Rocky III (3/13) Movie CLIP - A Wreckin' Machine (1982) HD

[@SnowyWolborg]

Once you're at the top and you've been there for a while, you lose hunger and you get comfortable. That applies to so many things in life.

[@3912James]

SnowyWolborg Yeah Buster Douglas is an excellent example. Defeated Mike Tyson out of desire and intestinal fortitude....only to lose fairly easily to Holyfield both in the year 1990.

[@PreacherTHC]

You're absolutely right however I'm not sure if this applies in Rocky's case because his manager and trainer Mickey had been rigging every single fight since Creed so that Rocky could fight a has-been and not get hurt as Mickey was so afraid of when he took a beating from Creed. And while yes Rocky definitely got caught up in his hubris it was a false humorous because he was beating Fighters far below his rank. However Rocky himself did not know this he thought he was fighting The Best of the Best. It seems as though as though his manager Mickey was actually keeping Rocky back out of fear of Rocky being hurt and so I can't really place blame on Rocky as though it's his fault for becoming cocky although he certainly did however truthfully had he went through 10 fights at the rank of the fight he did with Apollo Creed he would be a different Rocky and maybe Mickey would be right he might not even be alive

The thing is, he has the fight with Clubber then the fight with Drago. Both guys were killers like Mick said, and Rocky proceeds to get brain damage and lose all of his wealth. Mick had it pegged perfectly. He got Rocky the belt, wealth, and kept him safe and healthy for a lifetime going forward. Instead, Rocky took pride and lost everything as a result.

Burgess Meredith nailed this role, one of his best, powerful, and a very different type of character from the meek characters he played in several Twilight zone episodes.

in creed 2, Adonis came to Rocky telling him he wants to fight Viktor Drago. Rocky told him "You have everything to lose, he has nothing to lose.

I always had a hard time calling this handpicking. Mickey was picking excellent fighters, he was just making sure that they weren’t psychopaths. Mickey knew that Apollo really wanted to hurt Rocky, he also knew that Rocky would end up permanently disabled if he kept fighting guys who wanted to hurt Rocky to the point of ending his career. Mickey was choosing fighters that wouldn’t purposefully hurt Rocky.

@@sha11235That’s why I never considered it handpicking. I just seen it as Mickey choosing fighters based off of their personality. Apollo really wanted to hurt Rocky and end his career.

Mick just stuck around with Rocky, because he knew he was the only one that would be able to keep Rocky safe.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The parallels of the Rocky movies to Stallone's real life rise and fall and rise again are amazing. Rocky, he's a nobody who gets a shot of a lifetime that changes everything. Rocky II, he's out to prove the amazing success was not a fluke. Rocky III, the trappings of success and fame literally start to change him. Hell, even Sly's physical appearance is different. Rocky IV is just excess, with all pretense of the underdog heart of the original replaced with a big expensive blockbuster look and feel. Rocky V is the fall from grace. Sly had made flops like Over The Top and Tango and Cash and went back to the well once too often in an artificial attempt to put the heart back in a dying franchise. Then you get Rocky Balboa, a movie that is everything Rocky V should've been. Plus time dulls perceptions and people love a great comeback. Creed and Creed II are Sly as the older, wiser sage that no longer has to be the lead guy but we all know and love his presence. What an enduring legacy to have left.

It could have been a way better, way deeper film with just a few changes, although that would have meant a whole bunch of editing to try and get the pacing right and y'know, it's never as simple as just inserting extra scenes. As far as I know, they had many of the scenes that I'm talking about though, that could have made it better, they had been acted out and filmed. These were things like more backstory on Clubber, him being jealous of Balboa's popularity despite not putting in the same effort. The movie was TRYING to tell the viewer this was what was happening but that final piece of the puzzle wasn't there. Clubber had no trainers in camp with him which was silly. Clubber would have felt as a black man that he was being held back and since Balboa was training in a gym with almost entirely african americans, this SHOULD have caused some sort of friction or tension in his gym, perhaps some questioning why the hell Creed was training this guy, but it was only ever hinted at very, very lightly. To the point where if you claim to see the hint, you can easily and understandably be accused of making it up. This stuff should have been made more clear. It's stuff which could have replaced some of the training montage stuff, or simply added in some other way, but as already said before, it's never quite as simple is just adding in a scene or replacing one scene with another. There's a lot to consider when inserting scenes. Great film, though. Rocky has always been great value.

[@BusaLova]

It's a shame the Micky character was killed off. If he thought Clubber was a killer, what'd he say about Drago? Don't even bother, this guy is not a man he's a freak of nature?

[@russelltech7691]

Basically he's saying he'll wax the floor with you Rock.👍

[@1madinjun]

Apollos coach told Apollo basically the same thing before the 2nd fight with Rocky

[@jrayner21679]

That line “HE’LL KNOCK YA INTO TOMORROW ROCK” is such a great line. I wouldn’t mind this is how boxing is today promoters and trainers worry about their fighters going up against guys that are too hungry. The way they captured it all like Rocky being all civilized and Kluber being all ghetto is on the money.

[@battlememesbyomari25]

You mean you want boxers to duck the good competition?? Clubber Lang EARNED his shot at the title and Mickey was ducking him. That’s the problem with boxing today, too much ducking

[@Adino1]

"That is what you should have done, retire" Man, if Mick only knew the long history Rocky had infront of him.

[@atanasiosmith6408]

Rocky really COULDN'T get angry with Mickey's opinion on Clubber Lang, he knew that Mick loved him by telling the TRUTH about how Rocky lost his EDGE as a HUNGRY FIGHTER. 👊👊👊

[@vegetasolo1221]

I wanna see Clubber Lang take on Apollo Creed ;)

[@Demarini71691]

Creed woulda killed him.

[@europeanpizza7444]

+Demarini71691 I think a prime Creed would beat Clubber.

[@NotShowingOff]

Lang vs drago

[@joel8583]

Definitely no contest. Apollo expressed fear when Clubber told him to stay out of his face.

[@scottdavidson7001]

Demarini71691 yup

[@PeekaBooo24]

The ironic thing is that Rocky ended up taking the same stance as Micky did when Adonis wanted to fight Drago’s son for the first time.

[@TheTurnipKing]

of course. That's the job. Same as Mickey. Same as Duke and Apollo.

[@Frenki94]

This applies to a lot of UFC and Boxing Champions today.

[@1981TURBOTRANSAM1]

Burgess Meredith is a great actor. Very underrated.

[@jax8740]

“You got civilized” someone needs to tell that to Ronda

[@PapunaOfficial]

mayweather civilized but got away with it lol

[@sanddune]

@@PapunaOfficial Because he handpicks opponents

[@PapunaOfficial]

@@sanddune who exacly could defeat him but had no title shot

[@gzz8551]

In the all of the 3 movies these two appeared together they always have a scene where they go crazy at each other and then fall in again. Feels like a real relationship between student and master. Excellent.

[@jayscribe7547]

“He’ll knock ya to t’morrow, Rock!”

[@DreMurf313]

Mickey dropping those jewels of knowledge to Rocky

[@ge585]

Mickey would have died in Rocky 4 once he sees Drago

[@joewhitehead3]

He woulda never let Rock anywhere near Drago

[@charon7347]

the first three of these movies are legendary

[@wilmermendez1002]

Wish I had someone like Mick coaching me through life in my younger years

[@jermaineparks8455]

My favorite classic,,, RIP,,, Mick forever lives on......

[@davidbrock8218]

If Mickey thought Clubber was a wrecking machine, I would’ve like to have known what he thought of Drago

[@marcusmajors6196]

Only someone who loves u will give u the cold hard facts

[@willthetrill4849]

Everything Mickey said to Rocky is exactly what happened to Apollo in the next movie. it cost him his life

[@battlememesbyomari25]

Not true at all. Apollo was a true champ and took his training seriously. Not only was Apollo way out of his prime but Drago was a juiced up wrecking machine. He woulda lost regardless

[@ezanamelekot6796]

​​@@battlememesbyomari25Apollo didn't take the fight too seriously in the beginning plus he was so stubborn to cost him with his life.

[@legitbeans9078]

Such a great actor. Wow. What a scene ♥️

[@TheGreatestPlayerInTheWorld]

He'l knock you in to tommorow rock! What a line😍😍😏

[@kristiantogunawan2546]

I really need this kind of mentor in my life

[@artisticwhispersasmr9873]

One of the all time great scenes.

[@mohammeda_lzubaidi6537]

The best coach in the world rest in peace Will stay in the heart❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

Rocky is with the old funny Pingouin. It's funny then Mickey dont have a umbrella with him, he can send a hell of a smoke to Rocky to sleep

[@t9j6c6j51]

When Sly was at his absolute peak.

[@veeseee128]

This difference between Clubber and the other boxers is Clubber is a THUG. He is vicious and brutal. Mickey knew this and saw him brutally fight his way to be the top contender. Mickey knew Rocky in his soft wealthy state had no chance of beating a hungry from the ghetto brute Like Clubber Lang. Rocky lost his eye of the Tiger so to speak. 0:00

“That was easy!!”

[@taybyat]

keith green they was hand picked

[@brendanforester4601]

Tiggy-Tay Unlimited Set-ups?

[@taybyat]

Brenda Forster NAH, THEY WEREN’T SETUPS. THEY WAS GOOD FIGHTERS, BUT THEY WASN’T KILLERS LIKE THIS GUY! HE’LL KNOCK YA TO TOMORROW, ROCK!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@brendanforester4601]

Tiggy-Tay Unlimited ...Geez, Mick. Why'd you do it?

[@taybyat]

Brenda Forster because the beating that you got from Apollo should’ve killed you kid. It didn’t. It was my job to keep you winning and to keep you healthy.

[@conrradotorres4653]

This scene was the reason why I told everyone that Khabib was going to ragdoll McGregor in 2016. McGregor had the easy route to become a fake champion and multi millionaire for fighting Mayweather. The moment someone like Khabib who actually ran through the entire division. He actually earned his way to become number 1 contender and was still undefeated. Khabib was actually hungry and was on different levels than McGregor

[@ambermedellin9891]

The old man was a motor mouth.

[@tomwilkes7842]

One of the best scenes from the entire series of Rocky films
