11/9/2023 0 Comments Rocky montage training![]() Meanwhile Drago is getting steroid injections, breaking machines and going through sparring partners like Lindsey Lohan goes through nurses. Lifting the wagon with Duke, Paulie and the Wet Blanket in it. Swinging that stockade looking thing on his shoulders. ![]() Leg-lifts that looked impossible to do while Duke says "No pain." the twisting-lifting of the bag of rocks. 2-When Adrian showed up they removed all the razors from the house so Rocky wouldn't kill himself after another depressing lecture from the Wet Blanket. ![]() But now she's flown to Russia, lightened up and given her approval so we can get on with the training. How do we know? The Wet Blanket told him. At this point in the movie we know Rocky can't win. This entire movie is a 80's montage, which is why it's great. Rocky's face is all contorted and his hair is flopping and he's straining and Apollo looks like he's reading a paper. Lastly, Rocky isn't ever beating Apollo in a running race and Apollo just looked like he wasn't trying as hard in the slow-mo shots. I didn't mind the hug, I just didn't need for it to take place in the ocean. Cried"Ĭons: the biggest con has to be the tights shots of the forbidden speedbags as the guys are running on the beach. "also incredible when Apollo Creed trained Rocky in Rocky III and Rocky finally beats him in the 100 yard dash. "the best rocky training montage is 3.thats when he learned how to box and not jus get hit in the face!!!" "definitely Rocky III, the beach with Apollo and in the gym with all the brothers. "definitely Rocky III, because of "The Hug"" The hug is the greatest moment in the history of American cinema." "Rocky 3-sweaty Apollo & Rock on the beach! Wonders 4 race relations & gay rights" Here are some of the positive comments about this montage The hug that launched the phrase "awkward man hug." Who knew that two muscle bound men running in tight shorts, jumping into the ocean and celebrating would cause such a stir. And there is the run and hug on the beach. The pulling of Paulie into the pool was funny. Rocky learning to move with rhythm in the ring as he and Apollo move side-by-side was very cool. Two enemies coming together gets you all warm and fuzzy. Just like McGwire and Sosa, none of us thought 'roids. Pros: First look at the new ripped Rocky. The answer is the Wet Blanket sucked the MAN out of him and now he was terrified of the big meanie who killed his trainer and hit on his woman AT A PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF HIM! "how did everything that was so good get so bad?" Rocky wants to know. How do we know this? Because the Wet Blanket dragged it out of him on the beach. Who wants a wet blanket? Total momentum killer. The other big negative is that when the montage ends and Rocky is jogging home, the Human Wet Blanket, Adrian, is waiting for him. Very similar to the treatment he did in the No Easy Way Out montage. Cons: Didn't like the symbolism of Drafo knocking down sparring partners and Rocky chopping down trees, with the back and forth of each falling to the ground. He's working the speedbag, sawing the wood, chopping down trees, carrying logs through three feet of snow, loading rocks and wearing a harness pulling Paulie in a sleigh like they are in the Iditarod. Rocky is lifting tipped-over, horse-pulled wagons out of the snow and jogging in boots straight from the LL Bean catalogue. Drago is pounding machines and running sprints on a track. Pros: the juxtaposition of Rocky training and Drago training was an eye-grabber. When he was done I wanted to jump on Air Moscow, fly to Russia and kick Drago's ass. It comes right off the one of the two best speeches in Rocky history when Duke gives Rocky the "When Apollo died, a part of me died," speech. Some people mentioned this one specifically. ![]() The song for this one is, believe it or not, "Training Montage" by Vince DiCola.
