Fight Entrances: Rocky IV vs. Rocky IV: Rocky Vs. Drago - The Ultimate Directors Cut - Comparison

[@tailedgates9]

The Director's Cut is a mixed bag for me. Maybe it's because I'm so used to the original cut but some of the scenes that were removed I liked. But ALL of the new scenes that were added were all stellar. Especially Apollo putting up more of a fight.

[@Robertbeal1989]

I agree with ya on this

[@ChantingInTheDark]

Agreed, I feel like the pacing on the original in some key scenes were better. But some were great. I particularly loved the extra footage and edit of Drago waiting in the ring under the stage in the Apollo fight. And like you say Creed putting up more of a fight.

[@Lonstermash]

Well put! And I really loved the longer speeches at the funeral.

[@donufro]

Totally agree. All the added scenes were great, but messing with the existing scenes didn't work for me. That said, I did like the added shots of Drago that made him a little more human.

[@hellerjon1]

Totally agree. I feel like the original with the new added shots makes for a better movie. There was no reason to have it be only 90 minutes.

[@vciotoli2126]

The Director's Cut is actually my preferred version now. Lot more serious and the layout/pacing felt better.

[@tgriffin3059]

There's nothing more 'serious' about it. Just Stallone showing that, after 35 years, he's still willing to grovel for approval from critics...He took his most successful movie, and tore it apart, to satisfy people who would never like it, anyway. Sad...

[@mriyefa2196]

An extended version would have been better than a Director's Cut because both versions are great.

[@Nostalgicguy2242]

[@siredith8846]

I've always loved how Paulie draped himself in the US flag.

[@DNOstalgia]

Yeah, was kinda sweet and fit his loveable comic relief side character of this movie, a far cry from how he started off in Rocky...

[@davidnetterwald1846]

While I have an affection towards the original I have to say that I really liked the changes to this scene in particular in the director’s cut. I love the part when it flashes back to the last conversation that Rocky had with Apollo before he fought with Drago. I also really liked that the dumb scene with the son was cut out. I always hated that scene because it’s a serious fight with personal stakes that isn’t about winning and losing but survival and you have this unnecessary scene of comic relief that no matter how many times I watch it is still so cringe worthy. I am so glad that it was cut out because it made no sense to me and it was goofy. The entrances in both films were epic but again I enjoyed the director’s cut of this scene so much more.

[@BenTanner92]

You really do feel a big difference in how drago is as a character in the Director’s Cut as opposed to how cartoonish he appeared at first. Especially when he comes back in Creed II

9:54 THAT FACE, MORE HUMANISED DRAGO

[@heartofalegend]

Great new moments in the DC, but many unnecessary random omissions of helpful dialogue and moments, and the elimination of the locker room scene, which was a major misfire. The DC is not the ultimate cut, but it's great to see some of the new footage, some of which belonged in the original, especially the extra funeral dialogue. Like Superman II, the definitive cut is to be found by combining the best of both versions, which I (and I suspect many other fans) am working on right now.

[@Vaporvice84]

::raises hand:: I plan on simply keeping the film as we all know and love it, but adding in some of the new directors cut scenes to give the film a bit more weight.

[@germancaro8999]

I don't know which part is better. In the Original Film we see the upcoming clash of two superhumans,but in the Ultimate Cut we see something more realistic. Two top class fighters from very different worlds,waiting the fight of their lives.

[@mkdken]

The original Rocky IV will always be the classic. But this director cut by far, is my FAVORITE

[@andyorwig]

For me the OC was better for Drago's entrance. A small edit in the DC before the tunnel scene takes us out of the sheer fact that this is a killer coming out of the light.

[@joshuamartinpryce8424]

I believe that the entrances of a boxer says alot about who they are, and the focus they are in. In undertones and subliminal ways, entrances determine the outcome of a fight, or at least show a huge impact of the outcome. Spirituality is made by having good entrances and displaying the nature of a good fighter, and then proving that confidence in the ring.

[@JediMasterSp0ck]

6:39 see this is one of the things that I didn't like with the stuff that Stallone decided to remove. By removing the scene of Apollo and Rocky before Apollo's fight, the flashback has no context. Instead of being a call back to something that you heard earlier, you would be left wondering where this scene and this dialogue came from. Obviously for those of us who have seen the original, we know where it came from, but Stallone self-admitted that his attempt was to make a standalone director's cut movie. He did the same thing with the scene where Rocky is putting the pictures on the mirror while playing the dialogue he had with Adrian after she said "you can't win" in the original. No context if you are watching the director's cut as a stand alone

[@integrity101]

The picture on mirror scene works fine in both versions. Its repurposed here is all.

[@paulw6481]

Love both versions

[@miguelcaballero5195]

Sorry, anyone know where can I find the Directors Cut? I can´t find it in streaming platforms. I live in Spain, I don't know if maybe still is not available for public, but I see that any youtubers are uploading excerpts of the movie. Any advice will be very apreciated. :)

[@jchuck316]

I prefer the original for multiple reasons....the edits are smoother, the colors are warmer, the music sets a mood, and i prefer keeping the shot of Rocky praying (something Rocky was known for even by Mick) rather than making it seem like he was just thinking. After the youtube clips I've seen, I have no desire to even rent the Director's cut, but I'm glad I own the original.

[@plisskenetic]

That literally depends on what the director was going for and this new version is abt character not spectacle like the original. I'd say the new one is more emotional.

[@daviddemeuse5660]

I’d give the directors cut a view, you might like it better than you think.

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

I sometimes think rocky should have adopted creeds style to fight Drago like he did with Lang in Rocky lll 🥊🇺🇲

[@tailedgates9]

Rocky being more light on his feet and dodging more was beautiful. :D But since Drago was an entirely different beast he had to switch it up.

[@markrobinson9394]

Rocky would have been slaughtered had he tried to fight with Creed’s style. It worked against Clubber because he’s a brawler who looks for the knockout on every punch, which led to him tiring out within 3 rounds. Drago isn’t a brawler, nor does he have an issue with stamina. The only reason Rocky was able to hang with him for 15 rounds is because he kept chopping away at the body, which eventually wore Drago down. If Rocky had tried the “stick and move” style, Drago would have knocked him out within 6 rounds. His reach is too long and he would have caught Rocky with a tough shot as he was coming in for a jab.

[@tailedgates9]

@@markrobinson9394 I think his and his son's reach was one of their biggest advantages.

[@markrobinson9394]

@@tailedgates9 Ivan was the perfect fighter. Strength, speed, stamina, technique, reach, height. He literally had no weaknesses. Match him up with any boxer (other than Rocky) and I can't see him losing, even to a prime Apollo. If it wasn't for Rocky having the toughest chin in boxing history, there would have been no stopping him.

2 nice touches on the director's cut. Rocky kisses Adrian before entering the ring. Then before Drago does his airborne shuffle down to the ring, he starts walking with a half smile, looking around.

[@deandrewolf5996]

Original version I most definitely prefer 🤞🤦

[@DNOstalgia]

👍

[@sarrjel]

I like both versions of Rocky 4. I think Sylvester Stallone should've really mixed it up and had it where Rocky broke up the fight between Apollo and Drago and surprised everyone by having him in extended scenes for the training. I know I'm asking a lot but it would've been cool. Then instead of having Drago fight Rocky in USA it follows the same way as it does in the movie. Show some scenes where there were some close calls of assassination attempts on Drago with some crazy lunatic with a rifle or even other boxers at the hotel that they are staying at challenging Drago and even threating to kill him if he doesn't fight. Then you could also have bad press in the newspapers and in the news media painting them as bad people for trying to kill Apollo their hero and champ. Then you as the viewer get the whole spectrum of the Russians getting upset, Drago and his wife getting into arguments over his life and reluctantly decide to go home. This could lead to their next scene where you watch Drago's wife tell the press that they are going home because of the threats to her husband's life and all of the other things that she mentions. Then have Apollo in the press conference telling everyone how much of a killer Drago is and that he's not a fighter. The Russian spokes person would step up and tell the press how easy it was for Drago to beat this weak insignificant old man and that Drago wasted his time coming here to challenge Rocky Balboa who is also a weak old man and that Drago shouldn't waste his time fighting genetically inferior men in America who can't stand on their fight and that they should look at challenges in Europe for professional boxers. They go back and forth with insults before they finally leave and Apollo convinces Rocky to challenge Drago and everything else plays pretty much the same way as the rest of the movie. Having Drago with even more speaking roles would've been highly desired. I know back in 1985 Stallone wasn't thinking about doing a cut for this film 35 years later and he just wanted to make a great movie like his other films and he did. It's got a lot of great stuff that are great. This new cut is great to, it's got some great cuts and nice scenes put in place. I'm just thinking to myself it would've been exciting to see some old scenes and footage of where Stallone cut some new stuff where Creed was still alive and made through to the end of the movie, it's hypothetical. I'm spoiled I know.

[@rajithmaligaspe]

Love the director's cut, it's a way better dramatic improvement over the original, which was very MTV. The original is iconic, and possibly my favorite Rocky film because of all of its 80s glory, but it felt like Sly playing Sly in a boxing movie rather than him playing Rocky. This cut feels more like a Rocky drama that way, but with all the iconic montages and soundtrack still largely intact. I wish he didn't remove two key scenes which were Rocky and Adrian celebrating their anniversary and Rocky & Apollo talking just before Apollo's fight. It would have helped with context for when we see the flashback during Rocky's scene backstage when he's praying. I wish Sly also kept in more of Bridgette Nielsen's dialogue but there is no major hindrance to the story because this purely a nostalgic preference. The Rocky III recap also should have been left as is, but comparing the two, I realised that Sly re-edited it because he wanted to highlight Apollo's and Rocky's friendship and remind the viewers of the emotional weight behind Apollo's death and how it affected Rocky, especially after he lost Mickey in the previous film. This change to the intro reiterated Rocky's emotional state in this movie and explained a lot about the decisions he made as a result of Apollo's death. I noted a couple of continuity errors due to the rearrangement of shots, but as an editor, these are things you sometimes have to deal with when you're re-telling the big picture. I loved all the added scenes and I was also super glad they removed the robot, but it's a shame that the scene of Rocky washing his car in that sick tracksuit was cut because of it, but again, it doesn't really hurt the story in any way.

[@hilarityensues]

You can also see a round 15 sign lit up in the rafters of the arena in round 1 or 2. To top it all off Sly uses a scene once the fight was finished that was probably him and Dolph out of character congratulating each other on the fight, MF killed Apollo but "great fight bro...".
