It is a good movie when you feel sorry for the "bad guys" in the end.

The Rumble in the Jungle was one of the most famous boxing matches of all time, between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. It was in the African nation of Zaire in 1974. It was common to give huge, important matches an exciting title to advertise the fight, and since a lot of people in the West associate Africa with jungles, this was the name chosen.

10:16 The Rumble in the Jungle was a real-life boxing match between Muhammed Ali and George Foreman held in 1974 in Zaire, Africa. It's a little weird whenever the "Rockyverse" peppers in real events that occured in boxing. In the Rockyverse, Apollo Creed is supposed to be a fictionalized version of Muhammed Ali, as the character was heavily inspired by the real-life boxer. But then the movies make passing references to Ali or his fights, and it makes you wonder if Ali also existed as a totally separate person from Apollo within the continuity of the films.

Yeah I think Ali is a seperate person from Apollo despite Apollo being based on Ali. Rocky is based on Joe Frazier (inspired by Chuck Wepner) yet Joe Frazier appeared in Rocky 1 in a cameo, goofing around with Apollo during the fight introduction.

Apollo and Rocky's era kinda picks up after the real life 70s era boxing and, in effect, replaces the 80s with Holmes, Spinks, etc...

​@@wasabi5338Where did you get that from? Sylvester Stallone says himself, that he was inspired by the story between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that the character is also based on Chuck Webner. Watch the Chuck Webner movie from 2016

I agree with the viewpoint about the Drago family. They were completely cast out by the Soviet elite society, which set off chains of events of continuous downhill life for the duo. And of course Viktor trying to so hard to impress his mother and gain her approval and love. That scene where Viktor, with his agonizing face, saw the empty chairs after his mother and her assistants left just added more emotional trauma to the physical and mental pain that he's already suffering. Another scene that makes me very emotional is when Ivan threw the towel into the ring to stop the fight, as he came to the realization that Viktor is his son who's the only person he truly loves, and not just some fighting machine like how the Soviets trained him back then, and didn't want him to be beaten to death, a callback to something which he did to Apollo. This movie I would say is better than the first one.

The family dynamic of this movie reminded me of Warrior. Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte as two brothers, two sons and a father and their relationship set against the backdrop of Mixed Martial Arts competition. Rocky and Adonis stories came full circle

Warrior is a fantastic movie :)

Drago's Son was played by German-Romanian professional boxer, Florian 'Big Nasty' Munteanu.

Totally agree with you on Drago family. It seemed cruel but more real. Surprisingly my biggest take away of the movie. Well acted and directed, to the point I was pulling for Drago. Wish they would have concentrated more on that story line. I could see a sequel just about the Drago's. There would be alot of ways to take that story,

@@MrKeychange Agreed. In Rocky 4 I was like, OK this guy is just a straight up dick. But now, because of hearing stories of these Soviet athletes and how they were treated. Maybe he was taken from his parents at age 5 and basically tortured mentally and physically until you ended up with this brain washed monster named Drago. I would feel sorry for him. And disgust for those that made him.

My favorite of the 3 Creed movies. Has very much heart and they give such a great backstoryto Drago. Very rewarding if u are a Rocky fan, not just some random fight against a opponent. Adding a Baby and family to Adonis also increased his stakes by much. Got teary when Drago did throw in the white towel where Rocky wasn’t allowed in Rocky 4, great callback.

Michael B. Jordan knocks it out of the park (or the ring?) again, providing a strong emotional backbone to the movie.

There is a great deleted scene which probably should have been included you should probably check out where Adonis, Victor, Ivan and Rocky reach an understanding after the fight which sets them up for possible films that is really great.

When We Were Kings - the movie about the Rumble in the Jungle fight between Mohammed Ali and George Foreman - is a great movie and I haven't seen anyone react to it yet 🙂

On the DVD there is a GREAT deleted scene that takes place after the last fight. Donnie walks into Viktor's dressing room, sits next to him and says something like "you can't base your life on just one fight." Then Rocky comes in, comes face to face with Ivan, and Ivan gives him a look that I understand as saying "yeah, everything is cool." Its a great scene and it actually help the next film makes more sense.

6:42 Not Paris, it’s Las Vegas my home ❤

If you want to see another heartfelt boxing movie, try Million Dollar Baby or Cinderella Man!

I get why Robert would move away from Philadelphia to get out from under the Rocky shadow, but I don’t get how after everything that they went through in Rocky Balboa that he wouldn’t at least have visited once to introduce his son to his grandfather. It’s like they only grew further apart after the sixth movie.

Robert is also Paulie's nephew. He picked up the defeatist/ blaming gene from him.

Yes, holding is illegal in boxing. Boxers will clinch each other during a fight, which is hugging their opponent to disrupt their attacks and to catch their own breath. It is against the rules, but it's up to the referee's discretion to enforce it. The ref will usually get in between the boxers to break up the clinch, but a boxer who is excessively clinching during a fight can be penalized with a loss of points. The ref may even end the fight if a boxer is clinching because they are clearly too tired or too injured to continue the fight. But Drago was fighting dirty there when he held Adonis' arm so he could punch him in the ribs.

This movie is punching in the feels over and over. The newborn who might have a hearing problem. Rocky and his son's relationship. Creed proposal, loss and getting over his dad's shadow and the Drago's subplot. That's nuts. Its hard to tell which one is my favorite between 1 and 2 because 1 builds Rocky and Adonis relationship to have a very good foundation and I loved that but 2 packs a lot more into it so I guess 2 edges it out.

Drago was abandoned by his mother, thrown into poverty and the dirt like rats while his mother lived in luxury. Drago carried his anger not only because of what happened to him but also because he loves his father dearly and wants to take revenge for him. In the end everyone on both sides sought redemption

Fun fact the boxer/actor who played wheeler who Adonis beat for the title is the 1 who helped train MICHAEL B JORDAN TO BOX FOR CREED 1&2

The change of feeling from the start about drago compared to the end is priceless 😂😂

Someone else has probably mentioned it, but that's Las Vegas @ 6:33, not Paris. It's half the size of the original Eiffel Tower and is meant to emulate the Paris experience. There's also another replica in China, too.

ive never been more happy for youtube recommending someone to me

This is extra EMOTIONAL now when the world got the breaking news that Apollo Creed actually passed away

Ivan pushes Viktor so hard his whole life to be a cold hearted killer who could only get his approval/love by winning at all costs. Despising weakness and like Rocky said "He was raised by hate". But then at the end, when Ivan realizes that Viktor is willing to die for his approval, his parental instincts make him throw in the towel. Saying to me (a single father/coach of 2 very athletic sons), to stop hurting my son. That scene absolutely broke me. I'd love to see their story continue.

this one had the most bad ass heart felt fight in the entire series in my opinion

yes ... rumble in the jungle ... one of the most famous boxing matches in history

6:35 No, that is Vegas. And if you haven't been to Vegas you owe it to yourself to go there just once. You don't need to gamble......there are plenty of nice shows, scenes and museums to explore.

I honestly don’t know which stare down gave me more goosebumps, Donnie staring down Ivan Drago aka the man who killed his father or when Rocky and Drago stared each other down in the ring at the final fight😮‍💨

You're still the BEST! No reaction channel is complete without the Rocky/Creed franchise.

Great reactions 🤍 The first two Creeds are equal to me, but I haven't seen #3 yet. Overall, this is an incredible story arc, dating back to the original movie. You literally get to watch Rocky's whole life.

Great reaction. The Rocky/creed series really are emotional rollercoasters. I’d like to suggest “Warrior” starring Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte it’s an underrated and under appreciated film that gives you the same vibe as Rocky. Also “Cinderella Man” starring Russel Crowe

Honestly I have been reluctant to watch your videos just because I don’t like doing anything new but I gotta say I’m glad that I gave you a try! I love your reactions and perspective! I’m going to subscribe you got a new fan!

Now she needs to see the deleted scene after the fight ends with the locker room 👌

Seeing Rocky say walking up the hill is getting difficult, and Ivan having a hard time keeping pace with Viktor during jogging is kinda sad considering how physically superhuman these two are in Rocky 4, it goes to show that time is undefeated.

rumble in the jungle is an iconic boxing match

I’ve got the creed movies in order. 1 2 3

In this film the dragos were rich characters. He was a flat character in Rocky 4. This movie totally humanized them

My fav Creed, always dug Rocky 4 because during that time there was real fear of Russia & thought the Drago fights were well done. Creed 2 brings another layer to the Dragos.

You know, Creed 1 & 2 are great movies on their own, but imagine how different they play if you don't go into them with the lore of the Rocky series.

Lets go with the Creed 2 Amazing movie and great reacton

Good reaction, your always AWSOME. ✌️

"Lost your wife?" "Sucks to be you!" Maybe the most savage thing ever said on this channel.

Wonderful reaction. I share all your emotions. 😍

Rumor is that they want to branch of and do the Drago family similar to the Creed series.

"Thinking things over" 🤣

I told you in the previous video that this movie is gonna bring out all the feels, in a major way! :)

Rocky, Rocky III, and Creed II are my favorites. Everyone has their own list of favorites, but I personally loved Creed II.

If that towel does not get thrown, history would’ve repeated itself 😔

I am writing this to help out Kamila and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰❤️✌️

Hi Kamilla, you are looking very beautiful!🙂This has to be my favorite of the Creed trilogy. The callback to Drago in this one is great! SUPER reactions to your second Creed film, Kamilla!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Ludmilla (Brigitte Nielsen) was married to Stallone in real life for a few years in the 80s.

This one....is everything!

Rumble in the Jungle...Ali vs Foreman in Kinshasa (1974)

There were a couple of friendly fights in Rocky. Obviously, the fights with Apollo were with respect, but the fight with Hulk Hogan in Rocky 3, though brutal, was literally a friendly fight, and I would say the fight with Mason in Balboa was pretty respectful all along.

@@MrKeychange It's not that I liked it. It's just that it's a "friendly" fight. I think it's quite apt to illustrate the circus Rocky's life has become, as one could argue about the robot. It's not about liking them. It's about realising Rocky has lost his course and needs to get back to basics. As for the speech, it just fit in with the times. And I don't mind the street fight. It seems more plausible than any legit fight (ironically given Rocky Balboa). And it would have made more sense with the original ending, where Rocky died. I'm totally with you on the deleted scene in Rocky Balboa, though.

If you like these kinda movies, you might like Southpaw and Warrior. I call them “masculine crying” type movies.

I didn't like this movie as much as i wanted too, missed opportunity in places, But the one thing they got right was Drago throwing the TOWEL like Rocky should have for Apollo that was kinda beautiful.

If you like boxing movies i suggest you an underrated gem called "Cinderella Man" with Russell Crowe...unlike these movies it is based on a true story of a boxer in the 1930. 🙂

this movie was so good but i think they could have done two things different. 1. name the baby Adrian. it honors her and keeps the A names going. especially since rocky is the godfather. 2. they should have had Drago be humble and apologize to Marryann at the end of the fight, something changed in him watching his son get beat and he should have expressed that her.

There's a lot more going on here. So Stallone certainly made a lot of money from Rocky, but never owned it. The original producer, whether or not he does a dang thing with any of the movies since 1, owns all rights, names, merchandising , franchise etc. Rights, and has made billions, tho Stallone has done almost all the work, including almost dying twice. Thats why at the end of the fight, rocky says, its all urs now. Stallone is walking away from Rocky. And he and Dolph Lundgren (drago) were thinking of a spin-off with drago and his son, but no one's sure what is happening there, because of the original jerk producer. Pro tip... Stallone and the mom, were one time dating or married in real life, i think they had a kid or 2! So we'll see if Stallone has anything left for a rocky or Drago spinoff!
