Not to mention Paulie, as a character tends to really get the short end of the stick, people never stop and consider things from the character's point of view. Like they get on him for the big fight with the bat, forgetting that Paulie had come home to his sister and best friend talking shit about him1. As Paulie points out, he set Rocky and Adrian up, he gives Rocky free meat (endangering his job), offered to help with the training and all he had ever asked is for Rocky to put in a good word with Gazo so Paulie could get a better job; and that's just the first one. Paulie isn't a saint but through the series he time and time again goes to bat for his people, at times when even Rocky doesn't.

You're correct about Burt Young playing the mob boss in Mickey Blue Eyes. Sadly we lost Burt in 2023. RIP Burt Young and Carl Weathers.

rocky is a love story. When Rocky is knocked down in the 14th and Mickey is telling him to stay down, it shows how much Mickey cares for rocky and how much of a beating Rocky had taken. Mickey was basically tossing in the towel. With the music it always makes me tear up. rocky did not knock out Creed because after 1 round of keeping your hands up with gloves is tiring, try 15 with a guy trying to kill you, hard to even keep your hands up at that point.

The reference to the "three rounds" by the announcers before the fight was basically the Las Vegas betting odds that Rocky would not last even three rounds with Creed.

So satisfying to watch you go from being skeptical at the beginning to being all in on Rocky 2. Some say Rocky 2 is even better.

As terrific and Best-Picture worthy as this movie is, Rocky 2 is indeed better.

I saw this on the big screen as a teenager when it first came out and it was pretty amazing. The country was getting ready to celebrate its bicentennial birthday and patriotism was everywhere. I remember the buzz about this film growing until it became a bona fide sensation. Great reaction! Proof that good stories never lose their touch.

If no one else has explained it yet. Hugging and holding on to an opponent is a defense technique used by boxers to minimize getting hit. So the fight ended with Apollo realizing he was in danger of falling down and holding Rocky tightly to prevent it. And Rocky instinctively hugged Apollo back to avoid the possibility of a unexpected sucker punch.. Anyway, great reaction and looking forward to seeing you fall in love with these characters and their journey!

Although “Taxi Driver” was an incredibly well-made film, “Rocky” was a much more inspiring, positive, feel -good experience that appealed to the Academy which is why it won Best Picture and is still considered a classic.

What makes this movie stand is the characters and the situation are believable and relatable. If Rocky won it is Hollywood. But we all know those moments where the odds are against the person and they put up a hell of a fight. This is why it is so satisfying. Everyone knows he is out classed but he fights against an impossible situation.

38:24 "what are you thinking about when that buzzer sounded?" Rocky: "ADRIAN!!!!" Get's me every time

He won Oscars for this as well . Screenplay and best picture. As a producer

If you're curious about Burgess Meredith, check out OF MICE AND MEN (1939).

1976 was our 200th Birthday, thats why Creed was dressed that way, we celebrated that Bicentennial Birthday the whole year, we even had bicentennial quarters for that one year. The 200th birthday is what gave Sly the idea for the film.

Yes that’s his actual dog and turtles

To keep costs down Stallone used family members for small roles. One of the singers was his brother Frank and the man that rang the bell during the Apollo fight was Stallone's father. These weren't only times in the franchise he would use members of his family for parts in the movies.

They get even better. This series plays out like a dramatic soap opera. The characters grow. I don’t know if this is the movie you were thinking of with Burt Young, but I’ve seen him in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, a great comedy.

It was never about him winning. It was about gong the distance. That was a win for Rocky in itself..He got the girl and his Pride and dignity ! Please please please watch every single one.

Yes, it was his real-life dog .

Just came across your channel due to this film. Coby, really enjoy your enthusiasm, good nature & commentary. What a movie; most think it's a boxing story...& are amazed it's a love story about a boxer. I think it's one of the best performances out there. (For a close second by Stallone, you must watch "Oscar", which I think is brilliant because it's so 180° out from what he is known for. Add to that an all-star cast & a fast moving storyline...excellent!)

Notice Rocky isn't listening to see who wins. He just wants Adrian. The lesson is he won in his heart by going the distance finding himself in his love for Adrian

the 14th round of this fight will always be my favorite round of all the Rocky movies..this won best picture because its grand, moving and had a perfect love story tossed into it as well as a subtle forefront..the way Adrian tells Rocky she loves him at the end is as chilling as the fight itself because its the first time either says it and it was fitting that Adrian said it first and brought it out of him..such a perfect end

Such an incredible series & I hope you continue this journey!

The guy with the scali cap is the guy Stallone sold his dog to. The deal was he gave him his dog back and he put him in the movie. Taxi Driver, Network, Rocky and All the President's Men were up for Best Picture. Rocky was released in December of 1976 and Star Wars May of 1977, 6 months apart. Rocky's budget was 1.2 million dollars and shot in 30 days. Still the lowest budget film to win Best Picture. The movie came out in 1976 during the Bicentennial. The movie played off it. To a younger generation 1976 was almost a running 4th of July for those of us who were kids then.

Part 2 is the best one and one of the most inspirational movies of all time to me.

I really like the way the final fight between Rocky and Creed was filmed. It is filmed from an outside perspective of the ring, as if from the point of view from watching it on television, or as a member of the audience. It gives this fight such a real feeling to it.

What a great review. Glad you visiting some classics! I thought for sure you would cry just a little. 😢

Stallone still owns those turtles to this day!

I had the good fortune of seeing the Rocky movies in the theater. The Rocky movies had a unique way of pumping people up, and you walked out of the theater yelling Go Rocky! LOL

Tough guy + tender heart = infinitely loveable! That's the winning formula for the Rocky franchise.

So glad you began this franchise Gem 💎 Coby,you gonna love the sequels it gets better. And Burt Young was on "Carlito's Way: Rise To Power"(2007) that's the last movie i saw him in that he's a Mob Boss. Talia Shire is also on "The Godfather" Franchise & she got into filmmaking during the 80's amongst her late husband Jack Schwartzman one of those that's very memorable to me was "Rad"(1986) she's in the movie as well

Burgess Meredith stared in "Of Mice and Men." With Lon Cheney in the 30s, excellent movie! You should check it out. Excellent reaction!

Rocky 2 is my favorite for alot of reasons. The referee in the movie was a real fighter in the 40s and 50s. My Dad was also a professional boxer from Mexico and came to the US in the early 50s. Dad fought him twice and won. The boxers name was Lou filipo. We have have my dad's gloves from those fights and Lou signed them. My dad never was champ, but he fought all the ranked contenders of that time. Love watching your reactions!

You got the character quickly. Most reaction channels don't put enough into the real story before they show the action.

Burgess Meredith is SO friggin' brilliant as Mick. And every time i watch this i am also blown away by Stallone's INCREDIBLE characterization of a good natured meathead. He's so flippin funny and sweet and nuanced, with rare glimpses of resentment and despondence. Unbelievable oerformances.

The cut man in a boxing match is there to help keep the boxers face and eyes from swelling shut, and to treat cuts in such a way to stop them bleeding. Cutting a boxer to release the pressure is rare, that’s why it squirts. It’s not allowed now, nor are fight’s allowed over 12 rounds. Most fatalities in boxing happen in the last three rounds, that’s why it’s only 12 now.

Thanks for the great reaction! I want to take a second and thank you for actually watching, you'd be shocked how many reactors finish the movie and claim to have no idea how the movie ended. I really hope you do the rest of the franchise. I'll be here for it.

Love your reaction. Your comments are entertaining and not obtrusive. Very pleasant seeing you genuinely enjoy this iconic movie :) I always note what people say about Rocky & Adriane's first love scene, I liked that you seemed to consider what you thought, it bothers me when some reviewers paint that scene as an assault. A strong guy and a physical guy has to consciously drop gears in close female company. Sometimes it's hard to remember. I was not surprised he was attracted to Adriane, the big boy grows up either a bully or a protector, and Rocky is the protector forced to be a bully. Adriane was the damsel most in distress which brought out his shining knight. The less she talked the more withdrawn she was the more infatuated he got. ❤️❤️

Much better movie than Taxi Driver and deservingly won the award.....

36:40 "it's OK Adrian. He's not going to die." Weeeelllllll... About 500 professional boxers died in the ring or in the hospital after a fight between 1900-1995. Countless amateurs might have died too, though their fights are shorter and less likely to end in a lethal blow. Very few of those dead boxers took this much of a beating. That's why Mickey was telling Rocky to "stay down" so he wouldn't get up and die. It's very possible. Also, that said, during the filming of Rocky 4, Stallone had to be rushed to the emergency room and very nearly died from the punches he received just filming a boxing movie. So the damage boxers can take is real, and it can be fatal. And THIS much damage is insane and almost never happens for real - welcome to the movies. But here she is, in that movie, seeing this damage. She's right to worry.

When Mick comes to Rock trying to help him without looking like he was using him, but because he can see what's going to happen and Rock can only see how Mick treated him and belittled him for as long as he's known him to only have a big enough heart to let it go and he can't have that so he runs after him to apologize and accept his help...it always makes me tear up.

You re the first reactor Ive seen who actually listened to the Ring announcer giving the judges score cards and declaring Creed the winner. So well done. And yes, the bell saved Creed. But Rocky was also pretty punched out so he couldn't get that finishing shot in before the bell sounded. Critics generally agree that Rocky 2 is the better movie of the two. IMO I'd lean 1, but 2 is amazing as well.

The mistake on the poster with his trunks was a real mistake. They couldn't afford to re-do the poster so Stallone wrote the mistake into the movie. Also Mick was telling Rocky to stay down so he wouldn't take anymore punishment.

Just landed here. You are beautifully adorable and sincere in reacting. So many great actors, scenes and lines. A lovely movie indeed. I am in a certain minority, but I equally love his contemporary and far less known Paradise Alley. The two movies are like twins separated at birth. Thanks for a great reaction. Burt Young died recently. You had it with Mickey BE. Cool recall. Good health to all!

You were right cut men are there to get the swelling down and try and stop cuts from bleeding they’re not supposed to that’s why Micky has a awkward look around hoping no one saw.

So happy you're getting to these! I'll be watching all of them (except Rocky V) lol. Love your reactions

Yeah, that was Rocky's dog, named after Hall of Fame Chicago Bear Dick Butkus. The turtles were still alive as of the filming of the 2nd Creed movie. The pet shop owner had kept them alive the whole time. They were 45 years old when Creed 2 was filmed.

Great reaction to a true classic!!!! You had some questions: yes, it is my understanding that the dog in the movie was his dog, a "cut" man in boxing is someone who has the knowledge and expertise to treat the cuts that occur during a fight (actual cutting like we saw in the movie is very rare), I don't think Rocky was holding Apollo up, they both were at close quarters to one another trying to knock each other out but neither could get the job done. Best wishes to you for this channel and your other one (I'm subscribed to both). I am really enjoying you watching the great movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's that I've seen and enjoyed all my life.

Even though Rocky barely says anything during the first ten minutes of the film, you already know everything about him based on his actions, facial expressions, and mannerisms. That's great writing by Stallone and directing by the late John Avildsen.

2:40 "Is this some small time underground illegal boxing ring? Or legit?" Small-time: yes. Underground: no. Illegal: no. Legit: yes. This is a gym where boxers train. The ring is so that two of them can get in and practice. Sometimes they arrange a paid event in these gyms. They sell tickets and pay the boxers, pay the ref, and the gym owner gets to keep some too. They might only sell 20 or 30 tickets, or maybe 50, and nobody gets paid very much. But every bit of it is perfectly legal.

So sophisticated…love the Rocky reviews … I grew up with them in the 80s/90s

Good one, Coby! Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂

This was the very first movie that had a steadycam! In fact the steady cam was specifically designed for the Stairs Scene because they wanted to follow him up the steps and circle around him and end up behind him looking out over Philly!

8:29 You've got to love the dynamic between Rocky and Adrian. You can tell _Adrian_ likes _Rocky_ because she never _says_ anything when he's around. And you can tell _Rocky_ likes _Adrian_ because he never _stops_ talking when she's around.

37:30 "Is that what the cut man does?" You are right. If a boxer is bleeding too much, the referee will stop the fight. Even if it's just a nose-bleed, the ref can still stop the fight. But sometimes a boxer's face gets cut. The opponent's glove can tear a boxer's face, and some cuts are caused if the fighters bump heads which happens a lot, actually, almost always on accident. If the cut bleeds too much, the ref stops the fight. If a cut is over the boxer's eye, the blood can get into his eye and a ref will ALWAYS stop the fight when that happens because if the man can't see, he'll get killed out there. So the cut man's job is to manage those cuts and stop the bleeding. They have medicines that are excellent at reducing bleeding. This extra thing of cutting open the swelling to let the fluids out so Rocky can see is pretty much a boxing myth. Stallone took this myth and turned it into a big moment in this movie. Real fight doctors will tell you that this is almost certain to lead to an instant stoppage by the ref and wouldn't help Rocky see anything anyway.

Great reaction :). I'm definitely subscribing to watch these.

Fun fact the group singing on the street corner the lead singer is frank stallone Sylvester brother. Burgess Meredith played the penguin in the old batman and robin tv series from the 60s and one of the munchkins in wizard of oz

Nicky told Rocky to stay down because Rocky took so much punishment and Micky didn’t want him to die.

Chuck is a darn good movie in its own way.

"Rocky" is hands down one of THE greatest movies in cinematic history. Fun fact: Butkus the English Mastiff was actually Stallone's dog in real life. And, yes, you're right about a then-broke Stallone having to sell his beloved Butkus for $25. And after Rocky made Stallone famous, he offered guy who bought the dog for $25 a tidy profit of $500. Knowing who Stallone was, the guy refused the offer. Stallone then offered $1000, and the guy still refused. Stallone finally got Butkus back, but not before he had to pay a whopping $15,000! And as Stallone can attest that a "dog is man's best friend" and HOW much he loved that dog, Sly not only paid $15,000 to get it back, but he "only" was paid $35,000 by the Studio for doing the movie, so it showed how far Stallone was willing to go in order to get Butkus back :) P.S. LOLOL@your reaction when Rocky drank the raw eggs

Yes, after getting his dog back, he then gave him a starring role in the movie.😊

You are completely right when you thought that was his dog.
