Rocky 3 - Review

[regismo]

In always jump the Thunderlips/Rocky moment when I watch the movie.

[MrCubeKing]

I have seen carl weathers (apollo creed) in real life at a sci-fi con, he plays dillon kn predator two so...

[poobies04]

Damn appolos fast but he is black

[poobies04]

Damn appo

[3jdpa]

1:45 not gay at all

[MrPink4tw]

Eye of the Tiger fixed Rocky's bad eye.

[regismo]

@MrPink4tw lol Paulie says Rocky had surgery, in the beginning of the film. It's poor explanation but...

[CRaZyPE143]

"I'M AFRAID ALRIGHT YOU WANNA HEAR ME SAY IT YOU WANNA BREAK ME DOWN AND HEAR ME SAY IT! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'M AFRAID!

[624CMAN]

i made it snow

[david2000magic]

this is my favourite of the series

[TheAlmightyAss]

36 people didn't predict pain

[Harri927]

that fight with thunderlips is Hilarious.

[mustang6172]

36 people need the Eye of the Tiger.

[TheMarylandDude]

This is where the action of Rocky that everyone loved began, and Rocky 4 took it higher. Awesome films Rocky 3 and 4.

[TheDevineBeing]

@2112murphy I know right. It just shows how contrived Rocky 3 is.

[07foxmulder]

eye of the tiger - making guineas think they can fight since the 1982.

[Dim4323]

I pitty the Fool for anyone who watched Rocky will get Snickers bar GURRRRRRR

[llovanni23]

stop at 1.25

[morath11]

This is the very first Rocky I saw in the Theatre

[tthomaselli2]

I pity 35 people.

[CosmicNeoSuperNova]

I shit you not, my video buffered 1:30 and it sounded like "He can't even wait for the fuck to start."

[KmorrisonNCC1701]

I pitty the fool who don't like Rocky......

[TheSamiryoussef]

avgn glitch video: "IT'S A CLUBBER F**K!!!"

[lightingcobra]

Mr. T is sooooo epic in this film!

[MrHEC381991]

Rocky should have died in that wrestling match but ah well. IN THE FLESH, BABY ;P

[muty564]

obviously rocky isn't going to win the race...... Apollo is black!

[Ozztastic57]

Family guy made fun of this movie for a whole episode

[tomaspeverell]

@Ozztastic57 in what episode?

[DeadMan4100]

35 people are ultimate meatballs

[Ray01Geogeass]

At 1:56 your a bit wrong james

I didn't wanna see Rocky win I just wanted Clubber lagn to get his ass kicked

[Gojiranight101]

thumbs up i f you cried when mickey died

[SuperLukek]

@Gojiranight101 true, true

[ryanbob1000]

@Gojiranight101

I swear to God man that is one of the saddest momments in movie history what made it so sad is that Rocky couldn't tell Mickey that he lost

[Mangler41]

This one's my favorite. Clubber is the man. Even as a kid, the guy was too funny to hate. It was tight when he got involved in WWF TV with Hogan BITD

[aBDKstan]

This is easily the worst Rocky movie in my opinion.

[22celticboy]

@aBDKstan what about rocky 5

[aBDKstan]

@22celticboy That wasn't as bad as people say. It's the second worst though.

[a2ilool]

one of my favorites

[UltimateHobo77]

i didnt hate clubber lang i thought he was epic : )

[ForceMaximus84]

My personal favorite of the sequels.

[dukepro95]

i think this is the worst rocky because it is so sad.not to mention apollo giving rocky a hard time during the training.

[ksf95]

in soviot russia (rocky 4) the fool pities YOU

[TheDeceptabot]

Man, during the montage you can tell Rockey is runing HARD.

[spaceman1979]

@TheDeceptabot Right he was, he was juiced up to his eyeballs.

[casketofdog]

i started jumping rope cause of rocky movies :)

and doing one hand pushups :)

[casketofdog]

i started jumping rope cause of rocky movies :)

[Andyatallah]

@casketofdog

I lost 30 KG cause of rocky :-D

[lolzman7]

@Andyatallah in soviet russia ( rocky 4 ) rocky lost 30 Kg cause of you

[TheCruzMovies]

should've kept it as a trilogy

[IMZEECATMAN]

when mickey died, it was one of the few times i cried in movies

[ShadowVector175]

I think why Apollo joined Rocky because he though this, the enemy of my enemy, is my friend!

[HelloFade2]

Did they use some kind of camera trick in Rocky III to make Hulk Hogan look bigger than he really was, i mean he is huge in this movie,most any place else ive sen him,he's a big guy sure but he's not THAT big.

[SniperKillerS2010]

anyone else notice the color guard(U.S marines) just standing still as hell when rocky and cluber lang are in a pre figth at 1:59

[omalor]

I pity the 34 fools who clicked on thumbs down, ah screw it, I want Clubber Lang to punch their heads off!

[medaugh]

@omalor 35 now

[kewltyler44]

@omalor its a clubberfuck!!!! LOL

[bentony12]

@omalor u have 34 thumbs up lol

[ForceMaximus84]

My favorite of the Rocky sequels!!

[achefefreitas]

Man I used to shit my pants with Clubber Lang when I was a little girl, I just love this movie and all series so much!

[mymalovenaka]

It's sad in rocky 4 the black guy not clber Lang that guy dies by will you now now the best bad guy is the bad guy in rocky 4 sad :(!!

[battlestarmarc]

Great film, Clubber Lang was a cool bad guy.

[MannebachFeatDBG]

i love mr t

he's the born bad guy

i would have loved to see him fight creed or drago

[omegadragon1000]

I WOULD CHECK THIS MOVIE OUT, BUT I DONT HAVE IT..... GODDAMMIT!!!

[cranfield1]

this has the best ending of all rocky films, the fade to black then to a painting image is absolutely amazing

[GeorgVanHalen]

Many seem to claim that Rocky III (IV, V and Rocky Balboa) ain't much of movies. As a Rocky fan I can admit that these movies are quite "silly" and far from being "the greatest ever" in terms of being realistic or have excellent acting. But as you point out. It's ENTERTAINS. In terms of PURE entertainment.. it's hard to find a movie better than Rocky III. It has the funny quotes, emotion, music.. every thing to just make the time fly!

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

@GeorgVanHalen Very true. I've been watching the Rocky movies lately and now that I'm older than when I first saw them I've noticed a lot of ridiculously unrealistic moments in these films, but they're all very entertaining :D

[rode2fame]

I pity the fool! Lol

[Wired2X]

Sometimes charity hurts.... so true, so true.

[ghostwhiskey]

why does rockys i.q.seem to go up when he becomes wealthy?

[Zachthekingsfan]

i started laughing when i saw that hulk hogan was in this film, thats literally somthing i thought id never see in a rocky movie :P

[HorridDreams]

Rocky III & IV = over-the-top action flicks

[zakiemon]

That's really cool how Apollo is Rocky's first challenge and then becomes his trainer and them Rocky avenges Apollo. REally cool.

[dephzilla]

thunder lips is fricking giant

[Klookko]

I pity the fool who doesn't like Rocky

[terriblefilms]

I remeber crying when Mickey died in this film. It's a good comeback story...even with the hogan scene.

[MikeZ778]

just my opinion.....Rocky 3 and 4 were the best, 5 was the worst...

[RkoWrestlingfan228]

Dam Hogan was so epic in the movie, but so....er....meh in the WWF.

[ChelseaFanFC26]

Stallone himself said Rocky 3 is the the 2nd best Rocky Movie made only (behind the First Movie). Rocky 3 is a incredible move with a fantastic plot, former foe helps his former rival Awesome.

[Gphazor]

in the final fight between rocky and lang, the fight only goes through three rounds. Aren't there around 11 rounds in a boxing match? (back then i think it was 15 rounds) if so, then the final fight was pretty short.

[LanceK17]

Rocky 4 (Over The Top Epicness) 11/10

Rocky (Legendary, Inspiring) 10/10

Rocky 2 (Best sequel you could ask for) 10/10

Rocky Balboa (Nostalgic overload) 10/10

Rocky 3 (Over The Top but not as Epic as 4) 9/10

Rocky 5 (Not as bad as they say, still great) 9/10

[raoulhery]

1:46!!! seems so gay

[hobocamptheater]

if eye of the tiger means a defective eye

[legolevi999]

your reviews are the best

[expIorer5148]

that clubber guy was so badass!! God damn, if i had to fight him, i would piss my pants, lick them dry, and piss on 'em again before i'd even make eye contact with him.

He's such a savage animal! Great acting by Mr. T

[Shanethefilmmaker]

before eye of the tiger it was originally gonna be another one bites the dust, but that didn't happen, and you're the best but that was moved to karate kid.

[TBSful]

the incredible hulk hogan !!! now that's a legend

[Jeebiaja]

I don't hate balboa.. but I pity the fool!

[jasonhylnd001]

Clubber lang is my all time favorite villain.

[9jay10]

This is my 2nd favorite , Clubber Lang Sucked in the rematch and had his @#$ handed to him.

[calideson]

Such a great series (well, except 5). Good job James!

[ECL28E]

Response to Hogan match: When Charity hits home, it REALLY hits

[goldenthoth]

now mr. t. is a preacher..."I PITY THE FOOL THE DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST!!!"

[musikfanat]

The best part is when Mr.t beats the heck out of Rocky. The rest is all Hollywood crap. Mr.T should have taken out a tire iron and finished him off for good (I read that in a review when the film first came out and it wasn't a black reviewer that said it...)

[IntolerableWaste]

personally, this is my favourite

[dragonfr746]

@IntolerableWaste i second that buddy! rocky was in his prime here,no one could touch him! but james clubber lang was a tough son a bitch...

[Schumi1224]

i think i know why the rocky 5 street fight wasn't included in as a non time lapse fight sequence cuz rocky 5 never happened.

[CalgarSkull]

Great review by AVGN I love his humor in giving these reviews thanx a lot. I am also more informed on what to expect in the film now as well.

[tthomaselli2]

"I don't hate Balboa, but, I pity the fool!...".

[XcoolzX17]

i dont hate balboa but i pity the fool

[tthomaselli2]

In reference to the Balboa/Thunder-Lips fight, AVGN says "It has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, but, it's entertaining as hell.".; That's the whole point.

[T94OWH]

I PITY THE FOOL!

[SuperMvC3]

@T94OWH yes you do : D

[shamsham1010]

@T94OWH SHUT UP FOOL!

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

this movie INTRODUCED Mr T??? I didnt know that.

[Hoktail]

Mr. T :3

[MrZodion]

this is the best. lang and drago is cool. the lang match is just awesome and dragos match is so dramatic

[Boxer80825]

What's your prediction?

My prediction?

Yes, your prediction

Pain.

[marko5280]

Clubber Lang=Best Opponent Over!!!

[Minesweeper101]

no Ivan drago is

[BlueYoshiGamer]

I gotta admit this is the first review by james that wasn't great :( He didn't say anything about how rocky wasn't really trying at first when apollo was training him and then adrian gives that big speech and rocky comes back. That was a very big part of the movie and I'm not sure why james didn't mention it

[Richmarkhill78]

It's just a short 3 min review, what's the point giving away all the plot points?

[zack19862008]

it also sets up Mickys heart problems....

[TheDarklordganon]

@zack19862008

this 'idiot' is James Rolfe who is a celeberity in reviewing so shut your fuckhole

[zack19862008]

so being a celebrity indicates intelligence and validates stupid assertions? you're obviously someone who feels tough by using harsh language online, grow some sprouts and get a girlfriend

[porcshops]

dude i give you words back to you, grow up, get a girlfriend stop being such a little bitch, james is awesome get over it

[nusucker]

Fear?, Thunderlips is a Wrestler what does his job, Entertaining.., and its James Choice when he didn´t like the Wrestler Scene then so be it, and btw i like it it shows how slow down Rocky has become, that he is just a Entertainer instat of a Boxer and thats why the Movie became so good, because when Rocky fighted a real hardcore Boxer like Clubber he finaly woke up...

[chomsky88]

To Clubber: Do you have any prediction for the fight? Clubber: Prediction? Interviewer: Yes, prediction (pause) Clubber: Pain. I think sometimes Stallone's writing skills are overlooked. Actually I liked this one better than Rocky 2 because Rocky 2 just felt like the first movie but without the character development and a different outcome. I'm surprised so many people liked Rocky 4 because his win made no sense; in Rocky 3 he wins because he changes his way of fighting. Well each to his own

[anabolic79]

My all time favourite movie

[SuperJaykay93]

I hate how apollo dies in Rocky 4 I mean the guys a legend. Also mickey was great

[BlueYoshiGamer]

Well isn't that what makes the movie so great? They meant to do that to the audience so you would would be crush one of the biggest and the most lovable charators dies so you acutely want rocky to win and take it more serious then just a movie. God I love rocky movies

[eddyownage]

i think rocky is still the same guy from the first movies here, he is just safisticated because he is champion and has a family, you can still see his character come back a little from time to time.

It's still a great rocky movie.

[Freakingpanda1]

Clubber Langs attitude was so entertaining. I mean, the man is a beast :D

[studioarts100]

@Freakingpanda1 DUHHHHHhh Its M.r T MAN MR.T!!!!!!!!!!!

[EditRealityGaming]

@Freakingpanda1

Just look at The glichs AVGN. Hes a clubber F*ck XD

[zmforged]

@Freakingpanda1

And hungry, devious, devastating, ferocious and most brutal two fist knockouter in the film history :)

[dbreiden83080]

Rocky 3 for life

[HiragaSait0]

lool hulk hogan ftw!!

[tremmortrevor]

what did mickey know about clubber lang's insane strength?

[ListWritingMachine]

he just knew he was a better fighter and Rocky ever since Creed was just fighting a bunch of people who sucked and yeah

[dylanob8]

beacuse he watched clubber lang on his winning strike

[Finstahy]

@tremmortrevor

Good Question

[mgeldis84]

The "Thunder lips" scene has to with inspiration for the first rocky, Chuck Wepner. Wepner wrestled "Andrei The Giant" in Japan. Supposedly the story goes that some time before the match Andrei forgot what they were suppose to do so he turned the match in to a "Shoot" where just about every thing that happened in that scene really happened

[LeufinWaffle]

i love when Paulie whips the bottle at the pinball machiene

[miscguy1]

Rocky 3 is my favorite of the series, but at the same time I think Rocky 1 is the best of the series. Yeah there's a difference.

[rockybalboa1fan]

i like rocky 4 but i like all 6 including ROCKY V

[LuckySailorStar]

1:03- Like a Big Lipped Alligator Moment?

[AlexSevigny89]

A BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT

[SpartanPkr]

Nostalgia critic has his followers i see

[GRIMOPOE1]

Eye of the Tiger reminds me a lot like Push it to the Limit from Scarface.

[Totti2696]

i think that 5 is good but not great

[HobzsMusicChannel]

poor mickey :'(

[fallenangeldemon666]

rocky movies are still epic :)

[fallenangeldemon666]

never seen 5.....

[doogrisa]

rocky 5 is probably the worst one out of the 6.

[anthon8ydan8iel]

yeah

[fallenangeldemon666]

ill be sure not to buy it then lol....im not into the franchise...it seems to obvous for me.

[bioshock116]

yeah i said the same thing to but some how its way different some how im not sayin go buy it or ill cut u but still there really good moives :D

[Raptor89994]

Still a good movie compared to what hollywood throws at us nowadays

[ccayco]

and you rly dont need too.... haha. nah, its not a good movie, but its not horrible like everyone makes it out to be.

[fallenangeldemon666]

idk why it is so bad but w/e

[sexysensation]

Another Fatastic review

[sdsouthpark1234]

I dont get why everyone hates rocky 3 & 4. I think there all good. (except rocky 5) But really you shouldn't be looking for the stupid elements of a movie, you should just be able to recognise how entertaining the movie is.

[wesscoast]

@sdsouthpark1234

Yeah, um... who hates Rocky 4? That's insane. It's incredible. I guess the Haute Film School Types would rather the movies had ZERO boxing in them.. ;)

[1313131313113]

@sdsouthpark1234 i think rocky 5 is awesome as well not the best but still awesome

[1313131313113]

@sdsouthpark1234 i think rocky 5 is awesome as well not the best but still a great film

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@1313131313113 i love it too, i love the fight.

[legolevi999]

@sdsouthpark1234 i agree i love rocky 3 and 4 but hate rocky 5

[hombrear]

@sdsouthpark1234 I don't think everyone hates them, i always see people saying they're awesome,i like them too,but i prefer 1 and 2 are more classic :P

[johnsnake71]

@sdsouthpark1234 yea they hate 3&4 and you hate 5 its even

[MovieMan9991]

@sdsouthpark1234 I definately agree man, I watched 3 & 4 when I was a little kid, and I loved them, some people really over-react to these movies, sure they can be un-realistic, but honestly who cares?. So I agree with you. Also Rocky V was the black sheep, I mean it was pretty bad, but the street fight ending was frickin awesome, (in my opinion).

[Gibix]

The only beef I have against this movie is the part where he jumps up and down with Apollo in the gayest way >.>

[mrhollister09]

LMAO, yeah that was extremely homo. (No offense to gays whatsoever)

[eddyc09]

the worst rocky movie

[ptlw09]

wht about 5 ?

[eddyc09]

5 is still better

[AwesomeAznGuy2]

AH PI DEE DA FOO

[Schaurfshutze]

I always find one scene from this movie that is a little disturbing......when Rocky hugs Apollo on that beach, oh boy.

[Vaddern112]

Me too.

[Jeffarules]

the fight with thunderlips didnt mean anything except if you watch it is the first sign of mickeys heart beginning to fail on him but anyways great review as always!

[KrackosStorm]

MR.T IS AWESOME

[spideyrockz4ever]

call me an idiot, but what does the T in Mr. T stand for? is it an abbreviation of his real name or just a nickname?

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

spideyrockz4ever, Mr. T's real name is Laurence Tureaud, so it's his initial.

[spideyrockz4ever]

cool, thanks =) I've been wondering about that for a long time

The stats from that remat
