Rocky 1 best scene

[ChicagoRich100]

1:43 of the clip, one of the most POWERFUL moments in Cinema IMO! Just two words from Rocky "Come on..." and the look of disbelief from Apollo! BRILLIANT!

[Karatel2011]

The best fight of Rocky

[piteus1]

Many people believe Rocky is about boxing and a Cinderella story. But it's more than that. It's a redemption story as well as a love story. From Rocky who want to be something ... to Micky who wants to have a chance to manage a champion match ... to Adrianne who just wants to be loved. It's about two lonely individuals, Adrianne and Rocky, who find love in a lonely world. That's what you have to Remember when watching the movie. It's much more than just boxing.

[ikicku]

I've seen this a thousand times and still feel goosebumps

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

Love that look on Apollo’s face when he sees Rocky is getting up.

[TheShockMaster]

@IamtheBurceDickenson

Me too, I love that look on Apollo's face. It's the perfect, "...You have GOT to be kidding me!" face.

[astarothsharp]

and the music is so good,,,and adrian is hot

[backdraft4750]

This part of the movie is what made "Rocky" legendary....Absolutely pure movie magic....It still gives me chills.

[mx574992]

i fukin love this scene, pure heart

[jebes909090]

Apollo still cant believe this video after 16 times.

[STEJTHEGREATEST]

I don't half feel for Apollo Creed after he takes those body shots and struggles to get to his corner.

[t9j6c6j51]

I still use the Rocky music on my ipod in the gym every time, i'm 46 and nothing gets me pumped more than this piece of music.

[bennybagofdonuts]

I always love that look Apollo gives at 1:44 - It's as if he's finally realizing "Oh shit, this guy is for real". A great motivator for sure.

[BrewCrew67]

Just notice the 2 double punches at the end is the same video used twice from different cameras.

[OUWATZAHLE08]

/watch?v=bvCd0iGy4lQ&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[nitedrive]

This remains one of the greatest American films ever. Never gets old.

[DisasterOnline]

"A left right combination!! What is keeping him up, Bill?!"

"I don't know!"

"Can't even get his gloves up to protection!"

[adesor]

If I ever have a chance to meet Sly Stallone in my life, I would shake hands with him and thank him for this great emotional and moving movie! Words are not enough to describe what I feel every time I watch this scene....!

[hrivera007]

The music in all these films are as legendary as the movies themselves.

[ant2403]

Great film, great music filmed in 28 days. Won Sly an Oscar for best original screen play

[cohenfs]

Thanks for posting

[Sil3NtSh0T]

Does anyone know what the music in the background is called ?

[kobi2485]

the song called "going the distance" by bill contti

[CandidPantyhoes]

@Sil3NtSh0T The background music in the Rocky fight is called Going the Distance by Bill Conti

[rocky96MAGICPW]

Every time i watch this the feelings in me cames higher i love Rocky

[popstar16221]

I have the whole collection of rocky movies but out of all of them the best one i like is when rocky gets up and apollo has a look on his face like what the **** Rocky FOREVER

[magisterdoctus]

:(

[lordvoldemort578]

0:07 Black man Looked vicious.

[lordvoldemort578]

@cesaraugustothanos I'm black though.

[cesaraugustothanos]

@lordvoldemort578 ,

Racist, equal. The caracter Apollo Creed is amazing, inspired in Muhammad Ali.

[lordvoldemort578]

@cesaraugustothanos Oh yeah?

[cesaraugustothanos]

@lordvoldemort578 ,

Sylvester Stallone was inspired to fight Muhammad Ali vs.Wepner, to write the movie Rocky. Apollo Cred fight in this movie as he fought Ali, and Rocky is inspired by Wepner

[lordvoldemort578]

@cesaraugustothanos Oh,,, Be right back sorry

[jaygill02128]

@cesaraugustothanos I've always thought the Creed character was indeed amazing! He's an obvious reflection of Ali in "Rocky" and doesn't garner much audience sympathy as all through the film, he looks at the fight as his personal showcase at our lovable underdog, Rocky's expense. However, in this scene as the video poster points out, he is like "what the F%#?" when Rocky gets off the canvas with Conti's stirring music as a backdrop-a great turn for the Creed character (more)

[jaygill02128]

@jaygill02128 Also, Creed's character in Rocky II arcs tremendously as he is now the proud, determined champion that made him a public favorite to begin with. He wants to prove he's a true champ, defend the honor of his children and gives it his all...to his demise however as he goes for the KO vs. "just staying away" in the 15th. I also love his serious, "You're going down!" mantra to Rocky in the final fight. Creed is played to near perfection by the great Carl Weathers.

[artynr1]

creed was like.....O......M......G......­..

[1990osu]

The realism lapses in this scene. But I see this more like the American Dream personified. The symbolism of Rocky taking that many punches and everybody telling him to stay down and he still gets up.

[alexanderfschen]

Sadly, if this was a real boxing match Apollo probably would have won via TKO at 1:07. Rocky can't even get his gloves up.

[mikeythompson7777]

@alexanderfschen I agree. No way a real ref would let a defenseless fighter take that many unanswered punches TO THE HEAD without stepping in and stopping it--especially when it's a club fighter against the film equivalent of Muhammad Ali...

[cesaraugustothanos]

@mikeythompson7777

Mickey did not just want Rocky to be killed in the ring, so to say "stay down".

[xEGC92x]

Cheers for the comments guys. appreciate it. forgot about this video until the other day.

[MegaTherock94]

what is keeping him up? the drive to prove to himself he is more than just a bump from the neighborhood

[Straphis2001]

Apollo sees Rocky get up & thinks to himself "You MotherFucker!!!"

[stexy5]

Adrian: Why do you wanna fight?

Rocky: Because I can't sing or dance.

[memphisblues78]

@stexy5 Hey you gotta be a moron to wanna be a fighter. Look at this face. See that nose? 64 fights that nose ain't never been broken. Isn't that rare?

[mikeythompson7777]

Two observations:

1. two long counts in this fight; Rocky KO'd Creed in the first, & Creed KO'd Rocky in the 11th; however, neither fighter went to his corner timely, so the count was late.

2. Wondering why Mickey tells Rocky to "stay down" after he was knocked down in the 11th? Was he conceding the fight?

[JWCFIGHTFAN]

@mikeythompson7777

One observation:

IT'S A FUCKING MOVIE!

[mikeythompson7777]

@JWCFIGHTFAN Sorry. I didn't bother mentioning it was a movie, cause I figured everyone would get that from the start, without me drawing them a little picture with arrows, directions, instructions, and word balloons. Guess I was wrong. So, to amend, for the slower kids in class: (Ahem): IN THIS MOVIE... Meanwhile, guessing everyone else has already figured out the first "long count" scene is Stallone's homage to famous Dempsey-Tunney fight in the early 20th century...

[angelus4282]

@mikeythompson7777

1. Possibly an oversight in editing.

2. Mickey doesn't want to see Rocky permanently injured and thinks the kid has more than proven his point. But Rocky, as we know, wants more than anything to go the distance. So he wills himself to get back up rather than stay down.

[stretch90]

anyone know the name of this song?

[mikeythompson7777]

@stretch90 The name of the song is Going The Distance, by Bill Conti. It's on the movie soundtrack.

[liv38ig]

Fucking classic... goosebumps

[Nereofrariz21]

Scene full of menaning. The stallion falls, but rises!

[Vintagedude]

This is always inspiring, but in my humble opinion, the best scenes are at the very beginning- he comes home to an empty dump, beat up, looking at his boyhood pictures, wondering what happened- and the other part when he gets up at like 4, cracks 6 eggs, and reluctantly- but religiously- goes jogging through the night. These scenes tell so much about his character.

[Polarcupcheck]

@Vintagedude I think a lot of people today look back 6 years, look at their life now, and wonder what happened. This economy is turning people into Rocky 5.

[dr123491]

no the best part is when rocky knocks apollo on his ass in the first round............. and the champ realizes....this is a real fight

[Goldenchild795]

I love this movie, But the fight is so unrealistic, A referee would never let a fighter take that many unanswered shots as Rocky took from Creed

[markefc18]

@Goldenchild795 back in the day.. no holds barred.

[ElMaruecan82]

@Goldenchild795 Well, you may be right, but that's the power of dramatization, and it sure works with "Rocky" ...think 'emotional impact' not "realistic depiction'

[BojaDrawing]

@Goldenchild795 well this is back in the days. Did you know that in the 50th's the champ had to go out with a K.O and that the match would last unit he went out or the opponent did, tho i dont think this is supposed to be that long back in time lol xD

[thewolfmanchu]

@Goldenchild795 nowadays no, but back in the mid 70's for sure. Just ask ali or frazier!

[xLuiKangx007]

Imagine Sylvester Stallone fights Russell Crow ins a boxing macth

[MrRobert1104]

god dam it i cried again :/

[Mycommentisworthless]

Rocky 1 is the greatest sports movie.

[tradesmanstips]

4 my lad in Phoenix Arizona who just simply lives Rocky.........TWC

[KidFantasmo]

apollo had taht look like ah what the fuck come on

[justin26UK]

Rocky fights great, but Creeds a great fighter.

[MrFrozenLava]

look at his built in this movie and then see rocky 4.... butt tonne of difference..

[tily1974]

as the penguin says left handers lead with there heads..wa wa wa wi wiwiwi

[TROUSERFLAP]

Perhaps the referee was a vampire, that's why he didn't stop this shit. The more blood the better. Supper time.

[Timehn36k9voc]

@TROUSERFLAP lol ikr? did u notice him casually walk by at 1:06 when Rocky was getting knocked down?

[danthearsenalfan]

if a boxer these days got even the slightest cut, the fight would be stopped. This how it should be. About heart aswell as boxing skill.

[tvaddik]

if rocky would have avoided that last knockdown he would have won the decision.

[terrorofsesameST]

Best scene in cinematic history!

[jackbliss]

Have you ever seen a scene in a movie with more heart? Didn't think so...

[craigwirollsuxdix]

One of the most iconic scenes in movie history

[elmagicomessi]

thumbs up if u miss these kind of music in the movies today

[XXActionJackson]

@elmagicomessi Yeah.. Because the inception soundtrack sucks.

[Oceanpacifica1968]

@elmagicomessi Why did the guy say "tremen" instead of "tremendous" at the end?

[elmagicomessi]

@Oceanpacifica1968

no time left for him

[mx574992]

@elmagicomessi ya, bill conti is a genius

[artynr1]

you can beat him you can make him go down but you will never be possible to make him STAY DOWN! 

[Munch4027]

u got knocked the fuk out!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha

[lamix34]

i almost cried when apollo died vs drago :(

[lopshie]

why is it that when rocky's winning the referee stops the fight, but when the other guys wining he doesnt!?!?!

[alanjavieralan]

La escena hubiera sido perfecta si la minita lanzaba una lagrima, pero no lo hizo, no señor, ni una sola, hubiera sido perfecto....

[takushi98]

Creed's look is like "Okay I've hit the man with my best, what do I have to do to keep him down!?

[GeorgiaKev]

It was very touching when Micky told Rocky "Stay down" when Rocky was on the canvas. He was worried about his fighter's well-being, and then after Rocky got up and the announcer said "Apollo can't believe it". Great scene.

[ArMMaN9]

Rocky Legend !!!

[extremeables]

apollo creed is desapointed when rocky gets back up

[samo63]

beast inside me.. bak to that club as soon as possible.. kissing the train :)

[GabKoost]

Greatest song ever!

[alanst18]

dam boxing was bad in the 80's

[j04370859]

@alanst18 This was in the 70s and you better be joking.

[alanst18]

@j04370859 lol i was joking,but my bad i thought this was an 80s movie

[pedropes666]

were is the name to the song?

[Doug19752533]

@pedropes666 its called "Going the Distance"

[firdaus125]

that was the longest 10 count in history

[TheTick319]

That's so hilarious at 1:15 when Mickey is telling Rocky to stay down.

[DanielTheWalrus]

From Rocky 2, about this scene: "He's all wrong for us, baby. I saw you beat that man like I never saw no man get beat before, and the man kept coming after you. Now we don't need no man like that in our lives."

[SoooBlue]

Rocky has sensational defence.

[GREENSOLARGARDENER]

take that back..its called "GOING THE DISTANCE"

[GREENSOLARGARDENER]

its called the "FINAL BELL"

[hm31191]

whats the beggining song called ?

[MUFCFrankie]

Everyone do me a foavour and thumbs down that fucking Dallon comment.

I aint having none of that shit on the greatest scene of all time.

[illuminatijews]

in real life, this fight would have been stopped.

[mrthundaboots]

The only reason Rocky 4 is more exciting is because of the sound effects.This was a classic!

[DanIrish409]

@onsenfoudunomful The gatti-ward trilogy is!!!!

[HypocrisyMcGee]

Sylvester Stallone was pretty small; That is, comparing him now-a-days.

[jstarks123]

@HypocrisyMcGee....yea, he wasn't on HGH yet in the Rocky movies



[jdmikeg4]

he should just bite his ear

[chwits]

he gets up an apollo's face is like damnit.......

[onsenfoudunomful]

does boxing is really that exciting?

[markpringle]

I get goosebumps just watching the clip! Truly one of the greatest scenes of all-time.

[TheAlmightyAss]

rocky 2,3 and 4 are awesome but this still makes me well up. the ultimate underdog story

[Timehn36k9voc]

Apollo at 1:30 is thinkin, "Son of a bitch!"

[leafyutube]

After her husband got killed in The Godfather, she got a job in a pet shop and married Rocky.

[danning1]

@leafyutube Talia Shire as an actress was a two-trick pony. She could play Rocky's wife and Michael Corleone's sister well. Other than that not much.

[OSCDAT]

@leafyutube I knew that from the start and whats even worse she left her child with the Marciano's and pretended to be a virgin . Cant believe even though Paulie knew this he lied to his best friend .

[OSCDAT]

@OSCDAT Is is Marciano's or the Corleone's ..... Hmm Not sure ;P

[wasteland70]

@leafyutube LOL!!!! But Carlo had it comin'

[seudotrofio]

1:07 poor rocky!!! he gonna kill him !!!! stop the fight!!! :´(

[Soundsbro123]

I saw Micky when he said, "Down! Down! Stay down!" Too bad. He passed in Rocky. :(

[SuperROLFLMAO]

Rocky is the master of blocking with his face.

[GrimSolitude]

@numberonecaster Don't judge the length of time Rocky was down for on the length in the clip; multiple scenes were shown during those 8-9 seconds in which Rocky would have been knocked down, climbed back to his feet, and kept going. Yes, the fight continues! Go watch Rocky!

[rockhammer85]

One of the best endings to any film. For me, anyway.

[Nickcat5]

There is only ONE Rocky film & this is it!! It was the only one based on a true story,had any element of truth in it, the most believable and the most HEART!! In fact it's the Only One with Heart!! The rest were mere sequels,like in the order of Tarzan movies!!

[vpirates62]

Hard left and right combination! What is keeping him, Bill? I dont know!

[Archangel101576]

The most moving moment in the entire Rocky series was when he struggled to get up after being knocked down in the 14th round. That scene represented the best about Rocky and his indominable human spirit. He was clearly defeated, but refused to quit. That is what made the movie, and it's a shame that Stallone got lost in the action scenes in the sequels. Most people enjoyed Rocky because of what the character represented, NOT because of the larger than life fight scenes.

[trebor268787]

@Archangel101576 i dont think it got lost in the sequels..the fights did become more and more insane but the emotion was still there for the most part..rocky 2's finish is an insane display of emotion by everyone from rocky to mickey to paulie, adrian, his mafia boss, apollo and his wife..rocky 4 was also great when he cut the russian..the announcer makes that scene plus rockys trainer and apollos old trainer

[DanielTheWalrus]

APOLLO CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

[Wolfspiderxl]

That Talia Shire's a real pretty lady, "Adriannnnne!!"

[VikeFan284296]

if this doesnt give you goosebumps, you arent a man

[daniel5176]

I would smash them both in the ring.LOL...Was a big film back in the day.

[MikeZ778]

@daniel5176 still is...

[daniel5176]

@MikeZ778 Not wrong there my friend.

[AndreasFalk8]

fuckINg acrap cant fucking load shit viedo

[cannedgoods29]

"WHAT IS KEEPING HIM UP BILL!!??" F me....Goosebumps everytime

[tubiebrother]

I always get emotional by the end of this scene. it's that song. It reminds me when I was 11 and my mother took me to see this movie. I don't have many memories of just us two together when I was young but this was my most memorable I think.

[TheAmx27]

When I was a kid, this was basically my motivation in life. Looking back, the rocky series undoubtedly had a simplistic theme but it was one that made you just want to work hard

[JimmySteller]

I agree, this is the best moment of the film. The music swell at 1:05- 1:08 always got me.

[vladismael141088]

35 to 38 secon´d wtf awsome creed were are lose

[tryduil]

14 people will never have the eye of the tiger.

[TheRogueLeader]

14 people listened to micky and stayed down

[RukawaKota]

Five, six, seven, eight.. nine!! its the best time!!

[wholloway909]

i cant see out of my eye... gotta cut me me mick... cut me

[freethemurrays]

why does evryone find this sad?

[tehkao]

Apollo in his prime vs Clubber Lang...who would win?

Clubber Lang vs Drago...who would win?

[vladismael141088]

@tehkao sorry for my english but i will try write, in the first apollo and second ivan, but i got a question, ivan won to apollo because apollo have 5 years without fight, and apollo realy hurt to rocky in the first and second fight, sorry for my english i hope you understand jejejejejeje

[DanielTheWalrus]

@tehkao Drago would beat everybody and Apollo would beat Clubber, i think.

[wholloway909]

@tehkao Apollo would win against Clubber and Drago would win against Clubber

[RukawaKota]

@tehkao the first one i think Apollo by his speed

the next one Drago of course!!

[alopez527]

all I wanna do is go the distance......

[daUbaby51]

"What is keeping him up Bill?" "I dont know!"

[XzThisIsUniQue]

One of my fav Films.

Piss poor Ref tho,

[totalvicky]

How do some people not get the point? Even if there are battles in this life that you may lose - you still MAKE your adversary give the fight of thier life to beat you. You don't walk away or quit because the odds are against you. You make your opponent fight like they have never fought before if they want to try to actually beat you. You make them respect you even if you do not win ... Rocky made Apollo fight his toughest bout ever and he earned respect even nobody thought he had a chance ...

[tehkao]

Wow...this music is so epic and perfect for this scene

[MegaCastigers]

this was a very effective emotional scene. Man it almost had me in tears

[conorwilson1647]

what is the music during this amazing scene?

[RukawaKota]

i love 2:36 xD apollo´s face and he tought was easy the fight

[8anosPro]

this music is so epic... never got bored

[htcpower]

super movie! in todas days there are no such super actors and movies.

apollo and rocky are the best!

[Ch3wyHomz]

Go Rocky beat the shit out of that bitch

[MrRobert1104]

i raped the replay button

[freaktop10]

@DallonBrobeck sorry dude... WE TRIED OUR BEST.. that was so tight... i wish we won

[PenguinBabi]

Oh Dallon. Stop being hilarious and awesome, I'm trying to be sad we lost.

[candypop678]

Lol Dallon Weekes brought me here. Oh Dallon :3

[VikeFan284296]

@candypop678 rocky brought me here
