Hey there, this is my reaction to ROCKY 2. I hope you guys enjoy it, see you soon for another video :)
#reaction #moviereaction #rocky2reaction

[@Tusc9969]

Adrian changes her mind about Rocky fighting because she wants to support him. She wants him to win and believes in him. He abandoned boxing to help save her, so she is abandoning her opposition to help save him.

[@milannesic5718]

She is not pausing the movie while she wants to talk. She is missing the scenes. She completely skipped the chicken scene

[@herrzimm]

As rough as Mickey is as a trainer, it doesn't match the size of his soft heart for Rocky..... as seen by the way that he hangs around with Rocky while Adrian is in the hospital. But the thing that most people miss is this: Mickey actually realizes that Rocky has something OUTSIDE of boxing that will always give him joy and purpose, a family. Which to Mickey means that when it comes to training him for the rematch, Rocky has to be possibly the MOST DESERVING of Mickey's help due to the fact that even if the boxing thing "doesn't work out", Rocky is going to still be "okay" with life due to his family. Which is why, the training relationship of boxer/manager shifts into feeling more like father/son in this movie. And that sort of feeling is extended into Rocky 3 even more.

[@positivelynegative9149]

Amanda: How long has it been? Viewers: Five minutes. 🤣

[@dunringill1747]

Great reaction. Absolutely watch all 6 Rocky movies. Some you will like more than others, but I think you will enjoy the entire journey. Your viewers will definitely be there.

[@fabiodelimacastro7460]

A saga Rocky muda as pessoas, quem assiste ao segundo filme, assiste a saga inteira um puxa o outro, fato!

[@harryambroise2395]

When Mick told Rocky to stay down. It was to let Rocky rest a bit before getting up again to fight. Gives him at least 6 to 7 seconds to get up before the full 10 count.

[@massimilianominzera4527]

Don't ask me to stop being a man, it means he has to do what a man has to do. Nobody says to Adrian you can't wear make-up, so don't ask Rocky not to fight with Apollo after he provokes him

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

That building with the stairs is the Art Museum in Philadelphia. It's very beautiful or at least it used to be. I haven't been there since the early '80's.

[@rashadwalker8218]

I believe talia shire( adrian) was pregnant in real life during filming which is probably why they wrote it in the script her being pregnant and she missed alot of the film being in a coma

[@thomassierzega5440]

There is actually 6 Rocky movies! Please react to them all!

[@joelb2930]

love the content...please don't stop you have to do the rest of the sequels...you won't regret it 😘😘

you dont want to be angry when you box, it burns you out.

[@stevep2380]

Sylvester Stallone himself said rocky was a love story not a boxing movie.

[@CaddyJim]

*Yo Amanda...* You did it

[@didonna1974]

Rocky 3 is my personal favorite. I can't wait for your reaction.

[@MS-ro9dm]

The way Apollo entered the first fight was just extra hype because all the true competition were not available to fight him. He was trying to make a spectacle and give the fans a show. He really thought he was doing a good thing for an unknown fighter. Giving him his 15 minutes and a nice little payday. He really couldn't believe how wonderful a human being he was, lol. Then wham, it all comes crashing down. Rocky ruined his life. Rocky took it from him. After all he did for Rocky, trying to be a nice guy. Apollo had to be as mad at himself as anyone.

[@scottaznavourian3720]

If they both got up the fight iht goes to the scorecards ( and apollo most likely wins s by unanimous decision barring a last second knockout) if neither gets up its a draw (apollo retains). If apollo gets up and rocky doesnt apollo wins by knockout. If rocky gets up and apollo doesnt rocky wins by lknockout (which is what happens)

[@GlamityJean]

let's Rock it :P

[@crawdaddy2004]

I haven’t seen any of the series after Rocky V (as I couldn’t even make it through that terrible film), but I’ve loved the first four and heard the others have all been great, too.

[@ZebZanko]

Amanda...You're funny!

[@Hiraghm]

"He's so fixated on having to be a provider" yes; this was 1976 not 2026. We still knew what a woman was. Look, would you criticize a border collie for herding sheep? A border collie is going to herd; they have to, it's who they are. If not sheep, then your children, strangers, anyone. They're made for herding and are miserable if they can't. Men evolved to be providers and are no-good if they aren't. We have a male suicide epidemic in the west today. Epidemic. Why? Because men are being denied our basic nature. To provide and protect. There's a line from an old movie, 1936... "My Man Godfrey"... Godfrey Parks: "You know the difference between a man and a derelict? A job."

[@mistrzjuliusz9372]

[@marlonthemarvellous]

Gr8 reaction Amanda as always. In answer to your question….the steps are at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There is also a Statue of Rocky there now! Also perhaps my personal fav of the series because it has a cameo of my fav boxer sparring Rocky… Roberto Duran!!!!

[@amandamiquilena]

Thank you so much for your donation, Marlon! and thank you for the info. Always good to see you over here :)

[@richardheinz]

13:30. "The turns have tabled." That made me laugh.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

I was in a really terrible car crash some years ago. It was a lot of physical injury. I was in Intensive Care at the hospital for three weeks, in a coma. My late wife used to travel an hour each way every day to get to the hospital and stay by my side, so if I woke up she'd be there. When I see the scenes with Rocky staying by Adrian, I can't help it, but I cry. Great movie, and great reaction.

[@davidfuller7442]

Rocky wanted to continue fighting after he fought Apollo the first time. He only attempted something else, because he promised Adrian. He always dreamed of being a boxer. He would've never been happy doing anything else. Which is why she told him to win. She knew that's what he really wanted to do.

[@bpora01]

A true sequel unlike other franchises

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Amanda!😊 Great to see you continuing your Rocky journey! "Rocky III" and "Rocky IV" are bigger event films and are fun to watch. The thing to remember is that the Rocky franchise is a love story!❤ Rocky takes Adrian to the zoo and they see a tiger. Then Rocky buys a jacket with a tiger on the back. These things kind of tie in with the next film. Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) was an all-around athlete which included boxing. That is why he looks like a natural in the ring. Rocky's birth name is "Robert". The stairs Rocky climbs are the location of "The Philadelphia Museum of Art". Great reactions to the second and my favorite of the two, Amanda!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@Cadmandu2000]

The long stairway Rocky runs up at the end of the training montage leads to the Philadelphia Art Museum at the top. It is a fairly tough endurance exercise to walk up those steps, and it is even more challenging to run up that many steps.

[@jrgilby]

Iconic building in the middle of center city Spoilers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Steps

[@ErdTirdMans]

@@jrgilby The "middle of Center City" though??? It's considered the northwest border of CC (though really it's further than that because it's technically in Fairmount)

[@phillymike3181]

It's only 72 steps ---- less than six flights of stairs. Joe Frazier did it before there was Rocky

[@Cadmandu2000]

@phillymike3181 I guess it depends on your level of fitness. Frazier in his prime could do that easily, but I get winded on a standard flight of 12 steps.

[@phillymike3181]

I'm sorry if you mistook the comment about Joe Frazier as a personal put down. It was just meant to point out that Rocky was copying him, a matter that I read someplace that, at times bothered Mr Frazier before he died. (As for me, I know the number of steps because I WALKED up them after I moved to Philly. "A man has to know his limitations") @@Cadmandu2000

[@claymccoy]

His first name is actually Robert but everyone calls him Rocky. Also, his idol is real life boxer Rocky Marciano so he probably preferred being called Rocky.

[@_Curanes_Rex]

''What if he knocks him dead?'' Well, if he dies, he dies.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Amanda! You hit the nail on the head when you said these Rocky movies are a lot of things in disguise. I see it over and over, with reactors saying at the beginning, "Well, I don't like sports movies," or "I don't follow boxing." Then, at the end, they're all loving the movies. So you're right. The movies are about struggling and working hard, all the while dealing with life issues, money, and romance. Keep going. This is a good series. :)

[@Jason-bk3nl]

The last three minutes of this film is my favorite in all cinema. Sooo good!

[@nikkfrostt]

Adrian realized that if Rocky was to giveup the home and go back to the tiny apartment that he would feel despair. That he failed her and their future family. She wouldn't truly mind because she loves him, but she knows the pain will probably eat at him for the rest of his life. So even though she fears the pain or injuries that he will go through, she recognizes the only way he can be happy is by going back into fighting. So she decides to support him fully. Something else that doesn't get talked about. He already likely feels like a failure because he believed that he could get a job that's good enough and was constantly rejected. So much so that the only job he could get was manual labour. Knowing that he tried his best to find a safe job for her, knowing that the failure of that is a constant weight on his mind (even if he doesn't mention it) must have given her a better reason to change her mind about boxing.

[@ericdenney3302]

Yet another great reaction :). No need to ask us if we want you to keep watching the Rocky movies, of course we do!

[@drquem4279]

"Is he sufferring brain damage?" No, is just Rocky being Rocky. Nut now that you say it.... Well This will be a surprise tool that will help us later!

[@WhatHaveIMade]

After his proposal was accepted Rocky was doing the Tarzan yell. It wasn't a symptom of brain damage 😄 *edit* - Rocky 3 is worth watching, but know that most people think that Rocky 2 was the peak. I personally prefer Rocky, as Rocky 2 was more clichéd.

[@loonz1969]

The stairs Rocky runs up in both movies is the Philadelphia Art Museum. I've run up those steps myself many times since I live here in Philadelphia where the movies were filmed.

[@amandamiquilena]

Yesss, thanks for telling me. I bet you can find people running up and down those steps at any given time haha.

[@loonz1969]

@@amandamiquilena Yes! Even in the winter. There is a also Rocky statue at the foot of the steps as well as a Rocky themed souvenir store started by Stallone himself.

[@queegs73]

Nice reaction. You need to watch more than just Rocky 3. You should watch well into the Creed movies. I just love your gasps when you’re shocked. I should create a shot drinking game whenever you gasp on video 😂

[@davidyoung745]

Those stairs are in front of the Phillidelphia Art Museum. They’re a famous landmark now because of the Rocky movies.

[@CaddyJim]

Your commentary when he's chasing the chicken saying you're worried that he's risking his life to be a provider. Well that's what many men do every day the most dangerous jobs in the world

[@MyBlackandRedCZ]

After you watch the all the Rocky movies, I beg you to watch all the Rambo movies!

[@fredhellsire115]

12:32 "the turns have tabled"...that pesky show called the office lol...

[@CaddyJim]

The "Rocky" stairs are at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

[@TeamHarrisonMachine]

If they both got up it will be a draw and Creed would win the title automatically. So at that point even if Creed was low on points (which he wasn’t) he would’ve still one if he beat Rocky to his feet

[@Serene-Stoicism]

The steps are the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it's even a tough walk.

[@jamescole250]

I really would love to see you do a reaction to the (1979) movie The Jerk starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters so please comment on how dirty Navin is when both his family and Marie find him.

[@joshuawells835]

What this film highlights for professional athletes is the struggle of maintaining and managing their wealth. Professional athletes retire at younger ages than most professions and then many blow their wealth on excessive spending.

You should definitely watch the third film. There is something even worse than hateful comments about hateful letters...The guy sat down, wrote it out in ink and even paid for a stamp! Brutal!

[@VinciGlassArt]

My dad and I didn't connect much in life about anything. But Rocky was one of the things we connected on. Tough old Italian from the mean streets of Cleveland in his day. And a phenomenal athlete. Wrestling, Boxing, Football. Got me into wrestling as a kid because I was getting bullied a lot. Dad passed on this year. I'm so glad you "Get" the heart of this story. That it moved you. Seeing young people touched by the things that matter makes everything feel less lonely somehow. Whatever is stressing you out, I hope you weather that storm and find calm seas to sail on.

[@alexanderpavlovic8370]

You should totally watch the movie There Will Be Blood. It's such a great movie with great performances. I love Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in it.

[@rinkuhero]

i did find the part where he couldn't make money except from boxing unrealistic. there are plenty of young boxers who would love to hire him as a coach or trainer, especially because he just basically tied the best boxer in the world. other than that, nice movie.

[@incogneato790]

When you are a husband and father (or father to be) the weight of taking care of your family is very real, and when you can't measure up to that it really drags you down. What Paulie said to Adrian needed to be said. He could have said it nicer, but she needed to hear what he was saying.

[@norbert_78]

Fun fact Adrian‘s and Rocky’s baby in Rocky 2 was actually Sylvester Stallone’s REAL SON!!!

[@squirethemouse3457]

Great video 😊

[@billmckee1123]

You were talking when Micky said this time he was gonna train him to fight right handed.. and that would protect his bad eye. Then Micky yelled Now! Meaning Switch!! Switch back to southpaw!!

[@bruceheckerman7343]

Woman, You'd BETTER watch Rocky 3! And 4 and 5 and the piesta resistance, Rocky Balboa which you will absolutely go into fits over! We'll all be waiting to watch them with you. Your reactions are priceless.❤

[@Hiraghm]

Paulie's right; ever watch "The Karate Kid?" Miyagi: Walk on road, hm? Walk right side, safe. Walk left side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later [makes squish gesture] Miyagi: get the squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," [makes squish gesture] Miyagi: just like grape. Understand? He's going to fight, but he's half-assing his training. So he won't be ready. He won't be hard and strong as he needs to be, because she keeps making it clear to Rocky that she doesn't want him to fight. She's got him constantly worried and distracted. And that will get him hurt... permanent.

[@chandie5298]

I think most people don't get the full meaning of the first two Rocky films. People say...and they are not incorrect that in Rocky 1....Rocky wants to prove to himself that he is "not just another bum from the neighborhood". This is true, but an incomplete reason. Rocky wants to propose to Adrian.... but he loves her so much that he needs to prove to himself that he is WORTHY of her. He wants to go the distance to prove to himself that he is not just another bum from the neighborhood....and that he is worthy of asking Adrian to marry him. In Rocky 2, Rocky is thankful to god or "the fates" or whatever you want to believe for giving Adrian back to him. Adrian requests that he win the fight..... he owes Adrian and God and "the fates" for giving Adrian back to him and he will do whatever is necessary to give Adrian what she requests of him... he won't quit, he won't stop...for Rocky there is no other option other than giving everything inside of him to win that fight. The first two films are very intentionally and specifically about Adrian, from Rocky's perspective.

[@rmoreno94]

Rocky 3 pls

[@marcatkinson4149]

You will learn that one big theme through the first several movies is, that Rocky can't get fully motivated until Adrian gives him her support. While Paulie yelling at Adrian was wrong, he WAS right that as long as she wasn't supporting him, he had no chance in this fight, and likely would REALLY get injured, because he wasn't taking the training seriously, his heart wasn't in it. And Adrian changed her mind because she finally understood that he NEEDED her support to do it.

[@Hiraghm]

"both of you can have a job" This was 1976... men hadn't lost their cojones yet. It was a matter of your manhood to support your family. The destruction of the family in the US had barely just begun.

[@michaelmetcalfe4882]

If you are still curious, if both fighters get knocked down at the same time, the ref counts to ten in the same way - if both fighters stay down for the 10 the fight would be a draw (I've never heard of this actually happening IRL though), if only one gets up before ten they win by KO and if both get up the fight continues as normal (I've seen both these scenarios happen but they are super-rare). The most picture perfect double knockdown I've ever seen was Paul Samuels vs Cello Renda - for a few seconds it really looks like Synchronised Boxing as they both miss right hands, both swing round and land left hooks on each others chins and both fall down in opposite directions. FWIW they both got back up fairly quickly though.

[@ErdTirdMans]

28:53 It's the Philadelphia Art Museum, and it's an absolutely lovely place. If you wind up in my neck of the woods, visit it, and feel free to do the Rocky steps. Even though we like to rag on tourists doing it, we've all done it too at some point :P Incidentally, if you follow the line of that wide street straight from Rocky through the fountain and all the way through the trees, the tall masonry building exactly at the opposite end of it is City Hall. So in a sense, you HAVE seen our city council chambers, just not where you expected it The Rocky Statue that you'll see in later movies is at the bottom of the steps in an alcove though. If you need help finding it, ask someone, but under no circumstances should you let the crumb bums standing around it take your picture. They're just gonna try and bilk you for some money afterwards while they're holding your camera and they have you by the balls since you obviously want your camera\phone back. If you really need someone to take your photo, just ask someone going up or coming down the stairs and say what country you're from. We're nicer than we look, especially to foreign visitors, and ESPECIALLY to the French because the Revolutionary War is very much alive in the memory of this city (thanks for that btw)!

[@justinfalzon6854]

The recent fight with Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou was totally Rocky 1. PRove me wrong.

[@no1guy825]

Beautiful movie. The devotion of Mickey is also center stage in this. I love watching his sense of victory, relief and closure as Rocky's manager and friend. First Blood (the first Rambo) is a must watch Stallone movie. it's more than just action. really.

[@camaroman266]

Rocky's story is my all-time favorite story. You have GOT to keep going, please🙏. Go all the way to Creed 2. That gives you 6 more to plan for. You will not regret it.

[@zmarko]

The steps is the Philadelphia Art Museum which faces down The Benjamin Franklin Parkway towards Center City. Its really a beautiful view early in the morning when theres very few people out (not that that happens anymore).

[@Hiraghm]

Rocky had been pursuing Adrian for a long time, but they've been involved about 5 or 6 weeks. My parents dated for 3 weeks and were married 50 years. My mother was heartbroken when he died, and the only time I ever saw him scared, was when she was being wheeled into surgery. This modern nonsense that you have to 'date' for 400 years before getting married is just that... modern nonsense.

[@nickrizzi4927]

Amanda, you are so fun to watch because of your on topic sincerity. Please have a look at 2 movies: Chuck and Paradise Alley. Both will bring the Rocky franchise into greater appreciation. Thank you and good health to all.

[@pepsiman990]

It's not that Mic didn't have faith in Rocky. He's telling him to stay down and take as much of a brake as he can before getting back up. Rocky 1 through 4 are great, 5 is...ok, not as good as the first 4 but still worth watching.

[@gregorychampion4843]

Rocky could have taken a nap and still won. Under boxing rules, only Creed was the only knocked down by a punch. However, for dramatic effect Sly had both fall to the deck fighting to beat the count.

[@MrJjcatt]

The stairs in the Rocky movies are one of two of the most famous stairs in movie history,the other being the staircase in “The Exorcist “,but being the polar opposite,in Rocky he runs up the stairs and has a victory moment raising his hand,in The Exorcist,let’s just say some people fall down the stairs,I don’t want to ruin the movie for people who haven’t seen this masterpiece,let’s just say those stairs are famous for a reason

[@rofyle]

Remember from the first movie they started dating at Thanksgiving (November). The fight was in January. Figure about at least a month for recovery after the fight. So we can assume they dated for at least four months, probably five.

[@Phil-p7p]

Amanda, it's great to see you so invested in this movie franchise. You'll be wearing one of Rocky's jackets with a tiger on the back next!! 🐯

[@crawdaddy2004]

Adrian has always been my favorite character in this film franchise followed by Apollo Creed (gotta clarify which Creed).

[@crawdaddy2004]

4:12 “Why does it look like he’s gonna go down… … … … On his knees?” While that was clearly what happened, the pause was at a very awkward moment. 😂

[@LuckySmurf]

Apollo is as much of a promoter / entertainer as he is a fighter. The trash talking he was doing (@3:02) was mostly for the cameras. He wasn't being particularly serious about fighting Rocky again at that very moment.

[@hoptoe4761]

This is the absolute worst reaction to a ROCKY movie I've ever seen. You don't truly love movies. You were entirely unmoved by one of the greatest film series of all time.

The Rocky series is my all-time favorite movie series. Please continue reacting to them, including the Creed movies afterwards.

[@08191906]

Loved your reaction. It's apparent you're a woman who likes to maintain her composure. So watching you throughout this reaction, to see the cinematic love story of Rocky and Adrianne move you like it did, is a testament to the highly emotional drama quality of the franchise. All that is to say, please continue with the series.

[@Roller-Ball]

Welcome to a great journey................. I think Rocky 3 is the weak one. You still must continue with the rest of them. Another fun thing is to see many different ways they play the rocky theme. (instruments and rhythm )
