I'll say what I always say - There is NO way a sixth film in a franchise has any right to be THIS good. Absolutely wonderful film.
I absolutely agree. I didn't love how the actual fight was shot or the broken hand thing, but overall the movie is brilliant.
I mean, it's called a boxers break for a reason, so it's not too outlandish in my opinion.
Stallone said that crowds of people turned out to watch when they were filming and would yell "Hey Rock!" to him, and he said that they didn't come t see Sylvester Stallone, they came to see Rocky. That's how much the character has touched and inspired people in their real lives.
"What is it you said to the kid? It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. Get up!"
Fun Fact: Pedro Lovell reprises his role as Spider Rico, the boxer defeated by Rocky in the opening scene of Rocky (1976).
Authentic Battle Damage Fact: The bout between Rocky and Dixon was filmed with actors Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Tarver really hitting one another. According to Stallone, not a single punch in the fight was pulled and every hit on film was a hit for real. Furthermore, Stallone has revealed that the scene where Rocky is knocked down for a 9 count, and is trying to get to his feet by taking hold of the rope, but is having difficulty focusing on it, is completely genuine; Tarver really did knock him down, and he really couldn't get up.
Location Location Fact: During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out. Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup. As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor, whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd. Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began a "ROCKY, ROCKY" chant. The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters.
There's a deleted scene with Paulie in the alley behind Adrian's restaurant that you should check out. It's on RUclips & I think it's one of his best scenes in the series. I wish they hadn't cut it actually.
I still don't understand how they could cut it
I highly recommend you now to see the "Creed" saga. It´s a perfect continuation... done with quality, love and respect.
Literally a perfect spin-off
The singer Adele now owns the Rocky statue. After she purchased Stallones home, the statue was part of the deal. They filmed 2 seperate endings to this movie to keep the crowd from knowing the ending. The other one has Rocky winning, its on youtube somewhere
It's worth noticing that every Rocky movie matches Stallone's career at that specific point. He never planned to do any sequel in the first place, like Rocky never planned to fight again.
* Rocky * : Nobody would give Stallone a chance as a lead actor, he was often playing the thug in a minor role. He wanted to prove the studios wrong.
* Rocky II * : Stallone becomes a movie star, being compared to De Niro, etc... But after Rocky, the few movies he had done failed to impress and critics assumed they had bet on the wrong horse. Stallone had to take his revenge and hit harder this time.
* Rocky III * : After Rocky II, he makes a few decent movies, but critics find his acting range too limited, the man of one movie. Stallone is artistically lost and undecided. How to decently use that fame? Could his gentrification cost him his career?
* Rocky IV * : After Rambo 1 & 2, he's one of the biggest movie star in the world. And he knows it. Stallone's megalomania is at its peak. Rocky doesn't fight for himself. He fights for the world.
* Rocky V * : Rambo III disappoints at the box office. Stallone returns to the character's humble origins, in order to focus on the basics: his own family - the family he is about to lose. Rocky's son is even played by his real son! Rocky was supposed to die in the final fight but the studio vehemently refused .
* Rocky Balboa * : After a couple of successes at the start of the 90s, Stallone makes one flop after another. His fame is declining. He's too old, he's over. It takes him 10 years - with the help of the 30th anniversary of the franchise - to convince a studio to produce a sequel. But people still love Stallone. The standing ovation at the end with the audience shouting Rocky's name was not planned and the emotional reaction from Stallone was real. The film is a nice success. Every dvd/blu-ray/UHD boxset sells like pancakes. And now we have the Creed trilogy. It ain't over 'til its over.
Wow, you put a lot into that. You’re obviously a true fan. Or a Stallone family member! 😂🤣
Beautifully said.
Though Creed trilogy, imho was a mistake. First Creed movie is really good... second - it was hot garbage and seeing where the franchise goes I haven't bothered watching 3rd
Your reactions are GREAT!
I always liked your companion on the sofa and she’s looking cool with the sunglasses 😎
The man doing the dishes in beginning of the film as well as the same man that said the prayer for Rock on the way to the ring’s name is Spider Rico. He’s the same man Rocky fought at the very beginning scene of the first film!
There’s a deleted scene after Paulie loses his job which REALLY should have been kept in. It completely humanises Paulie and you see how much he regrets a lot of his life and how much he loved his sister and Rocky. It’s actually heartbreaking to watch him break down
This is a great one. The sad part is the loss of Adrian. That is a major loss. Rocky Balboa has a lot of magic that was in the original film. It was worth watching. The ending fight ended with Rocky losing by split decision but he proved himself. However I found a alternate ending with Rocky winning!
Looking gorgeous, Aria! ❤ Congrats! You made it to the best entry since the first one!
Stallon is a great storyteller. Rocky Balboa is one of the greatest characters in cinema history. Thank you for your reactions to the Rocky films. You're great Aria!
Just finished watching all your Rocky reactions back to back. Your enthusiasm is great.
I think 99% of people were skeptical about this movie. Another Rocky movie with Rocky as an old man? And especially after pretty weak Rocky 5... But honestly, Stallone nailed it. Again. Beautiful ending
But the journey isn't over yet haha 😉
Good catch on the song at the beginning. It is indeed the same song that was sung by Frank Stallone (Sly's brother) on the street corner in the first film. It has appeared in a couple of other places. I believe it also starts the 2nd film but it's a different incarnation of it.
I love that Aria is a reactor who really understands Paulie's character. So refreshing.
I don't understand how you have just 14K subs. I watch a lot of reaction channels and you are one of my favorite. I like that you keep the commentary intelligent and don't over talk to scenes like some reactors. Your editing is also top notch! Keep at it, I'm sure you will grow big.
Rocky will always be a love story.
I simply adore how invested you’ve become in this Rocky journey.
Stallone wrote Adrian out of Rocky 6 because he had difficulty writing her into the story, especially with the relationship he had with his son in this movie. With her dying, it gave rocky more of a feeling of desperation
Sylvester Stallone said that he saw that a lot of ex-boxers opened up sports bars, night clubs, restaurants, places like that where their name would draw fans in and where they would mingle with the customers and entertain then with tales of their past glories in the ring, and as Stallone often did with things he learned about real boxers, he incorporated that into Rocky's character.
Sly learned a lot from real life fighters who were Actors in the Rocky (franchise) like Tommy Morrison and Dolph Lundgren!
Congratulations, Aria! You went the distance... 10 rounds with Rocky and you won the World Cinema Championship. 😅😊
🥊😂
@@ariachanson01 Maybe you will win a free bucket of popcorn by watching all the Rocky movies. Presented by Sylvester Stallone himself. LOL.
In my dreams😅
This is how you close out a franchise. Inspiring. All heart.
My favorite Rocky movie since the original. That speech gets me every time. Its some of the best writing and acting of Stallones career. That speech is one of the best, most anti-Communist speeches ive ever heard
The cameo by Mike Tyson was actually supposed to be Mr. T's Clubber Lang as a commentator on the fight. Unfortunately Mr. T was doing some reality show at the same time.
Totally worth it to check out the deleted scene with Paulie. It should have never been cut.
some Balboa movie facts, those turtles from the first of the movie are the same from Rocky 1, and they are his in real life, also the statue of him is there in real life, and please see paulie's deleted scene from this movie, all of these movies have fun facts to learn and deleted and even alternate scenes, it would be cool if you would watch the deleted scenes for a reaction video, or see them on your own,
Dixon broke his hand on Rocky's elbow. This injury does sometimes happen in boxing. I thought this was a very realistic way to make this fight believable. Please do a reaction to "Diggstown" 1992, another boxing movie that I think you would like if you haven't seen it yet.
I remember seeing this Rocky movie when it was in theaters. Happy to see you reacting to this Rocky movie
Nice Reaction
I am a fan-editor and I have TWO versions of this movie. Version 1 is "Rocky Balboa"...the film you just watched, but I have added the deleted scenes to make it an extended version. Version 2 is "Rocky VI"...which is the same as version 1 BUT I used the alternate ending instead of the theatrical ending.
Dixon broke his hand on Rocky's hip, it happens every so often.
34:09 Well, of course you're meant to root for Rocky, but you're also meant to empathize with Dixon. It's almost brilliant that Rocky is shown to be this extremely kind and caring person and that, although Dixon is Rocky's opponent, he's also one of the people Rocky ends up helping. Right from the beginning, we see that Dixon doesn't get the respect he wants from the public or from his managers (who, behind Dixon' back, say Rocky would have murdered him in his prime) and, in the heart to heart with his trainer, we see that even doubts himself because he hasn't been pushed. In his fight with Rocky, Dixon showed everyone, including himself, what he's made of, and he finally earned the respect and the self respect was looking for.
and Dixon himself wasnt an arrogant bad guy either, he had the decency to tell Rocky that getting hurt in the fight wasnt worth it, and just warned Rocky that if he play dirty or go too hard, he will respond in kind.
I remeber when I watched this movie with my dad in theaters almost 20 years ago... We went to the premier in mexico
Poor Minnie. Lookit her, having to sit there wearing sunglasses to hide the black eye Aria gave her during the last Rocky movie :(
We're all here for you, Minnie! Blink twice if you need help!
Love your reactions
I love this movie. It is my favorite of all the Rocky movies. Thank you, Aria, for sharing this one with us. 🙂
!!! Now: CREED 1 !!!
We all thought this was the perfect ending to the story arc... until Creed. Somehow, it gets even better from here.
Ii always crack up when rocky says dont hit me im brittle lol
Beautiful or not, it's still not the end of Rocky's story.
Love your review of my favourite rocky movie.😊.it took sly so long to get this movie accepted to be made . So his own personal achievement a great story to that. Thank you. 😊
Love your channel and your reactions keep up the fantastic work 💟
Creed is a worthy successor for Rocky. You'll enjoy it ✌️
For the record they moved the statue to preserve it from the elements. It's not at the top of the steps anymore.
I don't know where you got this idea that they moved it to preserve it from the elements, but it's incorrect. It was originally moved to the Philadelphia Sports Complex after a debate on whether it was a piece of art or a movie prop. For its last move, it was placed back near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, only at the bottom of the steps and off to the side, and has been there for the last 18 years. It has been outside, in the elements for nearly the entire time it has existed. It's made of bronze, it's perfectly fine outside.
Minnie's eyes are soulless?! My panda has dark eyes and I can't help but feel like it's gonna come at me like Chucky! 🤦♂️ 🤣
😂😂
This Movie Turned out,,,[MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT]💕💕💕
YO!! Save some of that for the sequel! That's BRISK BABY!!
Next up is the creed series. Cant wait
My life’s slogan is I’m not where I am because of him! Always his fault
The Emperor did ruin a lot of lives. May the force be with you!!!
Great reaction from my favourite reactor!❤
Ps minnie looking extra cool today😎
You have to watch Grudge Match with Stallone and De Niro. That's the last boxing movie stallone did where he boxed and it's worth watching.
Watch the deleted scenes. Paulie & Rocky in the alley behind the restaurant. Also the alternate ending where Rocky wins the fight.
Great reaction and great smile!! Thanks!✌
The boxer Dixon was played by Antonio Tarver . He was the real Light Heavyweight Champion of the world . He had beat Roy Jones .
"Yo, Aria!" LOL!!! 🥊🥊
Yo
@@ariachanson01
10:12 Butkus was in the franchise until "Rocky II"
I DONT KNOW WHY PAULIE IS SO HATED HE IS A GOOD MAN I UNDERSTAND HE ISNT WHAT PEOPLE WANT BUT .....BEING OLD ISNT THE BEST THING TRUST ME I THANK THE LORD ABOVE MY SON DOESNT THINK THEY WAY ROCKYS KID DOES... I LOVE ROCKY LOL!!!!I HAVE WATCHED HIM FOR 40 YEARS
Minnie Mouse on the sofa looks like The Terminator with her sunglasses on.
😂😂😂
Now it's Creed's turn!
The statue is still there they just moved it.
Can’t wait for Creed!
OMG
Aria fron argentina excelente reaction ❤👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
why would Minnie Mouse be freaky? I think it fits your personality..but I love the shades!
After seeing this film, I'm curious, do you have an opinion on the upcoming Tyson fight this summer? Does Minnie have a prediction?
That's not a fight, it's a circus. No athletic commission will give Tyson a licence, so it just be a roided up Disney kid taking pops at an old man.
Creed next!
Hello ❤
Have you heard about the fight that's going to happen between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul?
Nope👀 I’m gonna look it up now:D
It's not a fight, just an exhibition
I love Minnie Mouse. Don’t give in to the haters.
Oh there were no haters, she can make you feel uneasy though😂 don’t worry, she’ll always be a part of the videos😁❤️
@@ariachanson01 you’re so sweet. I love watching you. Anyway, Rocky was never just a boxing movie. It’s a love story. A beautiful love story.
For me, the series ends with this movie. I highly recommend not watching the next ones.
I gotta quit these Rocky reactions. They put your emotions on overload.
