Doctor Reacts To Worst Rocky Injuries

[@TheMADGOD91]

Sylvester Stallone actually received some major injuries during filming of rocky 4. Dolph hit Sylvester for real into the chest and doctors thought he was hit by a car the damage to his heart and lungs were so bad.

[@matt566]

Ya the guy is double his size. Weight classes exist for good reason

[@TheMADGOD91]

Fun follow up, the insurance company refused to initially pay out for the injury due to the doctors actually thinking he was in a car accident due to the type of injury. And stunt driving wasn't listed on his movie health insurance. They only agreed to pay after the film director showed them the video of him being hit. And fun fact that clip made it into the movie! It's one of the First hits of the fight when Rocky takes a chest/gut punch and kinda curls up

[@Hybrid_Therapy]

Dude can probably deliver some good chest compression's and break some ribs

@Israel Tovar So that's why Creed went down in round 2.

[@alosialee]

The scene with the chicken. My husband pointed out something outside of physical exercise that the chicken exercise does that other standard exercises won't. Increasing speed, endurance, and muscle is important in boxing but so is strategizing and being able to anticipate movements. Chasing a chicken around allows real time training in that aspect. It exercises the brain he says more so than it does the body in that regard, or rather combines the two with muscle memory movements in regards to certain anticipated movements in order to successfully capture the chicken or in the ring, defeat his opponents. They always like to say there is method to the madness lolol.

[@kayrazpatel]

ahh thank you

[@webtoedman]

True, chickens can accelerate and turn faster than humans, and they work at ground level, which people don't.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Also, if I remember correctly as it's been a long time, they gave them no equipment to work with. So, developing quickness, anticipation, and endurance were a factor.

[@pinktysonic]

Well isn't it quite questionable to chase a chicken??

[@alosialee]

@@pinktysonic not really. Chasing chickens has been a thing since chickens have been cultivated. Ancient cultures and tribes used to have their children chase and catch them for similar purposes. As a method of training to teach quickness, anticipation, strategy, and stamina.

[@DanielLee1]

Interesting fact: the introduction of boxing gloves have had a huge negative impact on the number of deaths and injuries in boxing (as opposed to bare-knuckle boxing) because fighters are able to punch and punch and punch without hurting their hands.

[@Groundlord]

Precisely. The human body naturally limits itself to avoid self-harm, so any time you punch without the extra padding (or the training to negate that limit) you're going to be subconsciously pulling that punch. Once the gloves are on, though? Your subconscious limiters get reduced since you're thinking "Sweet, now I don't have to worry about injuring myself," and you end up punching *harder* as a result.

[@DanielLee1]

@@Groundlord it’s like the instinct to not swim too far down in the ocean when you have to hold your breath, because you know you’ve got to travel all that way back up again to be able to breath. Once you have scuba gear though, you can go as deep as you like, completely unaware that the pressure will kill you.

[@adamlea6339]

Otherwise known as risk compensation. Something similar happened with vulnerable road users when seatbelts were made mandatory.

[@christianc.christian5025]

Wearing gloves specifically makes throwing full-force punches to the head much less risky for the puncher, too. Getting rid of gloves is likely one of the best ways to limit head injuries.

It's just cool to think about an actor who is so dedicated to his craft that he was willing to actually square up with a professional fighter who fought at heavyweight and won light heavyweight and cruiserweight world titles.

I have always wondered if some people are just genetically gifted in that area. Granted, Rocky is fictional, but take someone like George Foreman. Never the quickest fighter, but could always take punch after punch after punch with much less effect than most boxers. And to this day he doesn't seem the least bit affected by it. It has to be genetic, right?

[@RLplusabunchofdumbnumbers]

@@MiddleAgedBob Dude named every one of his sons 'George' - I wouldn't say he's unaffected by it. ;) Seriously though, we know the science - literally every time you get punched in the head it's a brain injury. The most significant factor in CTE seems to be repeated sub-concussive impacts, not a few major ones. I.e., it's literally every punch to the head (or every collision in football or even every header in soccer - pro soccer players show a lot of CTE). Yeah, there's certain to be some people less predisposed to the injury, or less predisposed to developing Tau protein build up, or less predisposed to tau proteins causing cognitive dysfunction - but anatomy is anatomy and physics is physics: bop the head around, the brain is going to bounce inside the skull. There's no way around that (at least until *massive* advances in biotechnology).

[@christianc.christian5025]

Another life lesson: I hope that Mike realizes that the rationale about boxers choosing to accept the risks associated with head trauma also applies to people using potentially dangerous drugs. He bristled recently at Ryan Marino’s suggestion of legalizing *all* drugs, but it’s the same concept: you can choose to smoke, drink and box. There’s no drug he mentioned which kills more people than cigarettes, so let adults decide for themselves.

Love this video as a long time Rocky fan, I grew up watching them with my dad and mean a lot to me! Also just wanted to say that some of the “unconventional” training like the meat and the chicken is not meant to be realistic or that it works haha but a way to show Rocky was poor and didn’t have resources, which is one of the main themes especially in the first movie. great medical analysis though! one of my fav videos on this channel for sure so far!

[@MisterTutor2010]

It seems to follow the Rule of Cool.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

1:28 Mickey said it at the beginning. In his words Rocky has heart, but he fights like an ape. This was during the early stages of training so he didn't hone in his abilities just yet.

[@telepathos]

I'm sure someone has pointed this out already, but oh well. The scene when Rocky is punching the side of beef, and Paulie says "You're breaking the ribs!" is foreshadowing. Rocky has a much more body attack than head attack. It's why Apollo coughs up blood and why his ribs are broken at the end of the match.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

10:35 When Stallone was making Rocky Balboa (Rocky 6), one of the things fans asked him was how he'd be able to box again after having that diagnosis. He explained that because medical history advanced over time, what was bad back then would be considered a minor concussion now in comparison. To put it lightly, Rocky went for a second opinion.

OMG, that eye cut scene!! I saw this in the theater when I was 10 and it freaked me out, and then I asked my mom what was actually going on, and I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t look at this. This fight in the original Rocky should have been stopped way before the last round, in my opinion.

Dr. Mike could you react to some Arrow medical scenes? Even though it is a superhero show, there are a surprising amount of scenes you could react to. Also, congrats on 9 Million! Edit: Spelling

[@richard87b]

You need to keep making these videos, also I love ur vids!

[@juzoli]

I think the cow and the raw egg became a signature “move” from Rocky, so they had to repeat it in each movie, even after they recognized it is ridiculous:)

[@adrianmaynard222]

My favorite movies of all time and my favorite youtuber reacting to it. Great combo!

[@Ant_5350]

12:28 well now my favorite motivational quote is ruined lol

[@harleypaynefultsunamiwilli463]

I really didn't want to watch this as Rocky is one of my favourite all time Movie series and was worried you would ruin it for me lol... but you didn't and I'm glad I did... Congratulations on the 9 mil subscriber's 👏 🙌 you deserve it

7:41 it's perfectly clear that it was steroids. Just because the Soviets said no, doesn't make it true.

[@Caroo1313]

Since you're a fan of boxing I would totally love to see you react to "Southpaw". It's a fantastic movie and the way they shot the fights is pretty amazing. Also some medical stuff to react to and an iconic performance from Jake Gyllenhaal. You should totally check it out if you haven't seen it!

[@nikkilynn559]

I totally forgot about Southpaw until I read ur comment. Great movie!!!

[@AnarchoShark]

Dr. Mike out here straight up looking like a sk8ter boi 🤣 I dig it 😎

[@christinaholroyd629]

Congrats on 9 million!! You’re my absolute favorite ️ I learn something every time I watch

[@whyareyoulookingatmyname7438]

6:45 what’s interesting is that he is doing the WAP

[@RaeRaenicorrrn]

the sound effects added in editing to doctor mike's fighting demo are hilarious.

[@jasminematilda]

Rocky Balboa (the 6th in the franchise) is one of my favorite movies EVER. Criminally underrated!

[@william2307]

I love you Dr Mike thanks for making our days all the time :)

[@bigreputation1119]

I would LOVE to see you react to Black-ish medical scenes. There are so many episodes you could react to

[@awanna-bechristine9324]

4:56 I disagree. I have chickens and that bird is having the time of its life. Also that's not even CLOSE to a chicken's full speed. Believe me, when you actually chase a chicken... it's good exercise. They are HELLA fast.

[@chimchar87]

Over this last week, which was Spring Break for me, my mom and I watched all of the Rocky movies and yesterday we watched Creed.

[@jamessawyer9018]

I love the sound effects that they use fore the punches. In the slow-motion part it sounds like there is a sound effect that sounds like someone got a strike.

[@DUDA-__-]

So the thing about getting hit or tanking a little in other fighting sports is, on a national fighter level ain't no one prepared for that. I've seen those Athletes training with some "harder" dudes getting really worked up because they lead by points but there knockout hits didnt seem to do anything.

[@leonardodelimaferreira8509]

Would be cool if you watched Hajime no Ippo, specially Takamura's weight loss before fighting Bryan Hawk and Kamogawa's training against Andersen, 2 of the most unrealistic parts of Hajime no Ippo, and the only ones as far as I know

[@ifeelfroggy3216]

Hi, just recently an old friend of mine passed and I just found out today. I wasn't as close to her as one of my best friends was but it still took a toll on me as well. Could you make a video about grief, how different people deal with it, what it does to your body and how to deal with it?

[@aberamagold7509]

When that guy mentioned the AMA'S new report saying boxing should be banned he asked Rocky if he agreed with the doctors... ... Rocky jokingly responded "yeah, absolutely, I think doctors should never fight" he didn't say "the doctors told me to stop fighting". I cant believe this got past everyone involved in making this video, especially with Dr. Mike going on and on about it 😃. I'm going to listen to it one more time to be sure, but I know I'm right. Edit = I changed what I wrote Rocky saying to the reporter so it would be correct. If I caught and am letting him know about his mistake (I know this won't be read) I best make sure I'm not making one too because then I'll look like a complete idiot, when I am in fact only half an idiot.

[@rebekahslife9102]

I’m not even interested in being a doctor or anything, there’s just something so calming about Dr.Mike

[@taidoggo880]

I am a new viewer to this channel love the videos and I am learning a lot about the medical world.

[@yuan3220]

Totally agree with you on that! He gives us all the details he know, even in the times when we thought that it wasn't needed.
