Ain't a more inspiring 10 minutes of film in existence. From the music to the juxtaposition of the two warriors training for ultimate battle, leaving nothing on the table. Beautiful cinematography as well with the cold hard winter of Russia making Rocky even stronger. Love it!!
The scene when rocky lift his wife n friends up n drago lifting the weights up n plus when rocky screams drago’s name on top on the mountain always get me goosebumps everytime🙏😎😂❤️
I know why. I watched the documentary on the making of the director’s cut of Rocky IV, and during the editing of the “No Easy Way Out” driving montage, Stallone wanted straight-on closeups of his face edited out. His reasoning is that it feels purely vain and reminds you that you are watching a movie. They didn’t show him talking about the ‘grabbing the picture of Drago’ part, but it’s safe to assume the same reasoning applies here.
Removing Rocky crushing that picture of Drago was the biggest crime to this re-edited training montage. Yes, it was cheesy (and Stallone was trying to remove the cheese) and it also looked like Rocky was confident in destroying Drago despite getting destroyed straight away... BUT... crushing that picture at the peak of the 'Hearts on Fire' song was the embodiment of 80's passion (and the song itself). If you're going to use something as inspirational and over the top as 'Hearts on Fire', then go the distance with the scene itself. The picture crush fit like a glove to this Movie.
Yes, you knew Drago was toast when he crushed the picture. That moment and others helped created the juxtaposition between the pre Adrian arrives moment, where he’s not as motivated and the post, where he’s ready to go full on. Now you can swap either montage and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
The original movie has a special place because of how raw it was. But, Rocky IV is very close…I can’t but help love this movie almost as much. The 80s were the best.
What’s nuts is Stallone basically completely cut her out of this director’s cut because she is his ex-wife, compare this scene to the original one and it’s 90% identical except for the new aspect ratio and the fact every shot of her face has been removed.
It's crazy there was a lawsuit when they filmed this because they exposed equipment that wasn't supposed to be seen by the public yet. It makes you wonder how far ahead they really are with technology then what we know. Especially since this was way back in the 80s.
Rocky training like an Ancient Warrior, Drago training like a modern athlete. Rocky training like Viking in the cold weather and harsh environment, Drago training like soft modern days inside a gym. Just incredible training montage. INSPIRING.
I miss when movies had their IT moment like “remember the scene in the movie where…” you don’t have that these days. Also moments like these are burned in your memory. I remember seeing this when I was 8 yrs old and to this day I always remember fondly and come back to this video to relive nostalgia.
The director’s cut is cool it almost show him training like in the first movie n part when the music comes on when they start training I always hype me up n give me goosebump every time 🙏😎😂❤️
I honestly like this version of the montage better then the first but only because of the extra added scenes That being said… I wish sly would have kept the part of him crushing the picture of drago That literally was the only thing missing and this would have been the perfect blend of montage Before the fight
One of many reasons why Drago is training. He knows Rocky is the best of the best and he shouldn't underestimate him. Drago also knows it's a revenge fight more than anything else. I really like this cut . It's too bad sly didn't keep what he had and just mix the 2. Like the robot, the beginning with him and creed fighting each other for fun. That would have made it the ultimate Rocky lV 👍🏻💯🥊🇺🇸
Drago from the beginning was the only character in the Rocky franchise to never underestimate his opponents. Apollo underestimated Rocky and drago. Clubber underestimated Rocky more or less, but not as much as Apollo. But drago was heavily prepared for Rocky and Apollo in the first fight, he didn't trash talk but just boxed. He let his actions speak for him.He lost, but he lost with honour.
He DID underestimate Rocky. Drago has never had to go that long, he didn't think the fight would last as long as it did. Rocky is used to going 15 rounds because he's done it twice before. He's also used to fighting taller and heavier opponents.
2:30 For some reason, when it cuts to him doing pull ups after he’s worn thin carrying the sled, it gives me chills. It’s like a peaceful “we’re in this now” moment.
adorei ver o rocky socando o saco de boxe novamente. senti falta disso no corte original. sempre que faço treinos no saco ou na barra, me sinto como o rocky kkkkkkk
He said in the extras that his thought process back then was not to prolong scenes (the dramatic ones in particular) because the audience might get bored. But with this cut in its entirety, it feels more emotional than the theatrical cut, which means Stallone accomplished his goal imo.
For real, this Is the greatest, most inspiring montage in movie history... This and the I Got A Name sequence from Django Unchanged are 2 of my favorite movie scenes ever
minute 2:25 is the best to motivate you!!!!! when i see this in 2:25 !!!! i want to go to the gym inmediately!!! i love these video , thanks for sharing...
A couple of different angles, previously unseen scenes and a touch up of the soundtrack.. not bad at all, I like it.. dolph reminds me of val Kilmer when he played iceman from the original top gun
The bourgeois Drago training in perfect conditions acquired through abuse of the proletariat and accumulation of capital, uncaring of his fellow people vs The model anticolonial Soviet Роки training using that which is available to him, becoming one with his surroundings and community. Pure правда, a perfect Soviet film
I disagree with those who think the sound editing is better here. It's pretty apparent some of the sounds were artificially made for some of the segments and amplified in others. A lot of this is unnecessary considering the audience isn't going to be interested in what the feet sound like running through the snow or the clanking of dumbbell weights. It's about pumping the audience up for the big fight ahead, not about giving them the gym experience. These added sound effects detract, heavily, from what made this montage so great. Even the prolonging of "Hearts on Fire" near the end is too distracting in order to add in an extra piece of footage that, either, should've been discarded or could've replaced another segment elsewhere. I do enjoy this cut, but the Training Montage, here, feels less exciting. For some things in life, less is more; and I believe that's the key to sound effects in the montage.
I always wonder who did that stunt going on top of the mountain with chopper shot at long range, if that was Stallone and not a stunt man props to him when he was young that was an incredible feat to achieve.
It had to be a stunt man. But it was an incredibly badass mountain climbing scene. Stallone had incredible footage ideas, thanks to his tenacity as he struggled to make it as a writer and actor before his due recognition. No doubt. If he had given up on his dreams and desires, we would not have Rocky to be inspired by.

Watching this scene alone increases your testosterone by 40%
It’s just empowering in general
Agreed
I watch it when workout 😅
Agreed!!
@@mammomammo5329 not only you 🤜🏼
4 was the best.
Great soundtrack.
Great film, 80's style.
If you revert I must punch face...
And everything was on the line for Rocky to avenge Apollo, he went to another country and had to beat Drago in his own home.
Financially the best …soundtrack 100 but Rocky 3 had everything!
@@RiruKrypto_ and it’s just a movie …nothing was on line but ego.
@@anthonylewis3095 thanks, I didn’t know it was fake like you spewing nonsense.

Perfectly stated. Couldn't agree more.
That’s a lot of spit for one spit
Lol I watch every now and again, and so many times as a kid when it was new on VHS 😂😂🏋🏻♂🏃🏻♂
Wow, very well said my friend👏👏
Best training sequence in any movie past, present, and yet to come
The scene when rocky lift his wife n friends up n drago lifting the weights up n plus when rocky screams drago’s name on top on the mountain always get me goosebumps everytime🙏😎😂❤️
I can't believe Stallone took out Rocky grabbing Drago's picture off the mirror. That's the best part of the montage.
Wow. Why did he do that. Didnt notice till now
Yeah. Really didnt need to touch the edit of the montage. It was perfect
he took the shadow boxing at night short clip too that needs to be in also!!!
Wow

I think every fighter who trains before a fight now grows their beard out because of this movie which is awesome
This movie can't be beaten. Everything about it makes it great, story, actors, soundtrack it's so good x
Last samurai beats it.
This movie is still way ahead of its time with the training equipment. Some of this shit still isn’t available to the public
It's crazy there was a lawsuit when they filmed this because they exposed equipment that wasn't supposed to be seen by the public yet. It makes you wonder how far ahead they really are with technology then what we know. Especially since this was way back in the 80s.
LMAO 🤣
I’m pretty sure there were prototypes of modern devices in those times and we probably will never know
Rocky training like an Ancient Warrior, Drago training like a modern athlete. Rocky training like Viking in the cold weather and harsh environment, Drago training like soft modern days inside a gym. Just incredible training montage. INSPIRING.
Yes, because the first thing anyone thinks about Drago is how soft he is…
your right nature also made him hard. 4 has the most intense training
@@jonharrison9222 both of them had blood burning workout routines but his implying that Dragos routine was easier than Rocky's.
The amount of times I rewind my Rocky IV 🥊 cassette tape back in the 80's on this tune alone everyday in the gym!
i fucking destroyed the gym to this music
Same
80s synthz in musik, great story line , wicked ending, can't beat it!!!!
It's amazing how I still get goosebumps from this scene, especially from 7:24
That tree was like, WTF DID I DO TO YOU, MAN?
Got in the way of Ricky's training.
@@RIZEorDIE Who's Ricky?
Draagooooo!!!!!

Change your life men. Work out everyday. Be like this
Fasho and don’t put yo trust on these woman💯
Also, get a degree.
Or 3.
6:17 I like how sweaty Duke is by Rockys workout.
I honestly like this version of the montage better then the first but only because of the extra added scenes

Before the fight
*Best Rocky Movie Best Soundtrack Best Motivational Musical Score!*
Awesome, beyond words. As a totally flowed human-being I do pray to God-Almighty for this inspiration, in Jesus-name I thank you!

This motivates me to get my fat ass to the gym everyday.
Y el mio flaco tambien jajaja
The best Training Montage 🔥🥊🔥🥊🔥
My only negative is the removal of Rocky grabbing dragons picture. That moment was like Rocky’s saying he was going to defeat him!
Loved both cuts tbh 💪💪💪
6:07 best moment motivation
3:18 The Best moment ! ❤️🩹
2:30 For some reason, when it cuts to him doing pull ups after he’s worn thin carrying the sled, it gives me chills. It’s like a peaceful “we’re in this now” moment.
Proper yard work will make you a champion
Not bad, director's cut is cool, but I am sticking with the original, it just hit so much harder for me
You’re right
This is calmer.
Me too
I still rip scotchtaped photographs of my adversaries from the mirror because of the original cut. Why back to jumping rope Sly? Why?”
Me too.. but I like Apollo not just got beaten but gave more in the fight against Drago ..that was awesome
What a Sound Editing! Waaaaay better than the original! Thanks Sly!
To be honest I like this more than the original.
Why!?
That was actually the original, the director's cut (Sly's original). It would have been awesome.
@@essamgossiel6377 well I like the other original better
thats original..
No it isn't. The original version didn't have these different looking scenes and sound effects.
Wow didn’t know this existed and I’m a huge fan of this scene.
Rocky is such a good series
Anyone saying they do not have the proper training equipment to exercise, stop making excuses!!!
True that! But against a Russian winter? Fk! 😆
adorei ver o rocky socando o saco de boxe novamente. senti falta disso no corte original. sempre que faço treinos no saco ou na barra, me sinto como o rocky kkkkkkk
I got a test coming up but didn't study. However, due to the fact that I watched this scene, I'll pass.
Pasaste
best scene ever amazing upload in amazing quality! I appreciate it!
ROCKY 4 is my favorite film.
That zoom on Dragos photo with that jarring music brings gives me goosebumps everytime
Rocky 4 was a good movie 🍿🎥 I enjoyed in the past
Thank you for uploading director’s cut. First time i am watching this version.
Sly should have never deleted these scenes, the would have added more flavor to the film. It could have been the best franchise ever.
He didn’t
Rocky 1 2 3 4 fuck the rest
I hope somehow mgm and Stallone agree to edit the film good enough to include the scenes from the director’s cut and the theatrical cut.
He said in the extras that his thought process back then was not to prolong scenes (the dramatic ones in particular) because the audience might get bored. But with this cut in its entirety, it feels more emotional than the theatrical cut, which means Stallone accomplished his goal imo.
For real, this Is the greatest, most inspiring montage in movie history... This and the I Got A Name sequence from Django Unchanged are 2 of my favorite movie scenes ever
The first part is simply outstanding.
Goosebumps 👌🏼👏🥰😇🔥
Vince dicola made an excellent work.
Extraordinaria escena Rocky es una bestia.
OMG "ultimate Directors Cut" 👀🏋🏻♂🏃🏻♂
I love this training montage of King Shark and King Nereus 💪
I thought it was Judge Dredd and Frank Castle 😅
@@dgnx69 Wait and what about Demolition Man and He-Man? 😳
Wait, aren’t we forgetting the OBVIOUS? Marion Cobretti and Chris Kenner.
The thing I prefer in this version is how much the colors pop this time around!
Excactly the original colours where more yellow and picture more cropped
minute 2:25 is the best to motivate you!!!!! when i see this in 2:25 !!!! i want to go to the gym inmediately!!! i love these video , thanks for sharing...
the hardest training rocky did for sure
The moment of truth is here.
Is heeeeeere
AWWW YEAAAAAHH!!!
For anyone who says I can’t exercise and train because I cant get to a health club….REALLY????? 🤣🤣
Great Quality, thank‘s Dude!
Now, I feel a lot better
Wow 🤩 really good 👍 scenes
The video and song are very good. You have to see both in 2160p HDR resolution.
3 will always be my favorite
I agree 3 is my favorite along with the original
Rocky IV ruled allllll the rockys
Incroyable
4:51 goosebumps!!
If you feel unmotivated to train, watch this video and I guarantee you will work out to failure and more
Best version
excellent contribution brother thanks
The best and showed it
8:22 When I finish on the toilet
Thank god they kept the other version in
A couple of different angles, previously unseen scenes and a touch up of the soundtrack.. not bad at all, I like it.. dolph reminds me of val Kilmer when he played iceman from the original top gun
Dolph rocked the flat top 1 year before Val, though.😁
Val Kilmer is pure nothing compared to Dolph
Thank u guys hd
Here in 2023 we're going up against Ivan Drago, but instead of Rocky the best we can do is Dylan Mulveany
Clown World
No pain, no pain, no pain!!
The bourgeois Drago training in perfect conditions acquired through abuse of the proletariat and accumulation of capital, uncaring of his fellow people vs The model anticolonial Soviet Роки training using that which is available to him, becoming one with his surroundings and community.

The difference is drago trained in Russia. Rocky let Russia train him
Bodybuilding in my 30th year now and still I play the rocky 4 soundtrack whilst lifting with my 17 year old son. He wants to put his AirPods in🤦♂️

Lundgren was underrated very handsome fellow
In 4k quality and super low volume also for not the best listening experience.
Increíble ♡
Training for the week and I will be able to win
we all have a drago, you can do it !
Shit man I can't continue to hold it ... Rip Apollo Creed
I love how I’m the rocky movies there’s always a black guy in the background, hell even the Russians had a black dude in the training montage 😂
he could be cuban
