Gonna Fly Now Scene - Rocky II - Original Motion Picture

This scene is one of the best in the film history; it has become an inspirational icon motivating millions of people around the world to go further, faster and stronger on any task.

The meaning is simple: a humble local dude training who is the underdog and has the support, hope and love of his community; and the effect in everyone is amazing.

Thanks Silvester Stallone for this scene; this is why we go to the movies.

Lyrics:
Trying hard now
It's so hard now
Trying hard now
Getting strong now
Won't be long now
Getting strong now
Gonna fly now
Flying high now
Gonna fly, fly, fly...

1:28 EPIC FAIL (a boy falls)

[Ezra Smith]

Epic. Just epic.

The producers didn't want to use any black kids in shooting the scene where Rocky i running through the streets with the kids. Why? Because it would have ruined their scene. At 1:40, when Rocky broke out into his sprint, the black kid would have beaten him.

The children this time around symbolizes him becoming a father, or something.

Sounds like they speed it up and replace the voices from rocky 1 and changed the guitar part.

OK. I wanna do the run up the steps scene again cos it worked so well in the first movie but I have to add something so it doesn't seem like a complete ripoff of the first movie. Hmm...me surrounded by old men in wheelchairs. Nah. Me surrounded by girls in bikinis. Nah. Me surrounded by...kids, Yeah, that'll work! Man, I'm a genius!
