Reacting to ROCKY III (1982) | Movie Reaction

[@jotham777]

Mickey didn't set up the fights. He just selected strong fighters that weren't the absolute strongest. Set ups are arranging with the opponents that they intentionally lose.

[@Dularr]

They are still considered setups. But they did not pay them to throw the fights.

[@herrzimm]

Yeah, not "set up" (which means to determine the fight from the start)...... Mick simply handpicked fighters who would "most likely" lose the fight in general. Kind of taking the number 4 contender as the "opponent" instead of the number 1 contender. Still "good"... just not "good enough at this time", sort of matches.

[@CaddyJim]

@@Dularr *NOT Set-Up's* this is very common in Boxing where Managers or Promoters choose the fights that best benefit their fighter. Once they become champions there are sometimes mandatory opponents that many chaps have turned down for bigger paydays or a host of other reasons, but they're stripped of the belt

[@woeshaling6421]

what you’re referring to is throwing fights. Getting paid off to lose

[@NY1054Cool]

@@Dularrno that’s not a set up it’s called hand picked . He fought various contenders and some discretionary opponents. Joe Czack his 2nd title defense was a top prospect mentioned in the first Rocky movie as a possible opponent for Apollo Creed and we see Rocky knocked out the Germany champion in his 4th defense. They were fighters who Rocky would most likely beat . Rocky legitimately won his matches .

[@Mrvictorfernandes]

Adrian's character arc in the first three Rocky movies is remarkable. She goes from being mousy, shy, and almost timid to a fiercely strong stoic woman who helps her broken husband find his footing again. Rocky gave Adrian a newfound sense of confidence and determination, and Talia Shire communicates this beautifully. Her delivery of that speech on the beach is brutally moving: "You're the one that's gotta settle it!... Get rid of it! Because when all the smoke is clear and everyone's through chanting your name, it's just gonna be us! And you can't live like this! WE can't live like this!" And let's take a moment to recognize that Mr. T is actually a genuine, down to earth good guy in real life.

[@audiogarden21]

Adrian is my favorite character specifically because of that, and her journey and growth are also my favorite aspects of the franchise as a whole.

[@TroutFlyFisher]

Adrian is a Boss in these movies. I loved her arc and absolutely think she was a rock as well.

[@CrabJuice83]

Adrian with confidence is absolutely stunning.

[@AndyJayroe]

Song was specifically made for this movie. They were having a tough time coming up with a song (Survivor) so Stallone let them watch a raw cut of the movie. The group took notice when Apollo said “Eye of the Tiger” and that is what they built the song off of.

[@Yorkie83]

Queen turned down the movie to use the song “we will rock you” 😉

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

In real life, Mr T was a physical beast. In the army, he got in trouble and for punishment they had him cut trees with an axe. He cut down 75!😮😮😮 He then won a old televised TV program, the tough Man contest. He was an ex club bouncer!

[@samswords9993]

Yeah. Read his autobiography some time! Crazy!

[@justinwill1163]

Mr T was a bouncer (doorman) One of the tv networks created a program that was a bouncer competition. He was so charismatic he quickly got tv (the A-Team) movie roles. And the rest is history. He and Hulk Hogan did have a pro wrestling tag team for a short time. Mr T is a true American pop culture icon. Get some 🥜 !

how many seasons of A Team ? Dawn M should catch some of those episodes, too funny !

[@shawnd482]

He had also won 2 Toughman boxing competitions

[@TayannaStudios]

"They're gonna make me cry already!" Yes, yes they are. 🤣

[@dunringill1747]

Great reaction, Dawn! Adrian's Golden Speech to Rocky is a great example of her character arc. It is one of the highlights of the movie for me. Some FYI for you: - "Eye of the Tiger" was specifically written for this movie. - Mr. T got his start here. He moved on to star in a TV series called "The A-Team". His quote "I pity the fool!" became very popular. - Mr. T in real life is the opposite of Clubber Lang. He is a real class act. He took his mother to the "Rocky 3" Premiere and she was very angry with him. She said "I didn't raise you to behave like THAT!" What a dear woman.

[@lynnfilmstn3134]

Rocky IV is my favorite.

[@didonna1974]

Rocky 1, Rocky 3, Rocky 6, and Creed 1 are my favorites of the Rocky saga.

[@johnscott4196]

Mr T was such a huge celebrity back then.. What a character. I heard he was in the military police and later became a bouncer before getting into acting

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

A grown man wailing in sorrow is one of the most disturbing sounds I can think of hearing. That being said, Rocky III perfectly continues the through theme of the whole Rocky franchise. "I can take everything you have, 100% of your best, directly in the face, and I will still come for you, and I'll still be standing when you fall."

[@347Jimmy]

The difference in size between Stallone and Hulk Hogan is legit, Stallone isn't actually a massive guy (look at him next to Kurt Russell in Tango & Cash), while Hulk *is* pretty huge (until you see him against Andre the Giant)

[@TikiRainbows]

Mr. T is a great inspiration, even though he's the villain in this

[@DawnMarieX]

He was brilliant 😅

[@Villa22Lobos2]

Mr. T is awesome. He took his mother to the premiere. She walked out during the stature argument scene. She said she didn’t raise her boy to talk to women the way he did Adrien. I don’t think he’s played a villain since.

[@karabenomar]

And to anyone who says he isn't...I pity the fool.

[@Dman425]

Mr.T has always been a good guy

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Mr. T is a great Christian. In the 80s he would visit children's hospitals all the time. Look up George Peppard honors Mr T.

[@EcvNacho]

Mr.T played the character B.A. Baracas in the TV show "The A-Team" from the 80's

[@toneillish]

The A-Team was 1983 to 1987

[@quwykxz]

He also had his own Saturday morning cartoon, called simply "Mr. T", and a comic book, called "Mr.T and The T-Force". And he guest-starred in multiple TV shows and several movies.

[@user-cn5ie4zf2c]

The beginning of the movie said introducing Mr T. This is what made him a household name. He is best known for his role on the A team.

[@Demigord]

Adrian's speech here is amazing

[@skepticcritic4995]

28:00 I believe this was Mr. T's first movie as well as the introduction to his most well known catchphrase "I pity the fool"

[@paul1979uk2000]

Yeah this was Mr T's first movie role, and if I recall, his mum didn't like that he played the bad guy and said something along the lines of, I didn't raise you to be like that lol, anyway, I don't think he played the bad guy in any other roles after that, which is kinda a shame because he did it so well lol.

[@skepticcritic4995]

[@Lensmaster1]

He did a couple of bit parts but this was his first starring roll.

[@jacobfleming3926]

My favorite Rocky Movie

[@thestoicsoliloquies4041]

Mr. T won a bouncer competition. He then was cast in Rocky III, which really started his career. After Rocky he was on the TV show "The A-Team". Because of his unique look and style, he became the most recognizable member of the A-Team and has retained a large following ever since. He also did a few other films (DC Cab, etc.), and he had his own animated TV show and comics and figures. For a few years in the 80s everything was Mr. T.

[@dishwaterhands]

I know a guy who was a professional hip-hop/break dancer in clubs in LA back in the day. He said he knew Mr. T as a bouncer in one of the clubs. Even then, as my friend claims, Mr. T was very ambitious and had plans to become famous. He succeeded. Rocky III was his big break.

[@e.m.3081]

I have to say, this was my favorite reaction EVER!!!! "GET SOME NUTS" had me in tears.

[@Lensmaster1]

What makes these movies continuously work is that they are set in boxing, but they are character stories. Rocky is continually growing and changing as his life and career goes on.

[@347Jimmy]

Yeah, it's a drama/romance story set against a backdrop (foreground?) of boxing

[@chetstevensq]

The painting at the end was done by Leroy Neiman who was a popular artist that did sports themed paintings in the 70s and 80s. He has a small part in this film as the ring announcer during the Thunder Lips fight. Sly wanted to cast an actual boxer as Clubber but when they trained together he hit so hard that Stallone was afraid for his health so he got Mr T who was working as a bouncer in a Chicago nightclub and bodyguard for boxer Leon Spinx at the time.

[@CrashTestPilot]

My Mother LOVES every one of these movies. They play them on TV back to back here on New Year's day and that's her entire day.

[@DawnMarieX]

That's amazing

[@traceyreid4585]

Apollo saying "There is no tomorrow, there is no tomorrow!" makes me tear up now. What a legend Carl Weathers was 😥 Sylvester Stallone has that painting from the end in his home

[@mil2k11]

This was the first Rocky movie I got to actually see in the theater. I think I was 12. We didn't have sources like IMDB and such, so seeing Hulk & Mr T were total surprises. Hulk was just really starting to run roughshod over the rest of wrestling and Mr T's TV show was amazing at the time. Bringing them both into a movie at that time was not even thought possible. The amazing thing to me with this series is that they could have produced 10 films in the time they did the first five. It could have been a true money grab, but they didn't. Sure - they kept them coming, but they had substance and stood on their own as solid films. I think Rocky IV was the last (during the run) of the good ones, they really tried hard not to totally sell out and produce a bad product simply for the money. I totally respect that.

[@chrisnaumovski9056]

Mr T was a huge icon in the 80s, all the kids including myself loved him. He was in the A team a popular tv show and was in a bunch of movies mainly playing a good guy.

[@BigTroyT]

After Mr. T got out of the Army in the late 70s, he went to work as a bouncer in Chicago, and quickly became the doorman, wearing the jewelry left behind by customers (some accidentally, and some as a result of being in a fight in the club and being forcefully ejected by the bouncers), which kept them from having to be let back in the club to claim their items. His look and personality got him noticed, and after a couple of years, he became a body guard for wealthy celebrities, which resulted in him moving to Los Angeles. He began to go to auditions, but he wasn't hired as an actor until he was cast in a very early reality show - a kind of "Ninja Warrior"-type show for bouncers called "America's Toughest Bouncer" - which he won and which REALLY got him noticed. That led to him being cast as a regular member of the TV show The A-Team, which skyrocketed his popularity and sold a ton of merch, and eventually as his role as Clubber Lang. That established him as an actor and he had several of his own shows, including his own cartoon show. He worked steadily into the 90s before pulling back from acting in the 2000s.

[@thot717]

I think I heard one time, back in the 1980s. Mr t, was Sylvester Stallone, bodyguard. That was how Stallone knew Mr t

[@bjgandalf69]

I love how Dawn literally predicted every story beat of this film and relished when she was right. She is so entertaining in her reactions!...love it! Mr. T became a big star on TV after this film in the Stephen J. Cannel series, The A Team (1983-7) as B.A. Baracus.

[@Bruno.1027]

Mr. T was the favorite character in the A Team, one of the biggest tv shows of the eighties but he was everywhere- guest starring in other shows, he had his own cartoon, he recorded albums for kids and he had his own cereal. People loved him because he was so positive and friendly despite the characters he plays. He grew up in a really tough project (council estates in the UK) in Chicago and grew up to be a bodyguard of Michael Jackson and others. That got him into acting. He was really close to his mother and when he took her to the premiere of this movie she got upset by how Clubber acted and said "I didn't raise you to act this way" and Mr. T teamed up with Hulk Hogan to wrestle but it was promotional and not something he did for very long.

[@DawnMarieX]

[@nmkosak]

@@DawnMarieX If you get to Rocky IV, I would highly recommend to also watch Stallone`s 2021 director`s cut called "Rocky vs Drago". As a die-hard Stallone fan since the 80s, I have always loved Rocky IV since it was released in 1985 and I have seen it countless times, but some of the changes Sly made in the new cut are excellent and especially the Apollo character benefits from that. If I had the skills, I would make my own personal version out of these two cuts (e.g. I prefer the final fight from the original cut). There is also a documentary about Stallone creating the director`s cut.

[@michaellynch9550]

But do not watch the remake before you watch the original of Rocky IV

[@nmkosak]

@@michaellynch9550 I completely agree, always watch the original cut first.

I saw both versions. Although I enjoy some elements of Rocky Vs. Drago but I still personally enjoy the original theatrical version of Rocky IV over that one (still, the new version is worth a watch also)...I wish someone one day would make a hybrid edit and include all the scenes from both versions together in an complete ultimate cut (bot included). ✌️

[@bodine57]

26:48 "Gettin' very samesy" reminds me of a bit from the tv show "Taxi", where Tony is explaining the Rocky movies to Alex. Alex complains that they're all the same, and Tony replies "That's why they're numbered, so you can tell them apart!". 😄

Mr. T started out as a bouncer and gained a reputation. He then became a bodyguard for celebrities, most notable being Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. He appeared on a show called "America's Toughest Bouncer" and caught the attention of Stallone because of the cool and colorful way he talked.

[@mr.losangeles6154]

Mr. T became famous by winning "The world's toughest bouncer" competition. Because of this, the Rocky producers decided to make Rocky 3 with Mr. T. Another producer then created "The A Team" where Mr. T was a regular character. It was in Rocky 3 where Mr T met Hulk Hogan and they became good friends.

[@The-Underbaker]

Mr T (Laurence Tureaud) was an amateur wrestler ("real" wrestling), a nightclub bouncer (he got all his jewellery from customers he got into fights with) and won some toughman contests. Rocky III was his first major acting debut which then led to his role as B. A. Baracus in the TV show The A-Team. In '85 he was in the main event at Wrestlemania 1 in a tag-team match with Hulk Hogan.

[@Dularr]

This is more like classic old school boxing. The champion fights a few non-championship fights. Hand pick a few lesser challengers. Until they are forced to retire, stripped of their belt or fight the top challenger.

Mr. T was discoverd while employed as a bodyguard I think it was. He had also been trying to break into an acting Career at the time. He was also involved with strongman competitions.

Mr. T was in the American TV show The A-Team. His character caught on and he became a major celebrity with ads and TV appearances. He was a bouncer at bars in Chicago before he got discovered. Most of his tag lines were from the A-Team.

And just like that, America was cheated out of 34 years of great villainy.

How many actors have made a CAREER of being the bad guy: and then transitioned into other roles?

You knew what was going to happen early on but who cares. The audience knew the ending before this started but that’s not the point of Rocky. It’s about having a good time, life lessons, and an ending where the Good Guys win. I know you will enjoy Rocky 4

Eye of the Tiger was written and performed by members of Survivor after Queen turned down Stallone for use of Another One Bites The Dust. The first Rocky wasn't a boxing movie, it was a love story about a boxer and a shy girl. Stallone tried to sell the picture to several studios for a few years before he was actually able to get it picked up. Butkus is Stallone's actual dog he raised from birth. Yes, real prize fights are exciting, you would have a blast, I wish I could take you to one. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

RIP to Carl Weathers (Apollo) and Burt Young (Paulie). The beach scene with Stallone and Talia Shire (adrian) always gives me chills, she delivers such a good monologue and her character beside Rocky is so amazing how she starts out timid and shy but very sweet to a very strong woman who adapts to living with a fighter, and she's jsut as strong a fighter as he is, but in a different way. Beach monologue gives me chills every time. Hoping I can find my Adrian someday.

[@Bat-Twenty-Two]

This is a great trilogy within the Rocky franchise, where Rock and Creed go from strangers to rivals to friends. And Adrian becomes a rock as well.

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

Great reaction !! Well I originally Sylvester Stallone said in an interview before this came out that this was going to be the final rocky film he felt the story comes full circle that Rocky and Apollo start as rivals at the end of the third become almost like brothers . But with how huge this movie was and how big the fasbase is it became a saga with rocky 6 being the very last Rocky film .

The first time, I remember Mr. T. I was watching the best body guard contest on a Saturday afternoon. It consisted of multiple events. The one event everyone talked about that saw it. The obstacle course to get from the back of the bar to outside the front door of the bar. Mr. T had run the course the fastest. He had an average time up to the last two obstacles (to exit the front doors and stop the time upon reaching the sidewalk outside the bar). He topped everyone time by running thru the doors, thus that was one of those, did you see that on the television over the weekend?. I believed it made the Wild World of Sports back then.

[@muggchum]

I got to watch fights with Mr T once. He is the best guy I ever met. So good to everyone, looking after a friend who was a quadriplegic. Patient and kind. I root for him in this movie. 😊

[@josepholivo1448]

All the Rocky movies go together, if you decide to watch the next one, watch them all. They're like chapters in the book of Rocky's life. Especially if you're going to watch the Creed movies it's important to watch all the Rocky movies first. I really don't want to say much more than that about them. I hope you continue with them, your reactions are quite enjoyable. Hope to see them all on here.

In the 70's, celebrities knew they became a household name when they appeared on "The Muppet Show".

[@samswords9993]

I saw this when I was in high school, when it first came out on vhs. The feeling is guys had after this! We were pumped! We were hyped and ready to go! Eye of the tiger, man!

[@ericgallini3988]

Still one of my favorite movies. And yes, "Eye of the Tiger" was written for this movie. The band Survivor wrote songs for this movie and the next.

[@solongdentahlplaan7975]

I pity the fool who doesn't like this reaction!

[@DawnMarieX]

😅😅

[@hoagsmash4188]

WHY did I take a drink just before Dawn said "he IS tired, breathin outta his ass" 🤣🤣 I LOST it

[@sharonellis8776]

It always makes me cry when Rocky loses his manager. xx

[@daleclark2376]

That picture at the end credits is an original Leroy Nieman. He was the ring announcer with the prominent mustache. ✌️❤️

[@TampaCEO]

7:30 - That statue is still in downtown philadelphia, pennsylvania. They placed it right next to the steps where they filmed this scene.

[@suproliver]

Mr. T was very popular in the 80s. Rocky III introduction Mr. T to the world. Mr. T has been in a few movies. He was in one of the early wrestle manias fighting side by side with Hulk Hogan. He's most famous for his TV series The A-Team. He also had an animated Saturday morning cartoon show called Mr. T where he and these gymnast kids solve crimes. I also remember eating Mr. T cereal when I was a kid. -OG

[@jstube36]

You spoke about learning more about Boxing. As exciting as Rocky is, there is nothing like the real thing. " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face"-Mike Tyson. There is a great Documentary called When We Were Kings. This is the buildup to a Title fight in 1974 between George Foreman and Muhammed Ali in Zaire, Africa. I would also recommend watching two great fights. Both being Ali vs Frazier. The 1st in Madison Square Garden(aka Fight Of The Century) 1971. And the Thrilla In Manila. The two rivals coming close to death in the ring. Just a few suggestions to get started.

[@SNAPS3D]

Originally the song for this movie was going to be "You're The Best Around" by Joe Esposito, but as much as Sly liked the song he didn't feel it really fit the movie. So he went to the band Survivor to come up with a new song, and they wrote "Eye of the Tiger" for the movie. The other song (the 1st one) ended up in "The Karate Kid" instead, and fits way better I might add.

[@cheret6879]

Can you imagine watching this for the first time at 11 years old. It make me box the trees 😅

[@danlincoln8987]

Nobody and I mean nobody could have played a better villain than Mr. T did for clubber Lang, This roll was freaking iconic dude was awesome

[@capowable]

Aye I like you. You actually pay attention and not miss important things by talking over it. Thanks for this reaction.

[@Blaiyan]

Mr. T is from the A-team.

[@PhilS0341]

Three facts about this movie. 1. Rocky 3 Adrian is the perfect wife. 2. Mr. T had to explain to his mother that he was only acting in the movie after she walked out of the premiere because she "raised him better". 3. Listening to Dawn say "Get some nuts" is hysterical.

[@yournamehere6002]

This movie introduced Mr. T--then he went on to DC CAB and the tv series THE A-TEAM, which is where you probably know the phrase "I Pity the Fool"

[@limpfordrisky6290]

I was on my back when you said "is that the guy from the Snickers advert" 🤣🤣🤣

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

That statue is real and stood in that place for quite some time But it was moved up the street. Mr. T had his own cartoon that preached good behavior and kindness and healthy living. He was also an advocate for the anti-drug campaign.

[@maxwillson]

I'm going to watch you, watch Rocky III on my lunch break. What a weird world we're living in ahahahaha

[@michaelhoward6663]

If you want to see the real life version of the relationship between Rocky and Apollo, watch the 3 fights between Micky Ward and Arturo Gatti. Amazing fights where they beat the hell out of each other, and afterwards became very close friends. A great introduction to the sweet science.

[@kevincaulder20]

Mr. T was a bodyguard at one-time for Muhammad Ali, who, is the inspiration for Apollo Creed. Hisvreal name is Lawrence Turead. This movie made him famous and his popularity was used to feature hom pn the television show The A-Team.

[@Kebmo338]

The real life Rocky wrestled Andre the Giant in a charity match.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Dawn, you probably know Mr T from the '80 TV series "The 'A' Team" where he played B.A. Baracus. I can't wait to see your reaction to 'Rocky 4', I think that it's one of the best in the series.

[@edwardchristensen414]

Those reactions… Welcome to the Rocky family Dawn❤
