Drago Goes Down | ROCKY IV 

watching this during the cold war was an experience, will never forget the theatre reaction when he knocked out drago, the entire place was cheering and some even stood up, and this was in canada...

Mike Tyson: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Rocky Balboa: "Hold my pet turtle."

No punches were blocked that day.

Rocky always did a great job of absorbing all the damage with his face

Rocky went and punched down the Berlin Wall once he finished this fight. True story

Man, this clip never gets old!

My personal favorite of all the Rocky movies! The nostalgia is strong with this one!

Dolph Lundgren was a super super fit man back in his day... a genuine Kyokushin fighter that could fight like a thrashing machine.

I love the way he defends himself with his head. He maneuvers his head very skillfully onto the oncoming punches.

0:53 Rubbing his head like a magic lamp just kills me!😆

When you realize Rocky had to knock out all his opponents. Because it was no way he was winning on points!😂

Rocky using his head to block the punches 😅👍

“And the millions will be chanting his name” ~ The Rock ~

His inner Rambo was activated 😂😂

"A stiff jab". That is an understatement if ever there was one.

All the people dragging this and other Rocky movies don't get it. Sure, they're far from cinematic art, and sure, we know these fights are totally unrealistic. But the rest of us out there can check our disbelief at the door and enjoy these movies for what they are. Which is popcorn movies, and sometimes only a popcorn movie will scratch that certain itch for such most moviegoers have. Stallone is great at making these movies and at their best, they're a rousing good time. Works for me!

Nobody on this green earth could take punishent like that and live! Only in the movies!

Can you imagine watching a fight like this nowadays where both fighters just go for it

Roman Empire versus a Russian Dynasty. Short versus tall. Meat wave battle. Nobody dies so Rocky prevails!

think stallone has reached absolute legend status with all the characters he has played out in hollywood, really quite something. i cannot think of anyone with such a strong place as him......

I watch these Clips every time I workout at home

"ROCKY BALBOA HAS SHOCKED THE WORLD."

Maybe they should have told Rocky he’s allowed to hit him back 😂

These two would be corpses with that many direct hits.

I love this scene man

Two types of pain. That which breaks you and that which makes you. This was the first time in Dragos life he tasted a different type of pain, and it broke him.

I remember after this movie putting on my winter gear and running across the Athletic field in 3 feet of snow, I was so exhausted but so motivated! This brought back good memories

Drago's mistake - he kept going for the head. Nothing to hurt there.

Il a tellement travaillé ROCKY 🥊 et drago va s'allonger

He underestimated Rocky. Rocky is used to going 15 rounds because he's done it twice before. He's also used to fighting taller and heavier opponents too.

Feels even better these days.

Great film 📽

Drago with all the advantage could not beat the force of nature that is Rocky

Have to say those punches sounded like they hurt.

This is no doubt my #1 of the Rocky series

Nothing is impossible , if you believe.in yourself, never quit. This is how, I live my life

Get em Rock!

I love how rocky almost gets killed before he unloads his furry.

long before multiplex theaters when they’d cram a thousand people in one place…i remember the place going nuts when ROCKY finished DRAGO

Lundgren's 1-2 looks vicious

I've seen all the rocky movies but the scene where he cuts Drago for the first time in Rocky 4 is my favorite because it shows that no amount of steroids can change anything

Back before blocking punches was a thing

Super great ending and way to go! HIP,HIP HURRAY for the USA'S very own best - Balboa.❤

This was one of the great moments in movie history. My man pulled a car thru snow, creed died, this was real to us

He is good actor 👍

O Stallone quase morria nesse filme. Dolph Lundgren acertou-lhe com tanta força, que pôs o Sylvester Stallone mais de uma semana no hospital, com o coração inchado. 🤔🧐🙄😕

The boxing scenes in these movies are almost parodies.

Two highly intelligent men. Incredible talent!

Vladimir Putin watches this movie every night before bed

Mike Tyson likes to say that "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Well...what if getting punched in the face is actually part of the plan? Throughout the series, Rocky endures superhuman beatings until his opponents become tired and complacent. Then, he strikes, and the opponents have little to nothing left.

During filming Stallone asked lungarten to hit him once for real he did the hospital thought he was hit by a truck.

Goes to show you can win any fight if you are also the author of the screenplay

Watched this movie, more than 60 times...

Never understood why rocky never ducked lol he was a punching bag more Than an athlete

If he lies, he lies.

Rocky's streetfighting skills coming to the fore...... didn't drago know rocky fought a slugger named clobber Lang and wrestled with thunderlips. And went 30 rounds with the master of disaster

Legendary

Any one of those punches would knock out the entire heavyweight division 😂

1:52 the partner everyone needs in their corner!

In no way, shape or form resembles actual boxing but still a load of fun

GO on Rock!!

1:47 ahhhhhhh!!!!

Frazier's down! Frazier's down!......... oh, wait, that was another fight.

You watch this clip and then go back and watch a Tyson fight back when he was in his prime. If a boxer took as many of Tyson's punches like Rocky took punches, he would have been dead in the first round.

Earlier in the film they show Dragos incredible power, I struggle to understand how Rocky could take more than 5 punches to the head at the start of the fight 😂

I never saw so many gulag workers cheering so loud

Melhor luta da franquia. Bloquear socos é para os fracos.

リアルならドラゴの勝ち！しかし映画なので、ロッキー(主人公)の見せ場を作った傑作です。

Why are their hands at their sides? You'd think they'd put their hands up to protect their heads, like, i dunno, actual boxers

I guess this is where Atom vs Zeus fight of Real Steel movie comes from. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Just like real boxing…

Both fought with hands down

Defense, head movement, and keeping your hands up was not a thing on this day🤦‍♂️

One of the best moments in cinematic history.

This reminds me not a little bit of the Fast Show's long big punch up sketch.. mercifully a little briefer than this.

Taking down the giants

Los renglones de Dios ✨🙏🏽

Love R🥊 ❤

The commentators ragging on this fight's realism arent taking into account several factors. First of all, Rocky in the movies is almost never depicted as being any more skilled than or even as skilled as his best opponents. His biggest fights he wins through an iron jaw, by taking his opponent's best shots on the chin and then getting in their head when those shots have seemingly no effect. Put yourself in the position of an undefeated juggernaut who hits like a freight train, who has seriously injured or even killed opponents with his punches...and suddenly you find yourself fighting someone who seems to be taking the best you have and laughing at it. Add to the the psychological pressure of knowing what could happen to you if you fail (Cold War era USSR), and it isnt hard to see where Ivan Drago could easily forget all about his technique once he gets desperate and just try to flatten Rocky with sheer force. He's always been strong enough to do precisely that with every other opponent he's faced, so when exhausted and with Rocky in his head, he reverts to what has always done the job in the past. Also remember that neither one of these fighters is where they are in their universe because of particular boxing skill; Rocky is the US champion because his chin is tough enough to serve as his primary defense, and Drago is the USSR champ thanks to his absurd power. He'd never been pushed to his limit before Rocky. The fact that their fight devolves to a slugfest devoid of all technique makes sense from the standpoint thay neither boxer is really all that skilled compared with someone like Apollo Creed, who lost to Rocky only when Rocky got in his head and lost to Drago because he severly underestimated Drago's power and figured he'd be a pushover. By the time he realized his mistake it was too late. Point being, the fight turning into a brawl isn't really surprising given that both fighters are more or less brawlers rather than boxers. They have some skill, but their skill isn't usually the deciding factor in their fights.

Funny watching this compared to today's boxing...the ref stops halfway through on alot of situations

Of all the Rocky movies this is the one I couldn't buy into. No way on God's green earth Rocky could've beaten this guy.

Dolf Lungarn 💪

Yes. OK. Super. Fantastic. Gratulacion...... OK. Viva Sylvester Stallone: Rocky Balboa and John Rambo 1946. July 06. Age: 77.-78. USA: United States of America: Washington D.C. Actor and Fighter and Box Man and Sport Man and Vommedical USA 1946.-2024......😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Man I feel like getting outa my chair!! Meh nah

Unreal

Rocky and his infamous block, using his face. Typical Hollywood theatrics !

So true

This led to Drago's wife leaving him and their son. 😮

O bem sempre vence

These two were made of wood. You can hear it.

Yup. Cause pro boxers never keep their hands up. They just trade open blows until one of them is brain dead.

Tyson fury didn't only box but used his brain to wear deontay wilder down to clever for deontay wilder

Rocky goies AAARGH

He had serious memory problems between III and IV.

In truth, that arena would've been as quiet as an empty church. Every Soviet citizen would be paranoid that the KGB would be watching - Billy Joel demanded the house lights be down at the shows he played in Russia because every time they came up his audience went quiet and stoic for fear of being identified as "enjoying Western music."

Anyone who's ever boxed for real, even as an amatrur will recognise this clip as complete, embarrassing nonsense and an insult to those who've had the courage to climb into a ring. MAN, MAN OH MAN, SUCH A YARN.

He out witted him did tyson fury

Clever boxer tyson fury

Apparently defense wasn't invented until 1992...

The squared circle is the altar of eternal war.
