Everyone has seen this movie so there is not much I can say. I don't remember it being so raw (it has been 8 years since I've seen it though) and I don't remember Paulie being so awkward about his sister's virginity. Other than that it was the same old ass kicking movie I saw when I was a kid. We shall see how the next five films do in comparison.
Favorite Lines:
Mickey: You're gonna eat lightnin' and you're gonna crap thunder!
Rocky: Don't smoke that. It makes your breath like garbage.
Rocky: I think we make a real sharp couple of coconuts - I'm dumb, you're shy, whaddaya think, huh?
Coconuts...lol...that's where your pick up lines came from? :P
ReplyDeleteLOVE this movie with all my heart.
Yeah, the first one was really good. By the time Rocky has a friendly robot running around the house though.... Well, things may have gotten a little off course.

As a Philadelphian, of course Rocky falls under one of my favorite films of all time. Good luck moving through the sequels. 2 is almost better than 1 and you have to remember one thing about 3:
ReplyDeleteAnnouncer: "What's your prediction for the fight?"
Clubber Lang: "My prediction?"
Announcer: "Yes. Your prediction."
Clubber Lang: "Pain!!"
My wife and I were in Philly recently and got to see the Rocky statue, which was really cool. It really says something about the power of the movie that the statue remains a tourist attraction in a city that houses Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. People give Stallone a lot of crap, but he truly created an iconic American hero with that character.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what ya have to say about the rest of the series!
