Hi Mary your biggest fan from LA love your reaction to the Rocky 😇 I got to say all the Rockies movies really make you cry😢 you made me cry as well with you😪 but your reaction is always the best Mary truly🙂 congratulations on your art picture on your Instagram I like it and I can't wait to see you react to Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

@Mary Rocky 5 was hated for making Rocky loose it all (yes it happens to alot of athletes but as fans we did not want to see it.....) plus his last fight was in the streets not in the ring.... also the "villain" was lame. I think for many I know those 3 reasons are why that film is BY FAR the most rated film of all the Rocky's. Hope that makes sense.

I understand your opinion, and you definitely don't have to apologise or justify it to anyone. However, you Should apologise to your friends though... No kisses on the lips?!? What's that all about?... I would definitely be disappointed if I was one of your friends... hehehe Btw, there is a deleted scene with Paulie that you can find on yt that is definitely worth watching.

[@timothywhitfield8785]

Talia Shire (Adrian) Was originally in the script, but she and Stallone agreed that Rocky would not have the "beast inside him" if Adrian was still there. After in a interview she was asked why she wasn't in it, and she said "I am in it... the whole movie is about ME" - Rocky would be totally happy running the restaurant with here, and would have no reason to fight. They also felt they could not kill her IN the film, because most of us would not make thru the rest of the film.

[@jmsmys13ify]

I think that they should have had a flash back to her in the hospital, not necessarily her death though. You know, one last scene of them together, one last uplifting little speech to Rocky to get him through. Would have been nice.

As an older guy, seeing Rocky looking back on the good times and thinking the best is behind him really hits home. It’s always a great boost to see him shake that off and start looking forward again or at least get ready to live in the moment. I’m at the age where I’ve buried a few of those closest to me, so while Adrian’s death surprised me at first it didn’t hurt as much as it would have if I were younger. There comes a time when you realize that we’re all living on borrowed time and you don’t feel so bad for the dead if they’ve lived a full life. You just feel for those they left behind to carry on without them.

Some quick tidbits. The man who was washing dishes at Adrian's is Spider Rico, the fighter that Rocky beat at the beginning of the original Rocky film. It's the same actor as well. Little Marie is in a deleted scene in Rocky 5. Rocky runs into her with a bunch of homeless people. She's portrayed by the same actress from the original Rocky film as well.

I remember being in high school and going with my mom on the Wednesday night this came out in 2006 and we both lost it during that epic speech he gave his son. We are both massive Rocky fans and it was such a special moment because it was the 1st Rocky I was able to see on the big screen because when Rocky V came out. I wasnt even born yet. I remember in 1998 I was 6 and coming back from playing baseball, was watching HBO and they started showing the whole series 1-5. I was glued to the TV all day. Hadn't even changed from my baseball uniform until Rocky V was over because I didnt want to miss a moment.

[@christopherferrarelli2262]

It was speculated how Rocky could’ve passed his tests in order to get a license to box. The answer was somewhat obvious: when he was diagnosed in Rocky V, he never got a 2nd opinion. He just took the advice of the doctors and respected Adrian’s wishes. Had he gotten diagnosed from another doctor, they might’ve said he could’ve fought. But I think it was out of love for Adrian he just accepted his results.

[@marcpower4167]

That and advances in medicine between then and 2006.

[@shadowphoenix1696]

Accept the film plays on that trauma all though the film. Lets admit it, his injuries disappear when the plot requires it. Like the fact he should be almost blind in one eye.

[@joee7452]

It is also possible that the condition could heal, just that it would take 10 or 20 years. That length of time meant that his boxing career at that time was over. In Rocky 5 he was in his mid to late 30s, so a 10+ year healing would mean his fighting career was over at that point.

[@taylorpack7705]

He had a severe concussion not brain damage. Happened to a lot of boxers back in the day.

If you ever get the chance, watch the deleted scene with Paulie and Rocky, it is easily the most emotional moment Paulie has, as it’s all about Adrian, and it leaves me wondering why they left it out. It actually redeems him a lot.

[@jaros428]

Glad you finally watched this one. I hope the movie will grow on you more. The shock for the creative decisions in this movie is understandable, but I think those decisions are what make this film a brave and timeless entry. Rocky’s love for Adrian is underscored in this story❤️

[@chaospoet]

I think this might be the ONLY movie I ever saw in theaters that made me cry. That whole beginning finding out Adriene died (and Rocky coming to see her long after she died proving what he said in all the previous films that she's NEVER getting rid of him) and Paulie finally admitting he treated her poorly and that he deeply regrets it and hates himself for it was just brutal, but Rocky's speech to Rocky Jr just about killed me. When I was younger I didn't have my head screwed on right for a time and my Dad basically gave me the same speech with the same mannerisms and tone of voice so when Rocky said all that I FELT that.

[@markperez7597]

There is a deleted scene right after Paulie says he's "retiring" that gives a lot of context into his depression and how he really felt about his sister. Extremely emotional.

At the time this happened, a lot of well-known characters (Indiana Jones, John McClane, etc.) were making a comeback. This was released just in time for the 30th Anniversary. A whole new resurgence for Sly Stallone as an actor & filmmaker. Proving why he is the legend that he is. It took 3 years to write the script for part 6. To catch the flavor of the 1976 original. In his late 50s-Early 60s, Sly was practically living in the gym. Raising his physique to unbelievable levels. The best shape of his life. Balboa vs. Dixon fight was the first thing they filmed in Mandalay Bay and to be as real as possible. Rocky's character has endured for so long and still stays humble. The speech to Rocky Jr. is the best dialogue of the film and that will always be remembered. Just as Lil' Marie said "The last thing to age is the heart". A worthy finale for the character's journey. Your gonna love the Creed Saga. With Sly Stallone as one of the producers. Michael B. Jordan will make his directorial debut in Creed 3. RIP to Tony Burton (Duke Evers Sr.)

That's not the original script. I read an article from Syfi magazine that explains in depth how Adrian really dies. It states that the robot from Rocky 4 was having an affair with Adrian, and in a bizarre sex scene the robot accidently electrocutes Adrian and the robot. Killing them both. The robot refused to wear a rubber and decided to go raw, inadvertently killing them both. And not that it matters, but it also causes a power outage in the whole neighborhood

"If I say something, nobody believes it. But if Rocky says it, it's true." - Sylvester Stallone

[@thedefinitionisthis]

In the grand scheme of the "Rocky" movies, "Rocky Balboa" tends to be either underrated, or flat-out forgotten. It's a shame really, because for me I think "Balboa" overall is my second-favorite of the first six "Rocky" movies. It successfully brings back the tone of the first movie, and despite the somewhat absurd premise, conceivably makes Rocky an underdog both in AND out of the ring. It's emotional in all the right ways, and shows how far Rocky as a character has come. The story and tone benefit from Stallone's personal life experiences up to that point, and it shows. It definitely serves as a fitting conclusion to this stretch of movies focusing on solely on Rocky's life. Definitely move on to the "Creed" films afterwards!

[@nilesstark]

This one was definitely deep and even shows that Rocky still has that fight in him. But the follow-up/spinoff Creed does make things interesting.

[@differencemaker242]

The Actor who played Paulie recently passed away, about a month or 2 ago. RIP

“For some reason I thought Adrian died because I didn’t see Adrian in his bed...(sees tombstone)...WHAT THE #%$*!” 😡

[@philmordecai]

The post fight scene as they leave the arena wasn't scripted. As mentioned by others this was a real fight crowd (filmed before a real heavyweight championship fight) and their chanting was genuine. This was picked up by the actors playing Robert & Pauline and they turned Stallone around and his reaction was real, feeling the love from the crowd for this beloved character.

[@JacobPMendoza]

You’ll love the Creed series after this film.

[@shawndenson3019]

The most pleasant surprise in the franchise. Opening night I saw this in a full theater. At the end we were all on our feet chanting "Rocky, Rocky, Rocky."

[@blanewalker5512]

You crazy as hell. The real under dog was Paulie and all of the abuse he had to endure

[@tyrone7635]

One of the tender things about Rocky is that he does love Paulie because no matter how unhinged he is he really loves Rocky and his sister. He just doesn't know how to express it because he thinks we will always see him as a monster. he's really not

[@vorlon1]

Mary, you might be interested to know that the fight commentators, the referee, and the announcer were the real crew from HBO Sports that called many fights over the years that were live on the channel.

[@william1611youtube]

Yes, and that gave these later films a great note of realism. Also: Rocky's opponent, "Mason Dixon," was played by Antonio Tarver. He doesn't look like a heavyweight, but he was Heavy Champion for a few years after knocking out Roy Jones Jr., who was considered the pound-for-pound greatest fighter on earth.

Your appreciation of Rocky as a franchise is just lovely

[@davidpisachubbe7869]

I really love seeing throughout the Rocky movies how Rocky evolves from a young man to a older man. I love seeing his philosophy of life and how he handles lifes heartaches. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward!!

[@michaelaraiza9650]

They shot the fight scene after a real ppv fight. So everything was real. Crowd, fireworks, HBO announcers. Awsome reaction ✌️

[@davidrobinson8543]

Been waiting for you to do this one

[@JessChillN_]

Rocky hitting like 100x times harder with his old man strength buff that shits real😂But man this movie always gets me his speech to his son will always make me tear and the end always gets me too he goes out on his terms for himself to prove it to himself and he didn’t get the victory but he did the people gave him his flowers and like he told Pauly now he can go home he’s at peace the people champ😭🔥

[@klass_1221]

Love "The speech"! "It's about keep moving forward".

They filmed an alternative ending where Rocky wins.

It is the pain that makes this a great movie. His love for Adrian is what made Rocky a great movie. It is a great story.

[@robstefani9853]

This was actually my first Rocky movie and it has a very special place in my heart. My dad who passed away at the beginning of the year took me to see it in theaters and it inspired the hell out of me to the point that I wanted to get into boxing (which my mother wouldn’t allow). It definitely resonates with me more 17 years later, feeling like the best is behind me but like Rocky said, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

[@joeconcepts5552]

It really helps this movie that Dixon is not really a villain at all. In fact, it’s not his fault that he doesn’t have any major competition. Over the years there have been times where champs were questioned by experts because their era didn’t have big fighters to rival them, so it’s not unheard of.

[@proosee]

My favs from series were always first part and this one. Adrian's death is actually really important in the story - this was the hardest punch Rocky could possibly take from life and it took him years, but he still got up and kept on fighting.

[@thebigbop5866]

Mary, I hope you watch the Creed movies after, you'll love them

[@LightsCameraJake]

She just uploaded the fist one on patreon so it will be on KZbin relatively soon id imagine so be on the lookout xD

[@CaptainFirefred]

It's a perfect circle, right back to the setup of the first movie with some changes that come with 30+years of story.

[@Nigelb22]

I forgot about this one I have to watch this one again

[@musicevolution6549]

Stallone said Adrian dying and not being there was the only way he could see Rocky stepping back into the ring. If Adrian was there by Rockys side he would have been content growing old and there would have been no reason to feel the need to step back in the ring.

[@davidmeloche3563]

They filmed both Rocky winning and losing. I'm not sure how they chose which...probably because this one (Losing) is more believable but still sent Rocky out as a champion.

[@Silver5021]

I’m glad you competed the Rocky saga & now to continue to the Creed Saga. You will feel the emotions in the next Crees movies. Seeing Adrian’s off screen I think was meant to be. Also the actress and Sylvester Stallone both agreed to it saying she and Sylvester Stallone decided that it would be best if Rocky had a longing and loss as a widower.

[@tyrone7635]

The reaction to Paulie's deleted scene it's so touching

[@Nooneimportant1977]

You have to look at it in context of how Much time was between 5 and 6. The off screen death wasn’t as jarring because in real life so much time passed between us watching the films. You only feel this way because you are binging them. I thought the death gave it another added level of depth.

[@baronvg]

I think I speak for all Rocky fans when I say that we were all devastated at the start of this movie with the revelation of Adrian’s passing. It’s still such a good movie, though. Sure, I found all the Lil Marie scenes to be very sweet but also very awkward because yeah, we miss Adrian! Anyway, it’s still such a good send off for the Rocky character with good life lessons and words of wisdom and the great bookends of the same defying all odds to go the distance of the first and last films.

[@blanewalker5512]

I sure as hell wasn't devasted and she lucky she got dealt with 🔫

[@the_vig_4427]

Adrian isn't in this film because Talia Shire, the actress that plays Adrian, didn't want to come back. So, blame her :p

[@alanhilton7336caradventure]

This movie hit me on a personal note as a middle aged guy i grew up watching the rocky films and a lot of what rocky says is so inspirational this film in particular made me realize the older i get the more i have to leave behind.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Seriously Mary, please watch Sylvester Stallone again in First Blood 🙏.

[@blanewalker5512]

Hell nah, that movie goofy

[@alexp601]

Not being happy that someone has died is pretty much how death works.

great reaction! Love this film and rocky 5 as well. Gets a lot of hate that really isn’t deserved. Looking forward to your Creed reaction!

There was so many things I wanted to do to provide for my mom and time took her away from me ::wanted to give her everything she deserved and she passed away..this movie gets me after so many years now I feel his pain …when he tells Pauli there is a beast in him sometimes I feel like him
