Fun facts: Stallone was punched so hard by Lundgren during this movie that he was sent to the hospital. Also, Lundgren has almost a genius level IQ and has a Master's degree in chemical engineering.
he has more then an almost genius level IQ he has an IQ of atleast 160
Achieved at Sydney University also...
Why does everyone need to mention that he is intelligent ? The movies he is in aren't rated the best , but that doesn't say anything about his IQ ... People be so superficial smh
Yeah, one of Lundgren's punches hit Stallone in the chest so hard that his heart bounced against his sternum and he quite literally had a heart attack. He had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital and spent some time in the ICU.
@Karkle Crime stinks, he NOSE the truth!
Rocky travels to a distant land, climbs a mountain, slays a dragon, avenges his friend and saves the world. It's a boxing fantasy epic.
Rocky-Sigfried
i hate that Apollo died ....its kinda stupid...micky dying made sense at his age...this death felt forced
What dragon?
@@Clnt874 Ivan Drago
@@mikewhite6138 "Drago" means dragon in scientific language
"if he dies, he dies." i quote this line several times a year.
He also says "You will lose," "I cannot be defeated," and "I defeat all men." I think he had 9 lines in the whole film, and they're all great. Not Shakespeare, of course. BETTER than Shakespear!
You mean this year
haha same here
lemme guess: you're a doctor.
@@magtovi As a retail employee, I believe my employer said this about us on the reg.
“I’m expecting another great training montage”
Dude, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
It's the training montage of all training montages.
@@williamshelton4318 Now i want to climb on top of Mount Fuji or something & just scream to the top of my lungs! 😂📣🔊🗻
@@bigjohnboatright3811 We all want to do that, but none of us will.
@@bassage13 Nothing is impossible NOTHING!
@@bigjohnboatright3811 Impossible is impossible!!!!
Oh wait
This movie was a 90 minute music video, and I never had a problem with that.
I've always said the same thing. This movie could have been about an hour long.
80's
It’s two fights, a musical number, and 3 montages.
I think it’s 70mins with is even crazier! It’s awesome
@@greenbeans9388 Stallone could George Lucas it. Removing the robot would shave another 5 minutes.
One of my favorite Rocky movies within the saga!!
Pretty impressive that all 4 have been enjoyable movies so far! Not too many franchises can keep that consistency
@@BrandonLikesMovies Rocky 5 sucks though.
@@richcheckmaker9789 it’s kinda like godfather 3. Worst of the series, but we see how both series end which makes it a bit better
@@BrandonLikesMovies and then there is rocky 5...
@@BrandonLikesMovies i think Rocky 5 is underrated. Rocky 5 definitely the worst but I think it's still good. Rocky 3 was awesome but the boxing match sucked b/c Mister T only threw hooks so it didn't come off like a "real" boxing match but the Apollo training Rocky aspect more than makes up for that.
My ranking...
Rocky 1
Rocky 4
Creed 2
Creed 1
Rocky 2
Rocky 3 (would be higher, probably 3rd, if the boxing sequences were better)
Rocky Balboa
Rocky 5
When Ricky cuts the Russian in the 2nd round “HE’S CUT!!”....I’m still like 12 year old boy jumping around. It never fails.
Right there with you!
@@miketocci
I don’t think ever been that hyped up for a REAL boxing match.
This is just my personal pet peeve, but the only thing that bothers me about this scene was how quickly Duke yelled out "He's cut!!". I mean, Rocky was still following through on the punch and just cleared Drago's head, when you hear it! I still get excited every time, but always wondered how Duke saw it so quickly and thought to call it out.
If it bleeds, we can kill it
@@williammullens4920 That’s a harsh nit pick. It would be less dramatic if it was like real life and the cut was noticed later.
Fun facts: During the filming of this movie Stallone asked Dolph to really spar with him. Stallone ended up in the hospital cause Dolph punch him so hard he moved his heart . Another fun fact Brigitte Nielsen the actress who plays Drago wife was the real life girlfriend of Stallone during the time of the filming. :)
Folllow up to that, apparently when they tried to put Stallone's medical bills through the insurer refused, citing the injures clearly being from a car accident. They had to show the insurer images of Dolph to back up there claim, which was eventually authorised.
they were even married
here you can read more about it: www.cinemablend.com/new/How-Dolph-Lundgren-Almost-Killed-Sylvester-Stallone-During-Rocky-IV-96467.html
According to Stallone in an interview, Brigitte Nielsen sent Stallone a full sized photo of herself completely naked. That is how they met.
Yeah I remember Stallone talking about that
“Will there be a training montage?” Lol...the best one ever sir!!!!
I suggest the Sylvester Stallone movie "Demolition Man" (1993) !
With 'The Great Reset' ('Built back better') that's now in progress we will live in the universe of 'Demolition Man' in no time.
Demolition Man is friggin' awesome!
Amazing movie, created a cult following. It's over the top but it knows, and still has some great underlying themes.
And I will never, EVER, forget the three seashells
And "Paradise Alley". A lost gem
First Blood is another great Stallone movie.
Imagine how crushed we were, sitting in the movie theatre, when Creed died!
I was in the theater maybe 10 years old.... Grew up on the first 3 ... But rocky 3 at the time had been my favourite because of Apollo...I just remember I'd not seen a single trailer (good because they spoil the death right away!) And building up to Apollo Vs drago I remember practically shaking with nerves! Think I cried (I was 10 come on) 😂
Not that crushed. The movie trailer gave it away.
@@everything90s94 I only saw the trailer many years after seeing the film, literally aren't the first words "he killed his friend" 😂
Iad Alazzhr "he could've stopped the fight... he could've saved his best friend's life. But now, the one thing he can't do, is walk away." Rocky 4 is my favorite of the series, but man, that trailer is the worst trailer ever made.
I was only 8. It was kind of shocking, but I never saw the trailer.
I'm from England but was in Cleveland Ohio in 1985 during Christmas staying with some friends at their house in Rocky River. In those days movies came out in America a year before the rest of the world got to see them. This is one of the movies I watched in America a year before people in England saw them. I also watched Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Jewel of the Nile and Prizzis Honour during my wonderful Christmas in America. I was only 17...and now I'm 52...This movie brings back all those great memories of being a young man with the world at his feet with my first time abroad eating McDonald's Burger King and pizza. Great memories!!
Just your mention of Cleveland and Rocky River brought back a ton of 80's memories for me as well. I grew up in a town not far from there called North Ridgeville. My younger siblings were born in Westlake which is between North Ridgeville and Rocky River and I had other family that lived in Lakewood. So many memories. I still like to go up and visit Huntington Beach whenever I get a chance. I don't know if you got to see the lake much, since it was winter when you were there. I used to visit Cleveland often as a kid in the 80's too. Did your American friends take you to West Side Market while you were there in 1985? I loved that place.
damn sounds like a crazy fun time.
@@Humstuck It was. Thanks for bothering to read it and comment. 😁
MY DAD SENT ME TO THE VIDEO CLUB TO RENT THE MOVIE, BUT IT WAS RENTED, HE MADE ME STAY ALL DAY TO WAIT FOR THE RETURN OF THE FILM AND TO BE ABLE TO RENT IT..... BTW SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
Tackling political stuff. If you didn't live through the 80's, its hard to understand the US vs USSR rivalry before the Berlin walll fell. It was intense. It was the impetus for all of the post-apocolyptic movies that came out if the era. We were all convinced that nuclear war was inevitable, and we'd need to deal with the aftermath. It wasn't until the 90's that a lot of us believed we'd get through this.
Gregory Gonzalez Was thinking the same thing. US vs USSR hit a lot different back then.
Cold war era..., Us Vs them.... The race to the moon etc
It was VERY intense. I remember when “The Day After” came out when I was about 12 years old. Good God, it scared the hell out of me!
@@scottmoore1614 I was about the same age, and have no idea why my parents let me watch that movie on TV that fateful night. I couldn't sleep for a week after that
“You can’t win!” Like a knife through my heart.
Yes! You will notice, Adrian ALWAYS makes the difference. Without her support, Rocky’s head just isn’t in the right place and he isn’t going to win.
I love that Stallone brought in Duke as a part of his team. What a cornerman!!!
He’s a great, sort of underrated character. Like Duke said in Rocky 4, Apollo was like a son to him. It made sense that he would pick up the mantle and train Balboa to fight Drago. I think Duke was in just about all the Rocky movies (except for 5). He also trained Rocky in the sixth installment. And Duke’s son is in Creed, running the legendary gym that Duke used to run, where Apollo got his start.
@@scottmoore1614 He was in 5 as well. The first scene in the dressing room.
@@theradgegadgie6352 yeah, the reason Duke didnt get to help Rocky's financial problems is that he went back to LA while the Balboas were forced to move back to Philly.
I love how the trainer says "You hurt him! He's not a machine! He is a man!" and right after, Drago says the exact opposite: "he is not human".
Like, Rocky now doesn't see him anymore like an invincible threat, but Drago does
Today: Rock IV
But more importantly:
Ozymandias tomorrow!
It ain't a good movie
@@voodoochile333 he’s talking about the Breaking Bad reactions
I`m pumped for that :-D
In my Heisenberg voice "You're God damn right!"
@@voodoochile333 lmao
That moment Apollo goes to touch gloves with dragon and his hand doesn't even move is still one of the scariest moments in movies ever..
Yes, this was the Cold war of the 80's very accurate it was called the Iron Curtain for a reason
Hey Brad, this was made in 1985 at the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the fall of the soviet union, President Gorbachev and Glasnost were on the rise. 3 years later I was serving in Berlin with the UK Armoured Squadron when the Berlin Wall finally came down, something nobody was expecting or believed was possible, another 6 years after that (1994) I was serving alongside the Russian UN contingent in Sarajevo, Bosnia.....Now that, was was VERY surreal, seeing and working with what was for most of my career, enemy vehicles (BMP's, Brdm's.....Sorry Russian armoured vehicles) the ones I had spent the last 6 years training to identify and destroy..... weird to say the least.
This movie was definitely the most “music video” of the movies which of course means it’s the most MUTED reaction of the movies lol
I had the soundtrack cassette from Rocky IV and wore out the tape from playing it so much
ruclips.net/video/dHdpyvayAcw/видео.html
To me, Rocky 3 and 4 are the most “dated” films out of the series and I don’t mean that as a necessarily bad thing. Rocky 1 and 2 were obviously shot in the mid to late 70s but they still have a low budget, timeless quality to them. Rocky 3 is all about the early 80s and it definitely takes me back to my childhood. After all, it has Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in it! Rocky 4 just amps it up to the next level with countless music video clips and the main villain being a Soviet Superman.
This was Lundgren's second film as he played a henchman in the James Bond film A View To A Kill.
Yeah that was a really short scene lol
You definitely missed out on the "theater" experience with this one. Saw this movie 21 times in the theater, not so much because I loved the movie, but the crowd watching was phenomenal. When the main fight came on, the theater audience blended into the fight crowd on screen. It was like we were all at the fight. The crowd in the theater was reacting to the fight on screen, like it was some kind of live pay-per-view. The only film I've ever seen where that happened. If you haven't seen "Rocky Balboa" yet, you are absolutely going to love the care and precision in which it's handled, as well as the callbacks to the previous Rocky movies.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing it in the theatre and my crowd went nuts. I’ll never forget when rocky looks up at drago while holding creed’s body, everyone went insane! Lol!
21 times?? Damn!
I'm a few months late but we all got a chance to enjoy this movie in theatres with the directors cut fathom event. It was a great night and everyone in the theater was clapping and cheering. Great experience and once in a lifetime event for those who weren't born when it first released.
My dad took me to see this in the theater when I was 10. When Drago says, "He's not human. He's like a piece of iron," the theater audience erupted in "YEAHH!" cheers and clapping. Nothing beats the in-theater movie experience.
“He’s not a machine .... he’s a man “ gets me so pumped every time
Just wanted to say your voice is lovely. It's incredibly relaxing for my anxiety. Thank you so much for the content!
Great comment! 👍
@@philljenner4045 thanks :)
If you want a five-star Stallone performance, I recommend Cop Land (1997). An excellent film that also includes Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel and Ray Liotta in the cast.
Underrated film
@@flatpicker74 Maybe Stallone's best performance, and certainly his most human character since the original Rocky.
Nighthawks
I was 8 years old and my uncle took me to the movies to see Rocky IV in our hometown of South Philly (Reed St. back when the YMCA was there). I loved it then and I love it now. This is back when the U.S.S.R. was the Evil Empire and Stallone was with Brigette Neilsen (who played Drago's girl). It may look silly to some but as a kid in that movie theater it was enough to get me jumping around and cheering like a maniac. I enjoy your reactions and I first found your channel from your original Rocky video.
"he's killin ya." little did Rocky know just how true those words were til it was too late.
fun fact: the twitches that Carl Weathers made when Apollo hit the mat looked so real that some people on-set panicked and had EMT's check him over.
You may have picked up on this in the full reaction but besides the cold war theme, there is the theme of Rocky getting back to his roots. In the beginning he is rich and giving away expensive presents. He is not the local blue collar hero he was. Him training in Russia with no tech is him getting back to his roots and doing things the low-tech way in stark contrast to Drago who has all the tech at his disposal. It was a statement by Stallone who was going through the same thing, having made Rocky on a shoestring budget and by Rocky 4 was blockbuster action star in special effects laden movies. He also wanted to recapture his early days and say that he still knows how to write and work in the trenches and he doesn't need modern tech to still make a good movie.
"Man, if we get a training montage in this one…"
Try TWO of 'em, my dude! Less than a minute apart. So good!
And yet he still bitched about it. Watch him like Rocky 5 more than 4
My number 1 Rocky moment was when you hear "HE'S CUT!!!" It hypes me up so much! RIP Tony "Duke" Evers
Rocky 4: Rocky defeats Communism.
lol isn’t stallone a right wing in real life?
@@NoOne-sq4et hes more of a centrist but hes definitely more right than he is left. And thats why we like him
We need Rocky to go to the White House and clean the joint out.
"The Gang Goes Russian"
**Cue Always Sunny Theme
Reagan’s got nothing on Balboa!! 😃
That was in the Ronald Reagan's period. The East/West Cold War's time.
I suggest to watch "Rambo : First Blood" the other great character played by Sly.
Technically, the Cold War lasted from 1947-1991. But this was during a peak time of an arms race, sometimes called the New Cold War, which was brought on by Reagan with the goal of bankrupting the USSR. Which he did. Reagan > Rocky.
@@independenceltd. Lol, Reagan bankrupted his own country. The clown was as corrupt as they come, and an absolute scumbag.
@@Bucketheadhead Reagan was corrupt, but he didn't bankrupt the US
@@Bucketheadhead lol...try reading up on what you're told every once in a while instead of just regurgitating what your coffee klatch told you. And least in mixed company. It'll keep you from looking so ignorant.
During his Administration, growth in government spending plummeted from 10% in 1982, to just over 1% in 1987. With inflation factored in, Federal spending actually went down in 1987 - the first time that had happened in well over a decade.
Real gross national product rose 26%
20 million new jobs were created
Inflation dropped from 13.5% in 1980 to 4.1% by 1988
Unemployment fell from 7.6% to 5.5%
Net worth of families earning between $20,000 and $50,000 annually grew by 27%
The prime interest rate was slashed from 21.5% in January 1981 to 10% in August 1988
Given actual rates of inflation, through 1987, the Reagan tax cuts saved the median-income two-earner American family of four close to $9,000 in taxes from what it would have owed in 1980.
Not only were there millions of new jobs, but the benefits of job creation were not limited to one segment of society. Employment of African-Americans rose by more than 25% between 1982 and and 1988, and more than half of the new jobs created went to women.
@@independenceltd. I have read, and apparently understood more than you.
Long committed to balanced budgets and fiscal integrity, Reagan oversaw the creation of more new debt than the combined deficits of all previous Presidents. He assailed Jimmy Carter's $73.8 billion deficit in the 1980 campaign, yet the deficit reached $220.7 billion in 1986, and the deficit rose yet further in his next term. The deficits rose from 2.6 percent of the gross national product in the fiscal year 1981 to 6.3 percent in 1983, then dropped to 3.4 percent in 1988.
While Reagan was committed to reducing the size and scope of the Federal Government, the Federal civilian work force increased during his Presidency by 150,000, growing to more than 3 million.
While Reagan was committed to reducing Government spending, it rose by $321 billion during his Presidency, to more than a trillion dollars. Federal outlays rose from 22.7 percent of the gross national product in 1981 to 24 percent in 1985. Then, bowing to Congressional pressures, spending dropped back to 22.7 percent of the G.N.P. Trend Actually Began In the Carter Era
During Reagan’s years in office, the federal debt tripled from $994 billion to $2.8 trillion, and America went from being a creditor nation to a debtor nation. This in part was due to the massive increase in military spending, and the absurd idea that cutting taxes for the wealthy would lead to reinvestment and a subscription to trickle down economics, which we can now call voodoo economics. His insane economic policies we still feel to this day, as America has never been able to recover the massive debt. During his presidency the numbers of people living in poverty rose by around 15 million.
When one factors in the absurd number of political scandals and corruption that occurred during his time in office, Reagan’s presidency can be described as nothing more than disastrous.
Dude I'm so excited for tomorrow's BB reaction. Can't wait to see, such an excellent episode. But awesome rocky reaction, this is by far my fav rocky film. ✌
Stallone always has the camera angle a certain way in his movies so you cant tell how short he is . This is the only movie where he allowed it to show the height difference. Also fun fact during the shooting of CREED 2 , both stallone and Dolph trained at the gym together and he would play Rocky 4 music to rub it in that he beat dolph .
He did play the height difference card pretty well during the fight with "Thunder Lips" (Hulk Hogan) in 'Rocky III' aswell.
@@mickesmanymovies He exacerbated it, even. Hogan was standing on a box during the match instructions.
I don't think he's abnormally short though. Maybe 5'9" or 5'10". Dolph is 6'5" ish
@@markbrowning4334 He's both shorter and smaller than the character, that's all. He isn't even a cruiserweight in real life.
@@theradgegadgie6352 I would have figured weight class was based on weight and not height. They always put him around 200lbs, give or take, in the movies. Was that never accurate?
Apollo - "Be Back In A Minute"
Natasha - "See You In A Minute"
Rocky IV is basically 4 montages and 2 fights, and a bit of the 1980's in general.
The 9 legendary lines of Ivan Drago!
I wonder if anyone has a better small set of lines in any film...
@@FutureBoy. take captain solo to the cargo hold
@@FutureBoy. Kurt Russell, in the slightly overlooked sci-fi 'Soldier', speak a total of 104 words. Compared to Drago that sounds like a lot, but Russell is the MAIN character in 'Soldier'. 🙂
@@mickesmanymovies Such an overlooked classic.
Pretty much one long glorious montage, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Such a beast of a soundtrack too.
Stallone and Carl Weathers both got pretty seriously injured by Dolph. Apparently Carl Weathers still holds a grudge about it. It's a shame because I'd love to see him in The Expendables.
4:38, Drago's wife is played by Brigette Neilsen, whom was married to Stallone for 4 years.
*who
2 yrs i think they were married
When this came out, Soviet athletes occasionally came to the U.S. for exhibitions. Consider the Soviet hockey team, which was considered the best hockey team in the world. They came here for exhibitions against three NHL teams - won the first two, but then were scheduled to play the Broad Street Bullies (aka Flyers). International hockey doesn't have fighting. NHL exhibition games usually don't, but this one did. Philly pummeled them, much to the delight of the home fans, and ended up winning by a goal.
Anyway, that was in the 70s. Despite the Flyers beating them (literally), the Soviets were still considered the best in the world, which made what the college all-star team the U.S. sent to Lake Placid all the more dramatic as the amateur kids beat them. Needless to say, this was before the time the U.S. sent 'dream teams' to the Olympics with pro players for team sports.
I hope you do karate kid one day. Rocky and Karate kid had the same director and have a similar tone and style
Rocky and Daniel should’ve fought!
To this day I think my favorite part of this movie is towards the end when Rocky's corner says "You cut him! He's a man, not a machine!" and then Drago saying "He's not Human". I just love how the whole movie built this mythos up.
Never clicked on anything so fast before
E V E R.
Clicked so fast, been waiting for this for a while.
YES! BRANDINO finishing this year STRONG my guy. THIS IS THE ONE bro. Merry Christmas and happy New Year EVERYBODY
I was in a jammed packed movie theater to see this movie. I never had a movie experience like this in my entire life. At the end of the movie during the fight when Rocky made Drago bleed, everybody rose to their feet.😯 People were shouting Rocky. It was electric in there. The hair on my arms was standing up and I had tears coming down my eyes🥺. The is my favorite Rocky film!❤
I will break you. Dolph Lundgren is Swedish (like me 😁) and although he often playes characters with brawns and no brains. He actually have a PhD in chemical engineering and has an IQ of 160. Pretty impressive 😁
Me Too! Swede pride!
“If I was there, I’d cheer for him. That’s my guy.” -> exactly! Yes, indeed!
Sylvester Stallone is working on a director’s cut of “Rocky IV” which is scheduled for home video in 2021. Stallone has already said the robot will be gone. Some people love the robot who’s name is Sico. 🤖
Poor Sico....no residuals for him!
@@Orangeflava That’s very true. 😊
I'm still waiting for the director's cut for Cobra.
One thing I appreciate about the Rocky movies is they had legit athletic people as boxers before they were cast in their roles. Stallone became heavily involved in fitness after Rocky 1, Carl Weathers was already an NFL/CFL player, Dolph Lundgren was a legit martial artist, and the list goes on for the rest of the series
This reaction got me crying a few times. These movies are just so good and I'm glad to see an appreciation past on.
You probably know this by now, but there's still alot of people that don't like "sports" movies or (Rambo) " blood and guts" movies that their closed minds make them miss out on how much heart, story and excellent writing these films have.
Rocky Balboa has my favorite scene from the entire series. This one was one of my favorites, it came out when I was 6. My dad would always rent the first 2 movies.
10:46 “...you will lose.”
His monotone delivery is frightening 😂💀
Exactly. It was superb having Drago have no lines up until that moment. When he says "you will lose" to Apollo, you know something very bad is about to happen.
I love this training montage, with The Duke.
"No pain.......... No pain."
Yus. My favorite as a kid. Loved the training sequence.
I saw this in theaters and at the one I was at, the entire sold out theater stood up at the end and cheered for what seemed like over 5 minutes. It was absolutely crazy for me as a 12 year old seeing how a movie could affect an entire theater that way.
It’s festive in that Rocky ends the Cold War on Christmas!!!
My head canon is that this movie chronicles the events that lead to the end of the cold war.
During training for the film, Stalone told dolph to actually hit him full power. He hit him in the chest and stopped his heart with one punch and almost killed him.
That's not what happened. He hit Stallone so hard, he suffered a heart injury. After getting hit, Stallone shook it off, thinking he was fine, but later in the day he felt ill, realized he was seriously injured and had to be hospitalized. Apparently, when Dolph punched Stallone, it bounced his heart off his rib cage, injuring him in a way usually seen in car crashes.
Great reaction. Stallone had a way of directing and story telling that you think this is a live event. He set it up that you really feel it's impossible for Rocky to win. That's why the "he's cut" moment is so electrifying. Drago was set up right from the start with no lines, but his support system telling and showing how unstoppable he is. Then when Apollo dies, the stakes are raised into orbit, and there's this sense of an ominous unstoppable threat.
3:34, the Blu Ray Director's Cut actually deletes the robot in almost every scene in the movie.
I was wondering about that. I have the box set of Rocky blu ray and wonder where is the director's cut and also is the only scene of the robot the part that shows he's the only one at home watching the kids on Christmas lol? I haven't seen the director's cut yet but, I did wonder how they'd get around that?
No other movie makes you wanna workout and get in shape like this one! 😄🥊💪 those montages are always gonna be iconic!!
In Stallone's upcoming director's cut, he's removing the robot lol
but it was such a large part of the story!
Why? It was fluff but it was fun fluff. It also establishes Rocky's newfound disposable income like when he bought the Firebird.
I want the directors directors cut with added robot
Back at that time (small) robotic toys were the fad, especially for richer people who could afford them... this was a life sized extension of this and suiting for its time... as odd and as out of left field as it might seem watching it today.
@@williamshelton4318 That scene is a goof on Paulie that all he wanted from a woman was nice words and for her to wait on him.
This is by far the silliest and over the top Rocky movie, but I love it all the same because it's probably the most fun. You can have it in the background all the music montages are worth the price of admission. The soundtrack alone has been on my exercise routine for many years xD
Rocky I is the "best film" but Rocky IV will always be the most Hype of all the Rocky / Creed movies. Never gets old. Best music, best training sequences, best "villain". Everyone loves Rocky IV.
What a wonderful surprise! Can't wait to see this reaction. I still have a hard time watching Apollo's death, and I've seen this movie at least 20 times if not more. It is the same heartbreaking feeling for me every single time.
Same feeling since 1985
Never clicked on a notification so fast
It's still funny to think of Dolph Lundgren as Russian when he's actually Swedish. Also when Sylvester Stallone told Lundgren to punch him for real Sly ended up in the hospital. Dolph Lungren is an interesting person, he has a masters degree in chemical engineering, he even got a Fullbright scholarship to MIT, but he left before getting his doctoral degree. He's also a member of MENSA. So on top of being a badass, he was also a trained martial artist, he's insanely intelligent. And I've always heard he's a nice guy too.
Rocky 5? Rocky Balboa? The Creed movies? This could be the summer of Rocky….
In order to sell Drago's killing blow to Apollo, Carl Weathers made it a point to land face first and feign a twitching motion after hitting the ground. He was so convincing that the on-set physician feared he had actually been injured.
One of the saddest & most difficult scenes for me in movie history is watching what happens to Apollo
Having to sit through your DCMA free reaction, it reminds me just how much the music is a part of this film. Love it!
I love how the Rocky movies are a perfect way to describe Sly's career. The first one, he is a nobody who gets a shot at becoming a star and makes it. The second is him cementing his status and proving he isn't a one hit wonder and he has to deal with being famous. In the third one he struggles in the beginning, only to come back stronher. In the fourth he isat the absolute peak of his career. In the fifth it goes a bit downhill. After that there isn't another Rocky movie for a long time and the sixth one is the big comeback
And Creed is about him passing the torch and establish his legacy
I like how he goes from kinda stupid (yet lovable) in 1 and 2, pretty smart and savvy in 3 and 4 and stupid, brain damaged (still lovable) in 5 and 6.
in Rocky 6th, Sly even said it was more difficult to make that movie than the first film because of the flop of V, producers asked "who wants to see an old guy box again" which is the same as what people were saying when Rocky was picked to fight Dixon. But in the end he made it and it was the perfect closing for the series.
Rocky IV encapsulates the 1980's more than anything ever made in any media format ever. It contains everything future generations need to know about the era. It is an immortal time capsule of historical entertainment. Then only thing it lacks is ninjas.
20:38 when Brandon remembered his job is to react.
This one was my favorite of all the Rocky movies and the first I had scene out of the franchise. I really enjoy your reactions!
If you like "Eye of the Tiger", make sure to listen to Survivor's "Burning Heart" from this movie's soundtrack.
I have the soundtrack and I use it for when I'm working out. Gets me all kinds of HYPEEEE!
@@anonimuso You too??? Its on my playlist! 😂
@@anonimuso I was checking to see if I wrote this comment haha. Same
You did see drago again, remember he is the dad of the fighter in creed 2 , thats why he was in the diner and it was a great scene between him and rocky
Best rocky film hands down imo
Yep.
Not IMO...this is a fact!
Growing up I had Rocky V on VHS and I had seen the first 3 movies quite a few times. For some reason I never watched Rocky IV until I was 9 years old. When Apollo died I started crying (this was after I was too grown-up to cry).
I'm loving these Rocky reactions. Rocky V is my personal favorite. It's not the one people typically speak of but man I love that movie. I still wonder if I should get one of those 1980s dangling earrings like his son had, despite the fact that I'm 35 and balding.
Rocky 4: Rocky Ends the Cold War and Gets an Entire Soviet Audience Sent to the Gulag for Cheering.
Dolph's brain might be his biggest muscle. The man had a full scholarship to MIT.
i think if i remember correctly Stallone wanted to do full contact for some of the fight with Lundgren and got sent to the hospital 💀
Training montage is Epic in this Rocky movie and the music is great during that.
Apollo almost seems suicidal, going out with a blast
My favourite of all the rockys and they take me back to my childhood
Anyone else looking forward to the Rocky 4: Directors Cut?
Stallone is working in it right now.
@Meanie Panini Google it...he’s posted videos of him editing it. You’ll thank me!
The first snow of every year I’m out lifting wood, hiking through drifts, shoveling snow.......ADRIANE!
Crazy thing is, Lundgren at that point in his life could probably have stood with some elite level pro fighters if he'd fully pursued it.
And he was a super smart guy, getting a scholarship to MIT.
Great movie!!!! Have Never been disappointed by a Rocky movie. Even the newer ones. Stallone is a magnificent writer. “Rocky Balboa” is an Amazing movie as well.
The movie was made during the cold war.
Scary times i live in Holden Missouri and across the field from our farm is an active nuclear missile silo still guarded by the Army .
This movie ended the cold war.
@@TheRoyalFino Your familys names are on a list and you are likely spied on
So much love for the rocky Saga, my childhood favorite movies !
Fun fact Drago's wife in the movie was Stalone's wife in real life.
Fun fact: she ended up banging Flava Flave.
She was hot back then.
Great video homie as always. This has always been my favorite rocky film especially as a kid.
In an interview Dolph Lundgren mentioned that he wasn't the biggest guy at the audition.
The Drago character was based on Max Schmelling, a German boxer that decimated all of his opponents until a duo of fights with Joe Louis. Schmelling was not a believer in Nazi ideology, but because of conscription, became a Nazi poster boy for Hitler’s Germany. After his last loss to Joe Louis, they sent him to the Russian front for the last months of his military service (after the war, he worked on selling Coca-Cola to Germany and even paid for Joe Louis’ funeral expenses). Then, this flick comes around, and Stallone finds a 6’5 blonde haired blue eyed bodybuilder with multiple black belts and a genius IQ, like he found Hitler’s wet dream. Which also explained Drago’s robotic performance, as Soviet athletes were extremely restricted in what they said, especially where the media is concerned. Even in the 80s, saying the wrong thing could mean prison time. It might not be good reaction material, but the documentary “Red Army” about the Soviet hockey team that lost the Miracle on Ice game is really enlightening.
The soundtrack in this is HYPE.
Makes you wanna go out and lift a car.
ow man i just got into the rocky franchise last week and i'm so happy you're doing reactions for these movies, they connect with me in such a personal level, especially the first and second ones
once again you're the best reaction channel this platform has ever seen, great job man!
