But I don’t watch Rocky movies to see shades of myself. I’m afraid of everything-seaweed, spiders, sharks, death. Then, for half of his training with Apollo, Rocky is wrestling with mental issues before Adrian, as aforementioned, sets him straight. He’s hiring a house band, kissing platinum blond super-fans-with Adrian watching, no less-and training with the nonchalance of my daughter making a Tik-Tok video. Rocky’s training for the first fight with Clubber was absolute garbage. I call this “The Dogging Factor” in his training. T in the first round, toys with him in the second, and puts the son of a bitch to bed in the third round to regain his title.īut my problem with Rocky III is something that vexes me in two of the films, making parts of them frustrating to watch. There’s also a case to be made that the second fight against Clubber Lang is Rocky’s most dominant.
Īnd Adrian’s motivational speech on the beach is, verbatim, what I’ve been waiting for my wife to say to me for almost twenty years. Can we at least agree that Hulk Hogan was screwed out the “Best Supporting Actor” award in 1982 for his role as Thunder Lips, The Ultimate Male. Listen, there’s a lot to like about this film. So without further ado, here are the definitive rankings of Rocky movies.
ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH TO SON IN HINDI SCRIPT HOW TO
While most guys were learning how to communicate with romantic partners, my dumb-ass was trying to do one-arm push-ups therefore, I suffered and sacrificed for these films, a true ascetic. Of course, the same broad generalizations could be applied to The Godfather movies, but now you’re stereotyping Italians as mobsters and criminals.Īdditionally, I estimate that my obsession with watching Rocky movies as an adolescent prolonged my virginity by, at least, two years. If you happen to have Italian heritage then you’re automatically more qualified than those who aren’t paisans to rank Rocky films.Īdditionally, if you happen to have an Italian surname-like me-it’s even more impressive because you can start bandying around the moniker The Italian Stallion and use at your own. Let’s start with the fact that I’m Italian. So allow me, please, to begin with my credentials. I also understand that it is both audacious and absurd to claim that I can definitively list the Rocky movies, worst to best, when the topic is subjective. So I’ve decided to put an end to all debate and compile the definitive rankings of the Rocky movies so we can all move on to more important analytical questions, such as whether Neil Peart or John Bonham was a better rock drummer. I know that Dan and I are far from alone in our attempt to rank and file the cinematic saga that has defined American courage, resilience and grit.
“You couldn’t be more wrong,” Dan says, needling me. Besides, the song is a complete fire jam.” “Not only is the ‘No Easy Way Out’ montage the best five minutes of that film, it enshrines Rocky and Apollo’s friendship, captures Rocky’s myriad emotions following his friend’s death and deftly replays the first three movies, using juxtaposition brilliantly. “You need to acknowledge that ‘Living in America’ is the best music video in Rocky IV,” Dan wrote. To my shock and surprise, Dan has just posted a YouTube link to James Brown’s “Living in America” performance from Rocky IV on his social media with an outrageous claim. We pride ourselves in our acumen and insight when it comes to anything related to Rocky Balboa and the bevy of films based on his character. My friend Dan-who lives in Missouri-and I are engaged in a Zoom discussion on one of our favorite topics: Rocky movies.
