  • One of Elton's best...just love this song!

  • thats the Measure of  a Man

  • Comment removed

  • sensational song only heard it last night for first time.

  • R.I.P. Joe Frazier, as much as Rocky Balboa is an awesome, inspiring, great fictional character, there has to be a statue of Joe Frazier in Philadelphia

  • Get up because Micky Loves you.

  • Rocky, Rocky III, Rocky II, Rocky IV, Rocky V, Rocky Balboa, perfect list.

  • The first Rocky was the only good one, just as First Blood was the only good Rambo film. Stallone should have let others guide his career and kept his mouth shut and all the uber patriotic crap out of them all.

  • @jmsdxtr He had a wonderful career and it is still going! How is yours?

  • @kalinwang1 That he had a wonderful career is debatable. That people will go see crappy films is obvious. Since you don't know me, motherfucker, I'd say that your ad hominem attack on me is bullshit. And my career is just fine. At least I don't have to go and wrap myself in the flag as a means of trying to bolster a flagging career, ala Rambo, Rocky repeats.

  • I like all Rocky movies!

  • @zsupersaiyan So do I Rocky Movies shows a young men how to be a men for the rest of their live

  • amazing song! just beautiful!

  • most people say . rocky V isn´t good .

    i think that Rocky V is better than Rocky 3 and 4 .

    but rocko 1 and 2 are the best

  • @R3dFl4g77 so is the last.. its the most touching..

  • I respect 1. I thought 2 was better. I like 3. But I think Mr. T overdid it. 4 was just propaganda. I like how 5 dealt with deception.

    I feel Sly lost the essence in 3 and 4. And Mr. Avildsen brought it back in 5. I like how 5 was a lot less predictable

    I also like how we could feel sad as Tommy degenrated. (And with temptations that were difficult to ignore.)

    GW Duke was SO bad. But he was also HILARIOUS. I found myself cheering for him. I felt bad for him when Rocky KOed him.

  • i am baffled by the fact that even 11 people disliked this...These were the most inspirational movies ever and these credits in particular make me cry everytime! i love this movie and this song sooo much!

  • I want this played at my funeral!

    

  • Why do people have to bring up Justin fuckin gay Bieber on every music video on youtube. Just enjoy the music.

  • ELTON JOHN IS IRREPLACEABLE!

    <3 AND OF COURSE STALLONE!

  • 11 people do not have the measure of a man

  • great song from a great series of movies!!!

  • Sly may have given this a 0/10. But really. Its not a bad movie. I just think its more over the top then rocky IV. If that is even possible

  • @TheMarkz0ne I'm one of the few who feels that V was actually the best one,. The end song + credits only clinched my high opinion of this film.

    If Sly didn't like it, he really does have brain damage. Rather than sticking with THE SAME FORMULA, V takes an INTERESTING turn and focuses on corruption and deception. Also, it's very possible that the people who made "STAR WARS" III ('Revenge of the Sith') looked at this film.

    I view 4 as terrible. J. Avildsen restored the essence with V.

  • @eternalhalloween1 I wouldn't say the best, but Rocky V does not deserve the title as the worst. It definetly brought a new emotion to the series that the others didn't. Plus it was interesting to see Rocky not get back into the ring, but still fight Tommy. All in all, I felt it was a far better story than III or IV.

  • A song written by Alan Menken ( words and music) and performed by Elton John? YES!

  • The ending credits were better than the movie.. but the series were in general the most influencial, and emocional movies I've ever seen!

  • @MSNDBZ24 Amen, brother

  • @MSNDBZ24 Could not agree with you more on how they are influential and emotional movies

  • @MSNDBZ24 better than the movie ?? no way man

  • @R3dFl4g77 i thought this was the worst movie of the series.. not too bad overall, but compared to others, this was just not good enough :(

  • I'm not jealous of rooney his bank account. and that's why you're a fan of him? to be his whore? and then he can pay you a lot maybe? and my English is not perfect but I can at least write it. otherwise try once again to speak or write my language! No understanding!. Here are a few words for you...klootkop, lulzuiger,jij bent een kloot,smeerlap,...and that my boy must sting for you!!!

  • Best ending credits ever.

  • Before I heard this song, I don't now what is going happen in my life, my now I know, I will be strong, fight, and be happy when I turn old man, doesen't matter what happen, nobody needs "a golden medal" see in the mirror, and you will now who you are

    THANKS ROCKY!!!!

  • rocky films are classic! nothin can beat them

  • How did this song never become a hit single? It's not even mentioned on Elton John's discography.

  • @Agg6 Yeah, I saw that many time... It's a shame, this song is really beautiful, especially if you're a Rocky fan ! ;)

  • Shame such a nice song had to acompany such an abysmal film.

  • Its not often that we come across movies, songs or make-believes that can truly inspire.. that can truly help. This song complements the movie and vice-versa.

    I like it truly!

  • Fuck Bieber Elton John has a billion more talent

  • who in the right fucking mind would dislike this? this my friends is real 'entertaiment'. a classic move with REAL music to back it up.

    i cant begin to say the amount of life lessons the rocky series have taught me, and this song has helped me go through so much in my life so far.

    its just overall amazing. congratz to stallone for a great movie and elton john for a great pieace of music.

  • legends are those that make them..... kiss ours that are live for us... now cry!!!

  • fantasyczny kawałek. W połączeniem z historia Rocky'ego mistrzostwo!!

  • To any little twit who thinks this song is not as good as Justin Bieber, let Bieber challenge Rocky int he ring. that is one fight I would love to see. I could see Bieber pummeled and little idiots cry :)

  • super générique! 20/20

  • YO ADRIAN! I DID IT :') Sly Stallone you're a legend... Rocky Balboa, you're an inspiration <3

  • What genre would you say this is?

  • I like how everyone thinks this is an Elton John song, or at least partly written by him. It's not! It's 100 % Alan Menken, music and lyrics.

    It was originally written for Bob Seger, but Elton ended up doing the vocals.

  • If i was trained by Mickey Goldmill i would be in ideal proportios:)

  • Sly acted as Rocky made more money than Tyson Hollyfield, and Ali together

  • If you have a true soul and are a passionate person, you love this song and this movie series undeniably it moves you.

  • Rocky V should have never been made, in my honest opinion. Thank God Sly made it up in '06 with ROCKY BALBOA. Perfect way to end the franchise.

  • @herociouz I actually think the Rocky V ending was better.

  • This song really fits Rocky Marciano.... ='(

  • Wonderful lyrics, music and voice .... !! 10/10

  • EVERY WORD IN THIS SONG IT FITS ON MY LIFE, EVEN NOWADAYS (WHAT A SONG)

  • Listen to this lyrics people

    This is music how it must be

    Not that bieber shit

    bieber,and all that other shit

  • @glennrosbach Well done for bringing up Justin Bieber on this video, you fucking moron. People like you are worse than Bieber fans.

  • @Meteddica shut the f..ck up you piece of shit!!! go suck bieber's pussy!!!

  • @glennrosbach You're the one who brought him up on an Elton John video. Got a thing for young boys, have we?

  • @Meteddica you are sick!!! Now ''craig'' the only people that is worse than bieber fans is you with your soccer club fans..... oh did i say something wrong??? did i make you cry now??? go cry with rooney and drive his ass open!!!! and you now what i mean whit all that other shit??? well shit people loke YOU!!!!

  • @glennrosbach Your English is offensively terrible. But yeah, I'm sorry I like better sports than you do. Wayne Rooney has more in his bank account right now than you'll accumulate in your lifetime. How does that make you feel, fatty? In fact, so does Justin Bieber. That must sting!

  • @glennrosbach Right iam 25 from Holland Rocky teached me ass a kid to make something out off my self Elton John Understands There is more in life then Football

  • Lurrvv this song! Just finished watching Rocky V- best set of movies ever made :D

  • This seem a bit sped up?

  • @dorkusmaximus333

    Yes, this is sped up. By one frame, exactly. The standard for European and Middle Eastern film footage is 25 frames per second, whereas everywhere else it is 24 frames per second. One of the ways of converting the footage is just to speed it up by one frame...however, this raises the pitch of all the audio. Anytime you watch a YouTube video of an American movie that sounds slightly higher-pitched or sped up, that means it's coming from a European source.

  • theres a bit of negativity towards rocky V, not sure why. personally i enjoyed this one alot, the street fight at the end is fucking mad.

  • @amor987654321

    My guess is that the reason this movie was received so poorly was just an issue of timing. It came too soon after the last Rocky movie, which itself came too soon. Pasta is a great meal, but even I'd get sick of it if it was served every other night....that's kinda how it was with the Rocky movies. They were often too close together.

  • @TheShockMaster The timing was a definite part. So many sequels so soon was very gratuitous. But the story seemed lacking too, with Rocky ending up right back where he started with nothing to show for all his pain and efforts. There were some continuity problems too, like how his son goes from a near toddler to a near teenager. The fact that this movie was so clearly based off the story of Mike Tyson, who was starting to already be much maligned by then, didn't help either.

  • great song for the film andbest Elton song by far

  • Watching is crying.

    Nice song.

    Nice images.

  • rocky is a legend and my hero

  • I always thought that this was the best part of Rocky 5! :D

    The credits actually made me cry! The movie though made me laugh! :D 

  • 8 people are not a man.

  • Why is this version playing back so fast?

  • elton rules! so does sly!

    

  • Great emotion song

  • heh_ÄÑÿõnÉ_wÁnnÃ_chãt_wÌth_më_­Ï_fêél_sò_lÕÑelý_todâY≡

  • the 8 ppl who disliked...were deffo unmeasured women ;) (not being sexist so dont have a go) :)

  • the theme song 4 every boxer

  • @ichirima Its the theme song for every MAN not just a boxer :)

  • Elton on helium! Love it!

  • ahora puedes amar, ahora puedes perder, ahora puedes escoger , esa es la medida de un hombre

  • ROCKY!!! ROCKY!!!! ROCKY!!!

    The best Saga of Movies

    Grettings from Colombia

  • The 8 dislikes are all from Russia!

  • Couldn't have found a better song for the ending :)

  • Not a big Elton John fan but I love this song tho...real talk

  • Pretty much sums the entire Rocky Saga in 235 awesome seconds

  • Buen soundtrack de Rocky V

  • Buen soundtrack de todos los rockys

  • geiler song gänsehaut :-)

  • This song is unequivocally the BEST song in all of cinema. Elton Jon is a great man.

  • The MGM Lion roaring at the end is so fitting.

  • My favorite lines are:

    - " You're out of time, your out of place, look at your face. That's the measure of a man ".

    - " Now you can love, now you can lose, now you can chose. " That's the measure of a man ".

  • 8 people pressed dislike by accident

  • @Jayme501 those are just haters

  • @Jayme501 I think so lol

  • This song is fantastic beyond words! Elton's melody is increbible, his voice perfect. BUT does anyone know who wrote the words? AND was the song written for the movie? Thanks. :)

  • @MrsDelle Alan Menken wrote the song and composed it with Elton... Menken is best known for his work on Disney movies such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast and Aladdin.

  • @BillyBoy5353 Thank you so much for the help. :)

  • I down loaded this song on cd, my wife can't dig it. All the s__t I've been through and this song says sooooo much. Alot of times, us men are over looked and forgotten, but if you really listen to the lyrics you could really comprehend the trials of a real man. The BS , the raising of a family, the keeping in line around the familia and of course keeping your past under wrap. It's a lot, but as real men we do it, hooooaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

  • the stability in one's life's dive, is a result of the displacement his presence produces

  • I never thought I would ever hear myself saying this about an Elton John song, but this is a fantastic song. I had a Rocky marathon over the last few days, and watching these credits at the end of Rocky V brought back memories.

    One thing though, the song sounds sped up in this video that was posted. Was this done intentionally? If it was, you should have posted it as is, and left the song alone.

  • @EternallyLloyd Back on the beat,

    Back to the start

    Trust in your heart

    That's the measure of a man

    It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand

    It's the things you understand

    Permanent ties from which you once ran

    That's the measure of a man

  • some of my most memorable quotes are from the Rocky movies:

    "It's not about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit" Rocky 6

    "Going that extra round when you dn't think you can, that what makes the difference in your life" Rocky 4

  • This is the best thing about Rocky 5...and that's not a dig at the film.

  • i loves them all but 3.....till the day i die i will still love them all...i gues even 3 =D

  • A mon grand' père...

  • thank god for rocky 6, rocky 5 was the only rocky i didnt like all that much... mainly because of his pussy son , how dissapointing of a champion

  • when my son reaches his early teens and starts to get invovled in sport etc, i will have to introduce him to rocky...can't wait !!!!!

  • my ears came.

  • I wasn't keen on this one but Rocky 6 redeemed it.

  • jiangiha, exact reason why I like basketball, along with all the fancy dunks. If you can't dunk yet, you need to start practicing. I definitely recommend you to try the one I'm using - (50 inch vertical [dot] com) - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

  • Cain Velasquez!

  • bella la canzone, stupendo il film, vai rocky sei grande!

  • Rocky V was a terrible movie, but I like this song.

  • One of the BEST movies EVER!!! Rocky WE LOVE YOU IN SERBIA!!!

  • Great song, shitty movie.

  • Goose-bumps. 

  • en pocas palabras espectacular :D

  • Great film...Great song!!! really sad looking back when he was in his prime....and knowing you will never see another boxing film that comes close to this. Bravo!!

  • He's a figher. Not just as a boxer, he's a fighter in life. He won't ever let a small thing keep him down, he has the heart of a lion and the eye of the tiger.

  • The credits were the best part of the movie.

  • @L1VEWIRE718

    lol, u probably right too

  • @L1VEWIRE718 hahahahahahaha omg so funny

  • @L1VEWIRE718 the street fight was pretty badass the rest of the film was ok

  • This was the best part of a thoroughly shit end to the rocky saga. Thank fuck they brought out Rocky 6.

  • 2:44 is my all time favorite moment of all the Rocky movies, and a true patriotic moment. :)

  • Que hermosa cancion!

  • Watching these credits and listening to the song is so inspirational especially to us men.

  • Watching this and listening to this song is so inspirational especially to us men.

  • ever inspirational ... ever reassuring... this movie and the character will always be close to my heart !!! rise above the troubles while you can !!!

  • Cool montage bro.

  • 2:18 just symbolizes every thing about all 6 rocky movies.

  • I get emotional when I hear this song. the story of Rocky in one fantastic song

  • I love this song. Love Rocky films, Rocky 4 is the best love the film & soundtrack outstanding!

  • Wow. This was nominated the 1990 Razzie Award for Worst Original Song.

  • @GarnetBering93  Same reason why i stumbled upon it.

  • que tal esta rola..........chequenla......e­sta padrisima..saludos.....

  • Great song!

  • I love the whole Rocky series 1 to 6 for more than one million reasons. I've loved it ever since I was just a kid and just liked it cuz it was kinda macho and now when I'm a grown up, I can fully appreciate the story, the philosophy, the morale of the story and everything. It's so much more than just another boxing movie that normally people think but you gotta look at it through my eyes to see the real beauty of the whole series.

  • @TalDarkLeanMean Ditto...the people who consider this movie franchise a joke are the people who take Twilight too seriously......or think Paris Hilton can act.....Love this movie......the music of all 6 and the cast were awesome.....my all time favorite movie series

  • I hate the people who don't like Rocky V. Is it like a fashion, trend or something to say that V was crappiest than the rest?

  • @TalDarkLeanMean, people want to talk trash for the dumbest reasons. It is easier to just enjoy the films and to have fun with the music. I enjoy the whole collection.

  • @TalDarkLeanMean These are people who came up with Alien v Predator :Requiem

  • @TalDarkLeanMean I gotta ask, does that mean you hate Stallone too cause he says he doesn't like it either and that's why he made Rocky Balboa. It deviated from the successful Rocky formula, also, while I understand that Stallone had Rocky go broke cause many pro boxers really did go broke, it just kinda leaves me with a feeling of that he went through everything for nothing and ended up right where he was at the beginning of the series.

  • Beautiful ending.

  • The beautiful thing about this particular clip is that ALL 5 Rockies were combined with this song. (Rocky VI didn't come out until 2006).

  • This song can literally pick up someone from the gutter and raise him to the stars!!

  • One of the finest songs, i have heard :) Thanks to stallone for making this movie.

  • @rajatshrma3 I agree with you. Reports that he is dumb is not true. He is very smart.

  • @Gvieto In Sly's own words.....success speaks for itself!

  • @5starwullie rocky 3 was the last of all the rockys and elton johns measure of a man is great but i also like the scene with mickey A LOT

  • @MrCSInyfan1000 I loved it when Mickey's ghost gave him the pep talk.

  • @Gvieto i honestly get teary-eyed when he says 'Get up you sonofabitch....cuz mickey luvz ya!'

  • The only good thing to come out of rocky v, Was this.........

  • fantastic song from a fantastic movie series, simple as that

  • One of the best films series ever created and one of the best songs ever made. I am man enough to say I get choked up when I hear this song. It's not easy being a man.

  • i cant stand this movie but i luv this song the rest our good my fav is 2 and 4

  • Man I love this song. Beauifull!!

  • Rocky v, was only good because of this song and the montage at the end in my opinion.

  • The Rocky films were shit but absolutely fantastic at the same time

  • this is a movie that teachs you many things in life i mean the 6 teach you something: never to give up whenever something bad happens to you and rocky did suffer a lot he lost his trainer his title and in a time his true self. with help of apollo, he came back and give everything he had his strengh but what he always gave was his heart. he was a warrior of life he lost 2 trainers and his wife and afterall, he continued fighting because life teach us this to go on behalf a loss. thank you

  • @felipeterrero beautifully put, i just teared up.
