A year before this movie came out Vince Dicola gave this song to a random trucker. He left song playing in his truck after he went into a diner. That truck became Optimus Prime
Little known fact: when Rocky/Sylvester Stallone was climbing up the mountain at the end he almost fell. He tells us about it in a documentary about Rocky.... Could you imagine if they couldn't put this movie out because he fell off the mountain. A world Without Rocky 4 is a world I wouldn't want to live in.
AkA A world without Stallone is a world that just wouldn't be the same, this World featuring a major void that would be near impossible to fill. For the Rocky series is quite possibly the greatest and most motivational piece of artistic inspiration that anyone ever conjured up and magically manifested all throughout the annals of Western film history, that's how brilliant, original, kick ass and inspirational the whole franchise is. Keep it up!!
I think people are missing the actual point of this. The "Cold War" was played out. Russia's approach was clinical to Drago's training. Drago's motivation wasn't personal, it was methodical and calculated. Rocky's was personal. It wasn't as much a comparison of scientific versus holistic training, but a reflection of the two boxer's motivations. Drago was a product, Rocky was a man. Drago lacked heart and purpose. Rocky had heart. For the younger kids this is retold in Dragon Ball Z frequently, Drago is Vegita, Rocky is Goku. Drago only had Drago to depend on in the ring, it's all he could muster, Drago was only ever going to be as strong as Drago. Rocky had his family, Apollo, and Mickey (in spirit) behind him and could draw on that. Drago wasn't just fighting Rocky, he was fighting everything that motivate Rocky as well. Watching the actual match, the fans weren't cheering for Drago, they were cheering for the product called Drago. The applause was meaningless to Drago because he knew he was a product. As the match went on that reality came crashing down on Drago and you can see the point when he snaps, when his spirit broke. Drago lost not because he was the inferior boxer, he lost because he had nothing to push him past his limits. Drago didn't fail, Drago's motivations failed while Rocky had the support Drago never did to push on. It's a simple story about what makes a man, heart. It's the ultimate story of the entire Balboa story. In the end it's heart that makes a man.
Well the 2 boxers were pretty evenly matched the reason rocky was training outside instead of in a gym was the build endurance agaisnt the elements he utilized natural body training to condition his body to the point were he was a steel wall. The element and outside training also helped with giving him more strength for his punches as well.
evan stokely To be totally honest. Dragos way of training is far better. Not to say that the overall outcome is unpossible. Often box matches are won by the one who "want's it more" nevermind the difference in strenght and stamina.
Nebojsa Mrsic Well there is a difference in what they were trying to achieve in their training as well. Rocky was training to build endurance and resistance because he knew if he wanted to win he would need to be able to withstand dragos punches. Drago was training for strength to increase his power even more of course rocky was also training to increase strength just not as much he was going for speed. A smaller person can outmatch and hit with more force then someone bigger can if he moves fast enough and his punches hit with enough speed kind of like how a bullet is smaller but travels at a higher velocity then say a arrow and hits with greater force then the arrow due to the speed. And also drago was juicing and using steroids to much well it destroyers the bodies so his training may have been more effect for the short haul but not the long haul.
evan stokely As someone who is serious in martial arts for 12y now I can say that people need to keep it real. I said it wasn't imposibble for Rocky to beat Drago.. but if you're training to win , better train like Drago. Mentality aside, in a REAL box match you're gonna do better if you're like Drago. Steroids are used widely today in every pro sports.. So yeah, that's not that big of a shock. As for your bullet,arrow speach... You don't shoot a bullet from a bow and an arrow from a pistol. Force = Mass x Acceleration. The force of the punch that Drago has (in the movie ofc) would knockout any man. But it is a MOVIE. :)
I don't think for one second that Rocky got any younger too. So age isn't a factor. Rocky got older and more powerful than ever so you might be right. Apollo didn't get a training montage as in he didn't get the insane training necessary for this opponent. Along with underestimating him...
I’m 30 and the memories I have as a kid watching every Rocky movie with my father is burned in my head. I truly love the music, the film, and everything in between.
Try the 'Sultan Training Montage' It's pretty damn good and I grew up on Rocky. Sultan is also a pretty good film too if you have an open mind. There are a few things I don't like about it but overall I really like the film and rank it up there with Rocky. Again, I grew up with the Rock- he's my hero, so that's saying quite a bit.
Damn....don't tell me this is already 30 years old! Saw this movie twice with 2 different girls. Once at the theater and once at the Drive-In. The one I took to the Drive-In turned out to be my wife a few years later!
Rocky 4 has the best trainingmontage ever and the music is so awesome . The Rockymovies inspires me to go to the gym and workout . This music and trainingmontage keeps me motivated all the time at the gym .
The final part of the training montage was a foreshadowing of how their fight would go down. Both are sprinting with Drago finally stopping while Rocky continues to fight his way to not quit in reaching his way to the top of the mountain. Victorious.
They should have these kind of scenes more in movies where there's not dialog, but just music and showing people doing stuff. Very elegant way to get the point across.
Rocky IV, no movie has ever ever ever competed with the motivation in these training sequences. Even to this day 2014 winter. Why not? It is the best for 29 YEARS!!!!
Lol jesus you have the most lamest comebacks...try again. Also, not sure if you knew, but when people are dead their skin and muscle tissue breaks down and decomposes which leaves bones behind. Thats what I meant by bony. I was not discussing your mothers weight, but since your IQ matches your age I completely understand why you missed that.
what I like about these films is that whoever Rocky's opponent is, the actor gives so much more to it than " =I was the aggressive one" or "I was the one who didn't say much."
I just watched Creed 2 and i was dissapointed!I miss all the Rocky's stuff!Music,Songs and Training,especially training!!!Sylvester Stallone was the only guy who trained and motivated everybody like noone did!Rocky never died!!!
Rocky's true power doesn't come from working out here. It comes with the bond he builds with the Russian people as they watch him training and performing various Ubermensch tasks that even wizened old black trainers can nod in approval to.
This is what I like? Good old fashioned training, training in the REAL world! in a real environment!, today's gyms suck! they're billed as 'health clubs' with equipment that simulates real movements feels like your in night club with gym equipment inside? Getting out there and training this way, you build real strength, stamina and importantly functional strength, which will actually help you. Rocky training ftw
Its not about where you work, its about how hard you work with the things given to you, but yea, I totally get where your coming from! And on a completely unrelated note, most people think that Rocky is working out in nature because no gym it stronger than nature, with I totally agree with, no gym is stronger than nature. But, that not why he is working out there, his best friend just died, he wants to be secluded, and away from all the publicity and that crap.
Gyms smell like ass and body spray, half the people there are half naked and attention whoring, and they have shitty music, so they are basically like clubs.
No dude... it even better then that.... This shows you that Rocky is soo fucking awesome that he can be more fucking Russian then a fucking Dopped up Russian
+Oats Carter The only problem is, it's impossible at least for now for anyone to believe that there would be a Chinese boxer. Chinese people simply aren't that into boxing at all.
Thats what makes the movie inspiring...the soundtrack and montages ..the script is ridiculous..who rocky is is whaf gives u goosebumps, even tho hes the worst boxer ever..terrible defense, had a hard punch and cast iron jaw..he takes beatens, would never win a fight vs probably anybody..but he is in boxing HoF...IF U CAN blv that..
I love how the woman and doctor there are like, "We don't use enhanced drugs." cut to the training montage.. first thing we see from their side, a needle being injected into his arm.
+Walrusesruleyou Yeah , I was really surprised they didn't show Drago doing some jumping machine. That made so much difference. Mike Tyson did so much rope jumping when he was young, that's how he got so fast back then.
+Walrusesruleyou Wasn't the movie over billing Drago's height anyway? Hulk Hogan was billed as near 7 foot in Rocky 3 when he's more in the 6'5 range. Drago is also depicted as 7 foot. Rocky is listed as 5'11 or 5'10 but in reality Stallone is like 5'7, lol.
I love it how unlike 2 and 3, there was no "I can't do this" half assed training until Adrian encourages him. He was 100% focused from day one even before Adrian came. Because it wasn't about him, it was for Apollo
I am getting over a clinical depression and today been lifting weights. Thanks for this! I'm not gonna scream "DRAGO!" though. I have no opponent but myself. Thanks for this life too, mum and dad.
You know, this video is better than morning coffee! There's like 10 feet of snow outside, and it's freezing as fuck. Playing this video makes me want to go outside, chop down a goddamned tree, then put on a harness and pull my car out of a snow drift!
this morning my body is hurting like crazy and I wanted to take a break from training .... then I put this amazing song.... NOW I'M GONNA FUCKING TRAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!
Marvel is a ghost of it's former self , Ever since Stan Lee stepped down and became more of a figurehead for marvel than a writer they have gone into a slow decline as they drift further and further away from the original story.
Shrestha Sagun do you seriously think teenagers give a sh*t about twilight? Most of them only read/watched it as a kid and have come to realise how shit it was.
