ROCKY V (1990) | BOSS MOVIE REACTIONS | Better than expected!!

[@bn9632]

You are, hands down, the best movie reaction channel on KZbin. 100% enjoyable! I hope you don’t stop after Balboa (Rocky 6). Please, please go right into the Creed movies! Even though Stallone didn’t write them, they are a direct extension of the Rocky series. I’m looking forward to your reactions to those as well. I’ve seen the Rocky movies dozens of times and your insights have allowed me to understand things I never thought of! I was someone that was very disappointed in Rocky 5 UNTIL you explained it all to me. Now, I see it through your eyes and I can be happy about it. Thanks, so much. You guys are awesome!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Hello BN, thank you so much for your encouraging words. We really appreciate it! I'm so happy to hear that I was able to give you some new perspective on Rocky V. Yes, we'll do Creed 1 and Creed 2 for sure, and then we'll debate about Creed 3. I saw that Stallone was involved (writing/producing) in the first two. Anyway, thanks again for your kind words. Stay tuned for Rocky Balboa tomorrow! Cheers! (:

[@adampare8088]

@@BossMovieReactions May I ask, do you both read our replies? Because Rocky Balboa has a reply I'll put out that applies to both of you. Slightly long, but true story you may not know.

Woo Hoo! Balboa tomorrow! I’ll be there with bells on!

@@adampare8088 I read the majority of the comments (Mike), but if there's something pertaining to Jessica, I'll involve her! I'm sure I've read and responded to your earlier comment since I have responded to every single comment since the beginning of this channel. Cheers! (:

The Mickey flashback in the gym alone sells this film. It gets slated a LOT, but Adrian's speech about "all those fighters you've beat, you've beat them with HEART!" gets me every time!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, some great scenes and some great lines!! (:

[@johnrawlings6610]

[@Ghizmo78]

That Micky scene is Cus Damaris words to Mike Tyson. Check it out.

[@Blandina11]

@@Ghizmo78 yup, Cus D'Amato gave Tyson a lot of great advices

[@SJ-ty5rw]

@@Ghizmo78 Yes ! and in a way Stallone gets too much credit for the Mickey quotes . He simply stole quotes from Cus D'amato . Also the one where he's telling Tommy that fear is like a fire ... another quote he stole from Cus

[@patinho5589]

That agent is based on Don King, the guy who took control of Mike Tyson’s career once Tyson’s mentor died.

[@BossMovieReactions]

I'm not surprised to hear that! Thx! (:

[@megamanxhunter]

Don King wasn't just promoting Tyson. He promoted some of the most prominent fighters of all time, like Ali, Holmes, Frazier, etc. He promoted the 2 most famous boxing events of all time, "The Rumble in the Jungle" and "Thrilla in Manila".

[@wonder777warrior6]

​@megamanxhunter ya and he stole a lot of money.

[@megamanxhunter]

@@wonder777warrior6 Obviously. He stole money from every boxer he ever promoted.

[@SJHD]

I think this film is criminally underrated, that flashback with Mick (cried my eyes out), Adrians speeches are still amazing and when Rocky is watching Tommy fight for the title and hitting the bag too, like he is in there instead. It's very emotional, yes a little cringe in moments, but still very good.

[@BossMovieReactions]

100%. I mentioned all that in my "Afterthoughts" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHawZXygrbd0as0si=ERMnA9oiLuXGCit6

[@tentoesdownchristianity]

I absolutely love the speech that Mick gives it might be the best speech in all of the movies put together. Also Tommy Gunn is played by Tommy Morrison who has one of the most tragic stories in sports history. If only he could have controlled himself better his life could of been much different.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, Mickey's speech was great, and Tommy's life was a tragedy. /-:

[@TayannaStudios]

Stallone IS underrated as an actor. The guy's phenomenal. I don't see Stallone, I see Rocky Balboa.

[@Jon-o1q7z]

That speech he gave at the end of the first Rambo movie was so good just that alone makes him a good actor

[@BossMovieReactions]

Agreed! Stallone is awesome! (:

[@Matty-fl2tu]

I agree, not just actor but also writer and producer, whilst still finding the time to keep in amazing physical shape and be a family man, the guys a legend 😃

So happy you gave part V a chance. A franchise as big as Rocky should be watched in its entirety. Including Creed 1-3 right after. Great Reaction as always thank you

The Rocky movies have aged well. They still make a lot of sense today. Rocky V was never my favorite, but now I think it makes sense and was necessary. Love your react! Greetings from Brazil!

Rocky V is a great storyline. I think we were just conditioned to have him fight in the ring.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Exactly! I'm talking about that in my "Afterthoughts" video. (:

[@wonder777warrior6]

I think it brings in a lot of character development which is great and most people just wanted to see a spectacle and well, u can't blame them for it either especially when that's what rocky movies are made for.

Tommy "The Duke" Morrison should have a boxing biopic movie . Very sad story ! 😪

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, I saw a documentary about it. /-:

[@MarkPriest-v6u]

Yes! As good as tyson and truly a horror story of a life. Would loooove to see a film on the Great late Tommy morrison

[@ice-iu3vv]

tommy brought all of his problems upon himself. he was about 6-7 times worse in real life than he was in this movie. he was given multiple chances by the boxing commission. he refused to live a clean, decent, or honest life. it isnt a SAD story, but a disgusting one. supporters or fans of his trouble me. there are thousands of more decent people you might spend energy supporting.

[@Mustaerkki]

@@ice-iu3vv Hmm well usually the addicted people are the people who has heart.. the world is a sick place!

[@IMPULSE0101]

I love the reactions, i seen each rocky and creed more times then i can count. Its sad we lost so many. We treat rocky like a real person here in Philly. A hero that never existed but we all relate too.

I'm so glad you all didn't skip this one. Yes it's different, however, the final Rocky and the Creeds would not make as much sense without seeing R5! Can't wait for the next one!!!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, skipping R5 would have been a big mistake. R6 is coming! (:

[@ADayInPR]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but once Tommy punched Pauly, he had no choice but to defend his friend . That's the type of character he is. He's a protector

[@Jon-o1q7z]

Especially after Paulie caused him to lose everything in the beginning.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, Tommy crossed a line! (:

[@rxtsec1]

It's the beauty of who Rocky is and what's great is money had nothing to do with it. He had to deal with Tommy right then and there

[@commonwealthedison2640]

Rocky V had the misfortune to open the same weekend as the surprise cultural juggernaut Home Alone, which crushed Rocky V at the box office and started the narrative of this movie as a failure. But I saw it in the theater it’s second weekend and it was very well received by the audience. It’s a good movie!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Good to hear! I liked it as well! (:

[@shawnpatrick1877]

Rocky V might be one of the weaker entries in the series, but skipping it would be crazy. At this point, you care about the characters and want to see what they're up to and how things are developing. The movies were never just about boxing. To me, this is essential viewing to see the overall story of Rocky's life before you get to the final one. (and then move on to the Creed movies, hopefully!)

[@BossMovieReactions]

Agree with you 100%. (:

[@spoiledfish6643]

It's a critical part of Rocky's story. The flashback is one of the best scenes of the franchise.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, it is definitely a critical part, and I liked it a lot! (:

[@pariahazul8653]

I agree. I hate when people disregard this film. I agree it could’ve been written better but it was definitely a heart touching and heartwarming film. Fun fact, that beautiful speech Mickey gave in that scene was directly inspired and said verbatim by Cus D’Mato, Mike Tyson’s trainer. This film was awesome! Great reaction guys! Keep them coming! I’m looking forward to y’all reaction to 6 and the Creed films to follow

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, someone just mentioned the thing about Cus's speech. That's amazing. R6 is coming, and then probably C1 and C2. (:

[@davidpisachubbe7869]

Anyone who is invested in the character of Rocky would love this movie. It's interesting to me to see how Rocky grows from a young man to an older man over the course of these movies and to see how he responds to the challenges that life throws at him. It's all very inspiring.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, that's exactly how I see it as well! (:

[@janehollander3843]

[@gingerbreadman1969]

Hey Mike, thank you again for letting those beautiful moments of dialogue run. That memory Rocky had of Mick talking to him about someone inspiring you to live on... So touching. Shame on anyone who told you and Jess to skip this chapter of the Rocky franchise. Where else could Stallone have gone for a challenge following that super hero of a villain Drago? The challenges that face an aging fighter physically, of financial ruin and the corruption surrounding boxing.. fighting for your family. I thought the movie was perfect, and for me, totally what the doctor ordered following the glitzy suspension of belief that was Rocky 4 (though I still found plenty to enjoy there too) Looking forward to hearing your after thoughts. 😎👍

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I agree with you 100%, GBM. I even elaborate on all that in my "Afterthoughts" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHawZXygrbd0as0si=MAFu3r4AoFT_LDjU

I saw this movie in theatre with older brother and his friends, when Paulie got punched by Tommy Gunn and then rocky got up and stared Tommy down the whole theatre erupted cuz by that point everyone was sick of Tommy and wanted him to get his comeupins, then during the fight there was a problem with the film reel and the screen went dark for like ten minutes and people were losing it and swearing at the screen and when a theater usher came in the theatre and stupidly asked us if we wanted to see the rest of movie ( as if we wouldn’t be able to if we didn’t behave) someone in theatre yelled “ get your finger out of ur a*** and put the damn movie back on!” he left and then a cop came in and walked up and down the aisle with a flashlight and people quieted down and the rest of movie came back on a few minutes later, fond memories😂

[@wildonez3076]

Wow! What a great story!!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Haha, that's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing!! (:

[@victor.negron]

Good choice. Don’t ever skip anything when watching any series. The people who tell others to do that have no common sense. Every movie/episode is a part of the journey. Even the ones that some people don’t enjoy as much.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Agreed! (:

[@spikeinmadness5005]

As a kid this Rocky movie didn't interest me as much as the others but as an adult I do appreciate this one more. Now you have only BALBOA left which is a great bookend to the whole series. Rocky is the best series of movies in my opinion, not a bad one in the bunch. This trip with you guys down Rocky memory lane has really made me love Adrian so much more, she is a fantastic woman.

[@BossMovieReactions]

So happy to hear that! Just awesome! Thx! (:

[@michaeltrivette1728]

Rocky 5 is a victim of how awsome the first 4 Rocky movies were. When it released we all had “over the moon” expectations. We were all disappointed because of that but Rocky 5 is a good movie trying to live up to great movies.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I believe you are correct. More about that in my "Afterthoughts" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHawZXygrbd0as0si=MAFu3r4AoFT_LDjU

[@FilmmakerReactions]

Great reaction guys. Let me tell you, for me, number 6 is up there with number 2 and 3. It´s a fitting ending to the series, but there are rumors this won't be the last. Rocky 7 is in the works.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Just watched R6, loved it! (:

[@FilmmakerReactions]

@@BossMovieReactions awesome, guys

[@J_Rossi]

Another step into the ring with one of my favorite channels. Thank you both, and keep on punching. 🥊❤

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thank, Rossi, we'll do! (:

[@joseedurado00]

Tommy was legit a good fighter. Unfortunately, he died of AIDS.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, I saw a documentary about it! /-:

[@martincharlesworth932]

In the orginal ending Rocky dies but the movie studio made him reshoot the ending

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, I can see why... It was probably the correct decision, especially considering how many people loved R6. (:

[@caterinas1627]

Happy Saturday!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Same to you!! (:

[@sinfulkivisian20]

@BossMovieReactions what Rocky went through in this movie is called Punch Drunk syndrome. Pretty much CTE but back then it was known as Punch Drunk syndrome

[@BossMovieReactions]

Ah, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. o-:

[@danielnicola8343]

Thanks for reacting to my 2nd favorite, after 4 (altho somtimes i change ma mind and 5 is ma absolute fav. again), so thanks for leting me see the movie, through your eyes, it was a bless. The story in 5, was in ma oppinion the logical choice and for me, it fits perfect, cause we already had 4 parts, with Rocky in the ring....All the interactions in this one, between almost everyone, got me entirely. And sorry for the kinda poor english, i try to get better. Keep it up guys, allways looking forward for a new video of yours!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Hi Daniel, yes, I totally agree with you. R5 was great. I'm talking more about it in my "Afterthoughts" video. Btw, your English is great, no worries! (:

[@stevewynter4519]

Another great reaction to a film i barely watched before but i did enjoy watching it with you guy's, I still think Rocky finished with 4, I know you had Back To The Future on your list which is possibly the best FUN time travel flick ever

[@BossMovieReactions]

Oh, yeah, I can't wait for BTTF trilogy!! (:

[@joseedurado00]

I know that this is everyone’s least favorite, and even Sylvester Stallone has admitted that he had too much on his hands and did not give the attention that it was needed. I think if you look at his career, it was during the height of his fame in the late 80s and early 90s. Regardless, the story is still relevant for a lot of fighters who really don’t make a lot of money or mismanaged money so I do admire it in that respect and I think that’s what he was going for. We all like it when he’s winning, but not so much when he’s losing. I think it’s a direct reflection of fans in general, I have been following fighters for years and I would still follow them even if they had a losing streak, but you can tell that their fans go away if they’re not having the same results. The true fans will love them regardless❤ So I think, as fans of the Rocky franchise, we all feel the same way I still cry and tear up when the memory of Mick shows up ❤

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I agree with you, and I elaborate on that in my "Afterthoughts" video. (:

[@joseedurado00]

The character of George Washington Duke is based on Don King, the guy who managed Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and many others. King was known to be the man who would always leave the ring with the champ. For a long time he managed Mike Tyson and when Tyson lost to Holyfield, Holyfield became his new figher. Tyson once said that King is a vampire who lives off the blood of other people.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I instantly thought of Don King when I saw the character. Vampire is probably a good word for him! (:

[@stephenlord7316]

That’s his biological son Sage playing Rocky Jr. Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, tragic! /-:

[@geraldherrmann787]

It´s odd to hear people suggest you could skip Rocky 5. It might be not as great as other Rocky movies, but it´s still essential on the way to the wonderful Rocky 6.

[@BossMovieReactions]

YES! Agreed! (:

[@chrismichaud8204]

Not my favorite Rocky movie but definitely my favorite line from Rocky " you knocked him down, why don't you try knocking me down" it still gets me every time. That's the spirit that lives in Rockys heart

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, there's a lot to like about this one. Great scenes and great lines! (:

[@rxtsec1]

My rings outside

[@rxtsec1]

Also I love when Tommy says I want my respect and Rocky says Come & Get it

[@tomfoley6718]

Hey guys great to see you again you guys are definitely the bosses wanna be a part of the family and get ready for Rocky Balboa

[@BossMovieReactions]

Awesome! Thx! (:

[@davekemp4202]

The hardest thing a parent suffers from is their children hurt from financial problems. Rocky can live through it but never wanted it for Adrian and his son. Might be a non popular movie but this is reality to athletes that get older with no money and no team wants them anymore.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, tough stuff. I loved the movie and its storyline! (:

[@johnrawlings6610]

This was better than 3 for me! Great movie

[@BossMovieReactions]

Great movie indeed! Underrated by most! (:

Yoohoo ! Just watching along with you guys, while Im still eating mcdonalds

Hello Honza, we appreciate all your kind words. What a fantastic message, thank YOU!! And much love to the Czech Republic!! (:

[@Jon-o1q7z]

At this point I would just disown Paulie LMFAO that’s ridiculous what he did. Fantastic review as always Mike. I agree the street fight was great idea

[@BossMovieReactions]

Much appreciated!! (:

[@pearlguy6351]

Awesome I had lasik done 6 years ago I’ll tell you it’s worth it shout out to Dr. Manrique here in San Antonio Texas one of the top lasik sergeons in the US also you guys absolutely have to watch Rocky Balboa from 2006

[@BossMovieReactions]

Just watched it yesterday. Stay tuned! (:

[@guyonbench]

I waited 16 years for the next movie, and it was worth it. Cant wait for Rocky Balboa.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Haha, yeah, that's a long time to wait. Just watched R6 yesterday. Stay tuned! (:
