Damn, this version would have been amazing. And the best part is, that it doesnt negatively affect the Creed series. I love it.

Ironically Rocky V has one of my favourite scenes in the whole franchise. When Rocky goes back to Mick's Gym and has a sad flashback 😭

This redo of Rocky 5 is one of the greatest what if stories/fanfic of all time. Not only do you make the story absolutely grandiose and epic but you kept Apollo alive and you took away the pointlessly tragic elements. Flawless

Even though in my opinion Rocky V wasn’t good but not as bad as many people think, your version is way better than the actual one. Way to go. Good job.

If rocky 5 was the way u put it would have got an Oscar

Would be great if Stallone would grant permission to make Animated films based off of these fanscriptions, he would probably be all in for a better version of Rocky V

Rocky is one of the most inspiring movies ever, I even like part 5 as well

Then Rocky 5 could've turn out better 😁👌

I loved Rocky 5 as a kid and as an adult to me it had a message that went over people's head. The father and son theme went deep with me. To me it's my 2nd favorite Rocky movie.

I like the 5 year jump. It actually makes sense due to how we got Robert from the age he was in rocky 4 to 5.

The “sue me for what?” Line doesn’t really work in this version because he now is probably quite rich again after winning. Other than that, I really liked it!

Sage Stallone really delivered in Rocky V. He had to feel tremendous pressure on some level as Stallone's son playing that role in his first ever appearance in a film. Even though that film is not loved by a lot of people, he was great in it. RIP.

That piece you did for Duke was amazing.

That's how rocky 5 should been made

Rocky V was my favorite Rocky Movie anyway along with Creed 1 and 2 but that ending with Apollo and his 4 year old son being approached by Rocky and his teenage son is a beautiful ending tho.

Wow. How impressive!! What a tribute to the Rocky franchise and to the fans! I'm absolutely lost for words. I was very sceptical because you had put the bar so high with your version of Rocky4 - who could imagine you'd come with something even better? Now this has to be put into a film, either animated or something else. Stallone should grant permission - seriously.

The one addition i would make is hints of rocky opening a restersaunt after, maybe something apollo suggests, as 'somewhere old fossils like us can hang out.' And the last shot in the montage of what was? A newspaper article photo of Apollo cutting the ribbon in front of Adrian's

Dude, this is another knockout. No pun intended. Lol Apollo living to Rocky 5 would have definitely changed everything. Although you took some elements from it, I do love Rocky Balboa/6. It was such a nice return to the humble vibes from the first movie. But still, this was awesome.

I am loving your fanscriptions. I've been following you guys for eight years, and I must say, this your best work yet!

My family always loved Rocky V. We really enjoyed the family dynamic. Poor Rocky is always more fun to watch. Pauly-clause is my favorite, Yo Yo Yo!

Malcolm as George Washington Duke!?!?

What if Harry Osborn wasn't the Goblin in The Amazing Spider-Man 2? What if Harry Osborn became the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man 3? What if General Zod wasn't the main antagonist in Man of Steel? What if Jason, Zach and Trini were all in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie? What if Bebop and Rocksteady, even Casey Jones, were in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze?

I LOVE the concept art. Wish there was more in it like the first episode. Feel like it really brings these types of videos together. Keep it up! :D

Rocky V brings You Back Home, & to everyone in there lifetime before they pass in there Life. You must be ready, & to embrace it with WHO You have N Your Life, is All that Matters. Mickey talks to Rocky, & Mickey was A Father Image to Rocky. I lost my dad N Real Life due to my dad having an 8th stroke, & with Mickey being so present to Rocky, & the film was built around the Mickey's Gold Mill Gym where Rocky works to be as close to Mickey as possible. I Love Rocky V. Dad I Miss You, & Love u 4Ever. Mickey Loves, U Rocky.

Bravo, Sir. This video was just as good as the last one. Can't wait to see what you do with the Creed movies.

I love this! Excellent job! Very well done! I'm big Rocky fan and I think this would have been a better version for sure! Thank you!

If Apollo was still alive, chances are Adonis’ mother would have sued him for child support. His wife Maryann may have left him then. Also, with money from Apollo Adonis’ mother might not have died. Adonis likely would have grown up with both his biological parents, albeit living separately. He probably doesn’t get into legal trouble and doesn’t meet Damian. He may not even become a boxer, just like Rocky’s son did not.

This would have not only made Rocky V better...it would have made it on par with 2 or 3 as far as quality. I think if Stallone would have heard this concept back before he made V he would have loved it and made it just like this.

very cool.. Malcolm as duke! nice!

Adding the Creed theme during the first Adonis scene was a great touch.

I would love for you guys to continue this with Apollo in Creed the 1 and 2

Rocky 5 had issues but I liked it. Mickey motivating Rocky to get up and kick Tommy's ass is one of my all time favorite moments of the series.

I've really enjoyed these what if videos, great job! They seem like they could be Rocky movies

I like how you put this script together. This was a well written and excellent idea.

I think, the way you dialogued this video, it would be brilliant to see it in storyboard format looped in with the real life action. It's a great video but I have to admit, Rocky V is a brilliant movie because it goes back to the vulnerability and naivety of Rocks character.

I like this story line, very good! Here is my concept for Creed 3 - Creed 3 The concept - It’s been 3 years since Adonis has fought Victor Drago - Rocky has passed away from cancer - Adonis has lost his passion for boxing and is struggling with depression over the lost of Rocky - A New Heavy Weight Champion has been chosen by the US boxing committee due to Adonis failure to defend his title - Young brash Ublado “Speed” Sanchez, an American Hispanic gold medalist wants to cement his legacy as the best pound for pound fighter but needs to beat Adonis to officially be recognized as the greatest in his era - Ublado is undefeated, younger and more skilled - Adonis’s wife, Bianca, has lost her hearing completely and their challenge is how to not only communicate with each other but how to raise their 3 yr old daughter who is also deaf - Bianca lost her music deal and is struggling to find peace with her hearing lost and becoming a mother. - Adonis is stressed and struggling to understand how to be a father to a deaf child - Adonis’ mother comes to stay with the family and helps out wile giving advice and teaching moments to her son about rising a family. - Adonis trainer, Tony “Little Duke” Burton tries to rekindle Adonis’s love for fighting by taking him to one of Ublado’s title defense matches. - Ublado notices that Adonis is in the crowd and confronts him after his victory fight - Adonis ignores Ublado’s requests to fight him - Bianca noticing that Adonis’s depression has taken a toll she starts to urge him to get back in the ring - Adonis excepts Ublado’s challenge - Press conference is very much a spectacle event for Ublao - Adonis goes back to Philly (where it all started: Go back to the basics) to train - Adonis is struggling to train and temporally gives up - Rocky’s son Robert hears that Adonis is struggling and shows up in Philly to help motivate Adonis to fight. Robert gives Adonis the gold boxing glove neckless that Rocky gave him; the same neckless Micky gave to Rocky. A scene of loss and love or passing on the torch - Adonis beats Ublado in the 12 rounds by knockout Adonis: Training Scene - Back in Philly and in the old gym where he trained in Creed 1; Same training staff except Tony is now part of Adonis’s team like he was in Creed 2. - Adonis’s needs to become not only faster but quicker - Trains old school; blood sweat and tears - Final scene in the training montage; Adonis running up the rocky steps with power and honor for Rocky (highly emotional music and gritty expressions on Adonis face) Ublado: Training Scene - Upper class Olympic boxing facility - Multiple super talented sparing partners, state of the art training; Ublado is aggressive and arrogant Fight scene - Fight is in LA - Bianca and their daughter do not attend the fight until the final round - Adonis is getting plumaged by the speed and quickness of Ublado - Ublado starts to fatigue in the final round - Adonis starts to get a 2nd breath and starts winning the 12th round - The final knockout scene is similar to Rocky 2 as both Ublado and Adonis fall down - The referee starts counting - The feeling is a high pressure, heart pounding as both boxers fall to the ground - Adonis is bloody and his vision is blurred the room is spinning he’s exhausted he can’t hear the crowd chanting his name but catches a glimpse of his daughter in the crowd holding up her hands in sign language “I love you Daddy” - Adonis with all his might pulls himself up off the rope and wins! - Adonis is crying and holding his daughter along with his wife - Themes in the movie - Go back to the basics - Irony in the characters; Adonis becomes more Rocky and Ublado is more Creed - Ubalod is a cocky, condescending, pampered athletic and much more talented boxer than Adonis - Adonis is broken emotionally and struggling to find relevance as a boxer now that Rocky is gone - The Creed family’s new dynamic is how to communicate now that wife and child are deaf

WOW. . . . I'm a huge Rocky fan and you just made Rocky V better. Watched your video and loved the concept art and how it flowed with the story. Instant sub. 😎🖒🖒. Can't wait to watch your other videos.

Loved your ideas! Great work, man!

Finally another fanscription

I think that's how the movie should have went.

6. Rocky II 5. Rocky VI 4. Rocky III 3. Rocky IV 2. Rocky V 1. Rocky I genuinely love Rocky V as is

I actually dig this version of the film,I mean,I love the original no matter what other people say.. But I love this take

Such a great video. Even though I loved Rocky V as it is, I like this much better. Honestly, I would love for Stallone to allow for an animated movie based on this completely. I especially got chills with the ending where Rocky and Robert have their moment and are joined by Apollo and Adonis. Great job.

I think Robert would make a great Big Brother figure for Adonis.

*Rocky V was one of the most underrated movie ever.*

great version. i enjoyed this very much

this was very cool, i like the idea, keep up the good work

A Have A Few Suggestions For Some Future Fanscription Episodes: - What If Godfather 3 Was Good? . . . What If Newt Survived In Alien 3? . . . What If The Original Ghostbusters Crossed Over With The 2016 Ghostbusters? . . . Or Better Yet, What If Ghostbusters 3 Happened? ( taking place not long after Fanscriptions Ghostbusters 2 )

I don’t know who you are or what your background is but this is absolutely nothing short of magnificent.

Great job, really like your version

Even though much I love this and Part 1, I came here to see this after the recent news of Carl Weathers(who played Apollo Creed) had passed away. R.I.P. Carl Weathers. ♥️

great rewrite really loved to hear it and I especially loved the concept art a really great touch

I wish I could see this film ! This is AWESOME ! Granted, it is quite a bit easier to redirect the story around elements that have already been created from scratch (hindsight is 20/20) but this is simply perfect. Even the ending fight plays out beautifully. In a world with sequels and prequels, why not have alternate story arcs? This needs to be made on film in Hollywood/Philly !

Rocky 5 has grown on me 😎

I liked Rocky V a lot! Someone posted the full director’s cut on RU-vid years ago before it was removed. It was fantastic and that version should’ve been the theatrical release!

The hell with Sylvester Stallone thoughts about Rocky V!! I actually enjoyed it cause it could happen to anyone who have a high point in their life of accomplishments and then lose it all cause of a mistake and then go thru struggle after fame!! It shows people that could make desperate changes that could be bad and shows hows to get thru it! It's like real life!! The only problem with Rocky V was only when Rocky got off the plane from Russia and his son grew up like 7 years after Rocky IV when the time line was like a few months!! Lol.😅

Great video. I would totally watch that Rocky movie.

I would have LOVED this version!!

This was a great concept man, thanks. I wish it would have turned out like this!

Brilliant!! You put a lot of thought into this. I appreciate you sir!

This was actually pretty cool. I'm sure if Sylvester Stallone her seen this video so probably done it the same or agree with everything you just said. This version of the movie would be awesome. In my opinion of course.

*_it would be kinda cool ...u know_*

This is actually pretty good writing and I liked Malcolm as George Washington Duke. I don't know if you know this, but there's a directors' cut, or a work print if you will of Rocky 5 on the internet which has some more scenes that were cut out of the movie and a different street fight scene all together, and that training/fighting montage with the music from the first Rocky 4 training montage is just awesome and you can see Tommy Gunn being drawn to the dark side. It's actually 10x better that the original if you can get through the really bad video quality and the time stamp on the top of the movie. You should definitely see it. Best of luck, guys and I do hope you keep this segment going.

I would love that version of ROCKY V too. Even if Adonis is not in this party. If Rocky knows about him, the first 25 minutes of the CREED should change. Anyway, it is a really good fanscription. Thank you ;)

lucas Durham's art is really good

This dude needs Hollywood Damn listening to his version i could literally see it in my mind lmao great Narrating man lol

If anything I wish Bill Conti had an official release of this score

Much better version! Dukes son should have been included watching on in the gym during the blunt force trauma scene and at the end with Apollo and and Adonis, also would like to see Apollo’s other kids in the story line, at least mentioned, not just completely cut off. Great version though.

This was amazing!

I just listened to the discussion on this on your soundcloud. Hearing you speak about Ghostbusters 2 and how it was made more for kids totally brought me back to TMNT 2 THE SECRET OF THE OOZE. As a kid I loved that movie but didn't really notice until I was an adult how much grittier and adult themed the original one was. I'd love to see a video or just hear a discussion on the changes from the 1st one through the 3rd.

Dude you are Epic and this is Epic

Man, this is so dope! This would have transformed that movie! I will go back and watch part 1 as well. I do agree that a straight jump to Creed would work. Well done!

If the rocky 5 fight was in a ring and nothing else was changed it would have been another great rocky movie.

Rocky V is possibly my absolute favourite. A real “life story”. 👍🏻

This is amazing!

This deserves more views

Dude.......... this was a bad ass script. I absolutely loved it bro.

OMG this sounds so great!!

Holy crap! What an awesome rewrite! This movie would have been amazing easily the 3rd maybe 2nd best Rocky Movie and that’s saying a lot since the first won best picture.

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks!!! Forwarded to like a dozen people.

Just watched the whole series again and it takes me back even Rocky 5😊. I can get behind this version as well.

Nice reimagining. I like how you changed the scene on the corner with Robert. One of my biggest issues with Rocky V is the order of events in this part. It always seemed very convenient that Rocky put Robert back in the #1 spot right after Tommy turned on him. It feels forced and it takes away the chance for Rocky to CHOOSE his son over Tommy

Could you imagine how fitting and epic it would have been if this all lead to Robert Balboa vs Adonis Creed. now that would be a good movie/story

Can you guys do Spider-Man 3?

Controversial post... I liked Rocky V

How about reworking some of the lesser Bond movies? A View to A Kill, Die Another Day, Diamonds Are Forever...just a few suggestions.

Also, I’ve always wondered if Rocky is rich again in the Creed movies after the fight with Mason Dixon, but he just chooses to live in the house he had with Adrian?

This would have been great 👍 Excellent job. 🥊🥊

Walter you have an art awesome story's

This was so good

Your versions of the rocky series are a lot better. You should have been the director of that entire rocky series cause. Then we would have something way different than we got now you have a true gift

This video was great. You should do one for the godfather part 3

Damn, I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing idea like that before.

Rocky V is awesome. End fight was the best.

You HAVE to rewrite the star wars prequels next. PLEASE DO THAT.

Your version sounds so much better

That walk out statement was great 👍 and so TRUE 👍

I like it, nice job!

Who didn't like rocky five? I thought it was awesome. Certainly not the best, but still a fun watch.
