People always rag on Stallone and his acting but I just don't understand why. If the Rocky movies aren't a perfect representation of how well he can act, I don't know what is. In my opinion, Rocky 6 is a masterpiece.

[@GilbertCarrizales]

+Anerthony Ricci I couldn't agree more. His character is such a relatable representation of everyone's struggles. The way he looks around, the way he hunches over, the way he talks and especially the way he dresses. Just an average looking joe walking down the street with a life story to tell. To me that's better than all the action packed cheesy movies. Rocky has always been about relating to the audience and in this movie that was most apparent.

[@MrVideoman90210]

+Anthony Ricci Don't worry, FINALLY he is getting some respect. Oscar buzz for him on CREED and he already won best supporting actor from one place....

I remember watching this movie when I was going through a very very dark Time in my life, I remember crying a lot, but it was super relatable. scenes like this make me feel like I'm not alone on those days that all I can do is limp along through the hard days. at times it doesn't seem like he's acting, it's like slys projecting these real life lessons to the audience.

[@andyashton4268]

amen!

[@jackJoker89]

"I just never knew it was gonna be this hard. It wasn't supposed to be this way" Damn, those words hit me like train every goddamn time. They are so simple, yet filled with so much meaning and pain behind them.

[@SavageMexicanBoi]

"You know, sometimes hard to breathe I feel this beast inside me" I definitely can relate to these words.

[@axli3675]

"She didn't leave Paulie she died.."

[@silly36]

Agree..

[@Fresnophil]

me too

[@vaultboy123]

"It wasn't supposed to be like this y'know" It's the same thing Archie Bunker said when Edith died, adding "I was supposed to be the first one to go." Still breaks my heart, hearing that.

[@SGTBizarro]

One of the most genuine portrayals of emotion on film. Those who have experienced any kind of substantial loss or depression can relate strongly to the turmoil he's going through. Sometimes you have good or bad days, and sometimes memories and feelings hit you like a train out of nowhere and it's hard to keep it together. The intensity of Rocky's pain after Paulie mentions Adrian is palpable, an excellent performance by Stallone.

[@aureliusproximo]

I think the Razzies and the Academy has been real unfair on Stallone.

[@creepybunny255]

This entire scene, I think should go into the video "Acting for dummies". THIS is a... well I think it's one of the greatest scenes he has done. Him and Paulie (forgot actor name off top of head) Very, very well done. It's one of the times you see Paulie and Rocky connect on an emotional level and for lack of better words, this is a very powerful scene, not just for Rocky films, but in all.

[@kornmasterdan]

I feel for Rocky in this movie. He's hurt, in pain, and doesn't know how to cope. He's smart enough not to drink or anything, but being the simple guy he is, he's not sure how to handle it. Adrian was his rock, she was his coping mechanism throughout his life. That's why he wants to fight. The "stuff in the basement"is his grieve, and anger over Adrian's death and the only way he knows how to deal with those things is by fighting.

[@alanadrian5929]

[@MrN0Fac3]

F*ck, man. I can't watch these Rocky scenes without crying. It connects so well. That's why they are all great. Even though he was talking about his own (Rocky character) adversities and pain of what was lost, just the few subtle words like "You know some times it's hard to breathe" and "I just never knew it was suppose to be this hard" immediately grabs you and connects because it hits too close to home. You know exactly what he is feeling because we have all experience lost and failure and have been on the verge of defeat. It's too real and very few films do that.

[@havingfun1968]

This is still one of the most, outstanding well written pieces I've ever read here. I was a Combat Marine, NEVER cried, not even at my sisters funeral. But now, as I get older, I cry at a drop of a hat. I can't even control it. And my mother just had a massive stroke and cannot speak. They said it was so bad, she'll be lucky if she gets back 35% of her brain function. I cannot stop crying now and I cannot allow her to see me do that or I won't be strong for her. I'm only 50, and I feel like a pussy crying so much. But as I become older, it does get harder to breathe. Amen to that.

[@PatrickRes]

"You know...sometimes it's hard to breathe... I feel like there's this beast inside me" Makes me want to cry every time...breaks my damn heart. Heck of a scene.

Stallone once said of Rocky: "Every day I truly miss that character so much- I tell ya, sometimes I could just cry. Because I'll never have a voice like that again where I can just speak whatever I feel in my heart. That's the one thing I'll always cherish about that character, because if I say it, you won't believe it, but when Rocky said it, it was the truth."

It really pisses me off that he got the razzie award for worst actor of the century. Don't get me wrong he definitely wasn't great in everything, but Rocky and Rambo were not only his biggest, but his best roles. Especially rocky. He gave a great performance in these movies, the guy can act! Just look at this scene! Sly will always be one of my favourite actors no matter what.

Some off the scenes in the expendables tho and rocky 5.... Piss Poor. Don't get me wrong i love sly but he's had some off performances.

[@MsGrumpyGorilla]

joe sway He sure has, probably more bad than good actually. What im saying is that he didn't deserve the razzie for worst actor of the century *cough cough* William Shatner *cough cough* Sly was his greatest in his two flagship franchises, Rambo and Rocky. Except Rocky 5 which was misguided project.

[@acyadeadhomie]

Who cares-- fuck the razzies!!! They nominate him for everything hes ever been in! What qualifies them to give out awards? They dont put any dickhead off the street on Inside the Actors Studio.I think hes one of the greatest actors ever.How many actors have made 3 different franchises and is still goin today??

[@dondee500k]

I totally agree. It's like all the other movies were just side projects but Rocky was personal. He wrote it when he was basically homeless and held out selling it until the studio execs let him star in it.

[@allengreene9954]

dondee500k He could have done more good movies. I mean he can act. people thought that Clint Eastwood wasnt a good actor due to Dirty Harry or all the Westerns he made but when he got taken serious more is a actor/director with films like Unforgiven and Pale Rider that all went away. Stallone has misfired on a lot of movies and roles he turned down. But he's not the worst actor of all time. Honestly when he wants to act hes better then most of the so called actors of today's world. Roger Ebert said he had the chance to be The next Marlon Brando. if he would have done more serious movies. granted Rocky V was terrible but the other 5 was great. and Cop Land too.

The Rocky saga is probably one of the hard hitting movies you can watch. Just watching him go from his young and spry self to the older and nearing his end self is w scary but needed thing. You cant stay young forever but, that doesn't mean you have to lie down and let life walk over you. And then Creed shows that you have something to offer with your experiences so, use them to guide the next generation.

Rocky did everything for Paulie, yet when Rocky was down, Paulie didn't help him. I asked for help a few times when I was in my 20's and my friends let me down. Never asked for help again. I learned to do everything by myself. Put up drywall ceilings, work until 3am and get up at 6am is better than asking for help and being let down

[@Surfscoolin]

I know this feeling. You'll stop to help people and when you turn around and need something - poof - gone. It's a very rare friend that will stop and help. Keep one if you find one and always be willing to do the same. My parents always said, "Look out for yourself because you'll slow down for others, but most won't slow down for you." They were 100% correct.

[@omfpenguin2119]

Stallone really should have won an Oscar for this role, as he plays Rocky so well, so naturally, and so beautifully (hard core and rough as his character can often be, yet Rocky's inner beauty, via Stallone's acting depth and experience, really shines through). What a great and endearing performance, and what a compelling and poignant story. The Oscar that year (and last year) should have went to Stallone. He was robbed!!

Then rocky had to tell him that he had nobody to blame but himself for not achieving shit in life. I had a friend just like Paulie and some cousin's like that. Guess what, I'm glad I got rid of them.

This scene from the movie was unforgettable and very emotional. The beast that was inside Rocky was a combination of grief and anger. For him loosing Adrian was difficult because she was such a big part of who he is, her love and unconditional support gave him the strength and power to win those fights. When a loved one dies the pain is unbearable but as long as you keep them in your heart the memories will always stay alive.

[@DHeroDarkMagicianGuy]

As he put it, "We fill gaps." To lose someone who has completed you and who you are for almost thirty years? I can't begin to imagine that kind of hurt. So when he goes on to say "I didn't know it was supposed to be this hard. It wasn't supposed to be like this." I lose it every time.

[@32NinerBravo]

So many heartfelt scenes in this movie including the deleted scene with Paulie.

[@tommypetersen2540]

This is really just a great scene between two great method actors ( yes I called Sly a great actor, which he is!) Anyone who has seen Burt Young interviewed knows this is really him channeling himself. The " is it angry?" response is so HIM, Burt really talks like that, deep guy. I really feel that Burt was/is a truly underated actor. In my opinion the real love story of Rocky has always been these two, true friendship between two very different men. Paulie gives Rocky these pearls of soulful wisdom while Rocky loves Paulie because he knows there is a good man inside that alcoholic haze. Sorry to be so dramatic but that's hows I feel em!

[@cisio64123]

+Tommy Petersen I love the friendship between Rocky and Paulie too. It's been really great to see how their friendship changed and grew over the years. In the first Rocky they were two down and outs who supported each other. Then Rocky got his shot at the big time and he took his buddy with him. Even though Paulie was a drunk and went along for the ride, you didn't hate him because you always knew he did truly love Rocky as a brother and was absolutely loyal to him. Paulie was always there in Rocky's corner to help in any way he could. Paulie did soften and grow with age as this scene shows. Paulie wasn't so great with emotion in the first few Rocky films, he couldn't even stay with Adrian when she was in her coma because he couldn't handle it. This scene shows the depth Paulie had gained when Rocky laid some really heavy emotion on Paulie and Paulie listened and supported him in a very caring way.

[@gowokegobroke8058]

I love Rocky I spent my whole life growing up with this guy ❤️

[@Future_Fabulous]

I'm only 30, and I feel the analogy about the stuff in the basement in a way that I didn't think I would until I hit 60. Christ, Sly.

[@fernandezf80]

The best two movies of the Rocky series is Rocky and Rocky Balboa... The first and the last. Full of emotional moments.... both movies with great lessons. Thanks Sly.

Man I remember watching this in the theater when it came out after I had gotten back from over seas because my father had passed. And I saw it with an old female friend of mine that have never seen me cry or anything, but when this part came out and paulie says "Are you mad cause Adrian left you?" "She didn't leave paulie, she died" My heart sank Then the crying monologue happens and I just lost it.

[@fahrenheitflare2646]

This man just loves boxing the beast inside only means that he still wants to keep doing it, it’s who he is and now that he’s older he just wants to hear the world chant his name one more time to show he still got it

[@jasammon]

Is it just me or does 1:04 - 1:30 just describe depression perfectly

[@ExcLoZee]

+jasammon you're right, it really does.....

[@kirk93814]

We all have a "Rocky 6" moment in our lives.

[@ExcLoZee]

+CANUCK METAL HEAD absolutely. This movie explains a lot of our lives today

[@aidenpierce8305]

holy shit that's true.

[@martindoll5515]

Burt Young is an amazing actor and artist . Perfect man to play Paulie

[@bleep77]

Sylvester Stallone was overlooked at the 2006 Oscars for his excellent script for Rocky Balboa. This scene is also proof that with the right material that suits him, Sly can act! This is one of the best scenes in all of the Rocky movies. Rocky is all heart...

[@superdupertyson]

losing a loved one is like losing a limb. A part of you that is no longer there

[@charliecalledit7850]

the rocky genre is the leader in "action/ sports movies.There's not many series of movies where people pay for the obvious expectations that the "ROCKY " series brought to their hearts. Thank you sly for entertaining me for 40 years, your the standard for which action stars are measured by.

[@tthomaselli2]

I always get the feels in this scene... Especially when Rocky Balboa's voice cracks--yeah, it gets me.; I loved this scene, especially because it's very relatable because everyone has, as Rocky put it, "stuff in the basement."--some may have more than others.

[@moose_movies]

What breaks my heart most about this scene is seeing Rocky so defeated and heart broken, when he’s normally such a pure and optimistic personality. All he ever wanted was to live happily ever after with Adrian. But unfortunately, life can be cruel and suddenly everything can fall apart or fade away sooner than we can ever anticipate. His wife suffered and then died, then his son grew selfish and resentful and pushed him out of his life. Stallone understands this character more than anyone else and I’m glad he was able to give him proper closure with this film.

[@simplyshane6477]

This scene is rough and well delivered. Stallone came a long way acting wise.

[@fernandocacela7431]

Amazing speech scene between two great actors. Simply... splendid.

[@AnGhaeilge]

RIP Paulie.

[@kiddfreshthehatgod6606]

I feel he was the biggest asshole through the whole rocky franchise

[@pritamsutradhar7420]

Every time i see this sean, and i cant stop my Tears

[@diegoalvarado916]

Amazing fucking acting period

[@Rafaelind]

Danm Rocky, bring tears to my eyes.

[@NMFILMPRODUCTIONS]

Sometimes I think actors have that natural gift too fake tears but idk? I feel as if Stallone was actually in pain about something

[@StereoDecks]

This was the last Rocky film, it belongs to him, he is fully invested in the Rocky character Awesome films and even better story! :) :) :)

[@megssmartthinking]

Awww he is a softy, everyone thinks his horrible and mean because his strong and big his not rockys a softy and such a loving character I'm so glad Sly wrote the character the way he did, all the rockys got me into Sly and I have most of his DVDs, Sly is my inspiration and watching his films has helped me through so much. So thank you Sly and thanks for writing inspirational films, and thanks for telling kids like me never give up always believe. I love the way now he is doing adverts for itv he is just one of the best actors that has ever lived he is such a nice actor and every kid wiv a dream should look up to him. This man is a legend!!!!!

[@saadkhatib3456]

this is an Oscar winning performance! !

[@M1tjakaramazov]

"What, you haven't peaked yet??" One of the best line of the series 😂

[@dennisnelson1229]

Stallone was robbed of the Oscar for this. He should of won for Creed as well.

[@lauramaas6431]

Just watched the Rocky movies for the first time in my life. Always thought Stallone was just some random idiot, but his movies really got to me. He inspired me when I needed it the most, and I really think he is an amazing person. He has been through alot in real life, which he didn't deserve, and he actually knows how to make movies worth watching. This man has earned my respect, big time. Stallone rules!! Go Rocky!!

[@roberttookoome]

what you haven't peaked? my favourite line

[@supermanguy1214]

The very best heartfelt music in the Rocky franchise, makes me cry every time. I think we can all relate to a moment in our lives where we can hear this music playing.

[@Mmmmchocolate]

And people say Stallone can't act. Please.

[@drycreek9]

This was such a goof film. Stallone was so perfect. It was so very real. No comic book stuff like the third and fourth installations. It was the Rocky we came to know in 1976. Just a real guy from the mean streets of Philly but with a heart of gold. Rocky is probably my favorite character of all time, I just love the hell out of the guy.

[@JMHockey33]

Stallone is a genius

[@silsdetailing8978]

Rocky films have always been my favorite and for me at least had a really good sense of reality. Growing up and still living in the Philly area I can't help but wanting to watch these and listen to that Rocky them.

[@PeteRockChronicles]

Sly can def act. The end of the 1st Rambo movie was amazing. He's also got tons of gut wrenching scenes in the Rocky franchise. Ppl don't give him a chance bc he's muscular & he's got the issue with his lip/jaw (which he was born with) ... sure, he's got tons of over the top scenes to his credit, but that shouldn't hide the fact that when it comes to making real connections with ppl though his characters, the man is great.

[@francisalbert1799]

Funny thing is when Sly first came on to the scene a lot of people thought he was gonna be another DeNiro or an actor that was gonna be a great dramatic actor example lords of Flatbush, paradise alley but he wound up doing more of the action actor but the guy could still always bring a dramatic scene to a movie that could make you shed a tear

[@mikesharon3066]

Lifes like this!! When i think of the past days i get emotional
