Honest Trailers Commentary - Rocky IV

[@PhenomAnon08]

I actually like the commentaries more than the honest trailers themselves because of how delightful the combo of Joe, Dan and Spencer are and this was one of the best

[@Towkeeyoh]

Me too! Sometimes I just watch commentaries!

[@pablozky21]

Same here! I have grown desensitized of honest trailers, but the commentaries rules!

[@starcraftfavsongs]

lol nowadays i dont even bother watching the trailer itself since i can get both here. i just run it on mute simultaneously so they get the view

[@vojislavmedic]

Freddy comes to Dan's nightmares and says "Well, actually..." 😂

[@MrDjsmooth87]

The best show. Amazing impersonations, and the jokes were top notch. This show...killed it😏👍🏾😉

[@antuanlemon484]

MrDjsmooth87 I was just about to say this lol

[@panamared72]

MrDjsmooth87 this show is so funny. I can here these 3 guys talk about whatever for 5 hours straight lol

[@AnemeKun]

I rewatch this commentary every few weeks. Just because I love Rocky 4 and I love the banter that you three have. But nothing makes me happier than Joe actually teeheeing at 00:23 😂

[@JamesMichaelParry]

Dan saying "Don't" and pointing is my new favourite moment from Commentaries. Great work chaps.

[@lyndahartman6342]

Dan needs a hug lol

[@anarionelendili8961]

I take the man at his word: he needs turkey. :)

[@edenton1974]

I recently saw this in the theater. It's by far the greatest long form music video of all time. Honorable mentions to Top Gun & Footloose

[@kylesargent3683]

I don't care how stupid it is, Ramky Balbambo made me laugh until I cried

[@Towkeeyoh]

It definitely needs to be a thing.

[@victorhuerta4600]

I need to be in that room where they're writing the script and hear "from the couch, you just hear, 'Ramky Balbambo'" in real time

[@edwinwien4076]

One of the funniest Honest Trailer Commentaries I've seen so far! Mark my words, Ramky Balbambo is gonna be the next big thing in Hollywood. Also, thanks for doing an Honest Trailer for Rocky 4. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was cheesy fun filled with training montages and a jump-the-shark moment with Paulie's robot. Dolph Lungdren is easily the best part in the movie.

[@kstepko]

I love when Joe gives us some insight into his family dynamics.

[@SKClouD]

20:35 Not sure whether you are reading the comments but I hope you do and may find the interesting. Judging from what you have said I think you have some misconceptions about the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. First of all, not all Mujahideen were radical Islamists. Mujahideen was a broad term for the groups opposing the Soviet Union, most of them being local Afghan Mujahideen, in contrast to foreign Arab Mujahideen such as Bin Laden. Some Mujahideen were also the people who opposed the Taliban and Al-Qaeda later in the 90s, such as the famous leader of the Northern Alliance Ahmed Shah Massoud. They were not also just fighting for a rather abstract reason like religious freedom- they were fighting also because the Soviet Union literally killed hundreds of thousands of people there (seriously, check up the casualty numbers with the ongoing Afghanistan war and compare it with what was going on back then). Osama Bin Laden did not come to Afghanistan because of the US, but because of his own motivation, as support for the Mujahideen was seen as a pan-islamic cause throughout the world. Bin Laden himself didn't really have an important role in the conflict, as I think most historians would agree (he only fought few battles and not very successfully so, being more instrumental in raising donations throughout the Islamic world), and I think it's also doubtful that any US support for people who later joined al-Quaida was essential in the forming of the group. One should also not in general overrate the importance of the Arab Mujahideen, as most opposition to the Soviet Union came from the indigenous population and they were also numerically way more important of a faction. I just wanted to write this because it seems to me that a lot of people have a bit of ahistorical understanding of the 80s Afghanistan conflict, failing to comprehend it on its own terms. More often, people just look at it through the lense of another event (9/11), but I think this doesn't do justice to the politics of the 80s and afterwards.

[@stefanvanschaick]

This has to be my favourite commentary. Well done boys.

[@cowman1358]

Love you Dan. I believe you.

[@drmattconrad77]

Pauli uploaded the robot into his car to become the best GPS in the galaxy.

[@beepopp7306]

This now replaces my last favorite HT Commentary. I have an extremely embarrassing love for this movie hahahaha Best Rocky. Its all you're favorite movies combined into one. Just amazing....what ever this is.😂 Briliant

[@chrisbedard3924]

"I looked it up." - Dan's epitaph, probably

[@kevinparks5220]

I was a Nerd and a Jock and I love all the movies you mentioned.

[@christophergarrett7082]

I have an unapologetic love for rocky four seeing him train in the show and seeing him take down ivan drago was awesome. Rocky is definitely one of my favorite movie franchises.

[@Coolman13355]

Well now I want a Honest Trailer for The Last Starfighter. It's one of my favorite movies and IT CAME OUT THE DAY BEFORE I WAS BORN.

[@JuliaSilva-og6pp]

You earned my like just with Dan's impressions.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Anyone find it somewhat bizarre that Rocky IV - the silliest installment of the franchise - is now one of the most important, considering how these Creed movies are so reliant on the events of that movie?

[@parkay]

I was about to disagree with you and say that V was the silliest, but honestly it was just the crappiest. Everything up to the final street fight between Rocky and Tommy Gun was actually a poorly executed, but somewhat believable storyline of a down on his luck Rocky. IV was just silly for all the reasons stated in the Honest Trailer (not that I still don’t have fond memories of IV).

[@anthony7697]

To answer the question - They cut a scene where Paulie rewires the robot and gets that by either luck, or being smarter than we think. Also the whole Rocky training old school, vs Drago with tech, was kind of a shot at how a lot of training was going to all this fancy high tech stuff and sometimes just away from bare bones basics that were sometimes more effective. Sort of like how you look at back in the day Babe Ruth set all those records, some of which still stand to this day, basically on a beer and hot dog diet while partying, while others have restricted diets, party less, and do all this intense training and health stuff, with the occasional steroids, to break these records, and some still aren't.

[@joshuatabak95]

This was fantastic! Well done. Thank you for making my week.

[@EpicFurious]

This may be the best HTC you guys have ever done. Fantastic job, gentlelads!

[@AlMoSiCe210]

I come back to this video for Ramky Balbambo more times than I'm willing to admit 😂😂😂 Dan's trying to explain how dumb it was & him saying "That's awful!" is so pure & funny!!

[@lusiespinoza3823]

Is How to Train your Drago

[@jdovma1]

I saw this in the theater when I was 7. There was never a time in my life when me and my friends didn't completely revere this movie. And we love nerd movies too. Of course, our perception was probably freeze-framed in the mind of a little kid, I'm just saying, there's a lot of people who always loved this movie.

[@arisucheddar3097]

I love you.

[@randalgraves6979]

I forgot what last weeks clue was. 😳 Also Dans back again. I didn’t finish last weeks commentary. 😦😬

[@privateinvestigatorrick7406]

Please do an Honest Trailer for Home Alone 2.

[@goldenlightpictures6223]

The Rick Reviewer yes love that movie!!!

[@zbh9268]

Yes it's been 5 years since they did the trailer for the first one. It's time for the sequel.

[@ItsTheGuy77]

Hope they do one for before they leave for Christmas....

[@lostlegend2197]

Yes please!

[@dylanrichards8414]

Noooo! Its one of the worst films ever made!

[@brianahicks4805]

I’ve only ever seen Rocky IV (that’s the one they felt we needed to see in my high school Film & Lit) and I choose to believe that’s the only pre-req necessary to see Creed II

[@MyssBlewm]

Rocky 4 was the Rocky movie I watched the most as a kid. I loved it.

[@papamoosey1595]

*"Yo Paulie, what's the forecast for Central Florida right now"* 2:29

[@lilbitoveverything9255]

I just wanna say I think your Rocky impressions are on point!

[@duncanmckennie3790]

🤓 Well actually Spencer it’s omniscient when you know all things, omnipotent means all powerful... yes I hate myself for typing this out. Lol.

[@catrinabush1530]

Duncan McKennie I thought it too!

[@girass]

Lol the irony

[@firstaidforanthony]

im literally crying laughing at this. i live this show so much.

[@AnimalLover101195]

Poor Dan lol. He needs a hug. Love the rant! You guys are doing amazing, sweeties!

[@asgerhyer5325]

Behold, the three musketeers :) You guys are awesome. So funny watching you together. Cannot wait to see the next video

[@ashaigboko949]

Another great video! Keep up the good work!

[@bayoucurrent9564]

I didn't realize Ramky Balbambo was a mash-up of Rocky and Rambo until they said it.

[@sfitz0076]

Still listen to No Easy Way Out when I go running. Super underrated song.

[@nomarsenrab]

My favorite line from Dan "This is about a robot now"

[@kstepko]

KZbin commenters to Dan, Spencer, and Joe whenever they make a mistake in an Honest Trailer: “I will break you.” 🥊

[@zbh9268]

You started a series with part 4? Who are you George Lucas?

[@matthewheywood8532]

Zach Hambelton for this show rocky 4 is the most rocky of the series of movies and plays the best for this

[@LaurenTheorist]

Yay, all three of you are together again! I like these commentaries even more than the Honest Trailers themselves now, especially when you three are together. ❤

[@Genghisrex21]

I just want to say that I am all about a Last Starfighter Honest Trailer. The fact that playing Alex Rogan didn't launch Lance Guest into superstardom is a tragedy.

[@Towkeeyoh]

Dan meltdown was screenjunkies GOLD!!

[@zfactor1999]

Poor Dan.... good honest trailer and fun commentary!

[@Spthomas47]

Glad you threw in a Mantz reference with Arnold hahaha

[@KendaMawPeaches]

Watching Dan get loose is my absolute favorite OMG!!! I laughed so harddddd!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stiimuli]

This may be the funniest HTC ever

[@Noiiizeeey]

5:12 the way Joe reacted killed me

[@pvthitch]

Rocky never changes in the movie. Rocky does not change at all! Not once! Not in the entire movie! NO CHANGE!

[@johnneveu1718]

How much was the Epic voice changed in editing for the "80s"sound, than just John changing his voice?

[@MommyOfMutants]

I’ve literally had that “inception” conversation before. I still don’t know what word we would’ve used to describe that “multi-layered” concept before the movie. That was weird to see them talk about too 😂

[@chump3947]

An American in 1985 didn't know where Australia or Austria was, much like today!

[@MrDjsmooth87]

Hey, I LOVED the burning hurt song! Lol

[@thechosenones4375]

When Spencer said Drago was Rocky's greatest adversary, it took divine intervention to keep me from hurling something at the screen lol

[@nickchronis962]

great commentary guys!

[@ryansmith-jr4gn]

Paulie is alive in Rocky Balboa. Apparently he died three years before the events of Creed.

[@boxerbrad7396]

The ending twitch😂😂😂 Hope that makes it into a flashback in creed 2

[@joncardenas3203]

That was one of the best of the year for sure.

[@timflint25]

Rocky might be my favorite franchise. I've seen I-IV about 1000 times...and to this day I've never watched for than the first 15 minutes of Rocky V before quitting. Just not even worth acknowledging, and not worth breaking the streak. Rocky Balboa is solid too and has probably one of my favorite monologues ever. This will upset the purists but Creed might be the best of all of them. It just seems to be the most emotionally-charged, best acted and directed version of the story we all love. However, all of them can claim to be really impactful and emotionally poignant in certain aspects, there's no taking it for granted.

[@westwrd82]

Hey guys. FYI, The last Star Fighter is playing at lammael NoHo next week.

[@santos8468]

My grandma watched Rocky 4 alot and always got mad at Adrian for telling Rocky that he couldn't win. I miss my grandma.

[@LiverpoolfanINchina]

Joe should watch a films with dad and film his reaction

[@tannermoore9871]

Ramky Balbambo is one of the only Starring I have ever laughed at its great I love it thank you dan for this gem!

[@gyarb]

It should be canon that a writing team of the fathers of Spencer, Joe, and Dan made this

[@Cobralalalala]

Even though I've read it before, and love his art, I always forget that ring announcer is Leroy Neiman.

[@Clothy22]

I kind of hoped you would do the whole series but the hindsight bit worked well. Also, despite being the stupid one Rocky IV is my favourite.

[@slavicgaming]

This is my favorite rocky movie

[@kstepko]

Slavic Gaming Mine too!

[@422katieleigh]

Lol this commentary definitely wins the award for most testosterone ever expressed in a Screen Junkies video.

[@kstepko]

In Creed 3, Rocky dies and leaves everything to the robot, who then trains Adonis to fight Clubber Lang’s son.

Yay! The trio is reunited!

Yeah! I've always loved "No Easy Way Out." :)

You now HAVE to CREATE a The Last Starfighter honest trailer

[@davescarzo]

[@jake_]

Guys, i love you, but please use a sound compressor. Don't rely on that used by KZbin. With all the random screaming (which i like) , there is no sound level i can use. i have to either wear headphones or constantly adjust the sound volume.

[@Towkeeyoh]

Once in a while, I uncontrollably pause my own video when the guys say pause. facepalm for myself.

(leans forward) You knowww... the Balboa's had an au pair, or a nanny, or a... whatever the hell that woman did that came out to tell Rocky that Apollo was on the phone. So the kid was safe from R.O.B. the Robot. lol

[@glennwelsh9784]

Check out the music video for "No Easy Way Out". Robert Tepper is a dead ringer for Tommy Wiseau, and the video looks like someone took the roof scenes from The Room and made a stage play out of them. It's gold.

Rocky doesn't change! At all! No change at all!

You really gotta hand it to Satoshi Kon for hand drawing some of the most iconic scenes in cinema, like the elevator thing and the scene of a girl in fetal position in a bathtub. Animation is so fucking cool.

[@21pilotstillidie58]

Also sadly Charlie Wilson fought to continue to give aid to Afghanistan to rebuild their infrastructure but was denied and laughed at by the goverment because they didn't care as long as the russians were out which led to the taliban taking over and obviously this came back to haunt us as Philip Seymour Hoffmans character said it would

Head canon: this is a movie inside the Rocky universe. Balboa "punched up" the script of a biopic of his trip to Russia and the story around it.
