First Time Watching original ROCKY!!! 1976 Rocky Movie Reaction starring Sylvester Stallone

For the first time ever, Steph & Andrew watches everyone's favorite movie boxer, "The Italian Stallion, ROCKY BALBOA!!!" Rocky is one of the top tier classic films in movie history about the story of a Philadelphian man who wants to make it as a boxer. To anyone who is familiar with this classic gem, will mostly remember Rocky's montage training scene with him jogging on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

One of the most motivational franchises in the history of cinema. The Rocky saga is a must for every movie fan

[@antoniosoto2514]

Rocky 2 and creed 1 were the most motivations to me I love them

[@peterrobson9920]

Maybe give 5 a miss tho😂😂😂

[@Milleniumlance]

@@peterrobson9920 I recently rewatched 5, jeez it's sooo bad lol

[@AKking27]

@@peterrobson9920 na 5 wasn’t that bad

[@sanjayg9466]

[@heikira438]

This movie has a special place for me. My sister brought home a stray kitten that wouldn't come out of hiding for 2 weeks. I was eating chicken and watching this movie. She came out to eat the chicken and sat with me during the whole movie eating the chicken. Been glued to me everyday the last 5 years now

[@TheOneWhoLaughs101]

Rocky pounding the beef and "you're breaking the ribs" with Paulie joking about "If you do that to Creed they'll lock you up for murder" and it calls back to that... He broke Creeds ribs, pounded him like he pounded the beef. Such excellent writing in one of the greatest movies ever made 🥊🥊🥊

[@stevejoshua9536]

Actually, I believe the quote is, "they'll lock US up for murder", implying that Paulie already kiddingly felt implicated in Creed's death, at the hands of Rocky, for simply providing Rocky with the ribbed meat to hit.

[@llorona7847]

Talia Shire really brought Adrian to life as a character and her arc is wonderful. She’s the perfect partner for Rocky. They help, support, & inspire each other.

[@geraldkramer267]

There's a documentary on KZbin in which Stallone discusses the making of "Rocky". The budget was a miniscule $1 million so the production crew had to improvise for a lot of scenes. This resulted in innovative film making that changed the way movies were shot in the future. The documentary is worth watching especially Stallone's commentary on how scenes were shot and the challenges of the boxing choreography.

[@Jason-bk3nl]

Man, part 2 is so good! I can’t wait.

[@tsefcik]

Every time I see a new Rocky reaction, I'm immediately on board for the journey (bc you can't stop with just one. gotta take the whole ride. one of the best motivational speeches of the entire series in the 6th one and there's gold to mine in all of them, even the silly ones and the one weak one). And the Creed movies are so good it's worth it to lay the foundation w/ the 1st 6 1st. The 1st Creed is pretty much a perfect film. They should teach it in film school it's so good as the perfect reboot.

[@arodz21]

For decades boxing matches went 15 rounds but it changed in 1982 when a fighter died after collapsing shortly after the match ended; then the rounds were lowered to 12 where it still is to this day. But hell, way back at the turn of the last century, there were no round limits. Fights would go on for 20 or 30 rounds.

[@renebethke7132]

Part 2 to me is the BEST! A MUST WATCH!!!!! PLEASE DO IT SOON

[@arodz21]

Best boxing match ever put to film.

[@sylviaslydavis405]

Yessss I love Apollo and Rocky relationship. They had amazing chemistry

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Thank you guys for reacting this masterpiece Rocky starring by Sylvester Stallone. This film won an Oscar for best picture next time Rocky II, III, IV, V, Rocky Balboa and the spin off Creed, Creed II and Creed III

[@blackfire-yf7hi]

So glad that you guys reacted to this film. Loved your thoughts. You guys are gonna love the next films because it just gets better and better.

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

carl weathers who played apollo played in the nfl before he became an actor and this was his 1st ever movie

[@MrPaulb1982]

2 , 3 + 4 are also great performances by the cast... 3 is my favourite. All the original Rocky movies are worth a watch 1 - 5 , original Saga.

[@sajawaliqbalgill]

Very Happy you guys jumped in this franchise

[@falcon215]

I saw this at the theater as a teenager and it was amazing to see on the big screen. It kind of came out of nowhere but word of mouth spread fast.

[@iDanPrakash]

Absolutely super stoked to see the Rocky franchise being reacted to 😊 Discovered the franchise around 2008/09 during high school thanks to a mate who was a half Italian and half Greek, He was a massive Stallone Fanboy lol Personally Rocky 3 and 4 were my personal favs and I'm the minority that loved 5 😂

[@louielouie22]

Part 2 was the best one of all of them in my opinion. To me, it's probably the most inspirational movie ever.

[@HarrisonGLong]

It's hard to overstate the depth of atmosphere in this movie. You see the realities of the harsh economic period of the 1970s, its décor, its styles. It feels at once like a long time ago and just yesterday.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Was in Philly last fall. Had to run up those museum stairs! 😃 BTW - movie won a few Oscars including Best Picture!

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

One of the best cinematic love stories…that just happens to have a bit of boxing.

[@TrackMaster844]

14:50 - It was actually the production crew of this movie that came up with the SteadiCam that’s used in most big budget movies today.

[@Drawkcabi]

The doctor who delivered Stallone as a baby used forceps that severed a nerve partially paralyzing the left side of his face. Because it gave him a droopy eye and effected his tongue and speech pattern doctors diagnosed him with a "dormant" brain and he was teased a lot. Part of the reason he built himself up physically was to make others think twice about teasing him and part of the reason he got into acting was all the different types of dialogs helped him train himself to talk as well as he possibly could.

[@wasabi5338]

ive always thought it was Bell's Palsy. Mickey (Meredith) also seemed to have it during in some of the scenes when he is yelling at Rocky (like in the training montage in 2 where he was screaming "FASTER!")

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

the dog butkus that adrian gave to rocky was stallone's dog in real life

[@claya7580]

Stallone was so broke he had to sell Butkus for $25, and after the movie came out, he wanted to buy him back and the guy charged him like $15k

[@pranavn8260]

Please continue with the whole series...

[@samurai-supreme]

You guys should definitely watch Rocky 2 next, which I liked more. But Rocky 4 is still the best!

[@757optim]

Stallone got the inspiration for his script from watching Chuck Wepner ("The Bayonne Bleeder") make it to the 15th round with Muhammad Ali. Although Wepner was knocked out and needed 23 stitches, it was sort of a moral victory for the underdog.

[@jonbrooks6307]

Are u guys gonna do the rest of the rocky series ?

[@ProdSangreNueva]

This movie belongs up there with classics as The Godfather. It’s in that level.

[@bigj5880]

Definitely react to 2, 3, and 4 rocky movies lol incredible films! 🙏

[@Jpfield99]

I don't know how many times I watch this movie growing up. I can watch this any time and if I find it on TV I will start watching it doesn't matter where it is. I watch the reaction to this anytime it comes up. On KZbin.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Awesome movie saw at the theater! Thanks enjoyed y’all’s reaction and analysis

[@God-ph7ft]

Damn this movie is a pure gem.

[@carriemichelle322]

Just came across your channel. I'm born and raised in philly! Huge Philly Phan & really hope u watch the rest of the franchise! Soon! They get better & better!

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

fun facts , the actor who played paulie was a real boxer and there was a statue of rocky at the phiadelphia library where the steps where at but a lot of peope from there were mad that they had a statue of rocky instead of Joe frazier 1 of the greatest boxers of all time who was from philadelphia

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Joe Frazier? I thought it was spelled Joaf Razier.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Sylvester Stallone was inspired to write this script after watching a fight between Muhammad and Chuck (the Bayonne Bleeder).He has a great ear for dialogue.. choreographed the fight scenes that elevated movie boxing..

[@rbodee]

Fun fact, the steadicam was invented to handle the scenes of him running up the steps to the museum. Also, as of about 3 years ago, he still owns the turtles.

[@wampa25]

Rocky is the greatest underdog story ever told. Rocky 2 is the greatest rematch in film history. One of the greatest film franchises ever. Stick with it.

[@waynejones5635]

Great movie reaction. I agree Rocky is an iconic movie. The fact that Sylvester Stallone was really nobody before this movie, kind of reflects the story of Rocky, climbing from the bottom.

[@twok7tc]

Please watch all of them! Great reaction!

[@michaelmyers10574]

My personal favorite is part IV. But I really like the whole saga

[@ej8085]

Love this. Thank you

[@Drawkcabi]

Talia Shire (Adrian), yep her brother is Francis Ford Coppala. Also her son is Jason Schwartzman and her nephew is Nicolas Cage.

[@kingsleyjack5311]

Rocky was literally a punching bag the whole fight 🥲

[@victorcowboywest]

I really enjoy your reactions. Looking forward to your take on the movie.

[@JD-df3zl]

What reaction?

[@naeemislam1105]

rocky was actually inspired by Muhammad Ali v chuck wepner where sylvestar stallone was ring side and he saw the fight and Ali struggled a bit against an underdog he shouldn't have

[@naeemislam1105]

back in the days boxing used to be 15 rounds now its 12

[@chipsfalling8625]

Thanks for sharing. The making of is as good as the movie.

[@mixtec53]

Great reaction 💯

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Bill conti is awesome composer... one of my favourites is for your eyes only movie.. different but great soundtrack to a bond movies then most.

[@nour2146]

Did you know that Sylvester Stallone has a brother named Frank Stallone, he’s in this movie singing take you back and you see him shake hands with him out on the sidewalk and the dog was Sylvester's

[@andrewcastillo3110]

14:20 My favorite scene in ALL the movies

[@alexbracetti2569]

Now ya got no choice but to watch the entire franchise, including the Creed films! Amazing stuff!

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

The beautiful thing about Rocky - it isn't about boxing. It's just the metaphor for our inner battles.

[@oneisnone7350]

You must watch Rocky II

[@nightfangs2910]

My old ass watched this in the theater at 10 changed my life

[@StultifiedGraphics]

Where your hat? Best line

[@ivanthecheese9119]

Rocky II !

[@PALMERUSA21]

Those two turtles Sylvester Stallone kept as his own pets and has them in a bigger tank at his home. Those same turtles are still alive today. The type of breed the turtles Cuff and Link are Red-Eared Sliders.

[@luisubillus2197]

Rocky 2 is great as well

[@dvine3488]

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CaddyJim]

Non championship fights can be 4, 6 or 8 today a title fight is 12 rounds they use to be 15

[@nitrokid]

Buttkus, the dog from the movie, is Stallone's real life dog.

[@dashcan8479]

15 rounds is the Heavyweight class

[@kissmy_butt1302]

Fun facts: Burgess Meridth was down the list on choices to play Mickey. He got the role when he ad libbed the exchange in the scene: 'Hey Rock, you ever think about retiring?' Star Wars and Rocky were released 6 months apart. Both impacted how movies were made. Rocky is where the steady cam was invented. It was the first movie where the camera wasn't mounted on cart, rail system or vehicle for every shot. The camera man who designed the steady cam is with us today. When you see these odd angles at sporting events, overheads, etc... that is his companies cameras.

[@FlickFreaks]

16:35 - The idea is if you abstain from sex & masturbation, you build up excess testosterone in your system. The short hand of it all is, “Total abstinence makes you very angry which is good for fighting.”

[@mavv-i-am]

Guys u should finish all the rockys

[@A_S_K_3735]

Very few people knew that Rocky is oscar winning movie.

[@valeria262]

Damn, it's almost half s century since this movie came out

[@pachena]

Please watch Rocky 2! Loved your reaction!

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

You should do a reaction video to a little-known Sylvester Stallone movie Paradise Alley (1978) that he also wrote and directed. It's about three brothers living in Hell's Kitchen in the 1940s and one of the brothers gets involved with underground wrestling.

[@christopherflynn7986]

Stallone's face looks like that because when he was born the doctors used forceps to help pull him out and it disfigured his face a little bit.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Actually Rocky doesn't qualify as a Heavy Weight. He doesn't weigh enough. 2. Adrian looks Way better without her glasses. 3. Stallone kept the turtles and Butkus. The turtles are still alive. Butkus, not so much this thing is 40+ years old. 4. You can't blame Rocky for working for the loan shark because he made more doing that than boxing. Gotta pay bills. 5. $150,000 just to fight🤑 6. I loved Burgess Meredith A good first time/share is the original "Clash of the Titans" with him. 7. A good First time/share for Stallone is "Tango and Cash" with Kurt Russell. 8. Welcome to this entertaining rabbit hole.

[@vpxtrailers9395]

No one realizes that Rocky is a love story.

[@Jordashian93]

Awesome! 😃🥊

[@LiveINtheGood53]

You guys gotta watch Rocky 2 and then 3 and then 4 👍👍🥊🥊

[@mojomegaman]

Butkus was actually Stallone's dog.

[@ambikasankarguru8537]

CM Punk should watch it

[@philmullineaux5405]

U really need to check out how this movie even got made cuz it was a straight up miracle! The dog, the money promised, how nobody wanted him to act in it, even that he sold it. But a friend of his, The Fonz from happy days, did a movie with him a few years before. So he goes to ABC, who bought the script, and tells them, u don't give me that script, and I walk from Happy Days! They gave him back the script! Pro tip...butkus was his dog, and he sold him! Afterwards, he bought the dog back! He wrote nthe script based on a real fight. Ali was going to fight Frazier in a rematch. He wanted a tuneup fight, a few months before. He fought a guy named Chuck Wepner. Wepner was ok, but no great fighter, and a bad bleeder. Early in the fight, Wepner dropped Ali and damn near knocked him out!

Number of rounds depends on of it's a championship fight or not as well as the year that it took place.

[@ericcrittendon330]

Oh man what they don't show you as the out of town fighter they throw stuff at you such as soda, water and chewing tobacco spit from cups. The crowd can be brutal but you can win them over.
