    I love it when rocky says 'I was hoping he wouldn't show'
    The respect he has for the champion is classy...even if Apollo doesn't give the same respect to him (at least till the end of the fight)

Basically Stallone was looking for kids in the Philly area to run with him. He had the time of his life. He even got a picture with Stallone which was later sent to him and autographed. It still hangs up in his living room today.

    The actor who plays Mickey is Burgess Meredith. He was the first Penguin in the 60s Batman movies and series. He blows Devito outta the water. Stallone has been one to always overcome. He was born w a pinched nerve ( why he has that slight mouth paralysis) then it was a few years back that his real son, Sage passed away so I always admire him

    • @coachmikesfilmroom3111

      I would say Devito and Burgess both amaze as the penguin, they did a different approach to the character.
      And IMO Sly is a real life champ, overcame lots of obstacles to bring his character to the movies, he even had to fight to be the main actor of the movie. And after all this years, Rocky and Rambo are pop culture icons, he continues to make movies, has won golden globe for acting and an Oscar for original script.

    As a Philadelphian, I can say that folks whp got to be just extras in a Rocky movie get total respect, to an almost ridiculous extent.
    Fun fact: in the first film, since they did not have a large budget, so they had to film the fight in reverse, so they could peel the makeup for each round. This made them look normal at the start of the fight.

    This was just as raw and real as the first with a much deeper story line. The dedication and love he shows by going to the hospital and reading to Adrian while she is in her coma, her subsequent realization that Rocky needs to be who he is and "Win" is just so powerful. The only hiccup with the film is running through the streets of Philadelphia at 6:00 am and being followed by all those kids. Trust me on this, it was Philly in the 70's, 1) there is no way in heck they would be out in the streets Philly was a very rough, crime ridden city at that time and 2) being that it is a major city, no way the streets would be empty for 1000 kids to run free. I think if you remove that scene this is another Oscar winner.

But because he did so much to get her out of her shell and to trust him and love him, her protection is extremely indestructible of him and it’s hard to break through even for Rocky.

    I love this movie. I enjoy it more than the first one too. It's even better when you realize that the fighting is just a metaphor for living your life: It's not about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you pick yourself back up and continue to fight. It's also very endearing to see a man who isn't the smartest, but has a good heart. I definitely recommend watching the whole series. They're all pretty good in their own way (except 5). Rocky III is the debut of Mr. T! Rocky III & the A-Team catapulted him to super-stardom. You'll see why! Now, I'll have to go watch these movies again.

  • @gutz1981
    @gutz1981 3 года назад +2

    One of the main reasons for the plot line of switching from Southpaw to Orthodox is because while training for this film, with Mr Olympia Franco Columbo, Stallone tore his right peck BADLY. He needed massive surgery and over I think 100 stitches to repair the damage (though it forever changed his body forever as is obvious when you seen him when he is leaner) and as such, could not jab with his right hand in this film.

And that is great filmmaking ❤ And because I'm a girl, the way he holds up that belt and gives his shout out to Adrian is just sexy as hell.

    Your reactions are great I've been watching these movies since 76 and when I see someone that has never seen the before react like that it's great hate to spoil it for you but they become best friends Rocky and Apollo

    In hindsight, I always regard Rocky 1 + 2 as one film because the tone and story continues so well in this first sequel. Amazing movies - all time favourites of this movie series.

    Apollo Creed is honestly my favorite character in the series. I get that Rocky is the underdog, but Creed has the best character arc in my opinion. Apollo Creed is about the American Dream and never plays the victim (unlike a LOT of people today), so I respect him.

    • @TenTonNuke
      @TenTonNuke 3 года назад +7

      One of the many reasons I disliked the movie Creed is because they took this upstanding, disciplined, honorable man, and instead of using him as an example for young black men to strive toward, they made him cheat on his wife and have a baby mama. They made him a stereotype and lowered the bar.
