Rocky Balboa vs Hulk Hogan -Making Of (Rocky III)

[marcusosborne1]

I just wish I'd heard those priceless words come out of Rocky's mouth: 'Hulk Hogan, we comin' for you Nigga!'

[B2B76]

@TheOriginalThreeP "Better call Bob Hope."

[marathon1974]

Thunderlips: "The ultimate male versus the ultimate meatball." lol

[Hartebreaker84]

Arnie would have had the hulk he took out HHH too lol!

[shootbinary]

It would have been better if this role came a few years later when Hogan had developed his promo style (especially his voice) and had a director who let him do more of his own thing...too bad this acting part was the peak of his acting "career" and gave him such a big head. I mean he seriously thought he could make a living at it and he was always terrible...

[Dukesfan1980]

@shootbinary have you noticed how much more massive and heavy sly looks in more modern movies like Rocky Balboa, and the newest Rambo ? He is thick and still has the definition, He looks way stronger and in better shape than hogan dose these days, if they were to do the Rocky vs Thunderlips scene today i dont think it would have the same visual effect.

[Derby14]

@Dukesfan1980 That is a very good point...the scale would appear to be a lot closer to balanced these days.

[Dukesfan1980]

@Derby14 right, glad you agree.. When i saw Sly in the last Rocky a few years ago, i thaught he looks massive, but then when i saw him in the last Rambo, he looked like a damn monster, tall, buff and thick. Then i look at Hogan these days on TNA, and on tv commercials,There is no way Hogan is 6' 7" 300 lbs, Hes a big dude, but he looks so much smaller now, maybe 6' 3" 275, a lot of his definition is gone and hes gotten slow. Sly would mop the floor with him today.

[Jonwood74]

@Dukesfan1980 Hogan has lost some height due to cartilage damage and spine deformation. A result of wear and tear from the ring and probably steroids as well. Back in the day he was atleast 6'6".

[Dukesfan1980]

@Jonwood74 when most wrestlers get older, they do seem shorter because of back, knee, ankle, and hip damage, but still lots of people say that back in the older days promoters stretched the truth a little about the big guys, lots of people today argue about Andre, some people say he was really 7 foot even and others say 7' 4" or 7' 5" was the truth, and ive heard some think Big John Studd was really 6' 7" instead of 6' 10".

[Jonwood74]

@Dukesfan1980 Yeah I'm aware of that but I'm 6'3" and have stood near Hogan and he was taller than me by atleast 3 inches. That was back in the day. I really don't know how tall he is now though. But if you compare footage of him standing next to mcmahon in the '80's and then in the 2000's you'll see he has shrunk considerably unless Mcmahon has grown lol.

[Dukesfan1980]

@Jonwood74 speaking of Mcmahon, what do you think about that new story line last week when Vince was about to fire Cena, then HHH came out and told Vince that the WWE board had a meeting, and they all voted to make Vince step down, and HHH was voted in as his replacement to take over the company.

[Jonwood74]

@Dukesfan1980 I think anytime the wwe has HHH and Vince in the ring they're better off. I'm sure Vince will be the boss again soon enough. I'm not up to date on wrestling scoops these days so I'm not sure if CM Punk is really gone....Is he? If he is, it sure was an interesting choice to have Cena lose to him. Controversy is always good.

[Jonwood74]

@Dukesfan1980 Just to make one more comment on the Hogan height issue...back in the '80's Hogan was always listed as 6'8" 302 lbs. Atleast that's what the Madison Sq. Garden programs always said. So if he was really 6'6" then that would not contradict what you said about them boosting stats.

[RMilvae]

Kick Ray Ramanos ass Hulk!

[LaurieJames]

is that stallone singeing?

[xXxvictoriaxXxx]

@LaurieJames No

[Metatarsal]

1.. 2.. NO NO NOT YET NOT FOR THE "MEATBALL"

[mazen10Q]

أنتم بقر جميعا مضحوك عليكم

[lck79]

old but precious memories. thx stallone and hogan for being there during my childhood moment.

[mulay7]

shit hulks a beast

[wanaply9]

Sweet!

[Deathclok]

Drago > Hogan

[Srd1126]

The "boxer/wrestler" scene in "Rocky III" took longer to film than the entire "Rocky I" movie.

[xtncord]

Hogan actually raped Stallone and that's why they were never seen to hang out again, even thought Hulk said they are good friends. He inducted him into the HoF because Hogan called up and threatened him with his 24" (radius) python (again).

[5aintLink]

Lol, Hulk Hogan aka Thunderlips always cracks me up in Rocky III

[mikefranky]

" Why are they carrying him"...They not!...he's walking!!

[TotalRockyTube]

How cool! Thank you for posting!!

[kozmon0t]

Sylvester Stallone is only 5 foot 8

Hulk Hogan was much better as a heel, he was the cheesiest face in history

[takis223]

meatball!

[Dav1dZMan]

I'd even strangle my mother...

[smoke126857]

Thunderlips baby!

[rocky9298]

BLASTOFF MEATBALL !

[mmmikeyxx]

Hogan being honest even before he was famous lmao

[TheBruT4L1ty]

lol@ Thunder Lips ''Strangling '' his mother. wtFz'?

[duprez2]

Hulkamania was born in Rocky III

[zhesandman]

its funny how stallone said the leg drop from hogan was probably one of the most painful things he has ever experienced

[gunga70]

"for the right price I'd even strangle my mother" LOL

[LA6616]

look what people had to go through to make it in the business back in the days!

unlike today, where you just have to suck a dick or give up some ass to get a break!

[getodachoppa1]

Damn Hogan was SCARY back then!

[SweetWhiskerz]

Rocky 3 had some of the greatest scenes ever,and this is one of them

[brianmilliganfanpage]

Mr. Brian Milligan was a fan of Hulk Hogan from the beginning. Well played once again Brian. You just keep on winning.

[RAV52]

The Hulkster at the peak of his follicle greatness!

[artofpoetry]

sly was hot in this movie.

[Domodeath]

:O Rocky fought the Hulk???

[selig7]

rocky is the worst fighter ive ever seen on a technical level.. he lacks all fundamentals they teach you when you first start boxing.. if this was real he would never win a fight..

[turo9992000]

@selig7 That's the whole point of rocky, the only reason he is able to win is because of his heart.

[trashbash2001]

@selig7 "cant have your cake and eat it too". If they were to put a REAL fighter in the movie, he wouldnt have been able to act. Ever seen the movie 'drumline'. I was a drummer like those guys, and i tell ya, they all SUCK.

[RealDefentertainment]

For The Right PRICE , For The Right MONEY & at the Right TIME I would Even Strangle my mother!!

Hollywood Hogan!! Great quote for you kids

[theatlantean2]

Thanks for posting this, mate. I was about 12 years old when this came out (1983)? This movie really put Hulk Hogan on the map; the Univeral map. I was such huge fan of his after this movie, and followed him ever since. He practically reached "mythological" status with kids back then. Beauty..............

[Silverbullet804]

Stallone looks so tiny compared to Hogan.

[purelh]

ha hogan when he had some hair on his head 

[xosmvxo912]

damn,sylvester was extremely good looking the Rocky movies

[Tom6093]

" Why did you get so touph on me out there"

" Thats the name of the game."

[hpdragon723]

That was a cool fight to watch.

[GrandFunker]

Umm...it's Rocky vs Thunderlips, not Hulk Hogan lol!

[getodachoppa1]

stallone taking bumps from hogan, what a trooper

[dorlandosonic]

This is fun to see, is there 'more making of' footage with Hogan?

[soto1080]

what is the song?,please,thnaks

[superlex611]

i wish sly's doing his stunt

[lovham89]

wow you think rocky isbig think you hulk and next you can think you andre the giant that is big

[Djteedoe420]

All of the Rocky films is AWESOME...

[geropac]

@Djteedoe420 except rocky 5 and rocky balboa.....-__-

[Djteedoe420]

@geropac -WELL.. i enjoy all the rocky movies

[vaazon]

@geropac Nope! Rocky Balboa was a nice ending for series. Rocky forever!

[superlex611]

@Djteedoe420 except the 5th one

[TarisRedwing]

good fight. what I wanna know was that really stallon pickin hogans big ass up at the end when he thoug him out? If so I gotta give him some props, Hogan's a big boy......Hulkamania!!!! 4 Life

[colotron]

@TarisRedwing Whaaaa? when did he do that?

[itsheartyguy]

hogan dosent look so huge infront of average people in hogan knows best but why does he look so huge infront of stallone?? how tall is stallone in real???

[smmforum]

Hogan was about 6-7 or 6-8 then, while Stallone is about 5-9. So it's about a foot difference in height. Hogan is supposedly only about 6-5 now due to leg injuries/surgeries, while Stallone looks a little taller than 5-9 because he wears lifts in his shoes all the time.

[VigisKane]

@smmforum Hulk said himself he was 6'6 in his prime,he is 6'3 now

[thelordmemnoch]

@VigisKane Ain't that something? And here I always thought that Andre really was seven feet tall. He was closer to 6'7 or 6'8. That would explain the size difference between them all. Sly was always considered short, but he was average being about 5'9-5'10. I grew up on wrestling so I always thought all of that was real. Ah, the ignorance of the young.

[VigisKane]

@thelordmemnoch andre was 6 foot 11

[colotron]

@thelordmemnoch Andre was definatly 7ft or over in his youth but he couldnt have been 6ft 7 cos when he fought Hogan at Wrestlemania 3 he was quite a bit taller than Hogan and he was 6ft 8 legit

[bandit7498]

@thelordmemnoch Andre was around 7 ft tall. I know they bill the guys in wrestling a bigger than they are. They had Andre at 7'4". He might not have been quite that tall, but he was close. I'll give you a good example. Remember when Big Show came out? He was around the same size as Andre. Well, there's a clip on here of Big Show vs Shaquille O'niel, who stands 7'2", and they're pretty close to the same height. Seeing Hogan next to Andre and Big Show looks pretty close to the same difference.

[bandit7498]

Seeing Hogan next to Andre and Big Show looks pretty close to the same difference.

[thelordmemnoch]

@bandit7498 I don't know, it's hard to tell. Terry Bolea claims to be 6'5" and he wasn't that much shorter than Andre. Then again, he did shrink in his old age. Andre was measured by the French athletic federation and he was 6'10" and he shrunk to 6'7"-6'8" after back surgery. Big show is the same height too and don't forget that most of them wear lifts from time to time. Andre being 7' is not true at all. There is no way that he could have been that tall.

[thelordmemnoch]

@bandit7498 I just say the Big Show vs. Shaq. It sure does look like Big Show is 7 feet tall though Shaq is very powerful looking compared to Big Show. It's tricky getting the height down just right.

[bandit7498]

@thelordmemnoch oh yeah, no doubt. I would just venture to say by these simple comparisons Andre was at least 7', maybe a tad more, considering Andre was probably a little bigger than Big Show. So don't let the mysteries of your childhood escape your imagination just yet. lololol

[colotron]

@itsheartyguy He was 6ft 8 in those days but after 30 years of punishment in the ring he had to have back surgery which means he is now about 6 ft 4

[VigisKane]

@itsheartyguy stallone is average size,5'9,5'10

Hogans 6'6 here

[mizeryluvkompany]

i like when paulie jumps in and hits hogan and he turns around and paulie puts his dukes up and says " i dont sweat you"..lol..and gets laid out..lol..luv these movies and the memories, best movie ever!!

[tornadotp]

Paulie had great lines in all the Rocky movies. Some of my favorites from the match with Thunderlips. When Micky was instructing Rocky to move around the ring and Paulie said "He is the ring!" or when Thunderlips was coming to the ring "Why are they carrying him?"

[mizeryluvkompany]

@tornadotp lol yeah he really helped make the movie, and make it funny in spots, underrated actor

[vidasnake3000]

rocky getting beaten by hulk hogan/thunderlips and mick says as a coach "Runfor your life!!!" hahaha classic

[dhlfh]

Hogan's voice was way different back then..he has a much rougher and deeper voice now...,must have been the steroids that made it deep

[MrFirdauz]

Rocky is the best boxing film ever.....

[getodachoppa1]

Weird hearing hulk speak without the traditional hulkster voice

[eccentricness81]

whats that song???

[bigal9109]

I don't understand why behind the scenes footage of rocky 1 - 5 wasn't included in the blu-ray collection...

[MrMrThomasglas]

Very cool movie!!!!

[Derby14]

This is very cool to see. Look at how Hogan absolutely dwarfs Stallone!! We're so used to seeing huge guys in wrestling these days that I think sometimes we forget about how Hogan was such an attraction in those days due to both his charisma and his tremendous size.

[zmoviefreak]

Thanx for posting.

[tmwnat]

Looks like Brooke

[TheGinoFavara]

Hulk Hogan is here daddy

[armyjohn08]

why are they carrying him rocky ask and mick says he's walking!!

[TheReedBender]

Rocky - "How much dya think he eats?"

Mickey - "About 202 pounds!"

Class.

[CheapJabroni]

@TheReedBender shut up loser.

[seanrrrr]

id even strangle my mother lmao

[jeffhardy6781]

Lady Pank -Zostawcie Titanica

[silverrhawk]

Come On Meatball!

[kyOkUShINkAIxxME]

[robovhull]

i bet they had a right laugh whilst making the films

[razza620]

that back braker over the knee looked pain full

[BradXXXBartender]

"For the right price, for the right money and the right time i'd even strangle my mother! "LOL

[rockybalboa101]

Now why can't mgm put some of these awesome behind the scenes clips in a Rocky dvd boxset?

[kanenkitten]

Considering all this was just for show, Hogan used those moves for real on Stallone because this was before it became public knowledge that pro-wrestling is scripted

[meliachild]

Sly is the man!

[kleyance]

One of the greatest Movie scenes of alltime.

I saw Rocky 3 at a friend on a videorecorder. It was amazing. I never saw a tall an strong men like Hulk Hogan before.

Alltimes great to look again!!!

[parusaca]

God knows how many actors would like to live their lifes the way sly has...I am one of those million by the way....

[aj31313]

[SIMO79SLYFOREVER]

who is the play song music??i would you like want the title of song

[mrkudlak83]

lady pank - zostawcie titanica

[iiLoveRockii]

rocky fought clubber lang in rocky 3 i saw nothing about hulk hogan a lame WWE star

[toriyamaZ]

it was withinn the first half hour... it was a charity match (rocky vs 'thunder lips') that got outta hand when hogan started throwing the cops around etc....

[irishboss29]

in rocky three the movie starts with the charity event of wrestler hulk hogan vs boxer rocky balboa ( even though rockys not a real fighter ) then when rocky announces his retirement clubber lang comes in and gets angry because he claims to be number one fighter so he wants a shot at rocky. you should know what goes on from there.

[philees]

idiot

[MrCARC]

LOL for the right price and the right money i'll even strangle my mother

[danny21uk]

Come onnnnn meatttballllllllllllllllllllll­llllllll

[hayabusafmw]

hogan has his japanese outfit , njpw , because vince fired him he didn't want him to do the movie

that fucker

[ThaTopDogg13]

I just want to let you know your right and wrong because it was Vince McMahon that fired Hogan but it was Vincent  McMahon Sr that fired him not Vince McMahon Jr which is the the current CEO of WWE.

[Originalman320]

Vince Sr. fired Hogan, but Vince Jr. got him back about a year later.

[xXHulkamaniaXx]

Why did Sr. fire him? Vince Jr fired him plenty of thimes to right?

[Originalman320]

Vince Sr. was an old school promoter.  He didn't believe that wrestlers should do movies or something like that.

[Jonasszczuczyn]

heh nie wiedziałem że jesteś polakiem pozdro dopiero się kapnołem po utworze

[ArticulateDon]

"This is to all my love slaves out there, Thunderlips is here, in the flesh BABY..... The Ultimate Male vs The Ultimate Meatball"

[MZMartin]

What the Name of the Song??Its great!!

[szybkisiedlce]

Lady Pank - Zostawcie Tytanica

[ironlemon666]

Nie Tytanica, tylko Titanica :P

[jacekpm]

This song name is Zostawcie Titanica from Lady Pank - the best polish rock band ever!!!

[ncmike36]

I'm disappointed to see this. I saw the movie when I was 13. All these years I thought they were really fighting.

[dexter2k2]

LOL

[j3ohnny]

are you serious? you thought they were fighting it's a movie bro, come on.i'm not try'n to be rude but it's common sense...

[emmiemia]

THUNDER LIPSSSS!!!!!

[theatlantean1]

The "LEGEND" of wrestling. Hulk came along at the perfect time.........There never was before, nor will there ever be again a wrestler who captures the attention of people world-wide, especially kids. He was bigger than life. He had the charisma, the "look", and the "it" factor which only comes around rarely. The greatest professional wrestler of all-time, bar none.

[CircleofShit]

Its a shame hulk hogan became a grumpy over protective father.

[jrjr143]

SO TRUE!! his son made a guy totally cripple , and he feels no remorse for the guy while all the time all he cares about is getting his son off!!!

[DivinePearl]

heh I like Rocky's face at 1:40

[crawhip2]

thunderlips

[mikebryson]

Hulk was a 6'6.5", 321 pound chunk of steal back then! And the man could move well for a monster!

[xenepp]

"At the right time, in the right place and for the right money, I'd even strange my mother."

ROTFL

That must have come back to haunt him LOADS! lol

[iedodger]

Ha! Hogan didn't use his gravelly "Hulkster" voice back then. During the rants at the beginning he sounds like vintage "Superstar" Billy Graham.

[RadioactiveBlood08]

he was doing the same voice, I just think over the years, doing it so much his voice changed.

[airboss212]

he yeah billi graham was the nuber 1

[bigrob981]

thunderlips..."the ultimate male"

you gotta love the perfectly done 80's hair-do of rocky...

[RadioactiveBlood08]

I love it don't worry.

[mikefranky]

I loved this part in the film when hogan is walking towards the ring and rocky says to his trainer" why is he been carried and his trainers reply he's not he is walking"

[Terminator860]

He'd strangle his mum? Nasty man.

[teehulk]

I truly love this movie!! This part was a good reason why. It was action packed and yet comedic. Rare for a third version, IMHO, to out due its forefather.

[RadioactiveBlood08]

It was a good film but Rocky II beats it.

As does Rocky IV.

[CTHULUgreatoldone]

he sure loooked younger then.

[res1yt7x]

hulk hogan was surely a beast back then! for all those hogan haters, they gotta look at his old vintage wrestling days where he could actually wrestle.

[RadioactiveBlood08]

He sure was a beast in his day.

[brnleague99]

Thunderlips is HERE! In the flesh, BABY!!!

[FCRocky2010]

hulk hogan's name was thunderlips

[Starsky5000]

Good Stuff. Didn't even know it existed!

[pegash4rk]

i forgot hogan's name in rocky 3..thunderlips or sumthing..

[Lol8922]

They did trow real punches :O

[LeeMorTatchi]

Great Goldmill...rest in peace..

[Grinta23]

Tanks !!!

[TylerDurden398]

What song is this?

[szybkisiedlce]

Lady Pank - Zostawcie Tytanica

[guitarbandit7498]

Funny how we can see stuff like this on youtube but the studios won't release special features for the movies on DVD except for the 1st and last Rocky movies. Fans want more...

[lfcandanfield]

couldnt agree more i love stuff like this behind the scenes

[manns101101]

ab so LOOT ely my friend - mor stuff especially rocky 4 pls!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaxDefender]

Awesome rare stuff!

Thanks for posting!

[PAWEL9974021]
