It's the Lapsed fan Wrestling podcast. Start the projector and three two one play
M. There's the screaming metro goldwen Meyer, Lion or somebody. I think
a lion starts when Hogan shows up and the Lion of the bathroom. Oh
man, that's this sound is putting me in a particular ease mood. You'd
added artists, right, MGM, U a other the one and the same,
Yeah, more or less? And there MGM is such a fucking cluster.
Fuck now, it's all over the place. MGM in there bullshit and
they're bullshit like that. So many different so many different studios own have licensing
to the to the fucking MGM franchise. Wow, look at the Ring Magazine
World Championship with the red, white and blue tasseling or whatever on the sides.
The button tang almost weird, like the fucking frills like it's a seventies
yep tuxedo. Yeah, I don't so what the Ring Magazine they decided they
were. They're like the pre eminent rankings body. So it's like who they
say is the number one contender is accepted by most of boxing. I say,
as the top contender as we see Rocky just pummel Apollo Creed. I
what I love about what's so funny about the Rocky movies is that if you
you could actually just edit them together and make one fucking like the first five
at least like an eight hour movie, because they always end, they always
begin where the last one left off, like literally showing you class. Yeah,
exactly, and there is exactly yep. Look at his fucking face.
Look at look at Rockies. Look at both of them. They're both beat
the fuck up. What a business? You're right, jeez. I forgot
that Rocky punched him so hard at the end of Rocky two that he too
fell over and had to answer the ten count and the ring fells. God,
this good stuff. Yeah, I mean sure that the end of the
fights are always good, but like movies are just rough. Man, I
just can't do it. I try. I give it again. This one's
I like three. I probably like three because there are three fights in it,
as opposed to a whole bunch of bullshit movie before. Then you know,
like, seriously, you want him coming home to you. He looks
like he looks like fucking the Boston Scrooge too, the dick of Marley character.
You know, look at those old timey champions on the on the belt.
They got these old portraits from like nineteen twelve one. There's Mickey with
the hearing aids in and here comes I had the Tiger Baby, the movie
that made the song famous, right, that's right. I mean, well
that was written for this, written for the movie. Yep, fireworks,
that's huge. I have the Tiger leaders. Just Ry not a small rookie.
Is he even Helena Sell Helen? That's the lighting break. So we're
singing Rocky Defender's title against mirrored opponents. Idiot, not a fan. Huh.
Bert Young, he's such a dick in these movies. He dead.
I think he's dead. Yeah, he was shooting. I think he just
died. He came up recently as if he was in the news. He
was. So we're seeing the Rocky apparently at Radio City Music Hall making a
successful title defense. That's weird. Now he's alive, he ain't dead.
Whoa. There's Clever Lang watching on with a saucy look on his face as
Rocky Jesus uppercuts that guy almost into the front row. Look at him,
Look at him? Look at Clever Lang with those fucking a beast, the
feather ear rings. Yeah, yeah, we see the the changing marquee at
the airport and an airplane because he's traveling the world. Pretty young, Jesus
Christ, everybody. Let's looking like everyone's dads, everyone's grandfather old pictures of
Rocky Like he's an effective montage. We're getting a lot across in like two
minutes here, because I guess he was supposed to be champing for like three
years or whatever. Yeah, and all because of Mickey, that fucker.
They keep I know, Micky, that son of a bitch keeps zooming in
on that menacing clubber lang. I mean, he's apparently travel he has the
money, apparently to travel the whole world and follow the Rockies every title defense.
He's struggling. Here he is glistening, and uh, we're just bring
a sixth straight knockout. According to that newspaper clipping great cast. Oh yeah,
that's what you need. Like look, in the eighties, it was
about physique, wrestling plad us that and the movies taught us that too.
It's not like wrestling was unique. And it's why you fucking do a diet
where it's right eating part of an oatmeal cookie rice and two scoops of tuna,
so you can look like you're a fucking beast when you're probably on the
verge of dying. He does look unhealthy here. I think in this movie
it's kind of fast. Is so gaunt? Yeah, it's it's Wackle does
ad Ford Delore and that's hilarious. And the Maserati Prinette's on GQ, they
do a good job with this. Looks real. Yeah, get Muppet Show
is actually I guess it was his real his real thing. But they re
dubbed one of the Muppets to say Rocky instead of Stallone or whatever the fuck?
They said, Oh, that's fascinating. Yeah, yeah, because he
did do he did do a spot on the Hey, you noticed the fans
mobbing Celester Stallone looks kind of like that, all those kids rushing Cogan.
I didn't you know, we didn't we created that. We actually see what
happened was I suggested Stallone. I said, Stallone, what you should do
is you should have some some kids kind of hounding you and whatever and who
are you from? Nsick man? I don't know who you are. My
dad said no to the movie at first, my dad said no to things,
and I don't say no to you. Oh clutter Lang's bark and you
tell him nobody could beat me. That is a Lee ask. He's try
to channel a Lee. Well, if you would know, fucking mister T
would know. He's in black and white for some reason, this movie sill
take place in the sixties, like maybe two. I think most people have
color TVs by this point. You'd be surprised. I guess my first TV
I gotten like eighty eight, and it was black and white. I guess.
I guess they're probably cheaper. You know, he can be a cheaper
TV, right, not that full color ship, right? You know?
Carl Weathers, So we've got a Bert here is watching some news coverage of
Boboa's upcoming magic against wrestling champion Thunderlips. He's such a painty ass. He
fucks it all. If I'm not mistaken, I think he fucks it all
up for Rocky. I think he's in in five. I think he he
uh. I think he he he gambles away all his money or something.
Yeah, something like that. I don't know. Again, I don't care.
He's just riding Rockies coat tails here on the are. He is the
ultimate coat tailor bitch, total bitch. When he starts to get mad,
then maybe Rocky doesn't appreciate all he's done for him. Yeah, that kind
of guy, you know, taking a drag off a stogy hard hats in
the bar. So he's you know, Bert Young is still slumming it even
though, yeah, you can get to fame and for it. Pollie Paullie.
Ye, well, when when Rocky and Adrian are over in fucking Russia,
in Rocky for Paulie is fooled into signing a power of attorney over to
Rocky's accountant, who then squanders all of his money on a real estate deal.
Gone side. That's right a bit. Why don't you die? Right?
Why are you dressed like the guy who managed the Fabulous Kangaroos. It's
like salt Weiner golf over here? That fucking hat. Like, seriously,
Rocky's giving you all this fucking money and you can't Yeah, what a pervert.
Honestly, he's gonna touch kids here. Hey, why is everyone dressed
up like wrestlers? I think it was canvas Another cameo, Another wrestling cameo
on this movie. So many look at the hat is just perverted. Was
he gonna get pissed off if there's a Rocky pinball machine? Now, yes
he is. He's gonna throw shoot at it with his flask. What a
bitch he really is, his ungrateful prick. Also buy a new hat like
that's Rocky for twenty bucks and you can get a new hat. Dumb fuck
you do throw the flask at the pinball machine? I would yep, called
it, probably know it somewhere in the recesses of my memory, but yeah,
I'm sure you know what I mean that. I love that about movies.
It's like you remember them, but you don't remember you remember them until
the scene comes back, and you know what's funny. I don't know about
you, but sometimes I've gone back and rewatched movies that I used to watch
a lot as a kid, But man, I don't remember shit about it.
Is that right, Yes, the one the frequent flyers I tend to
recall. I used to watch the movie Short Circuit a lot as a kid,
and I washed it not long ago, and I didn't remember anything that
happened. Nothing jog my memory except for the main You know, the fucking
robot looks like a Rockies, biled Paulie at a prison here? What hair?
Beautiful eighties hair? So that's just alone. Oh yeah, textbook eighties
here with the tan suit yep, does he have those? Fucking I wonder
if he's got those. I guess my more seventies, but it's kind of
the end of the seventies. The fucking elbow patches, the brown elbow patches
that are like big again. I've seen a lot of suit coats with those
on these days. Oh what do you do for Paulie? What about Paulie?
What about me? What about Raven? About the club? What about
the club? Oh? I used to know? So I just alone,
we step up the claw. But is there a reason that uh salt weiner
GoF just threw his rolex on the ground in the parking garage at the police
station here? Why are you yelling at him like a slide Go go go
get the police and bring him back, like, get him, put him
back in prison. He's a fucking a man's gotta do something to keep one.
It's a raving derrel like this guy. Man. Look at trim that
trim the top coat is look at the gloves, very very snazzy. He's
a fucking he's the most He's like an eighties Macy's catalog. Oh seriously,
Like, honestly, it's like a fucking It's like the eighties fucking jerked off
and out came. It's like the Gifts for Him section of the Sears Wish
book. Hey, Hey, what is that pin underneath his tie? Interesting?
That's very weird. You talk like everybody ols you will live and he
says, what's his character's name again, Paulie. Paulie of course think Jersey
Shore. I think Jersey Shore, right exactly. I think I think Sopranos,
Poulie Walnuts. There you go. He was in this. Actually,
Bert Young was in the Sopranos had he had a small part. He played
What the fuck was he? He was? Uh uh? Bobby Back is
a dad I think in that Sopranos. Rocket just called on the jelly lazy,
lazy bum and Paulie's taking like, you want to fucking that's what you
want to do. You want to definitely throw, you swing some, throw
some fucking punches. You gassed already, You're not worth loafers. Paulie is
the fucking worst, Like, like, why, honestly, that is that
that is the epitome of self distruction? Is Pauli in least? Yes,
because he's that guy. He's that person that you the toxic individual who you
just can't get rid of because deep down you don't think you're worth anything.
So you keep him around. And he knows that about yes, and plays
off that, exactly lives off of it, exactly knows what button to push
at the right moment to stay attached to you. Yep, codependency, tons
of problems. Fuck, it looks like that's what Rocky's about to do with.
He's gonna take her. David Letterman ask him if this went down for
real too? The cls, the blows you took in the ring were real?
Did you do your own stunts in that fucking sack as well? Slide
no, no, slid? Did she you know you took the blows?
But did she blow you right? That is the question. That is the
question. Is this supposed to endear me to Rocky? That they're singing to
each other here? Because it feels my time is being wasted? What about
you? And can we get to the wrestling match? Please? You get
the thunder lips. I'm not talking about Adrian. What about Adrian? Did
she go on to any filmic success? Oh my god, it's fucking Connie
Corleone. Ladies and gentlemen. She's she's uh, she'll be featured again.
She's she's not going anywhere. I'll tell you that on under the Cinemat.
She will be featured for a while. Now. She's she's great, tell
you she's awesome. Yeah, in the three Godfather movies. There we go,
yep, up here it is the battle of the champion wi the box
were against the wrestler. Is this our announcer? Here is Dennis James.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dennis James. Them in a moment they do get We
get a shot of him. There he is right there on the road,
looking dapper, with a carnation on his on his lapel. Come on,
Rock, yellow Robe with the black trend Rock. There's Mick Rock. I
got my fucking hand on my cock. All right, let's killing this ship.
This guy weighs eighteen thousand pounds. He's a fucking fake. We don't
need to know this ship. I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna I'm gonna
act like the penguin. Well, see the mustache behind mister James, there
comes he'd be They think they think someone's carrying Hogan. No one carries Actually
people need to carry Hogan. Actually Okay, yeah, ready, Savage did
look, I'm coming after you, Balboa. Think of a nation for the
first time laying eyes on Hult Cogan and the big screen in nineteen eighty two
across this country. And just wait, and it's not even the moment yet.
The moment is coming up. I mean, you see him, he's
you know, you can tell he's big, but you don't know how big
he is yet? Right, And that championship belt was one created specifically for
the film, Oh, I know, selling replicas of it on the Hogan's
Beat Shop website for six hundred dollars. Right now it looks like the old
NBA US title. Yeah, or the TV title too. Thunder Lips is
here. He's talking into a microphone hanging from the ceiling. Male versus the
Ultimate Meatball food again on that cast. I know there it is again,
James, what what's his name? Dennis James? Idiot? Is he in
the Kenneth Kenneth Brana's Puio and liver on? The owner expressed Jesus Christ.
Look at how getting this pump on biceps, biggest arms in the world.
This is great. Look at him before he was bald. Yeah, I
know right, it's look at hair that's going fast. He can see on
the only didn't Stalone induct Hogan into the Hall of Fame? Yes he did,
Yes, he did. Absolutely, there's like a jam and Vince and
Hogan posing. That's an interesting mad effect on the camera. That must have
been my mistake. I think that's probably some kind of lens flair. Yeah,
so Hogan thunder lips has been introduced. We turn now to shut it
still break him in half, gesturing into the crowd menacingly of course, what
a mustache. I can't even deal with it. Rocky Rocky Balboa with the
classic Art Jimmerson mistake, thinking he can grapple with boxing gloves on. That's
just not not gonna happen. Put you at a disadvantage, not at an
advantage. Wait for it now, look at it. Wow, size of
him. Wow, fucking Christ, that's the money shot. You cut off
the top of Hogan's heads exactly the frame, beautifully shot. Huh Yeah,
Rocky saying we need to get a polaroid together after this match, he's still
in a charity frame of mind, right, No, Hogan, Hogan is
in a steel chair frame of mind. It's like you may have worked him
health into a shoot. Here. You're looking for the double cross, the
gorgeous George John Eagle double cross. There's the referee on all the flesh.
Look at double miss. But he's ready. He's fucking prosy poised to attack.
Good move pretty first for a big Doug, you know, Pat Patterson,
all right, look at this. He's talking through spots with Hogan,
because that's about talking, right about communication in the ring, trusting your opponent.
There it is. That's the forearm to the back that he talked about,
and that blooded his face when he landed on Hogan's cowboy boot and another
sledge and down goes Man. Did they hit that sound effect? Or what?
Oh? Yeah, thunders christ something? Look at uh Robert Goula over
there? Yeah, corner to corner on the whip. I don't know if
they teach you how to take a buckle in boxing, how do you learn
how to fall off? How do you learn how to how you learn how
to work with Hulk Hogan? Right? I believe Sylvester Stallone just took a
Bill out of the corner with a face lock taken down. Look at that.
He's learning the those moves from Japan. There it is a power slam,
crushes sly into the canvas. Not for the meats. Want to cover
him. I'd be like, I want to face Hogan. I want to
face he's taking careful notes. Oh back, backbreaker, Jesus the child,
it's fake, but here it is. It's pretty wild that he was dropping
the leg in eighty one. I know, huh, but it's not finishing.
He's still saying husha. Even in the movie Big Soup Lex beautiful.
Okay, there are some of the best moves I've ever seen Holkngy Right,
this is the best wrestling he's ever done. That's because they fucking took like
four hours to do it. Probably you know, it's incredible stuff. Man,
Fuck my god. He's always call around the ring and he gets tossed.
That's where Spike Dudley got the idea for him to get gorilla press in
the audience and their pepper with a Jesus used to this. Hogan was the
third man in eighty one. Apparents and there goes Earl Happener ref takes the
bump as well. Britius. Meredith is dying. Yes, yeah, this
is where the stuff holcus Holkus striking policeman and security guards. He still wants
Balpom. The gloves off. The gloves are off, zoo. It's a
wrestling ring, of course. It's like the or true God? Is that
whoa looks like one of the the ring card girls in her bikini was even
involved in the tussle. Brig Meredith is like, oh, losing his ship.
This is Balboa is not happy to see Rocky now gloveless. He's just
got the tail on. Come on, brother, I changed the finish dude,
go over Terry's back in side, race to the gut. You want
to fight for real? Oh? He goozled him. Hogan has got him
in the goozle pay with the chair. A wooden chair smash is across Hogan's
back and he knows sounds. Oh he's all right. Bumps for his career
were naked choke by Rocky Balboa taking the cat. Come on, thunderlips scrambling
for refuge, locking burgess Meredith here is Mickey is might as well be fucking
uh Harley Race, come on god, our faithful announcer saying Rocky is hanging
on like a bull terrier. He's calling on the old wrestling at the merry
goal, I guess vocabulary. Hogan drops to an he's fighting, and look
at this Balboa releases the hole to go to work body shot. Fucking I
Then the power slam. Look at this rock cross shift. He's wobbly.
Holk's gonna take the bump. Wow boom slammed of Hogan's career right there.
It really is. The skyscraper has been counted out of the ring. Where
been thrown out of the ring. And I'm gonna say that's probably just qualification
if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, what is this? Bill Watts w W
well a w A. They did that too, They did the yeah that's
true. Good point. That was actually more the rule than the exception.
In the early eighties, Hogan being fanned down by his uh many, his
harem of women, one of them, Linda, I didn't check that out.
I should have seen pretty good stuff, good match, that crazy,
tremendous for the fake. There was a yeah sure from Terry, Yeah sure,
yeah there is there's like the undercurrent of see it's all fun in games
here and Walter Matthow takes the photo Rocky alcohol bad, not bad, no
very good, showing good stuff. We see the back of the mansion,
their Reaganomics mansion here we're told by that newspaper clipping that Rocky and Thunderlips wrote
raised seventy five thousand dollars for charity in that tussle there. I mean,
it's not good even for you expect the world champion boxer back then to fucking
at least bring in one hundred thousand. Well they did bring in three times
what Hogan got paid to do the b That's a good point, is selvester
Stalone riding a model T or is my my eyes deceiving me? It's a
model of a model T right, look at you got this fucking beautiful room,
you know, I look at him and then Paulie sitting there like a
bitch in his fucking wife beater idiot. That is the exact chandelier you would
expect a poor Italian kid from Philly to buy. And that same fucking wallpaper
like that's you know, I saw, you know the wallpaper like that,
you know a little bit of money, and I figured, you know,
I think it looks really nice. God. Yeah, he's way too lean.
It's almost not even muscular. You know. He looks it's good for
for like you said, looking ripped. But when he's got regular clothes on,
he looks like a like he's trying to be a model more than a
box. And this is one of my biggest pet peeves of any movie.
I hate when they play the theme music of the movie in the movie,
like it's a real song. I counts in that world. Yeah, and
about to get the controversial A glimpse of the controversial statue here, Yeah,
says well documented earlier, and enter the ciniment and this is Oh, there
was a shit you know, I'm going to read it while we're doing this.
Yeah. Sure, there was an email. We got an email actually
about this, and I remembered from Matt some local trivia. He says,
I'm looking forward to this. I grew up in the same neighborhood as stallone,
and we both went to Lincoln High School three decades apart, so I'm
basically like an expert. In nineteen seventy eight, he filmed a scene at
Lincoln's auditorium for Rocky two, which he finally gets his diploma, and we
first learned that Rocky's real name is Robert, but it was never used in
the movie and no video footage exists. All that remains is a single frame
on a bubblegum card from nineteen seventy nine attached. Wow funny. The story
goes that Stallone felt so bad about the scene being cut that he gave Lincoln
to TV Time and Rocky three. In the scene right here, that's the
Lincoln band, Lincoln Marching Bone. Oh, yes, that's right. Is
they had to be able to statue. They they aren't really identified, so
they are they're they're they're they're signed there, their logo, the name is
on the thing. And then he gives some photos so Matt, you know,
Matt j she he gave some stuff there, and he gave some photos
and stuff like that, and I guess he says that he calls many times.
In high school, people would mention Stallan used to go there and that
he was put in the slow classes because they they thought he was quote unquote
retarded, right repeatedly for years. It was kind of like this weird thing,
like basically, our fucking retort won an Academy Award. Well he didn't.
He didn't win nominated, so the movie retard the movie one, but
he didn't win. So not my word, that was the word in the
email. Yes, channeling the language of the time. Yes, indeed,
so Rocky taking the podium upon the unveiling of a statue. Now, it's
like, it's kind of funny, like I know when you think about it
in terms of the of the of the movie itself, like the steps,
why do they fucking matter to the city of Philadelphia? They matter to movie
audiences that he that's what's famous about it. Like nobody was fucking there when
he climbed the steps and Rocky won, that's true, you know, Like
you know, if he wins the world titled you imagine he'd do a bunch
of interviews about how and where he trained. I guess why don't they put
the fucking then, why don't they put the fucking statue in the in the
meatpacking plan, where the fuck that was? You know, boxing the stakes
and ship and the carcasses of the cows. At least we get the food.
Back's right? He just suggested he might retire. Looks leave Adrian here
comes clever Lang. Don't give the suck it out statue, give him guts.
Jesus, what a what a what a ag totally is got the hell
out of here, go on shooting an angle. I mean that's the loan's
wearing nice pinstripe suit right here. You know, you've got a big mount,
you know, whoa whoa Yeah, this is it? Like this is
it? It's great, it's and and team makes a good point with it,
you know, talking about how he's been you know here he is this
this this, you know this this incredible fighter, this tough fighter who has
not been given a chance, and he's hungry. Absolutely, he makes a
claim, makes the claim that that that Rocky has been fighting set up opponents,
not real contenders for the title, which Mickey doesn't want Club to get
a shot. And Sylvester is like, what were you talking about? Mm
hm, he doesn't. Mickey's finished. He doesn't want anything to do with
being pulled into a fight with this clever Lang character. We're just merried it
mouth man, how the hell that he survived? Oh he's inviting Adrian to
uh to junob take a he he wants to clubver her Lang perfect angle.
I mean, this is seventies per wrestling, you know, pull apart,
goes the heel, goes too far, kind of goes below the belt and
try to get under the skin of the challenger and draw him out to give
him a show off the title, and Rocky is beside himself as they returned
to the Man's Furious He's Lapsed fan Wrestling podcast with Jack and jo It's the
Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast. He walk away because it's true, rock We're going.
I wonder why they called him what Matt said. They called him We're
going, We're going come back? Why? Now? Why does it?
Mickey? He thinks Rocky should retire, But why is he so mad about
him fighting? You can't because he's been setting up, setting up the fights.
I think he just said, this guy will kill you to death.
That's it's hungry. I'm hunger now, I'm fucking starving. But it didn't
make me want to win a fight. Yeah, Hogan isn't hungry. You
just had a large Italian a small one too for that man. Yeah,
Mickey tayling Rocky that he's been setting him up ever since he won the title.
Nobody like clubb Lang. Yeah, over. I guess a lot of
has been fighters name recognition, but not not a chance to win what we
like to call legends here at World Wrestling Entertainment. They did have legend legend
uh legend contracts in the World Boxing Federation. The originally the original WBS really
been a legends night ever since Bell Bubba won the title, a big,
long ass legends night. Well, they have like I don't know, I
don't know old boxers Jack Johnson, Oh, yes, of course, Jack
Johnson, Floyd Patterson or Pat Patterson, Mike Tyson, Steve Austin, Thank
you, a real pugilist. Do you think he had the pugilistic deconments?
Pugilistic decands sounds like a fucking medical condition. Well, you know, I
gotta tell you we uh, I'm gonna diagnose you with pugilistic decays. Well
you know, I gotta tell you what a doctor the fuck? Well,
you know, I gotta tell you you have cancer. I'll tell you this
is gonna be rough for me telling you this, but you've got some pugilistic
decadence. He's your son. I don't know what I can do about that.
He's probably just reverting to a state of childhood dependence. Take him home,
introduce him to the kid. Childhood pugilistic decadence is what it is,
not dependix. So Mickey's having a heart to heart on the couch here with
Rocky, and I find myself struggling to care. Boss. Yes, let's
get on with the fight. I don't care about character in this movie.
I care about fighting. Where's Hulk Hogan's gone? Now we can wrap it
up if that's what you're waiting for, Just not the movie. Now,
there's one more WrestleMania, one participant together belt here and to win a belt
too for that matter. Spoiler alert, Sorry those of you not what I've
never seen Rocky tah before the clever ling wins, got it? Yeah,
cluver Los twist table for long. Fritz Lang also with clubber Lang descended of
Fritz German tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're gonna fight in the
Metropolis later tonight. Exactly. I think that's the clubber Lang is the nostu
So wait a minute. Rocky trains at a hotel. He's got to promote
ship. Look at this cardboard cutouts of the man balloons everywhere, A ring
set up in the middle of this hotel ballroom. Look at that got hockster.
Yeah, I know, pushing merch. Oh. They even have the
inflatable sand bottom punching bags that I used to have. There's music, there's
food, there's spirits Hodge, there's a Leroy Naman paintings going on here.
Paul he looking like a bitch. Yeah, he always looks like an idiot.
He always looks like he's slinging fried dough, doesn't He totally is like,
that's what you'd rather be doing now anyway, Rocky but me, But
we know who pro Wrestling's version is of this cat. Yes, rec Rocky
is Leon Vader White God. Mickey says, this is a bullshit area to
work out. I feel like I feel like maybe was Burgess Meredith. This
is a mom who had the double four steps in her fucking pussy because it's
all in the place half of his face, you know. So here's the
contrast, right, Rocky is hitting the bag, Sam, Die Paulieu and
die Worthless idiot. You found the rambow headband. Oh, Sweaty a blonder
heck on the cheek, Tya Shirely, Fuck you bitch. She doesn't love
that. Look at this Mickey's telling Rocky he's gonna kill him. And so
what we're doing is we're juxtaposing shots of Rocky having this, you know,
kind of performative training session in a fancy hotel ballroom with clubver Lang alone,
just killing his abs with sit ups, hitting the bag as hard as he
can, and Rocky is literally dancing bubbles in the air. Idiot Italian stallion
Right, like you said, this is like, you know, this reminds
me of kind of uh, the restumating a twelve build. Yes, it's
also very reminiscent of Rocky Brock at Summer Slam two thousand and two. Yeah,
you're right, the kind of sports you put the training footage side by
side and draw inferences about what their respective strength will be from their training regiments
of Rocky being we're going to running the lake and pulling Mickey behind him on
the Bicyclecky, Yeah, feeling strong. Look at him. That's stallone ejaculating
you do. That was well coming. Right, So, now the the
crowd has left the ballroom and Rocky's putting in that real work catch pneumonia.
Why is it not heated in there? Must not be? Oh he has
got two point nine percent body fat. So he's probably just fucking freezing.
You know, as I look at Rocky's color scheme on his outfit, there
is his tights. How can kind of wore those colors in the A W
A black and yellow? Yeah, when I think about it, Yeah,
so he I know the other guys wearing red, the red, hung yellow.
He just ran with this whole movie all the way to the bank.
He really did. Oh totally, this is it man, This is the
spark, like you said, of the whole thing. And yeah, oh
without a doubt, without a doubt, doble becking, and here I don't
know. It's this San Jose. Is this the cow palace? You're rangy
ranging you, You're in the best name of your career and always hard hitting
questions from Yeah, what kind of camera is that? M I want to
be alone. They have cornered Clever Lang in the middle in some part of
the building him not be photographed. He's like, I want to be alone,
and you keep cornering him. They keep sucking, going closer and closer,
and it's like you're gonna die. This guy's gonna kill all of you.
How about giving him an actual fucking locker room instead of putting him in
a room with lockers, right, which is a big difference. There is
there's Apollo. He was asking himself. Yeah he was in our last out
of the cinemat too, Remember was a dieard? When I call the guy,
Carl weathers, yeah, no, he'll be in a couple of future
ones. I'll tell you that. But what was the guy's name? From
Family Matters? Reginald Phil Johnson? A couple of Carl Carl Winslow. Awesome,
of course, Carl Weather's greatest performance did you ask me? Is an
arrested development? Have you seen it? I know what you're talking about.
Oh my god, he's so fucking great. He talks about like eating a
burger king and you can get free refills. I don't you. It's about
food. It's always about food. So clubb Lane confronting Rocky in the hallway.
You're washed up. I'm the best, all the best in the world,
paper champion. Wow, the entourages are about to come to blow us
here. Come on, ref get in there, State Patrol Jesus. He's
throwing cops down, goes Mickey, Mickey taking the bump. Come on,
gold buck me In's out of a bitch. Yeah, well he comes a
heart attack. It's like Tim Sheridan. That's what he's gonna look like when
he's eighty. Yeah, Adrian beside herself in her fur coat. She's living
the life. She loves it. Oh yeah, you know tells you you
know, damn well, like you know, she talks about it later,
but you know, damn fucking well, she would be a miserable little wench
if he if she didn't have that money coming in. You know it.
Come on, I didn't sacrifice all of this just to give it away.
Rocky, You're not the only one making a sacrifice here. Mickey's does not
look well. He is clammy. He is pretty. Say you say he's
like on the juice. Not well, Jesus Christy, look at him.
This is kind of like I think of a wrestling angle where like the old
guy. Well, it's kind of like it's like Gordon Solely and Morocco and
Piper and whatever. God the movie that spawned a million angles promos ideas of
like promotional confrontations. It's all here, the raw material. Get this raw
ross speech for Rickey, Get out there and do it. He will be
a bitch did he I don't think he won Take a look, I'll look
here he went an oscar crowds channing Rocky Yep, Mickey gives one last get
out there and do it speech. He's take care of Rocky. Uh god,
he was born in nineteen o seven. Rocky with one last entreaty to
Adrian to take care of his beloved trainer, and he lays eyes on him,
perhaps for the final time, as he makes his way to the ring
and clubber Lang and Rocky Balbo went now in the ring for me. He
was even nominated for the Original Rocky renouncer introducing Apollo Creed to the live audience
here refusing to shake the hand. No has been That's right, Paula Creed
is a bitch. That's right right in his face. What do you can
do about it? Reginald Johnson cool m the south Side Slugger. Yeah,
he was nominated. He was nominated for the original One was Yeah. Best
Supporting Actor he was nominated. Sloan Talia Shire Bert Young even nominated for Best
Supporting Actor. Look at that, oh your favorite? You know you're still
a bitch then, so fuck it still looks like a guy who drives his
mother to doctor's appointments every Tuesday and takes it and and takes a little payday
from her. Yeah, yeah, right, yep, Mom's got to come
out of pocket for the through lunch. On the way back, Jimmy Lennon
on the ring announcing, No, I'm not sure that ring announcer's definitely still
the trainer here for Yeah, there he is. Now that is that's Jimmy
Lennon Senior. I think you see? Is that Jimmy Lennon. I don't
know that's what you're talking about? Famous ring announcer and boxing. You can't
be that famous. I'm senior. Yeah, that is him. There we
go, pretty Marty Dankin presiding that come to center. Are sure it's not
Buddy Hackett who the referee? I'm not sure. Actually, we'll see if
Rocky Balboa can hack it here against medicine Cluver Lang curious he did hack it
with thunder lips early wrong. Clubb just referenced meat again, guys, he's
hungry, after all. It's not forget that Jack. Is that Jack Lemon
as well? In Rocky's corner, Jack Lemon and mathout together. That's the
problem. That's why he loses. Well, they are wearing yellow clubber looks
ready. He's bouncing on the Bob Coddle on commentary to Jesus Christ underway,
Jesus Rocky comes out swinging indiscriminately. He's head hunting here. He's here.
He wants to beat Tim down. This like ruins boxing in so many ways.
To think that punches make this sound when they land, well, also
to think that punch is fucking like. Nobody fights like this in box nobody.
There's no defense their their necks are being turned around with every shot.
God, put your hands out. The whiplash here is there's there's no pausing
right, not at all. No dancing is just no punch. Oh clever.
Lang's coming from downtown with those, there's no discipline there. He's taking
him back to the south Side. And they're real in mind boxing, yep,
real fucking haymakers. And look at that Jesus Christ. He's looking like
and it's letting him hit him like, put your hands up, pal,
He doesn't know where he is. One bell sounds mercifully as Lang lands one
more stiff left hook and h Paula Creed looks nonplussed. I'll tell you,
Paul, because you know why he's embarrassed. Right. That's it. Man,
when somebody beats you for the rest of your life, you root for
that person so you look okay by comparison. He's too strong. You don't
smoke him. I can't get him off a panic Rocky Balboa breathlessly telling his
corner he can't do it. Do they care enough to keep him alive?
Mickey? No, they get up on him. Yeah, I say that,
just as we see the vitals. Rugget get out of here. I'm
dead, call them Morgan? Is there symbolism and his trainer dying as he's
getting killed in the ring? Ah? Yes, there is actually thank you,
especially later too. Is that Hogan's hat? I thought I saw some
pink feathers. I thought it surprised me if he was a vip here.
I mean they did raise seventy five grand together. Oh Jesus, And now
it's the right hooks of cluver Lag loading them up. Where are the hands?
What are you guys doing? Why? Punches? Just letting him take
him out? First of all, they would have stopped this fight, oh
four hundred punches ago, but no standing out count Jesus christ it's kind of
ridiculous. Put your hands up. Look at him sitting duck and they paused,
oh oh, here we go, laying loads up in slow mo and
bag the left hook kills Balboa. He goes down like a like a video
game character. Rocky came out so confident, didn't he boss, letting those
hands fly. Rocky Balboa came out so confident in the beginning, like there
is going to be another walk in the park. Now he's realizing how favorably
he's been match made, how much of a bitch he really is. And
as a ten count expires, so does Mickey. It's right, Mickey expires
along with Rocky's championship ring. It's all coming crashing down. It's going to
hurt inside. Rocky doesn't know where he is. He's still fighting. I
don't know where he is for that matter, I don't know where they shot
this. Jimmy Lennon Senior with the announcement the new heavyweight Champion of the World
clubber Lang, and yeah, it just went down real quick for one Rocky
Balboa. Phil Apollo creed here not very good, Xavier Woods of the New
Day. His original ring name in TNA was consequences Creed was it really?
Yeah? It was. Uh, it's funny because Stallone was, of course,
the executive produced The Contenders Reality great things. They're much like I pointed
out, they found themselves having to in post production add sound effects of Punch's
landing for the actual fights that they put the reality show. Really do they
really? Yes, they did, And they edited the fights heavily to speed
them up and just like hone in on the moments of exchange that resembled the
movie. Well that I understand. Yeah, this movie, this movie very
much settled burned into the public imagination what it was that a boxing fight looked
like all of them. I mean they all fucking you know that, that's
just it. Everyone wanted boxing fights to be rocky movies, and right,
you know, like you can't do it. That's why we have wrestling,
because you can do it exactly Rocky. At Mickey's bedside, he is laboring
just to breathe. Here tears streaming down his face. I think he knows
this is the end. Boss. Oh maybe he might just be taking a
nap. Actually call off the coroner. I remember watching this when I saw
this the first time, being very surprised that that Mickey dies, you know
dies, Yeah, you know, I didn't really know, and this early
in the movie. I mean we're halfway through, but you know, it
does move. This move the movie moves briskly. I remember a lot more
distance between the Hogan and clubb Lang fight than that. And I mean that's
the thing too, Like it moves very briskly, unlike the second one,
which moves at just the sows pace possible. Right, they packed two movies
into this one. They really did. Again, they should have built they
should have had a Hogan thing, I mean, honestly, So, yeah,
he has lost Mickey. He's like Jesus Christ, I said, I
needed a corner, not a corner h Jesus wailing and agony on the chest
of his fallen It's a sad day in the Balboa community as he loses his
world heavyweight title and his beloved trainer all in the same evening. Kind of
a rough night. I'll say, want to get the suicide watch ready,
it's the well, it's a it's a what do you call it? You
know, one of those places in the cemetery where you get a lot of
bodies, what do you call it? Mauso Lium Mausoleum, Thank you,
also known as that place in the cemetery where we got a lot of bodies,
including Jesse Ventura. Who I see there. That's the place in the
cemetery where you got a lot of bodies. Don't you worry what I got
to Jesse? The body right here? Not? What do you think about
that Mickey's character was Jewish? Yes, they There was a reason they did
that because everyone kind of thought he was Irish, because you know Mickey,
but they they made him Jewish because, uh, what do you say,
Mickey gold Mill? Gold Mill, August fifteenth, nineteen eighty one. Is
what we're supposed to think this day is Stallone said that he did it because
there were a lot of there were a lot of Jewish boxing managers who were
not recognized because they were Jewish, and so he wanted to do that to
honor them. That's a little interesting. Yeah, would we call Mickey his
manager or trainer whatever whatever you call it? Either way, whatever Mickey is,
there were a lot of Jewish people. He's like a stand in for
the unappreciated versions of them in reality. That's interesting that I did not that's
a detail I did not recall. Yeah, so August eighty one. I
mean, this is this is Hogan's starting up with a w A under lips
is moving on and the bigger and better things. The question is is Rocky
Balboa is he moving on? There's the there's your stupid statue. You.
I know, when I lose someone close to me, I get on my
motorcycle and drive to my statue. Yeah so I did when my grandmother died,
got on my motorcycle and drove to my statue. No, he doesn't
even go to Mickey's statue, and I know that there isn't one, But
that's that's kind of the point, eh man. They must feel the gans
in that city put that thing up. They must feel like fucking chumps.
They put that thing up, and he loses the title and two rounds next.
Oh shit, right, what a fucking dick. That's when the editorial
start about like misuse of public funds. Then they start talking about fucking Bill
Belichick. Bill Belichick. Shit, no wonder there was controversy in the city
about putting the statue back. I mean, oh, you know, he's
a loser, he's a bad omen. What the fuck we go? I
don't want that thing on my heart. My heart museum, What the fuck
are we doing that for? It's not art, it's commercial bullshit, that's
right. But commercialism is art. It's post modern art. Yeah, didn't
you hear me? Just read about Venturia or whatever. Ventura. That's right.
I'm a postmodern artist. I don't think you knew that. But I
do like my good every now and again. I do like a good dose
of postmodernism in my coffee. Look at this Rocky in a forlorn state.
He's made his way over to the original Mickey's trading gym, and yeah,
maybe if he's trained there for the fight, he would have won. Oh
uh oh so Apaulo Creed just hangs out in Mickey's gym in the dark because
Mickey, he doesn't fuss, hangs out there in his fucking white overcoat.
Of course, he just indicated that he actually went to Rocky's house and Atrion
said she hadn't seen him in an hour, so I knew you'd be here
or a day, right. It's kind of like the version, this movie's
version of uh, Kevin's mom finding him at the Christmas tree. He knows
where he'd be right right exactly. Mm hmm. Let me let me tell
you what if you lost your world title? What would you be doing right
now? Probably the same thing you're doing Rocky. So he's going to counsel
Rocky through this loser ye funk that he's going to be in now. I
didn't want to know what why? This is a good job in this movie
does an inspired performance? I like it. I don't like carlwas that much,
but I do like him in this one. This Pator, yeah,
coming soon too under the cinematon certain body in that one. That's right.
I am in the Arnold Schwarzenegger motion picture Predator. I I play a commando
and what I'm going to do there is I'm going to kick some ash out
of an alien. And that's that is how he says alien. It's part
of his you could say body of work. Jesse Ventura raw Ross speech here
from Carl weathers I are the tiger man. I should should you know?
What we should do is to that? You know, instead of doing the
box and there, maybe you know I should write a song? Well,
I are a tiger you think what do you think of Paulo write a song?
I'm going to go back in this dark corner for an hour and a
half, like my dark corner, CLUBB, Clubver, CLUBB. You're being
interviewed on television there, Clever and Daddy. Fuck it, yeah, exactly,
Clever and Lane. It is clevering time, just sitting there like this
is uh, this is fucking weird. This is Hogan watching Zeus and no
holds Bard totally. Yeah, they took this. It's fucking Vern watching tape,
watching film and the wrestler. Oh god, fuck, don't get me
started. He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carno JP Sorrow.
It's the Lapsed fan Wrestling podcast. So it's just so weird that they're all
sitting so close to each other on the couch like they're shoulder and shoulder here.
It's true. I can't be beat. I won't be beat. It's
the camera, mister t What a fucking he should have gotten not many for
an oscar for this fucking role easily. Yeah, it's a first time actor,
did uh, Paulie, he was in the Wrestler too. He looks
like some guy that worked in the office or something, doesn't It look like
Cal was like the love child of Vernon and uh and uh and lou Grant
there and as God classic ship. Mmm mm hmm what do you mean favor?
What what do you want to do? Give you a hand job?
What a favorite? A sexual favor? Mh The Golden Dad. The fuck
is so gaudy, you know, Gordon Gecko's house Jesus way too for Gordon
Gecko. This is eighties opulence, you know, That's what we're seeing here,
Like, Daddy, why do I have to wear a suit every day?
See you? How come I'm raised by other people? Why do you
wear a three piece suit every fucking day? Dad? Why do you wear
a three pce suit to bed? Are you? John Cena? This is
no ship that so sad that he's hanging on to this era? This is
this is Flair to in the eighties, you know, yeah, totally like
everything Rocky is in this movie, you know, with all the fame and
fortune, it's all the trappings that are Rick Flair is trying to copy.
And that's your son. What a fucking loser, that's your fucking son with
those dorky Sarah Sally Jesse, Raphael fucking a. Here's a reference for that
ass world on maple Avenue in Philly. We hit a I think we're in
l are in la in la. Uh, paul I don't know where Maple
is, but oh, that's definitely an l a bum Mickey Roach's place huh
a uh Freddie Roach's place. Yes, she's a taxi's got a bad wheel.
Thanks for that, Paulie, for setting the scene. You know,
why don't you say that when you got the tickets fly all the way out
there? You flew out there. You're fucking what thought were doing away when
he got When he got in the cabin l A X, he thought they
were taking them to Portland, about a ten hour drive. Oh, yes,
ready for racist police coming out soon. Yeah, I know what they're
doing. They're going to the Olympic to see Hulk wrestle. Yeah. Is
that Hogan right there? No, he's blonde, he's in a mustache.
I love how his wife comes with him and leaves the child behind. I
was like, what there, like like, wa way to make the feel
the kid feel loved? I thought you weren't supposed to fucking training camp,
by the way. Huh. I thought you weren't supposed to have sex in
training camp, by the way. The last thing you want to bring along
is your wife in terms of temptation. Oh, man, he's entering a
sweat box full of killers. Here. Apollo Creed has found him some training
partners. Extraordinary fucking Boh, she's gonna don't miss the message here, Rocky
has to train with black men to de feed a black man's you know,
I menacing looking motherfuckers. Oh, this is Apollo Creed stopping ground started wh
he started boxing, So I said, he's in l a man, I
didn't realize that. Mm hm, tremendous a tiger. Everyone's looking to kill
looking at him, and are they ever glistening? Get in there stilllone,
see what you got? And he continued, Paulie comes in no class in
here. What a dumb ass. Fuck you dude, He's a fucking so
annoying. He's worthless to him again, he has nothing the toxic hangar on
her. Oh they're in every boxing camp. Every boxing camp has one the
guy that somehow, like you said and you nailed it, that has this
little bit of like psychological leverage on the superstar and everyone else in the entourage
knows he's toxic. But but the big boss says he's got to be around.
I remember Pacquiao had a guy like that. He had a big fight
with Freddy Roach over it, because no matter what Freddy did, this guy
always had Pacio's ear and he didn't know anything about anything. He was just
some guy that somehow won Pocia's trust alone. I know, yeah, I
know what the I nobody really needs to channel his mentality. The eight these
jobs for themselves within the camp. I don't like these people, says Paulie.
Too on the nose, says Rocky. They probably don't not a lot
to like. Well, they're excited to see the chant former champ. Come
on, Well he's a champ, always a champ. It's like an honorary
title, like president. Leaky pipes and everything. Jesus Christ, he's really
rough, Jesus on the toes. You need to get hell. They're in
LA. They need to call Jean le Belle. Get him in here,
show him some hip locks and stall of a bell lock. Let's go all
the way. Of course, this a glimpse of what would be a long
and pathetic tradition of Hollywood celebrities like Mark Wahlberg pretending they box too and going
to boxing gyms and the rougher parts of still feel like men local bitches,
like the guy in the fighter there who my dad, my dad word to
high school with. Oh no, the fighter, yes, huh the Fighter
talking about Mickey uh uh Mark Walmart. Yeah, but he plays uh,
oh my god, Mickey Ward. Yeah. But the the the guy who
trains them, the local guy who's a real lowell guy. My dad knows
him. He hates him. I don't think I knew that. Yeah,
awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome rocks women like an old lady here?
Yeah was he? I mean, jesus, I know he's roughing it in
the actual fighting gym, but does he really have to take them to a
wreck pool in nineteen twenty eight, I expect the women to be wearing like
those caps and swim caps. Yep, Teddy Roosevelt in office? What the
fuck is this? Like that they're staying in Like I like that that that
just because that they're in that they're out there working in a crappy area.
They have to stay in a crappy area, Like, right, why couldn't
they stay at the Ritz? Right? There's like he still has money,
Yeah, he always make the most. That's why the boxers always hang on
too long as you make the most money as your ability is waning, right
and well, I mean also he's got fucking merchandising money coming in. I'm
sure he's got residuals from from stuff like that. Like, you know,
they could stay at a hotel, like a real hotel instead of it is.
I guess maybe on top of the fucking club there where they are,
like, yeah, just anywhere and like a motor roadside motel might be better.
Honestly, they're watching film. Yeah, you know what the problem is,
uh, Apollo, He's standing there with his hands by his hips,
letting clever langing hit him in the face over Maybe he should block it.
Like she's all happy, like you never have that. She doesn't mind this
fucking goddamn he just wants him to fuck her. Come on, stop thinking
about boxing and box me take care of my box. She's such a good
spirit. She just said there are worst places, which I'm not so sure
about. Actually I'm not so sure either. I mean they went over the
top of police's house, probably worse, lazed potato chip bags everywhere. Oh,
I'll tell you, I'll never forget I had I moved a friend of
mine. I moved a friend of mine from his from his apartment in LA
and I went there and there were like two dozen pizza boxes piled up on
each other. Wow. I just stared at him and I said, look,
I'll do this for you one time, but I am never coming to
any of your apartments ever again. I never did. He always came to
my house. I never went. I said, I'm not going in.
I will never do it. I will keep my word and never never step
foot in another apartment that you have. I love it and I haven't to
this day. This is UH. A few generations before the h the bluetooth
speakers would blast music to the whole gymneys boom box. Paulie is literally holding
a boombox. Well, they're all looking at each other as they trained Balboa,
Like this guy is not He's not the real deal. No, it's
kind of awkward because it's like the guy there giving the stink guy is the
guy that beat that ass two movies ago. You know, it's like you
put him down. You're putting down the guy who's screaming at him. Even
more so, no putting a jab out right left cross. You've got to
move exactly. How the fuck did he become world champion without moving his head?
Well, he boxed fucking cow carcass Jesus Christ in the butcher shop.
He's hooking, Yeah he is. It was attitude Weathers. He totally is.
There is no tomorrow. He screams at Rocky. Oh that one got
to him. He's looking in the mirror. Now he's wondering who he's become.
I know he's become. Have you ever been of that beach? Yeah,
Santa Monica, I think, oh yeah, Santa Manka Pire right there,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've been there. When I have fucking
the marathon, I ran I fucking nice. I've been there too, I
think to be going together maybe probably, Yeah, that's where marathon. I
ran up and down the beach just like this. Well, no way,
no, no fucking way. Look at stallone's head, idiots, naddys because
he's running so slow. Look at him, come on, come on.
He slowed it down for cinematic effect. I believe it's like it's like rock
The key is not to have more heart. The key is to not let
him hit in the face like that, right, Like he thinks he's gonna
win the fight. By just like if that. That's one like horrible thing
this movie drives home. It's the idea that, like, the only reason
you lose when you get punched in the face over and over again is because
you don't will yourself to shake off the pain. Right, he should have
just gotten up. That's the thing. You're nothing to do with his defense.
His strategy is fucking ploy. He just needed more heart, He had
more heart, He would have done it. No, No, well,
it looks like flashbacks to the fight just stopped him dead in his tracks.
He gave up. He gave up. Is there like an army invasion happening?
What the fuck is out there? That looks like that's clever Leg's naval
fleet breaching the perimeter here Paul cre has called it. It's all over,
He says, Yep, it's clear that Rocky doesn't have it. Hogan's over
in this movie. But yeah, yeah, he's the one guy that comes
on all over Rose. He was the canary in the coal mine. The
way he was able to take it to uh Balboa, that should have been
assigned everybody. But because it was a pro wrestler, no one took it
seriously. No, it's because what he did isn't serious. That's right,
it's fraud. It's fixed body slamming pretend fighters. Why don't you put the
hurting on a real fighter? Rocky? Wow, now she's just walking over
man. That music, Yeah, that's of a particular time, isn't it.
Bill Contey, Ladies and gentlemen? Oh? Is that Bill on the
on the track? Yep? He is the Is he well known? Uh?
Yeah. He did a lot of TV work, a lot of composed
a lot of TV themes. But I'll say his most known work is the
Rocky movies and the Rocky theme, and that's big. Yeah, it's enough
to hang your hat on for a career, I'd say absolutely. I mean,
god, lucky to get one. You know, you're looking to get
anything, let alone fucking Rocky a war to be over? Yeah, that'd
be nice. Jess Terry Bill CONTI is god. He did. He did
Rocky when he was thirty six? Good for him? Is that old or
young? Young? Yeah? The fucking yeah that's true. Most composers have
white hair, don't they. Yeah, I mean now he does. But
like to be to be doing that when you're he's in a lot of stuff.
Good for him the right stuff. He wanted an oscar for the right
stuff. Mhmm, some angle to hold onto the title longer than I should
have had it and angle, yeah right. You know they don't have Philly
accents at all. No, they just straight bronxacks. Yeah. Absolutely,
totally New York loser. He really a fucking losers. Nothing fucking real.
That's what thunder Lips told me. None of it's real, he said,
nothing is real unless you believe in who you are. She's not putting you
through anything, dude. You're helping you and going with you to LA for
no reason. Like she's not taking care of her kid because he's with you.
Why is he screaming at her? He's scared? We got money,
money, money. Oh I see, he's afraid my life. Mm hmm.
You're the only You're the only bitch that's afraid, Rocky. Your wife's
afraid. Your kid's afraid because he doesn't know what the fuck's going on in
those glasses. I'll tell you his kid's afraid because his dad's a fraud.
That's what it is, right. It's like, why do I tell my
friends? Right? Not only is he like a fucking loser, champion,
but he also fought a fake fight with that fucking fake wrestler, loser champion.
That's a tough one to come back from. I'm a loser champion.
So if even if I do win it belt back, there's a there's a
moniker that still fits. You'll put a phrase pink loser, not champion,
Dad, I'm gonna take away champion out of your nickname, just loser.
Don't you know Rocky haven't needed a champion. Heaven need it a staffium.
I'll say that's why he took you. Any truth to the rumor that if
they couldn't come to terms with Slide, that Crockett, Jopp or the Italian
Stallion would have gotten the call. I believe that was the case. There
was a there was a time when they when they when when they were when
they were talking about doing Rocky four, he was like, I don't I
won't do it. I don't want to do it. Well, we'll fucking
rock We'll just get this guy, got this guy here, we'll do it
for free, because he's a fucking loser, down and down in some other
fucking terror. Charlotte and I want to sit here and I want to smoke
my cigar and tell you Stallone that you're a bitch and I don't give a
shit. You either do this fucking movie or I'm wanna make somebody else a
big fucking star. Is Rocky all right, your fucking asshole, the Italian
stallion? No, that's a real large Italian, that's right. I mean,
any Italian stallion at a fucking sandwich shop is going to do you in
big heart to heart here between Adrian and Rocky hit the music. Well,
actually wore pink lipstick out to the fucking beach for the training. I think
atographer is happy about it as well. I don't think so too. Oh
god, his lips are so perverted. That was That was an uninspired little
smooch there. I think I wonder if they keep in touch. I when
they did fust movies together. That's all you. Now, he's got the
now he's ready music hit. The music's hit. We're in a polo shirt.
Now you put the the towel towel, yeah, to catch the sweat?

and he's actually catching up to Apollo Creede. Now even a Paul like,
motherfucker, you going to beat me? She just not Father Karros running from
extorcist. I'm sure it looks like him. See the head movement. We
need Jon what's his name, Jason Miller? Yeah, he was a boxer.
Oh, look, could have pulled away. Look he's coming in.
He's gonna do it strong. Look at that footwork. That's it. Look
at he's dancing. Man, I love that he's fucking dancing. Laughter winning.
Yeah, I have a tiger. I love that. After winning the
heavyweight title of the world. He discovers head movement, after winning the heavyweight
title of the world, discovers Oh, Paul, bitch all we let's get
those snides. Look at the Look at the muscles, look at the look
at the look at the quads. Bobby's eighties striped socks. Right, oh
god, fucking knee highs. Yes, yeah, those will be coming back
any day. Now. Look at him. God, he pulls ahead.
Go keep nodding, Keep nodding. Prevent me from nodding off. Yeah,
and they're gonna make out now they're splashing in the water. Seriously, just
get it on. And this is this is where Apollo creeds whispers in his
ear. I let you beat me. You're really a bitch, rock You're
still a loser. And then that's it. Nope, we can we're back,
but we're back. We're in the world's most famous arena. This is
spectacular, the world's most famous arena. No brought you by Jess McMahon promotions.
I'm sorry that is not here. We go, don't run any strategy.
He's stupid promoter text, work hard, presenting this night of Championship boxing.
Well, he's just hit her. Let're gonna hit you again. That's
where he started. I pity the fool. That is this is where he
started. I mean, it's not where he started. I think he was
doing it before, but he used in the movie and became famous. Got
it he was. I think he always pities the fool is what he said.
It's it's religious something like that. I forget. Sit in an interview
with something ringside. Uh. Commentators weighing the odds, saying they're quite long
for Belbo to reclaim the title tonight. What's your Yeah, prediction, Yes,
prediction. Clubber looks to the camera. What a pain, he's a
lap fan. Yeah, this was meant to be. This whole thing that's
happening right now on Patreon. Mm hmm. There you go. Imagine the
how horrifying that must be if you're a boxer and someone opens your locker room
door and says it's time to fuck out. I don't want to think about
it, like it's time to get punched in the face. I don't care
how ready you think you are. That's gotta be fucking horror. I don't
want it. That's the thing. I don't know. I could never.
Oh there's like because because you have to, you have to build up your
confidence so much that you think you're going to beat somebody, but like you
just make I just don't know. It's confidence that's so easily shaken. Oh.
I know, like one person could say what are you doing and it's
like, yeah, I know what am I doing? I could That's why
I could never be a fighter. I could have never been a fight.
It cracks me up. Like when I talk to people in casual life about
being a huge fight fan, like you ever trained, I'm like no,
what like no fan? Fight miss? When I said not fight, this
isn't this isn't a fantasy of mine, this is an interest of mine.
This is I don't know. Although I can't. A guy I know from
junior High, he he's I don't know if he's I don't know if he's
still fighting not, but he definitely trained to be. I think you saw
him or something something like that, fuck's his name. I think you saw
him one time, or or you went to a a fight, you covered
a fight up in Maine that he was at, or something like that.
Oh really I feel like that happened. Yeah, I'm drawing a blank.
There's the Iron Man from Philadelphia. Rocky Balboa has entered the ring. Yeah,
this is not Madison Squarecard New Way. I wonder where they shot this.
I don't know, probably the Spectrum. Yeah, this broadcast on PRISM.
Yeah right, it comes Clever Lang. Oh yeah, uh C J.
Hobbes, d J. Hobbs. Isn't that James Kahn bus Walter hob
Walter Hobbs. I mean he definitely never fought like crazy things like like like
you know, yeah, local small stuff. Fascinating that. Uh is this
calculation the ta is calling uh apollo boy? Yeah? Yeah, very true.
Huh considering the sensitivity in real life that mister T had to that term,
is that? Uh No, it's not cool. There's a big miscue
on the neck line shaved there from old mister T. Yeah, he kept
the line of his beard down around the Adams Apple, but he he uh
clopped off a fair amount of hair in between there you've got you've got interesting
designs. Well he's got he's got bigger things to worry about. There was
You know, the reason why he got the mohawk cut is because at some
point he was trying to get teas put in his hair, but they look
stupidly, and so he just shaved the sides of his hell. That's fascinating
Rocky Balboa. Everyone loves the white Italian stallion. What do they think of
Clever Lang going with the apollo creed American flag tights. Here's Rocky Balboa.
I think is that is that Rocky on there on his entourages or is that
the Japanese act Pocky. I think Pocky looks like both boom wearing the title.
They boo, they boo the black man kind of going. They cheer,
but they cheer the the man cornered by the black man. Yes,
they come to center. Look at that fucking face off. Now, imagine
like you look like that's like what like less than an inch between their noses.
Imagine looking at me like that right with it, like that's how close
they are. Isn't an amazing how in film it never looks like they're that
close. Yeah, they are right up in their ship. Wow, Like,
how do you like you think about the beating he took in the first
fight and now you're gonna fight that fucking guy again. But now he's now,
he's now, he's got Apollo though. He's training like all movement.
He's been in the in the in the dirty. I've been training in l
A. That's right where they know how to fight. It's right like Philly
with the bell sounds runned away. The big rematch comes out just like last
time, and less than zero defense from clubver Lang once again. Club are
doing just letting get Jesus Christ. It's like Mike Tyson sponge out. It's
like the Wii boxing. Yeah, he has like hit him with three straight
jabs and Clever Lang did nothing right, gross left gross, nothing being offered
in response from Clever Lang. Here, this has like a pez dispenser out
there Boston. Absolutely yeah, challenge just landing a steady diet of jabs.
Here is boutbo. They could have gotten away without doing the sound effects.
It's kind of funny, you know what I mean. Yeah, the braver
of wooden crate sounds, you know what it is? Is that announcer guy.
He's got the stuff he's doing. Sound of a Can I do some
folly work for you, mister Saloon, I'm gonna do it anyway. Not
Lang pulling forward. Look at that now he's fucking doing defensive works. Yeah,
the head movements there, nice fade there, he's firing forward the one
two's. Look at Balboa coming with the straight left. He's My goodness,
you're that great combinations. All clutter Lang's got is right and left hooks from
Downtown. Much more varied punching. I mean that thing, Rocky. It's
a different a different fighter than he was. Right. Oh, clearly they
did a great job of like making that happen. Cluver Lang beside himself and
how Yeah, from what I understand, he pities the fool I'm being told
he pities the fool ladies and gentlemen. He wants to kill the fool water
being administered. That's one guy never got in fighting. Yeah, what squirting
water in the guy's mouth between rounds and he spits it out. It's like,
what, well, you want to have that water in your body?
You want to like? Yeah, I mean like I think about the times
when I've had too much water, and the water sits the wrong way,
ruin your whole fight. But at least you get your mouth wet, get
the spit moving. I mean, I know nothing about boxing. That was
all. No, No, that's that's that's suggested. Sure what it is?
Oh? Look at that steady right jab from Balboa, and and and
and and fucking Tea just taking it absolutely Hammhage goats to town. He's here
to fucking take Rocky Balboa apart. I said Balboa should train with Jean Label.
It appears that mister t did just that. That's a judo hip throw
he's got. He pulled a wait done what a judica is mister t Oh,
he's about to adjudicate this heavy right landing flashbacks? These are like fucking
Vader potatoes Arian, I know, ada ada a. Who's the old man
fucking next there? Not worried? Why aren't you sitting in a box?
Rockey getting knocked all around the ring? He's out at him, falls down
like an accordion. He took a huge bump, bumps hard. I think
you think Terry taught him that bump? I think so, brother. What
you want you do is you want to go inside out like an accordion bowlder.
Someone a home falls How fast that one? Actually from the ninety two
rumble actually would have been Pat Tanaka. Actually, I take it back.
Balbo goes down again, the hungry clubb Lang closing in again with those massive
left hooks to the temple. Even Adrian can't watch anymore. Oh, ain't
so bad. Look at fucking Rocky trash talking. You're not in it,
big face off between rounds, Adrian probably flashing back to the beach where he
said I'm scared. Yeah, she ended up putting on the track to get
back. She could die. He could die. He's my fault. God
incredible. Here we get some Uh we get some? Yeah, I won't
say we get he said he. Rocky says that Clubber is tired. Get
some rumble in the jungle inspiration here by uh dope, by rock I'm the
tiger, the tiger, you understand, rock Time for some rope a dope.
He is tired, the lactic acid filling up in those huge muscles of
one, mister t clubver Lang is Round three is underway. Rope dope,
Yeah, I'd say, is my round? Keep talking? Clubver? Who
you trying to convince Rocky or yourself right, that deep looks so fun,
looks like it looks like Gilbert Godfreed. He's missing and nothing is more exhausting
than missing punches. Oh man, Now he's clipping Rocky big time in the
corner. Body shot puts him against the ropes. Another left the body man
clubver Lang attacking the body viciously. Here hands up defense Rocky at this forehead.
Those punches must be losing their sting. Knock me out, so he
does. But Lang explodes to the body with the white hook. Man.
He is he hitting him with nuclear warheads or a bunch of or animals or
dinosaurs. It's the eighteen twelve overture out here. Jesus is clever leg laying
him in. This fight would have been stopped in any jurisdiction you can imagine.
No, no, not unless the gunshine. New York State Athletic Commissions
par for the course. Here Jerry Cooney falling asleep on the job here referees
you know, discretion, Yeah, sure, that's true. Every comes one,
two comes Rocky, luring him in. He seems ready to attack,
protecting the body nicely. They had the head protecting and answering. Look at
him defense and offense here from Rocky nice avoidance clever lang is is you can
tell he's gassing up here boom and look he's Oh he's lifting him. Yeah,
those spotty shots are literally taking him off his feet and up top.
Here we go, Steady Diet doubling up on the on the hook. All
the Japs pumping, just pummeling him with jabs. Jesus, no fucking person
would be still standing, Steady Diet. Oh my god, this is this
is this is keep him on. This is the era when fucking guys with
machine guns holding under their fucking armpits and shoot and aim and don't miss,
you know, so true? Oh that one landed on his feet. One
more, one more the left is one more all for Fucky Balboa, south
pawl bitch, Come on, take him out left down the pipe down,
he goes, that's it. He may have killed the man. Then they're
on their feet in the garden. So bad for his managers and trainers and
stuff. There that's it and count that's it. That's it. He did
it. Oh look at him looking at he collapses. Great, that was
iconic. Look at the boxing writers chain smoking calling in results. All right,
come on, make some phone calls. They got the guys with the
fucking visors going to the back out on the gate. Where's Onie scolding with
the cash deposit box. God, that was over quick. I mean they
really, I totally forgot this. They just get in there, beat the
ship out. They do. They really do again. You know, it's
again a much more intense fight because unlike the other the previous two movies,
there's no like they would they had a montage, you know, of the
of the movies of the of the fights, like they would go they went
the full fifteen rounds or whatever, where this one they just didn't. Both
fights are showing in their entirety, right, and now they're wearing diapers and
come in and after the fight, they're wearing diapers. Balboa and Creed conversing
red and yellow. Keep in mind Oppo the trilogy. Yeah, I know,
huh, look at this, it's all here. I like how they're
gonna have their that they want to have their rubber match be a fucking exhibition
by themselves, not even not even in front of like an audience. There's
a lot of money you're passing up guys, at least for charity. I
mean, Jesus Christ, have a heart. Balbo and Creed climbing back in
there one more time for an audience is none. It was turnbuckles wrestling ring
does Oh all right, So I think Creed taught Bilebow everything he knows.
It's safe to say that Apaula Creed taught Rocky Bilbo everything he knows. He
didn't teach him everything he knows. However, thank you. That one goes
back to day one. That's it you've been saying that day we men.
It's fucking money. That's why you've ever thought Sewn Michaels everything he knows.
He didn't teach him everything he knows. However, So they're really just gonna
get in there and beat the shadows each other. All this is fun.
Keep in mind they're gonna get bloody and whatever, and they're gonna have fun
doing this. This is where I don't understand fighting. Not a dialogue here.
This is like a thunderdome match, all right, Oh yes, it
is. It totally is. We're watching modern w B product right now,
right, this is this is boxing story. Je freeze frame as soon as
they had leash on each other of all rivals. Leroy Meathn paints the picture.
