Burgess Meredith - A "Rocky" Memorial 

Welch's Grape

Wouldnt make a difference to him now.

U don't need a Oscar to prove your a good actor. One of the greatest actors of all time refused his because it's all bs. Marlon brando

Rocky should have Won 5🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Academy Awards..... 1. Best Picture ✔🏆 2. Best Actor ❓ 3. Best Supporting Actor ❓ 4. Best Music Score ❓ 5. Best Cinematography ❓ Dumb Asses...

He got screwed just like Stallone did that year. Both should have walked away with Oscars for best Actor and Supporting.

Great idea!

Call it “Mickey”

No

Not gonna lie, I’d love that but at the same time I don’t really want it to happen. The reason being is because I feel like they won’t be able to get an actor who can fit perfectly as Burgess Meredith did for Mickey Goldmill.

@@Granticus It would definitely be a tough role to cast but it's not impossible. You'd need a bantamweight size guy that's athletically built and has a tough, street smart persona. I'm sure there's a good, young actor out there that could pull it off.

Yep

Exactly!

Facts because life is tough

@@ramond8904 And life will beat you to your knees if you let it!!

Well, one could say boxing is about life, but let's be technical, everything in life is about life.

Or a mentor like Mickey

And Apollo

Amen brother

And grumpy old men

Amen

Jackie Draper into Jackie Paper

He plays this camp fella in an Oliver reed film that came out a few years before Rocky and is completely different to Mickey,he's that good as Micky that you think he must be a bit like that in real life,but he's not,just a great actor.

He was one of the best actors this country ever produced. Sadly, he was blacklisted when he refused to name names. He made almost no movies again until the 1970s, due to this. He could only get tv and stage roles. Hence, the Twilight and Penguin roles. But his presence on the stage was amazing. He was one of Broadway’s most respected stars and one of its best.

idk sounds like a meme of sorts to me i can't help but laugh a little

Me too. Especially if you watch the whole scene.

@Todd Pruett yeah and the anime pfp

i felt it aswel were all fighters until the end Rocco done good with the creed coming in.what was it i said to the kid keep moving forward.yhats how wining is done.great.words like the 300 spartans.love ya Rocky.

Same here

Paulie too

@@jasonm921 and Adrian in rocky 1 and 2 has a great ark from a shy person to a supportive strong wife

Don't forget Duke.

Don't forget Cuff and Link, Rocky's turtles

Don't forget Butkus

Now that's super cool. He lost alot of work in his prime because he didn't wanna go over in WW2. He didn't wanna kill it was Batman that brought him back to acting.

He was The O.G. "G.I.-Joe"...

Thank you for your service

Makes the Bob Hope joke even funnier.

I love this❤ thank you for sharing and protecting our freedoms

American Warhorse that’s a fact.

well said

As good as Mickey was, the movie works as an ensemble cast. Every character is integral to making this film work. You can't take out any character in this film. Pauley is comic relief, Gazzo is there to remind us Rocky had a heart and didnt really want to hurt anybody, Apollo steals every scene he is in, and so forth. One of the best character driven movies of all time....

He reminds me of my grandpa he wld always worry and make sure everyone was ok and taken care of everyone else making sure they were ok also why working and providing for others and no matter how hard it got he wld always find a way and it time took it's toll on him but he never wavered not evn fr a second even up to the point where he had to be confined to a bed cause he cldn't even get up anymore cause he was just so worn down he was a good father,grandfather,and friend to everyone along with being one of the best men i have ever known in my life Amen

Its so sad when rocky has just lost to clubber his final words with Mick before he passes away. Mick made a much better manager than any for rocky, but of course creed training rocky really improved rocky s power stamina and speed. Clubber definitely seemed like a bad guy, with what he said to Adrian at the unveiling of Rocky's statue, then have the cheek to say Apollo creed , that old fool, when for a rematch with Rocky. Apollo comes across as the most knowledgeable and best fighter to Start with. After creed becomes friends with rocky, he's much more likeable. I keep thinking Apollo against the opponents in creed 1 and 2. Apollo would easily beat that first opponent his goes against at the end. And even with quite a struggle beat dragos son. I presume most people won't like the Russian opponents as they come across as bad guys in this film.

Goldmill

Think of it as an angel.. An angel that whispers in your ear GET UP YOU SONOFABITCH!

Now hit that bag! Jab it til it hurts! Go ahead!

The kind of stuff my grandfather would say

Omg i laughed so hard when he said that 😂😂😂😂

3 months? Nobody has commented for 3 months? Can we get back to commenting please!? Yes, that would be nice. Now start commenting again until your fingers hurts!

Woman weaken legs

His last words were I love you kid, I Love you then he said it hurts me before he died from massive heart attack

Not really...

@@joshuadouglas7625

Mickie but its ok we lo your comment

What about Adrian

He steals the show in rocky 2 when apollo says he won micky says “I don’t care what the judges think rocky won”

Not really good ye

Ho have seen all the film's eh

The obsolete man was amazing. Even though it was a 30 minute episode Burgess made every second he was on count.

Mr. Meredith was the real deal.

I will do the same as soon as i got kids and they are ready for it. Cause i am. Keep up the true lessons and the heartbeats.

Lolo Sims your opinion or perhaps not. I actually love 5 for a lot of reasons. 4 for me is the strangest one to me.

Lolo Sims oh you’re a kid. actually some huge morals in 5 you might have missed but good on you for watching the rocky series. The rocky movies become timeless and even more meaningful when you get older. I can’t wait to show my new born the series when he is older.

I'm doing that this week with my two sons! They're 11 and 9. It already got them with some of the life lessons. We're still on Rocky 2 😊. They asked so many great questions from the movies, and we're planning to watch the 3rd one this weekend.

@@DaMoose man that is so exciting. My boy is 9 months today and inching closer and closer to the great days ahead when we watch the series together.

Every moment filled with emotion

That smile made me laugh too.

Bob Hope would....God I love Rocky movies.

I missed that. That really was an awesome little moment between rock and mick. Good catch

I concurr. Oh wait. Wrong movie

Thank you for your post. I have tears streaming down my face. I remember everyone of these films. Young and strong, now I feel like Mick.

The same :(

Totally get it.

Keep staying strong

Keep it up. I miss my dear grandpa too. They live in our heart and trough our actions. 💚🌱⭐

Heartfelt...

Reference to Rocky III. Ahh Impressive.

Hahahaha lmao his lines were so hilarious

Tell dumb ass Wilder!!!

They help with timing.

@@gordonferrar7782 How so?

They make you mean and tough for the ring....if you were ever married you know what I mean....

@@sethkimmel7312 Are you married now? If that is all you have received from the relationship, it is sad.

Brown Cow Well He had me amped up for DELTA FORCE.

Would you believe that around ten years ago Hollywood executives were pushing for the Rocky franchise to be rebooted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@silvervalleystudios2486 that would have been an epic Disaster beyond repair! 😳
