask video was and is a good story by itself
I guess working class advocate Bruce Springsteen wasn’t feeling too generous. Capitalism is evil unless it’s a movie soundtrack he can own for himself. Go Bob Seger!!
Who knew Bruce was such a hardcore capitalist?
Anyway, the movie is fairly factual, but also very much Hollywoodized (according to the real Rusty).
I m sorry maybe i dont get it , bruce springsteen wrote these songs sang these song made these song famous and when used in a siund track of a movie only wanted 25% and gifted people who contributed nothing to these song 75% and he was unreasonable ....... I can hel but wonder now cher had to fight sonnys widow for song rights if she still feels the same
Peter Bogdanovich was a know-it-all and creepy jew.
Lmao
Tacky!
Actually she is quite a GOOD actor. Her attire though??????
Envious!
And are you the epitome of class Ms. Basic Karen?
@@BoDray….Actually, if I were to envy anyone it would be someone with class and intellect like Abigail Adams and Marie Currie….two women that I admire deeply!
@@romanikkoralph1553 My family would say NOT, but I’m hardly a basIc Karen! 🤮 are you a basic Ken? Not very wise to make BASIC assumptions.
@@interrupted9671 oh dear I'm hardly one or I have no plans to be one. You however have no class and a unevolved troglodyte 😎
My kids asked me how he got like that & I told them because he didn't eat his vegetables. 🥦🥕🌽
You have GOT to be a gen x’er
I've seen versions of this film that actually did have Bruce Springsteens music. Don't know how they pulled that off but it confused me.
Yes, there was a later Director's Cut for DVD, at which point they had agreed to let the Springsteen music in.
That's great. .
Cher's best movie was 'Moonstruck'.
I disagree.
Really good movie.
Witches of Eastwick. She was so sensual in that.
Mask, imo.
I was really touched by her performance in Mask
Why tf is this considered a Cher leading roll film? Did not Eric Stoltz play the lead character whom the film is even titled after?
Do you know that for 100+ years films usually have a
Male
and
Female
LEAD ROLE...
That is...
if we still know what a man and a woman are.
