I think every man wants a woman like Adrian, and a best friend like Apollo. A woman who is always going to have your back and lift you up, and a best friend who can rival you and push you to your furthest limits as a person. Rocky 3 is so great.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate what an absolute BEAST Carl weather's was in his prime? Dudes huge, jacked, and FAST and actually has pretty decent boxing
The fact that they hugged in the last seconds of this part shows how much of a bond grew from being bitter rivals to best friends. The rocky franchise taught me a lot about life in general. Which is why it's one of my all time favorite franchises
@Ryan Irwin- Diehl well... not exactly. If you go back to Rocky 2, all the times people making fun of him because of the humiliation tactic Creed was pulling just to get him to fight, and then Rocky watching the interview and Creed calling him out and calling him names... Everyone has their version of being bitter to someone. You see Rocky be bitter to someone when he fights them in the ring
I’m here because of Carl Weathers passing. What an actor in movies and shows. His role in Rocky really encapsulates a great transformation from antagonist to protagonist. RIP Apollo 🥊
Yeah they did and Apollo supported Rocky at a perfect time in Rocky 3 when Mickey died. It wasn't just the fact that he lost that first fight to clever or whatever his name was but Mr T played the character. What bothered him the most was that when that big mouth monster psycho boxer pushed Mickey,.& Mickey was having a heart attack right before the match, Rocky went on to fight and he couldn't focus. Rocky got knocked out in the second round and was able to at least get in and see Mickey right before he died.. when Rocky was training for the rematch against Mr T, Clubber, Rocky was still afraid. He was still thinking about the fight and thinking about everything Mickey told him and thinking about Mickey dying. Once he pushed himself to get beyond that with his wife's help and Apollo's help, Rocky was able to see and knew for himself that he was a good boxer and a really great boxer working and being trained by Mickey. The problem with the Rocky was that he was fast but not quite fast enough. He was not fast enough to keep away and stay out of reach of clubber. Clover wasn't used to fighting more than one or two rounds and he would get so wound up that he would wear himself out. Apollo Creed taught Rocky to be faster and be able to duck very fast back and forth! That was perfect training and Apollo was the perfect coach for fighting Clubber. Apollo saw what the guy was fighting like and he knew how Rocky did.. there was just a few things Rocky had to learn very very well and perfect it to be able to wear out and exhaust clubber in three rounds or four rounds. .One of the best scenes was when he had Rocky running on the beach. When Rocky finally beat Apollo running on the beach, he was so psyched. The rematch between Rocky and clover was absolutely freaking fantastic and Rocky went from being a great fighter to awesome.. he was an 8 plus before and Apollo Creed trained him to be a 10 plus. Clubber was breathing heavy in the second round. Rocky knew he wasn't going to last long and he was taunting the guy. I think when they started the third round, Rocky knew w Clubber was tired and he just TORE into him.

This has to be the most fun Rocky ever had training. He’s got his wife beside him, Paulie beside him, and Apollo and Duke showing him the way. He’s having the time of his life.
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.dddd
The craziest part in this whole scene that gave me goosebumps was when Rocky and Apollo hugged. It was a sincere hug of not competitors but of friends..
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.dddd
Erick Santos I loved Rocky 4's as well! All of the training montages that Sly did were all great. Loved every one of them, even though some hold a higher place in my heart.
These movies inspired me to gain 30 pounds in 6 months and get absolutely shredded. *....I sat on the couch and ate shredded beef tacos every day and watched all the Rocky movies.*
Not many will agree with me, but for me, from a technical standpoint, this is the best training montage of the Rocky Series. I know it is not as badass as seeing Stallone lift a log while walking through a snow knee deep. Looking back, this is the only time really that Rocky trained for any strategy. Here he learns footwork, head movement, and yeah the swimming part does make sense because this works all of your muscles altogether. He is also learning how to dodge and counter.
Exactly why he needed Apollo to train him more than anyone else. Rocky always knew how to train hard but Apollo showed him how to train smart. Put those together and he’s unbeatable
Rampage Clover he was too lean in Rocky 3. He admitted it himself. His body fat was so low he couldn't remember his lines. Peak physique was in 1985...Rocky 4 and First Blood part II. Ripped to shreds but with more mass.
Carl Weathers once played in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders in the early 70s. He was in phenomenal shape in that movie. You can tell how he slowed down so Sylvester Stallone could pass him up. Weathers used to run 40 yards in 4 seconds as a defensive back.
Joey Brooks dude ofc thats true but in this scene, ROCKY was supposed to and did finally outrun CREED so its not perfect if he limits his effort and acted like he was running his best at a slower speed for the scene
RIP Carl Weathers. I used to always come back and watch this whenever i would fall off from working out. Really motivational scene for all future generations to come.
Notice the look that Apollo gives to Rocky at 2:36 - 2:37. He sees that Rocky is really trying his best. So he lets him win the race to boost his confidence. Thats real good writing right there and it's these little moments that make this montage so great!
If only everyone could have a person like Apollo Creed in their life. He gave rocky a chance twice. Then after loosing he supported Rocky to keep achieving. Apollo Creed is the true hero in the Rocky franchise.
Rocky was so lucky to have Adrian tell him what he needed to hear and Apollo to train him after Mickey passed away.I'm sure Mickey was looking down from heaven seeing Rocky and Apollo running on the beach feeling mighty proud of both of them and happy they became good friends.
0:58 I never get tired of watching this part, seeing Rocky and Apollo synced with the soundtrack is so satisfying, best moment of the training scene by far !
Man o man. I remember watching rocky 1-4 training montages over and over when I was about 15 in 2005. kept me motivated as hell to workout , eat clean and become the best version of myself there’s ever been. I miss those days but watching it always puts a smile on my face as I remember the good old days. It really sucks that we have no choice but to grow old and eventually die. RIP Apollo Creed
I love how Rocky is learning and taking this slow when Apollo says to him “no no Rock, just flick it just flick it” you can tell and see in his eyes how he’s not use to this kind of new school training if you will. Because Micky was very old school in his training, with the shoe string for balance, chasing the chicken for speed, making him into a right handed fighter by punching the bag 500 times......Apollo took him into unfamiliar territory with this style of training by being lighter on your feet, doing more cardio for stamina as well as speed, working on his dodging reflexes not just slipping the jab that Micky taught him, a very new fighting style that Apollo knows very well thanks to Duke.
That's what makes this so amazing. If Rocky was able to stand against Apollo with old school training, he'd be unstoppable if he learned how to fight like the former champ and Apollo knew this
When I feel like I’ve lost my myself, passion, or drive. I come back to this training montage. It’s truly an inspiration seeing Rocky training with Apollo to find his groove again.
The ending part reminds me of me and my best friend who i tragically saw get killed in front of me on his bmx bike. I miss him and its been since 2007 since he left this world. I love and miss you bro.
I always come back to this video every year. I have been trying to bulk up and gain muscle for years while struggling with depression and anorexia. The first few years I barely gained much of my goal and struggled with mental issues. I didn’t have the body I wanted even after trying to train, I hated myself everyday in the mirror. But I never gave up. I learned better form, more exercises, and better diets. I trained as much as I could and gained weight. I pushed through as much as I could. 4 years have passed then and I’m finally getting to where I want to be, and I’m doing it for myself not anybody else. That’s the power scenes like this hold. They inspire so many of us and so many fans. I saw rocky push through and power through any obstacle because his heart and goals were made of steel. That inspired me. That made me want to push through my goals to and never give up. I felt inspiration and wanted to use it, but I had to push and fight for the results. The fight was long, but I’m finally seeing true results mentally and physically. Anybody can do it, but you gotta put forth the effort and rise through the pain. So no matter who you are or what weight you are, just do your best and keep pushing. Get support and get help from those around you, it’ll help you push even more effectively. The important thing is to keep pushing. Adjust your goals and work your way slowly if needed. Just keep pushing. As rocky once said “It doesn’t matter how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”
Before Rocky III he was just a fighter who could throw powerful left hooks and then Apollo trains him into an athlete who could jab and use his speed to beat his opponent, this is what confused Clubber lang in the second fight, first he used his jab so Clubber Lang couldn't touch him and then hooks to knock him out in the later rounds when Clubber Lang was tired! I love this training scene! It incorporates a broken mans personal desire to rise and become a champion again, all in the space of around 3 minutes! Excellently directed.
With all due respect to Stallone for writing, acting and directing brilliantly, this montage is such a masterpiece between the director of photography Bill Butler and editor Don Zimmerman and others OTHER than Stallone because they are using light, shadow and editing to show a man coming out of the darkness into the light. Look at the early scenes of the montage where Rocky is moving between light and shadow in the dark gym, light and dark, deciding if he really wants this? And as the montage progresses, the scenes get lighter and lighter until the final scene on the beach is shot with NO shadows, which visually represents that Rocky has cast his shadows of the past and is ready. I'm sorry but Stallone did not have anything to do with this master photography and editing. These are MASTERS that were helping him. And I'm sure Stallone would give such credit.
Aladdin Aldilawi Yeah, that kind of bothered me that he seemed to forget all of Apollo's boxing training after this movie and went back to being just a slugger.
in rocky iiii he was overcome by the death of Apollo, he was also scared of drago which could have made him have a panic attack and forget all training from Apollo and go back to his most comfortable techniques that he always knew.
I LOVE how Adrian is right there with Rocky during his training. She is definitely his muse, and even though she wasn't always a fan of Rocky being a boxer...she's right by his side, selflessly Supporting and encouraging him as he re-makes himself to battle Clubber Lang. She's the ultimate wife
Apollo was always a good man, just too hung up on his own ego during the first two fights. I love how Rocky III shows an admission of this and how Apollo became in some ways a replacement for Mick. Such a well-written series and this training session is one of my favourites. Thank you for the upload.
As a kid growing up and watching this film. It was really so inspiring. The bromance and motivation. I can definitely it contributed to me being in the successful position I am today.
03:05 An alternative ending for the Rocky series: After Rocky beat Clubber he and Apollo got a place by the beach in San Fransisco and lived happily ever after.
The first thing that comes to my mind when someone says Carl Weathers is this masterpiece of a montage. So sad to hear that he is gone, but we should all be glad that we had the chance to see him do his thing!
I’ve met someone who has actually been in the same gym as Carl Weathers. They have seen him train. They only said one thing after they saw him: “That guy is the real deal.” After seeing Weathers in the rocky franchise, it’s impossible to not agree with that person.
I don't know about y'all but the scene where they are in front of the mirror hittin the 2 step slide...gives me goosebumps and...i get a little teary eyed...#iconic
I think every man wants a woman like Adrian, and a best friend like Apollo. A woman who is always going to have your back and lift you up, and a best friend who can rival you and push you to your furthest limits as a person. Rocky 3 is so great.
you said it man
Right on Bro
Richard West Very well said, my friend!
Richard West I wish a movie about young Apollo, getting to the top and so
To me he was a bigger star in these series until Rocky III
Richard West wow talk about the friend and rival part makes me think about Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali :)
Adrian the ultimate wife, Apollo the ultimate best friend. Rocky was invincible with them in his corner.

The same bond he later shared with Adonis

I’m here because of Carl Weathers passing. What an actor in movies and shows. His role in Rocky really encapsulates a great transformation from antagonist to protagonist. RIP Apollo 🥊
Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed is one of the most underappreciated characters in cinema. LOVED their rivalry/brotherhood.

Lol, Well he had to give Rocky as much confidence as possible. I'm sure after the fight Apollo was like, Yo Rock on the beach. .
Ha! 🤣🤣
Lmao, I noticed that too. Sylvester was clearly slower than Carl Weathers in real life.

Best training montage of all the Rocky movies. Rocky actually learns how to box.
100% agree!
Erick Santos Personally, it isn't my favorite, but it's up there. I love the new style that he learns incorporating footwork and speed.
Humza Khan It's my favorite, though I like the one in Rocky IV as well.

apollo and his crew taught rocky some moves and some soul. thats why he won.
I always come back to this video every year. I have been trying to bulk up and gain muscle for years while struggling with depression and anorexia. The first few years I barely gained much of my goal and struggled with mental issues. I didn’t have the body I wanted even after trying to train, I hated myself everyday in the mirror. But I never gave up. I learned better form, more exercises, and better diets. I trained as much as I could and gained weight. I pushed through as much as I could. 4 years have passed then and I’m finally getting to where I want to be, and I’m doing it for myself not anybody else. That’s the power scenes like this hold. They inspire so many of us and so many fans. I saw rocky push through and power through any obstacle because his heart and goals were made of steel. That inspired me. That made me want to push through my goals to and never give up. I felt inspiration and wanted to use it, but I had to push and fight for the results. The fight was long, but I’m finally seeing true results mentally and physically. Anybody can do it, but you gotta put forth the effort and rise through the pain.
So no matter who you are or what weight you are, just do your best and keep pushing. Get support and get help from those around you, it’ll help you push even more effectively. The important thing is to keep pushing. Adjust your goals and work your way slowly if needed. Just keep pushing. As rocky once said “It doesn’t matter how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”
That's a great story man!! Always, always stay postive man!!! I love to hear this!
When I heard the terrible news of Carls passing this is the scene I thought of straight away. RIP Carl 🤍
Rocky trained so hard he outsprinted a black man. Incredible.
Before Rocky III he was just a fighter who could throw powerful left hooks and then Apollo trains him into an athlete who could jab and use his speed to beat his opponent, this is what confused Clubber lang in the second fight, first he used his jab so Clubber Lang couldn't touch him and then hooks to knock him out in the later rounds when Clubber Lang was tired! I love this training scene! It incorporates a broken mans personal desire to rise and become a champion again, all in the space of around 3 minutes! Excellently directed.
Absolutely love the budding friendship between two great champions, once sworn enemies. Amazing.
Like Goku and Piccolo
They were never enemies, just rivals
Rip sir carl weathers we’ll see you soon
R.I.P Carl.. 1948-2024.
With all due respect to Stallone for writing, acting and directing brilliantly, this montage is such a masterpiece between the director of photography Bill Butler and editor Don Zimmerman and others OTHER than Stallone because they are using light, shadow and editing to show a man coming out of the darkness into the light. Look at the early scenes of the montage where Rocky is moving between light and shadow in the dark gym, light and dark, deciding if he really wants this? And as the montage progresses, the scenes get lighter and lighter until the final scene on the beach is shot with NO shadows, which visually represents that Rocky has cast his shadows of the past and is ready. I'm sorry but Stallone did not have anything to do with this master photography and editing. These are MASTERS that were helping him. And I'm sure Stallone would give such credit.
Thanks for everything, Carl Weathers! Rest in Power!
Rip Apollo 🙏
RIP Apollo 😢
Beat a black man in a running match.
THAT is when you are ready.
If you look close it looks like Apollo let him win
@@princeofnohr8572 That is the point
Arthur Dinesh a running match 😂 nigga you mean a race
@@GodlyODB I'm dieing 😂🤣
Finn The Goldfish he know that was stupid to say
funny how apollo teaches him to dodge, duck and weave while they use none of that shit later in the fights..
Aladdin Aldilawi Yeah, that kind of bothered me that he seemed to forget all of Apollo's boxing training after this movie and went back to being just a slugger.
Lone Wolf83 And so he became a tank again.
True. Big moviemistakes. But in R5 he jabbed the crap out of Tommy. Some technique was shown. R4 was just unthinkable stupid boxing.
in rocky iiii he was overcome by the death of Apollo, he was also scared of drago which could have made him have a panic attack and forget all training from Apollo and go back to his most comfortable techniques that he always knew.
And that's why this is the last Rocky movie. Apollo is alive, y'all.
I LOVE how Adrian is right there with Rocky during his training. She is definitely his muse, and even though she wasn't always a fan of Rocky being a boxer...she's right by his side, selflessly Supporting and encouraging him as he re-makes himself to battle Clubber Lang. She's the ultimate wife
One of the greatest and most inspirational movies. R.I.P. to Carl Weathers, what an great man. ❤
Apollo was always a good man, just too hung up on his own ego during the first two fights. I love how Rocky III shows an admission of this and how Apollo became in some ways a replacement for Mick. Such a well-written series and this training session is one of my favourites. Thank you for the upload.
At 2:47 you can see Stallone shout "now!" for the other guy to slow down :P
É mesmo. Vendo com a velocidade em 1.5 isso fica bem claro
XD
Rest in peace Carl Weathers 🙏🙏🙏
the friendship between these 2 is awesome
RIP Carl Weathers 💪🏿
As a kid growing up and watching this film. It was really so inspiring. The bromance and motivation. I can definitely it contributed to me being in the successful position I am today.
One of the greatest friendships ever
This shows that if you want to get into shape or do something you gotta for it, it's not just gonna come in a day.
03:05 An alternative ending for the Rocky series: After Rocky beat Clubber he and Apollo got a place by the beach in San Fransisco and lived happily ever after.
Se llama cariño, no es nada homosexual
The first thing that comes to my mind when someone says Carl Weathers is this masterpiece of a montage. So sad to hear that he is gone, but we should all be glad that we had the chance to see him do his thing!
god bless all rocky characters ♥ rip Carl Weathers
R.I.P. Carl Weathers
Such an uplifting scene, arch rivals uniting.
RIP APOLLO 💯🙏🏽
Seeing Rocky and Apollo hugging each other and being best friends makes me smile
I’ve met someone who has actually been in the same gym as Carl Weathers. They have seen him train. They only said one thing after they saw him: “That guy is the real deal.”
After seeing Weathers in the rocky franchise, it’s impossible to not agree with that person.
Rest easy Carl. ❤️🩹
I don't know about y'all but the scene where they are in front of the mirror hittin the 2 step slide...gives me goosebumps and...i get a little teary eyed...#iconic
my favorite part of the montage shit is soo groovy and amazing
RIP Carl Weathers 😢
1:57 Just love how Apollo goes "Hoho!" after Rocky manages to turn him around. Seemed genuinely impressed.
RIP Apollo...
R.I.P. Carl Weathers
Watching this one for you 🕊️
