Rocky

Comments

just for any scrolling through wondering what to watch... this is top three best reaction of theirs. this is why you watch people react. if you love the movie then this will be #1 reaction. if you dont still give it a watch.

Wolf

Rocky wasn't being cheap at the ice rink, $10 in 1976 is worth over $50+ today.

Just Me Chris

This is one of my favourite movies. Anyone who doesn't want to watch it because it's a boxing movie - it really isn't. It's a love story, with some boxing in it.

Alex Lee

You guys got to do the whole series obviously 2 being the next one you would need to do ..love the reactions by the way. Take care

Critical87

2 for sure.

Raider Ron

2 for sure.

Raider Ron

ROCKY 2 yes 🙌 do it next!

N M

I rarely watch reactions from people on movies but i love and maybe this is weird but I’m low key rushing for part 2. Sorry, but I am. Only because I know Miss Asia will fall in love with all the characters. So…YO ASIA!!!! (In my Rocky voice). Please react to 2-6 then Creed 1-3🥰

Awilda Luciano

ABSOLUTELY!!! You have to see all of them. By Creed 1…Rocky became my dude, my family member, I love him so much 🥰

Awilda Luciano

I loved reading your comment but in my head sounds like good ol’ Mick🥰

Awilda Luciano

YES!! And Stallone also won Golden Globes for best supporting actor in Creed. Got a standing ovation and ended his speech by thanking his imaginary best friend “Rocky Balboa” (youtube clip of that speech) love it

Awilda Luciano

80s movies had such better storylines, now they rely more on special effects instead of the actual story. I’m glad you guys are hitting the classics hard! Take care guys, miss you guys in the lives, hopefully I’ll be able to hop on one soon and say hi!

CALIXYUKON

that was so much fun

Rob Veloce

If you liked this, then you'll definitely like Casino Royale (2006 James Bond).

Stacey Capito

As it's well known Stallone wrote Rocky some people naively think Sly is the character. We also all know that Hollywood Studios wanted his written work. He wasn't an idiot. Just watch him on interview shows some critically acclaimed shows at that.

George Bakis

Written by Sylvester Stallone. Amazing movie! 👊🏼👊🏼

Justin Doggett

Asia you need to see rocky Ii

Lisa Schaefer

You gotta watch at least Rocky 2, they’re all great!

Debbie Green

Raging bull is a classic as well - both good films imo

SilverDoe🎔

Asia, you need to see all of the Rocky movies! ♥

SylMyl

Rocky is best over the others. You are introduced to the characters you learn about them and you go on the journey with them it was heralded with praise and awards. Yes Rocky II is great, some of the others are entertaining but there is a drop off. Cinderella Man is a another Boxing film 1930s period film very well done.

George Bakis

No, it goes to whoever gets the 2 out of 3 votes from the judges (in this case, Creed got those). They only announce that it's a split decision to highlight that the fight was close (which they knew because they were already talking about NOT having a rematch in anticipation of people asking for one). The only time the champ keeps their belt when they don't win is in a tie or no-contest (or if the loss is overturned because of something like a bad drug test).

Jimmie V

Gotta watch Rocky II, III & IV Asia. They’re all entertaining & touch the heart.

Michele Perez

I have no idea why you lumped me in with the Dexter demons?

George Bakis

Just so you know. It was Frank Stallone, Sylvester‘s brother who was singing "Take You Back", at the beginning of the film.

Michele Perez

Asia you need to see….Rocky II 💪

SteveSize

Rocky II is a better movie because there’s a lot more of Apollo in it. And he absolutely kills in the role.

Leon Jones

You need to see rocky 2 and rocky 3 after that they tend to suck personally I think rocky 3 is the best that's my favorite

Shenita

In a split decision, the champion gets to keep his belt and his title.

John

Spring for Showtime and watch it yourself if that eager to watch it.

LynnC

Just so you know this is a series that's spanned from the 1970s to 2023: *Rocky *Rocky 2 *Rocky 3 *Rocky 4 *Rocky 5 *Rocky Balboa *Creed *Creed 2 *Creed 3 50 years of fire! Hope you keep going :)

LynnC

Rocky 4 is my favorite

Chris Smith

Keep going guys!

Joey

Highlander is a fantastic movie, I've heard. Some say the soundtrack is outstanding. Soundtrack done by Queen. You two are fantastic, Happy New Year!!!

BOOMSTICK

Great reaction again you two. I mean come on. You already know the answer to the question. Just go ahead and fire it up lol.

Pop_Pop_Taq

I wouldve loved it if they made this movie and that was it. The ending was perfect. Rocky and Adrian were together and he went the distance. I know it was just a movie but it showed that sometimes in life, the real victories arent the obvious ones. Great reaction. Now... The Batman (2022) ?

Em Gomez

I was wondering when the “Where is Dexter New Blood?!” Demand going to pop up in this post. I swear every single post has someone demanding that. BJ and Asia watched and reacted to two episodes a week, every week for all six seasons with no breaks. Can they take a few months to get a break and watch other things? One person on this post says they are leaving the subscription because of too much Dexter bullshit and another one is threatening to leave because they haven’t watched Dexter New Blood yet. Sheesh!

Pink Martini AZ

It never gets old watching people experience the patented Rocky "block with your face" defense for the first time.

Jon

when are you going to react to Dexter New Blood!!!? If not soon, I'm out of here

Janet Daurity

Rocky 2, 3 and 4. Asap.

Dan Gershgol

Yesssss! Rocky II and beyond!

Quiche

ASIA, YOU NEED TO SEE ROCKY II !!!! One of the few sequels that is better than the first. Y'all need to watch part 2 tonight!

Joel

Rocky II is even better!

Kevin ward

Yes to the whole franchise!!!

Thomas Laisney

♥ I can't wait for Rocky II!

Jennifer James (wtfwebgoddess)

Yes, Asia. You need to watch Rocky 2 for sure. Arguably the best in the franchise.

Dustin

YES! ASIA needs to watch Rocky II, III and IV. V is eh. But then also watch BALBOA the one that came out a few years back.

Bill B.

They only get better. As we all go

Brandon Wheeler

You 2 are the best!!! Thx for that reaction, i can't wait how you react about ROCKY II greetings from germany ❤

Andreas

Yes that’s a good one too.

Pink Martini AZ

When Asia had her comments at the beginning of this, I was clapping and giggling because I knew, I just knew she’d be cheering for and loving Rocky at the end. Just like we all did. I knew she was going to be pleasantly surprised that it revolves around the characters and story and not the boxing. Hands down, Rocky is THE best Hollywood character ever. He is a man with a heart of gold and he never loses that in any of the sequels, including Creed. And that’s a huge HELL YES to Rocky II

Pink Martini AZ

Star Wars, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Invasion of the Body Snatchers...

tek

The song that played during the 2nd half of the fight was sampled in the song called "Victory" by Puffy feat. Notorious B.I.G. Great motivational song. And yes...you gotta watch Rocky II...and the rest of them. Just when you think there is no where else to go with the franchise...Rocky 6 will surprise you.

tek

And also in Breaking Bad Hank mentioned Rocky and was “trying” to sing the Rocky III classic song “Eye of the Tiger” when Mr. White was driving him to pick up the GPS tracker from Gus’s Volvo.

Jesse

Also I agree with other commenters here. Definitely watch the sequels yo.

Jesse

Rocky is such a great classic it is still talked about and used as references in films and shows to this very day. Can’t forget Breaking Bad when Jesse got his face beaten to a pulp by Hank and Saul showed up at the hospital and said. “ Yo Adrian, Rocky wants his face back.” 👍🥊

Jesse

YES to Rocky 2 !! It took me years to watch Rocky and I finally did and absolutely loved it !! I love him !! Such a great story !

Michele G

No, offense, but why announce it? I don't get it...Asia and BJ do a lot of good content. If I don't watch/like something? I wait for the next. I don't announce I'm leaving because I didn't like a TV show or something. They can't please everyone...

SilverDoe🎔

Don't worry there will be many Rocky sequels! LOL Notice Mickey the trainer of Rocky? That's the older old man from GRUMPY OLD MEN movie. Rocky movie was the best when it came out it was enjoyed by all!

Teri

I would watch II-IV and then check out Creed. Creed is greattttttttttttttttt

Shaun2342!

Asia, that’s just how kool cats walked in the 70s…my uncles from Chi town all walked and talked like that..the epitome of kool 😎

Nizate

Then later BJ leans over "Diana Ross with Rocky Balboa". Hahaha

Eddie Munzter

I love when Asia leans over to BJ and mimics what the actors are doing on the screen. It's the greatest! Too funny 🤣

Eddie Munzter

Loved it - This isn't just a boxing franchise. Its about Rocky's heart, and romance, an epic romance, he's the ultimate underestimated underdog, (Stallone was born himself in hells kitchen) and? If you watch 4? I personally recommend the directors cut, not the original. For me? The directors cut is so much better. It brings more depth to it imo, and how Stallone really wanted the movie to be. The original is very political. Stallone wanted it less so iirc. PLEASE keep going! ($40) was worth over $250 in todays money, btw, in 1974 lol still not a lot, considering... Stallone's son, who's in Rocky V died at 36 as well sadly. If you get a chance? On your own? On Amazon watch the family Stallone, I think its called. Its interesting, he even goes back to Philly with his daughters.

SilverDoe🎔

2 is good watch them all

sean shepard

I watch popcorn and bed as well your absolutely right, they watched all 6 Rocky’s including the creeds. BTW: Also he still has the two turtles to this day “Cuff and Link” The turtles are in their late 40’s. Slyvester took a pic with them a few years back.

Honestly41

You know, everyone says that about Rocky before they see it. They think it’s submerged with boxing when actually like Asia said it’s a love story. Boxing is actually the footnote. Rocky 3 was always my favorite as a kid as well but as i got older it became my 2nd favorite.

Honestly41

YES ASIA WE NEED A ROCKY 2 REACTION IMMEDIATELY! Rocky 1 is actually my 3rd favorite in the franchise, the best is yet to come imo. In Rocky 2 you be much more invested in the characters and the growth. Also Sylvester says himself Truth be told Rocky is actually a love story, boxing is actually the footnote.

Honestly41

Absolutely, you need to finish this series. Rocky 6 is a friggin' amazing movie. It takes the whole journey to get there. I'm so happy you're watching these. Enjoy! Love you guys!

Rayna & Mike Sitter

This reaction deserves a second and maybe even a third watch for sure. ABSOLUTELY, PLEASE continue to watch the rest of the franchise 2-6. By the next one you will totally be invested in all the characters. I promise you won’t be disappointed even going into CREED 1-3, which you won’t understand unless you watch Rocky 1-6 first, it just hits different knowing the history. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the rest. ☺️

Awilda Luciano

Yes you must see Rocky II

Smitty Benzo

Please please watch trainspotting. One of my favourite films. Not about trains in the slightest but has Ewan mcgregor in. Amazing film about addiction and very educational

Abigail

Yooooooo Adrian! Just got home time to relax and dive in ✌️❤️ fam! *Edit* Great reaction glad Asia enjoyed it and Asia you should definitely watch Rocky II.

Darth Brooks

My subscription is up tonight. Was a good run, GOT, Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Saul and movies in between. I'll be back in the late Spring to see if Office, Curb, Yellowstone, Deadwood, Hell On Wheels, 6ft Under, Wonder Years Or if it's more Dexter bullshit. Literally didn't watch one episode of Dexter on the channel. Two and a Half Men or Twin Peaks. House is better than Dexter. The Wonder Years for god sakes. Queens Gambit, 11/22/63 etc...

IRLEPL

I, like so many others, love Rocky. He’s a character that means a lot to a lot of people and truly represents the human spirit. I would love if you guys continued through the whole rest of the series (number 6, Rocky Balboa is my second favorite after the first), but if nothing else you’ve absolutely got to watch Rocky II.

Derek Jolstead

Rocky 2 - 4 are really good. Rocky 5 not so much. Rocky Balboa (6) is good. And Creed 1 - 3 with Michael B. Jordan are really good. Mick was in Grumpy Old Men. Enjoy!

Jay B

Have y'all reacted to Working Girl? Awesome movie, I would love to watch it with you!

Janet Daurity

Adrian seems like a really really introverted person, I love that they wrote her that way. The scene where mick shows up, is also really interesting and rockys yelling through the apartment. This big opportunity fell into his lap and he's just processing it and all the feelings of so many years come up. It puts everything in perspective for him, whereas for so long he had accepted his lot in life that "it stinks". That 100 thousand was like half a mill or more in today's money I believe. We need to go all the way to rocky 4 (not rocky 5) I'm thinkin.

Robert

Asia stumbled upon the great combat sports 10-point scoring system controversy inadvertently. How? Lemme explain. "Why didn't rocky win? He was messing the other guy up more." True, and if that fight went on more rounds, Rocky probably would have ultimately won by not having the broken ribs, probably. No way to know for sure, but it was nooooot looking good for Apollo. But... Every single round of fighting (MMA and Boxing) is like its own fight. The events of a prior round have no bearing round to round. Now, if you get dropped in round one like Apollo, it is going to mess your performance up, so you're likely to do poorly moving forward, but that's not a 100 percent chance. Some fighters recover quickly. Others have super weak chins where they get jabbed once and they drop dead. This system where every round is scored as its own thing and someone MUST win the round is the 10 point must system you hear about in fighting. A 10-9 is a round where someone does better than someone else, but it can literally be just throwing one more jab than the other guy. Its up the judges. Some things that are not up to judges are point reductions. If you punch a guy in the junk on purpose, the rules make it impossible for you to win that round. The BEST you could do is finish your opponent, but if you don't, they get that round free. Another thing not left to judges are knockdowns. In the first round, Rocky knocked apollo down for a substantial 7/8 second count. This almost always results in a further point loss for the person knocked down. This would make it a 10/8 round. Basically, a knockdown like Rocky had bought him 2 rounds (won him 2 rounds). There are a lot of scenes where we just see a round card. Every round after the first couple and last few. I think it would be fair to assume that Apollo consistently threw more, landed more, and took less significant strikes in those rounds. This leaves us with the "Rocky" rounds, where the big dramatic stuff would need to count for 10/8s on maybe more than just the first to swing it to being a split decision. However, the moments when Apollo was in trouble have to be the most embarrassing stuff in the world. Rocky is a janitor at a gym lol. In real life, this has happened multiple times too. Buster Douglas v Mike Tyson. Francis Ngannou knocking down Tyson Fury. Anthony Joshua v Andy Ruiz. There are too many to name where the underdog either outright wins via KO or gets some kind of moral victory that kinda robs their opponent of shine. The only different take on this was in Pride Fighting (MMA). In that rule set, the person who was more messed up at the end was the loser. More intuitive honestly, lol.

Potato Jones

Please asia watch at least rocky 2 and 3. Personally I love all of them,Rocky's journey begins in rocky and ends in the 6th one rocky balboa.

Daniel Kapity

100% see Rocky 2. It is, in no way, a departure from the first movie. It's exactly what you're looking for in a sequel to the first, a legitimate furtherance of the story you just enjoyed.

KG

Popcorn in Bed cried her eyes out in Rocky 2. I suggest watching her reaction after watching Rocky 2 on your own first, cuz it will make your heart melt.

TinCan Cosmanaut

Yes!!! Asia you definitely need to see Rocky 2 and 3 and my favorite part 4

Nuthin Good at 4

Rocky 2 is arguably better than rocky 1

Peter Ortiz

Once you are finished with Rocky, I would strongly suggest watching "Cinderella Man" 2005 with Russell Crowe. Just as good as Rocky and a very heart warming feel good true story about former heavyweight champion James J. Braddock.

Michael Hartsell

Also, Adrian was Al Pacino’s sister in the Godfather.

Michael Lynch

Yes!!!!... Maybe she'll watch this reaction. A&B make it fun.

Stacey Capito

I finally finished the reaction. I've made comments in the past recommending Rocky for Asia. I was worried when I saw the intro when she said "I don't like boxing." 😰 Definitely watch the rest of the Rocky movies. They're all pretty good. I loved Rocky 3 when I was a kid. Don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll just say 'Meatball !' Asia and BJ I would be so tickled if you could do a reaction to your origunal reaction for the song 'Gonna Fly Now' (the theme from this movie) and read the chat too. You're going to love it. We had a lot of fun!

Stacey Capito

Rocky took a lot of work to get turned into a film. It only had a $1 million budget and ended up making 225 million in the box office. Talk about successful. It was the first sports movie to win an Oscar. The movie also won three Academy Awards.

Michael Lynch

Rocky 5 does not deserve the hate it gets. It's a good movie. I don't want to give too much away but I'll say that, yes it's different, but it's necessarily different. It fits the character arc

KG

Im starting to think that I need to start a reaction channel to get my wife to watch this movie. I can't get it through to her that it's NOT the movie she thinks it is.

KG

Asia, I saw your intro about just not having any interest in seeing Rocky and I completely understand. Another reactor, Cassie, from Popcorn in Bed, felt exactly the same way. Her husband tried to get her to watch it for years and she finally did for her channel and loved it. She went through the entire trilogy. Like you, she realized it’s a love story. Even though Rocky is a boxer, he has a good heart and is a very endearing guy. BTW: The dog in the movie was actually his dog.

Tara

You have to watch 1, 2, and 3 … at least. Several interesting facts: Stallone had to sell Butkus the dog, because he was too broke to feed him, and bought him back after selling the screenplay. Stallone also still has Cuff and Link, the two turtles.

Mike Martinez

Fighters use a saline/vapor spray in their nose to help constrict the vessels, less blood if hit in the nose. The salve the wipe on them in the points of the cheeks and eyebrows helps prevent skin breakage when hit.

Stacey Capito

Did you know that Rocky won the Oscar for Best Picture and even though Sylvester Stallone wrote the movie, the producers didn’t want him to play Rocky. He fought hard and showed them by how well the movie did.

Tara

You need to see all the Rocky films (yes, including 5). But hey, just make the decision based upon whether or not you enjoyed the most recent film. Liked 1? Watch 2. Liked 2? Keep going... Also, best music in the film, IMO, is not the training music, but the piece played during the ending.

Jimmie V

Rocky II Next ❤️

Jacqueline Separovich

ASIA, YOU NEED TO SEE ROCKY II

Brien Kliver

Definitely continue with the series. #3 is my favorite of them all

Mike Adams

He was born in NYC but lived in Philly for a bit. I went to the same high school. Every Christmas Eve, I stay up all night and watch all the Rocky movies. He wrote this story and sadly sold the rights to make it. Which cost almost nothing. He wants to get the rights back to leave it to his kids. Look into the background of the making of this movie. It's a good read. Paulie passed a couple weeks ago. They recently opened a Rocky store at the steps of the Art Museum in Philly next to his statue.

Jesse McAdams

Absolutely, watch Rocky 2 and 3!!

QuotableDeer

Asia, you need to see Rocky II. Quick note, the main singer of the guys on the street corner is Frank Stallone, Sylvester Stallone’s brother. You know him from Tombstone. He’s the guy Doc Holliday stabs in his first scene. “You know Ed, if I thought you weren’t my friend, well I don’t think I could bear it.” Now, I’m off to watch Coming to America because I can’t get the Soul Glow theme out of my head lol

Justtired

Co-sign until 4. 4 great movies. 5 was garbage and 6 was decent. IMHO

Adamjcisme

Asia, y'all need to see number 2 :)

James Forrest

This isn’t a boxing movie. It’s not about boxing. It’s a story about a boxer. And yes ASIA watch the rematch in Rocky II. It’s as good as the first.

Jill Renaud

Asia, you need to watch Rocky 2. It's as good as the first one, if not better.

DogGroomer17

Asia, you NEED to watch Rocky 2!!!!

Joanie Archetto

Mickey is the same actor as dirty minded Grandpa Gustafson in the Grumpy Old Men movies. His name is Burgess Meredith. He also played The Penguin in the Batman TV series.

Stacey Capito

Wow!!!! That reaction!!🥰🥰 Asia, Rocky after this you’re going to fall in love with the role. Such a good job. Trust you would want to see the rest of the franchise. FYI it is 1 down 5 to go. I promise you’re going to love all the characters 🥰

Awilda Luciano

U guys plan on watching Dexter season 9?

Josh

Asia, yes, watch all 6 movies in the Rocky franchise. You will LOVE the next one.

Tom Occhipinti

The Seventies as a kid was a magical movie experience. Rocky,Jaws, Exorcist, Taxi Driver, Marathon Man, One Flew Over Cuckoos Next, Bruce Lee films released etc

George Bakis

I was a teenager when it was released the buzz in all the cities was amazing. Yes he wrote it every studio wanted to buy it but he held onto it to also play the role.

George Bakis

YEEESSS!!! Rocky 2 and beyond, Asia needs to see it all! ❤️

Martin

Asia, there aren’t many movies in history as good as this one, but Rocky II won’t disappoint.

Travysaurus Rex

YES!!!!! The original Rocky is a masterpiece. A true underdog drama; his goal was to finish, and to have a life; and be succeeded. Yo Adrian! ❤️

Jacqueline Separovich

OMG this has to be one of the best movies ever imo. Thank you for the surprise, Asia and BJ, can't wait to watch this! (Paulie will kinda grow on ya lol)

SilverDoe🎔

Butkis was his real dog as well

KG

No way yo. It’s “Yo, Adrian” yo. ⬆️ 🥊

Jesse

Better believe if Paulie threw my turkey out in the alley, I'm spending Thanksgiving in jail 😆

Jake Martin

No shame, Asia. Some movies don't hit for some, but I'm a big believer in checking things out, just to see. Movies I thought I would never be into became my favorites :) Maybe you'll enjoy, and at the very least you get to see where all the pop culture parodies and memes started

Renee S

The sequels are so good too, you guys are gonna love the the rocky franchise

Peter Ortiz

* Stallone wrote this movie. * Those turtles were actually Stallone's -- AND HE STILL HAS THEM.

Tom Occhipinti

It's Time For a Yo!

Matthew Beilewech

I can hear the music........and remember ...don't be a tomato! (tamada)

BRENDA

Hell yes! As soon as I’m done watching draft day I’ll watch this.

Michael Lynch

Getting my drink, snack, and blankie ready so I can settle in and enjoy every minute of this one.

Joanie Archetto

Such a good movie. Like Rocky II and III. Can’t go wrong with it

Dan63

I hope revenge of the Sith is next it’s the most impactful Star Wars film to date and sets the story for the movies and television shows after it from one scene alone

Mezz015

ADRIIIIEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNEEEE!!!

EJ

Hi A&B, I’m not sure if you knew that Sylvester Stallone wrote this movie. He actually wrote all of them and directed the rest, but anyway, he said he wrote this movie as a love story, not a sports story. The main character happens to be a boxer.

Tara

🔥🔥

Calvin

Holy crap!!! I’m shaking with anticipation. This one is special, guys.

Travysaurus Rex

Why did I think you had already watched this? If I had known, I would have recommend it a long time ago! Lol

Edgar Gonzalez

OMG! Love you guys so much! This post just made my day. Hope you watch 1-6, it does not disappoint. Miss Asia, hope you got your tissues! Logging off from work just for this. Thank you!!!!🥰

Awilda Luciano

Oh Hell Yeah!!! I’m just getting off work. Guess what I’m doing? 🤔

Tara

Can’t believe you haven’t seen this one yet. Classic!🥊👍🏻

Carl 🐉

And the hits just keep coming. Thank you guys so much! This is an amazing film.

Rio Mendoza

Yes! Now finish the next 5. To be honest, I can't believe it took you this long to get to Rocky.

Tom Occhipinti

Alright 👍🏾

JL Green

Yo Adrienne!!!!
