All language subtitles for Rocky III (1982).2160p

Creed doesn't know where he is.

It's blind instinct.

But now it is Creed coming back.

Creed with the left hand!

What's keeping
these two guys up?

A tremendous closing moment.

Here comes Balboa back.
But the champion back
with another left.

How they're getting up,
I don't know!

A right hand!
A right hand!

It's Creed!
Now it's Balboa!

Now it's Creed!

And now a tremendous
left by Rocky.

They're standing dead
in the center of the ring,
toe-to-toe.

One.

Two.

Creed will retain the title.

If neither gets up,
it's a draw, and Creed
will win the title.

Four.

Get up, my man.

Five.

Get up.

Six.

Each fighter is trying
to beat the count.

Get up, Rocky!

Eight.

Nine.

The champ is down!

Ten!

You're out!

Balboa got to his
feet and he made it!

Rocky Balboa has
shocked the world!

He is the new heavyweight
champion of the world!

Ladies and gentlemen,

in a stunning upset,
scoring a win by
a knockout,

the new heavyweight
champion of the world,

Rocky Balboa!

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

I just want to say
one thing to my wife,
who's home.

Yo, Adrian, I did it!

I love you.
I love you.

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Hit him one, Rocky!

Risin' up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance,
now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and
his will to survive

So many times,
it happens too fast

You change your
passion for glory

Don't lose your grip
on the dreams of the past

You must fight
just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger,
it's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to
the challenge
of our rival

And the last known
survivor stalks his
prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all
in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds
till we take to the street

For we kill with
the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger,
it's the cream of the fight

Risin' up to
the challenge
of our rival

And the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night

And he's watchin'
us all in the eye

Of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top

Have the guts, got the glory

Went the distance,
now I'm not gonna stop

Just a man and
his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger,
it's the cream of the fight

Risin' up to
the challenge
of our rival

And the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night

And he's watchin'
us all in the eye

Of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger.

I want Balboa!
I want Balboa!

Hear that, old man?
You tell Balboa
I'm coming for him!

Nobody can beat me!
You tell him what I said!

And he's next!
I'm gonna kill him!

Nobody can stop me!
You tell Balboa that!

I'm coming after him!
You tell him!

I want a shot at the title.

I want a shot at the title.

If Balboa's got
the guts to meet
me in the ring,

or anywhere else.

My whole life's been
directed towards this
here title and nothing else.

I live alone and I train alone.

I'll win the title
alone. I want him.

He can't duck me forever.

He can run, but he can't hide.

Well, another
southpaw, heavyweight
champion Rocky Balboa,

doesn't seem to be worried
about much these days.

He's just defended
his title for the
10th time,

and now he's even
agreed to take on

the world heavyweight
wrestling champion

in a sort of charity
benefit, with all
the proceeds

to go to a local
youth foundation.

Now, I'll have to
give him credit.

Mr. Balboa manages
to stay busy.

He's a true sportsman.

And it looks like the
number one contender,
Clubber Lang,

will have to continue to
play the waiting game.

But that should be
a great, great matchup.

Hey, Paulie, take it easy, okay?

Awesome.
Introducing the newest...

Hey, you going?

Hey, hey.
Don't forget to give
Rocky my best, huh?

You know, I've been
coming here years.

How about you
giving me, Paulie,
your best once?

Take it easy, Paul.

Hey, hey, Paulie.

Hey, Paulie, you heard me?

Hey, when you see the
Rock, tell him the boys
all said, "Hey!"

40 thousand.

Nice try.
Nice try.

I got another one.

Paulie.

You want to hear I owe you?

You, I owe nothing.

No, you don't owe me nothing.

So what do you want I should do?

My sister ain't here?

She's home.

You know, me and her
used to be tight
until you come in.

I raise her,
she don't come down.

She don't know about this.

You and her
can go to hell,
you know that?

Hey, watch your mouth, Paulie.

You gonna whack me?
I don't sweat you.

I don't sweat you.
Come on.

Oh, come on, Paul,
why don't you screw
your head on right.

No, it ain't my head.

Your freaking head is
the one on wrong.

Yeah? Well,
what did I do?

What'd you do?
Nothing.

For yourself, oh, nice.

Look, you fixed
your face up handsome.

Nice clothes.

What did you do for
Paulie? Anything?

Three years,
did you get me
a job?

Look at this. You gave
me a lousy, stinking
Ex-Lax watch. This!

Hey, Paulie.

What?

What? There,
that's right.

No, leave it down!

It never kept good time anyway.

You know, you forget
when you were a punk

and those guys used
to laugh at you because
you were so jive.

Who used to whack them bums out?

They laughed at both of us.

No one laughed at me.

Tell me. Who fixed
you up with your
first woman?

Me, Paulie!
I was responsible!

She was pregnant.

So what? You was
no prize either.

You know, I always
give you. I give you.

What do you do?
You buy a new house,
you move Mick in, right?

Did you ask me?
Is there something
the matter with me?

I got feelings,
you know? This
ain't cardboard.

Everybody's got them, Paulie.

The hell with everybody.

No, maybe it's
the hell with you.

I don't wanna listen
to this crap.

Come on, you talk like
everybody owes you
a living.

Shut your mouth!

Look, nobody owes
nobody nothing.
You owe yourself.

You're wrong!
Friends owe!

Friends don't owe.

They do because they want to do.

Shut your freaking mouth.
You been keeping me down!

Down?

You know, you're like
a crazy brother to me.
You really are.

So I want to tell
you something.
This is coming

straight from the heart, Paulie.

And I mean this.

You ain't down,
and you ain't a loser.

You're just a jealous, lazy bum.

Okay, I'm gonna
break your mouth.

I'm gonna bust your mouth up!

Can I have a job?

All you had to do was ask.

You punch pretty good.

Think so?
Superb.

It cost a lot, huh?

Yeah, a few bucks.

Got an extra one?

Any trouble with Paulie tonight?

Nah, nothing unusual.

Are you really gonna
fight that wrestler?
They're so big.

That's all right, it'll be fun.

You mind
if I serenade
you a while?

Come on, it's your part.
What are you doing?

Come on.
You can do it.

No.

Come on, Rocky,
you're gonna wake
the baby.

Adrian, come on,
let's do a duet.

No, no. That's good,
but it's not "doe, doe."

It's "doo, doo,
doo, doo."

That's good, darling.

I've been told

By people and they all

Say they'd take me back

Take me back like before

What's the matter?

I don't know any more
of that composition.

Hmm.

Maybe we're lucky.

Yeah. Maybe
we're very lucky.

Very lucky.
Hmm.

Well, howdy,
howdy, howdy, sports fans.

This is Dennis
James with Jim Healy
down here at ringside.

Tonight we have
a most unlikely
match for you.

The boxer against the wrestler,

with all the proceeds
going to charity.

What's your feelings
about a boxer

against a wrestler
in the same ring?

Well, you know what
the age-old theory is,
that the wrestler,

once he grabs that boxer,
that's all she wrote.

What the hell goes
on inside your head?

Anything normal functions?

Yeah, there's a few,
there's a few.

I don't think so.
Because to fight
a creature like this,

you gotta have
about 100 pounds
of brain damage.

I seen wrestlers
that was bigger
than dinosaurs.

You ever fight
a dinosaur, kid?
No, not lately.

They can cause
a variety of damage.

Oh, yeah?

The wrestling champion
of the world is now
entering the arena.

I tell you, he is quite a sight.

All decked out in red.

Why are they carrying him?

He's walking.

I'm coming after you, Balboa.

Let's call it off.

Oh, come on, it's for charity.

You're wearing
your anatomy out
for charity.

Nobody else does
this much for charity.

Bob Hope would.

That's true.

Rocky, you better call Bob Hope.

To all my love slaves out there,

Thunderlips is here
in the flesh, baby!

Oh, my God!

The ultimate male versus
the ultimate meatball.

Boy, he is a monster.

How much would you take
even to get in the ring
with him?

Would you
like to start at
Fort Knox?

In the white corner,
an incredible sight.

Standing nearly seven feet,

weighing 390 pounds.

Large, ain't he?
The undisputed

wrestling champion
of the world...

That's the biggest
arm in the world!

A man who calls himself
"the ultimate object
of desire,"

"the mountain
of molten lust."

The one, the only Thunderlips!

You're all trash!
You're all trash!

You're all trash!
You're all trash!

The slugger from Philadelphia...

You'd better shut up!

I'll break him in half.

How much do you think he eats?

About 202 pounds.

Weighing 202 pounds,

the reigning heavyweight
champion of the world,

Rocky Balboa.

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Come to the center
of the ring, please.

Okay, come on, Mick.

All right, you guys,
you know this is for fun,

so take it easy
and give them
a good show.

Listen, after the match,
how about we get
a Polaroid together, okay?

You're in trouble!

He got me mad.
I'm gonna break him
in half like this.

Come on,
Rocky, you can
take him.

Seems like lately,
everybody wants
to beat me up.

This is
entertainment.
It's fun and games.

Stay away, make faces,
move around the ring.

Got it, kid?
All right.
He is the ring.

I get nervous
every time he does that.

Whoa. You move pretty
fast for a big guy,
you know that?

Listen, why don't
we just move around
a little bit?

You know, like,
give them a good show.

First I'll chase you
and you chase me, okay?

How's that?
All right?
I'll go easy.

Here you go.
That okay?

Stay away from him!
Does that hurt?
You all right?

Don't miss.

How's that, okay?
Not bad, huh?

Come on,
meatball. Come on.

Hey.

Think it's all fake,
meatball? All fake!

Thunderlips has gone
absolutely berserk.

Run for your life!

Blast off, meatball.

Get up, boy!
Come on, meatball,
get some of this right here!

Rocko, remember
the neighborhood!

Get out of his way!

No, no, no! Not yet,
not for the meatball.

I'm not done with him yet, boy.

If I can't break your
spirit, I sure enough
can break your back.

Is Daddy having fun?

Of course.

Somebody hand me a hatchet.

Holy smoke!

Here we go,
baby! Lights out, meatball!

Oh, my God! Balboa
is really in pain.

No one can believe
the superhuman strength
of Thunderlips.

I am the man.

Stop him, will you?

You want this punching bag?

Adrian!

Rocky!
Then you got him!

Catch me!

That's incredible!
Balboa was just heaved clear
into the fifth row!

Now the fans are outraged, too.

Now you got me mad!
I'm gonna drag him down
the aisle like a dirty rag!

You weakling, Balboa.

Take it easy.
Take it easy!

What is it,
Mickey? You okay?

It's my heart.

The security
guards are rushing
out to stop this.

People are flying
everywhere! Teeth
are flying!

Cut my gloves off.

What, you finished?

Come on, cut my gloves off!

That place is a zoo!
This place has
turned into a zoo!

This is very, very...

Want me to get
a doctor? You sure?

The girls have
gotten into it now.

They're getting beat up, too.

Where are you
going, you fool?
I'll be right back.

You're a maniac!
Come back here!

What are you doing?

Come back here!

Come on! You!

Get out of my way,
worms! I'm coming up!

Come on! Come on!

All right,
Thunderlips, break
it up! Break it up!

No choking!
No choking!

Paulie, don't!

No, I don't sweat you.

Hang on there, kid!

How do you like it, huh?

You're kind of cute!

I don't need this.

Rocky is
out-and-out
strangling him.

Rocky hanging on
like a bull terrier.

Now he's got him
in a stranglehold.

Rocky! Rocky!

The body!

Knock his block off!

Timber!

It's unbelievable!
Rocky actually did it!

The human skyscraper
has been thrown out
of the ring!

All right,
that's it, that's it.
Time is up.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a draw. A draw.

Thank you all for
attending this 12th
annual charity match

between the Italian
Stallion, Rocky Balboa,

and Thunderlips,
the Ultimate Male.

See you next year.
Thank God.

Are you all right?
Yeah, pretty good.

Good match.

Hey, why'd you
get so crazy on
me out there?

That's the name of the game.

Well, listen,
while you're
still calm,

can we get that
Polaroid together?

Yeah, sure.

Adrian, come on over here.

My wife, Adrian.
My kid.

That's Thunderlips.
Would you do that?

- That hurt.
- Okay, that's all right.

You know, sometimes
charity really hurts.

And this Pinocchio,
he told a lie, you see,

and his nose started
growing real big.

Why didn't his ears grow?

I don't know. I didn't
write the story there.

Are you fighting again?

Today? No, I don't
plan on fighting today.

Promise?

Promise.
Definitely,
I promise.

Good, I like you here.

Yeah? Well, I like
being here.

Are you getting hungry?

Huh? You want
some breakfast?
Yeah.

What do you
want, Wheaties?
Yeah.

What are Wheaties?
Champions!

Breakfast of what?
Champions! Champions.

And the father bear,
he says, "Somebody's
been sleeping in my bed."

And the little kid bear
said, "Somebody's been
sleeping in my bed

"and there she is."

Thereby, he pulls
back the covers,

and thereby exposing
her to the, you know,
public, see?

Come on, eat your cereal
before it sinks. Hurry up.

Then what
happened to
Goldilocks?

Happened to her?
I'm not exactly sure.

Busted for trespassing
and got 30 days
in the cooler.

Oh, that's real nice, Paulie.

That's nice to tell the kid.

Rocky. Rocky,
the car is waiting.

Go ahead. You
guys better go.

Be a good boy, now.

We'll have a fun time,
me and the kid.

All right.

Mrs. Stallion, you
almost look pretty good.

Oh, thank you, Paulie.

Don't give the kid
any beer, all right?

Okay, we got to go. And
Paulie, don't take him
to the track, all right?

How you doing, Mick?

Pretty good.

Now, we got
a problem in
the seventh.

Whatever happened
to them quiet, tender
moments, huh?

Thank you. Thank you,
one and all.

Every once in a while,
a person comes along
who defies the odds.

Who defies logic
and fulfills
an incredible dream.

On behalf of all
the citizens of
Philadelphia

and the many who
have been touched
by your accomplishments

and your untiring participation

in this city's many
charity functions,

it is with tremendous
honor that we present
this memorial

which will stand
always as a celebration

to the indomitable
spirit of man.

Philadelphia salutes
its favorite son,
Rocky Balboa!

It's beautiful.

Definitely a thing of beauty.

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I don't know, what do
you say to something
like this?

About three years ago,

this city really took
me inside, you know?

And I want to
thank you very much
for that. I really do.

And I've been thinking that...

I wasn't gonna bring
this up, but I might
as well, now.

I would never do anything
to hurt this sport

that has been
so really good to me.

I've been talking
it over with my wife
and my manager,

and we think that...

It's really hard
to do this. I feel
like a bum.

I'm thinking maybe
it's time that I should

step down, maybe, and retire.

No! No! No!

No, you can't do that, Rocky.

Getting out while you can?

Don't give this
sucker no statue.
Give him guts.

I told you I wasn't going away.

You got your shot,
now give me mine.

Why don't you get
the hell out of there!

Shut up, old man.
I ain't going nowhere.

Why don't you tell
all these nice folks
why you been ducking me?

Politics, man. This country
wants to keep me down.

Keep everybody weak.

They don't want
a man like me to
have the title,

because I'm not a puppet
like that fool up there.

You know, you've got
a big mouth, you know.

Why don't you come down
and close it, Balboa?
Come on!

Anytime.

That guy's crazy.
Don't listen to him.

The little man don't
wanna come to me,

then I'll come to
you people and lay
out the truth.

I am ranked
number one. One!

That means I'm the best.

But this bum is taking
the easy matches,
fighting other bums.

I'm telling you
and everybody here

I'll fight him anywhere,
anytime, for nothing.

Fight him,
Rock! Fight him!

But you people
ain't never gonna
see that happen

because he's gonna retire.

You see? He don't
fight no real man.

He fights them setups.
What?

You're a disgrace to the sport.

Shut up, old man!
You and that chump

don't know where
I had to come from.

Balboa, your family's
doing real nice, ain't it?

You call yourself
a fighter? Prove
it now.

Give me the same chance.

The way he's been
ducking me is a disgrace.

If he ain't no coward,
why don't he fight me,
then?

I can't listen to
any more of this.
Hey, anytime...

I don't care what you're ranked.

You don't get no shot,
and I mean that!

I'm glad
you people are seeing
this here.

What are you doing?
I want to fight this guy.

Well, you got him.

But you'll fight him without me.

What are you saying?
It's finished.

Yes, I'm finished.

I don't want no more of this.

I don't want no more,
you understand?

None of it!
It's over with!

Hey, woman.
Hey, woman!
Listen here.

Since your man
ain't got no heart,

maybe you'd like
to see a real man.

I bet you stay up
late every night

dreaming you had
a real man, don't you?

I'll tell you what.
Bring your pretty
little self

over to my apartment tonight,

and I'll show you a real man.

You want it, you got it!

You got it!

Rocky, don't. Come
on, Rocky, please,
let's go talk.

Adrian.
Rocky, don't.

Rocky! Let's talk.

Why'd you leave?

Why'd you walk away like that?

Life's too short, kid.

Where you going?

I'm going on a
permanent vacation.

What are you talking about?
We got one more fight.

No, no. Not we, you.

Why are you doing this?

I said, why are you doing this?

Because you can't win, Rock!

This guy will kill you
to death inside of
three rounds!

You're crazy.

What else is new?

He's just another fighter.

No, he ain't just
another fighter.

This guy is
a wrecking machine,
and he's hungry!

Hell, you ain't been
hungry since you won
that belt!

What are you talking
about? I've had 10
title defenses.

That was easy!

What do you mean, easy?

They was hand-picked!

Setups?
No, they weren't setups.

They was good fighters,
but they wasn't
killers like this guy.

He'll knock you
into tomorrow, Rock.

Jeez, Mick.

Why'd you do it?

Because the beating that you got

from Apollo should
have killed you, kid.

It didn't.

It was my job to
keep you winning
and to keep you healthy.

You really don't
think I got nothing
left, do you?

Well, Rock, let's
put it this way.

Three years ago
you was supernatural.

You was...
You was hard
and you was nasty

and you had this cast-iron jaw.

But then the worst
thing happened to you

that could happen
to any fighter.

You got civilized. Yeah.

Don't worry, kid.

You know,
presidents retire,
generals retire,

horses retire,
Man o' War retired.

They put him out to stud.

That's what you
should've done, retire.

I can't retire
knowing all this,
Mick.

Don't push it.
Well, you been
carrying me.

We don't need it.

You been carrying me, though.

I haven't been carrying you.

I've been protecting you.

No. Look, I want
this fight. Just
one more.

No, we don't need it.

I'll live in the gym.

We don't need it.

Mick, I do.

I'm asking you
to train me one
last time.

Oh, no, I can't.

If you don't,

I'm gonna tell everybody
you ain't bought a new pair
of underwear in 10 years.

You would, wouldn't you?

Yeah, absolutely.

No, no.

Come on.

One more time, it's over.

It's a deal?
Come on, come on.

It's your head, kid.
It's your head.

Yeah, it is.
Thanks, Mick.

Pushin', gettin'
ready for the fight

Pushin', every day and night

Pushin', gettin' ready
for the fight

Pushin', every day and night

Pushin', gettin' ready
for the fight...

Rocky robes here.
Get your Rocky robes
here. Hot off the truck.

Rocky robes, hot off the truck.

Clean stuff.
Get your robes.

On the night of the fight

I will survive

There's nowhere to run,
there's nowhere to hide

On the night of the fight

It's just you and I

There's nowhere to run,
there's nowhere to hide...

Right here.
Once in a lifetime!

Get your buttons here!

You can't stand
toe-to-toe with this guy

or he'll deposit
you up there on Mars.

He's too tough.
He's too strong.

Listen, how the hell
can we train in this
creep joint here?

I mean, this is kind of a house

of ill reputes or
something, isn't it?

Why did you rent this joint?

Oh, come on, Mickey.
Let's go out in style,
okay?

You wanna go out in style,
go out in one piece!

Now, come on,
let's get out
of here!

Let's go back to
the old gym, will you?

Let's get some
blood and sweat
and tears around you!

Can we do that?

Hey, will you just
relax and enjoy it,
okay?

They love it, Mick.

Go on, fight!
Fight now, go ahead!

Fight it, fight it.
Get rough, get tough.

Get brutal.
That's it.

Excuse me.
Could I get
a kiss?

Yeah, sure.

Get out of here, will you?

This is like fighting in a zoo.

This is a zoo, you know?

Is that the way you
train for Clubber?

He ain't gonna kiss you.

He's gonna kill you,
you know that?

Go on. Get
out of here!

Rock, how about
a picture?
Yeah, sure.

There you go.
Rock.

Rocky! Rocky!

Put a little speed on there.

Put a little speed on there.

Thattaboy.
That's it.

All right, this will
tell us the story.

That's it! Side to side!
Side to side, Rock!

Shut up back there, can't you?

Change your tune or...

That's it. Pull
front punches.
That's it, kid.

You're a deadly weapon.

Time! Time, time,
time. Quit it.

You're okay.
Come on.

Here. Put this on
before you catch
pneumonia.

Okay.
I'll give you
a little rubdown, too.

Yeah.
And listen, kid.

I don't like to hear
much of what comes out
of people's mouths

and I don't like
soft-talking moments.

That's for sure.

You know,
but I just wanna
tell you one thing,

that I'm proud of you.

Well, thanks a lot.

That's all right, kid.

Let's get out of
here, shall we?
Hey, Mick.

Yeah?

What do you think
we're gonna do when
it's all over, huh?

I don't know. Maybe
join up with a circus
or something. All right.

Yeah, maybe.
All right,
let's get out.

Good evening,
everyone. Along with Bill
Baldwin, I'm Stu Nahan.

And we welcome you to
tonight's heavyweight
title fight

which may prove to be
the most memorable of all.

For tonight is
the champion's final

and perhaps most
difficult title defense.

Rocky, do you feel
you're in the best
shape of your career?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I feel real good.

He's a deadly weapon,
he's one of a kind.
And he's gonna do it.

Clubber,
do you think you're
as fast as Balboa?

I don't wanna do no
talking. I'll do my
talking in the ring.

Clubber, dance for us.

I told you,
you better get
out of here!

I want to be alone!

Will you
retire after this fight?

Oh, yeah, this is
the last one for sure.

After this, me and
Mick are finished.

This is definitely the last one.

You're all parasites
and leeches.

Get out of here!

What will you do after tonight?

I'm not sure.

Maybe join the circus,
huh, Mick?

Yeah, have some fun.

Come on, take your robe off.

Come on, take off your robe!

I told you to
get out of my face!

With us this
evening is
the former

heavyweight champion
of the world,

Apollo Creed.

Do you have any
predictions on
this fight?

How do you see this
fight going tonight?

Well, I feel that strength
would have to go to
the challenger,

while experience and
the world's hardest head

would have to go
to Rocky Balboa.

And you know I know about that.

Now remember, Rock,
don't trade with this guy.

Take your time.
Wear him down.

But don't stand
toe-to-toe with him.
Mmm-hmm.

This punk's never been
15 rounds before.

Take him good.
Okay.

Take him good.
I will.

That's it.

So I predict that
the champ's gonna
take this one.

Now, wait a minute. Do
you really think the champ
can hit that hard?

Why do you think
I'm sitting out
here with you?

Hey, sucker!

Balboa, you gone, you finished!

You through! You washed
up! I'm the baddest in
the world!

You don't look so bad to me.

What you say, paper champion?

I'm gonna beat you like a dog.

A dog, you hear me!

Can't you get that
ape back into the ring?

You made me
wait too long!
You gonna pay!

Come on, mouth!
Get out of my way.

Get him out of there, can't you?

Get him out of there!

Get out of my way!
Get out of my way!

Back up.

You know
who I am? You know
who I am?

I'm the man!
I'm the man!

You're dead meat!
You're dead meat!
Let me go!

Rocky! Rocky!

Get off!

What's the
matter? Mick!

What's wrong, Adrian?
Get a doctor!

Somebody get a doctor!
Come on!

Sit here, Mick.
Get them out of here.

Get them out of here!

Come on, Mick,
will you sit
on the table?

Mick? Mick!
I'm all right.

Just take a deep
breath. Get those
guys out of here!

Move! Mick, will
you sit on the...

Paulie. Paulie, tell
them the fight's off.
Go on. Go on!

No! The fight's
not off.

What, are you
out of your mind
or something?

The fight's on.
Are you crazy?

Mick, we can't.
Not tonight. I ain't
fighting...

Yes, tonight.
We're gonna fight.

Just let me get
my breath. Can't
I get my breath?

Is that against
the rules or
something?

Mick... Will you
please get a doctor?

Paulie, go on.
He's on his way.

Mick, I can't go
out there and
fight like this.

I can't go out there like this.

Now, get out there.
Get going, will you?

Take him.
Take him good.

Get it over with, why don't you?

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Adrian, what am
I supposed to do?

What the hell do
you mean, what are
you supposed to do?

After all these years
together, you don't know
what to do?

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.

Now get out there and do it!

Do it.

Do it!

You're the best.

Okay. Okay.

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Oh, my God.

Adrian, take care of him.
Take care of him.

Well, good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to the feature event

for the heavyweight
championship of the world.

And, fans, with us
tonight, truly one
of the fistic greats.

He's coming up from
ringside, the Master
of Disaster,

the King of Sting,
the one and only
Apollo Creed!

And there he is,
the former heavyweight

champion of the world,
Apollo Creed.

Stu, he looks like $9 million.

Get out of my face.

I don't need
nothing you
got no more.

Don't need no has-been
messing in my corner.

And you better get that
bad look off your face
before I knock it off!

Come on. Want to jump?
Jump, come on.

Come on, Creed.
Come on.

Yeah, come on. Yeah,
just like a chicken.
You better run.

Give everybody a present
and drop this chump,
all right?

All right.
Good luck to you.

All right, fans, here we go.

Presenting to you,
on my left, out of
the blue corner,

hailing from Chicago,
weighing in at
an even 235 pounds,

the world's number
one challenger...

I wonder how Mick's doing.

The undefeated Clubber Lang.

I'm the best.
I'm the best.
I'm the best.

You and Clubber
exchanged words up there.
Any comment?

I have no comment.

And his
opponent in the
opposite corner

really needing
no introduction
the world over.

He weighs in at
a trim 201 pounds,

the pride of Philadelphia,
the Italian Stallion,

and the reigning heavyweight
champion of the world,

Rocky Balboa!

Listen to this crowd.

Now to give
instructions in the
middle of the ring,

the referee, Marty Denkin.

Clubber, Rocky,
you know the rules.

I want a good, clean fight.

When I tell you
to break, I want
you to step back

at my command and break.

Now, go back to the
corner and come out
fighting at the bell.

Dead meat.

This is
not gonna be a fight
of finesse.

These are two guys
that really throw punches.

This thing could end
with one punch.
The chump is scared.

Scared. Scared.
Yeah. Tear him
up, champ.

See the look in his eyes?

I'm no trainer. Just
go out and kill the guy.
Kill him, Rock.

He's scared.

I'm the new champion.
I'm the new champion
as of today.

I'm the new
champion as
of today.

The Italian Stallion.
A rugged champion

in the final fight
of his colorful
career tonight.

And Jimmy Lennon was correct.

He looks like...
Well, just great.

Here we go!
Oh, boy, the champion
came out swinging.

Break his head!

Balboa's off to
an incredible start!

He looks determined
to destroy the bigger
challenger.

Clubber, get in
there, get in there!

Move him back.
Move him back.

Defense!

Now it is Balboa.

They're going at each other now.

You got him!
You got him, Rock!

Double up!
Double up!

Come on. Come on,
Balboa! Come on!

The challenger is
hitting him with
everything he's got.

No!

Come on, Balboa!

Come on, Balboa!
Make me weak.

Come on, Balboa!
Come on.

Clubber away.
Trying to get him
back to his corner.

Grab him, Paulie.

Where's Mick?
Where's Mick?

He's okay.

I need him now.
I need him here.

He ain't nothing. I told
you he ain't nothing.
He ain't nothing.

He's too strong.

Don't talk like
that, Rocko.
Come on.

Tear him up!
I'm gonna smoke him.

I'm gonna smoke him.
I'm gonna smoke him.

I can't keep him off.
I can't keep him off.

He's mine.
He's mine!

I'm gonna get him!
I'm gonna get him!

I'm losing it, Paulie.
Where's Mick?

What do
you got there?
200 over 50.

All right, let's start CPR.

Rock, you can do it.

I'll try.

Rocky appears to be staggering.

Yeah, I'll get him.

Coming out of
the corner, here
comes Clubber.

Come on, Rocky,
show him. Let's go.
Come on.

Come on, Balboa! Come on!
Come on, oversized hick!
Give it to me.

Let's see what
you can do.
Bring it to me!

Move on the inside!

The champion is nearly helpless.

My gosh, what
a beating he's
taking.

Don't stand toe-to-toe with him!

Come on, Balboa!

Get up!

Get up, sucker!

Five. Six.
Come on, get up! Get up!

Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.
You're out!

The champion is finished!

I did it!
I'm the best!
In the second round!

I'm the man!
I beat Balboa!

Unbelievable.
Incredible upset.

Balboa in the corner,
out on his feet.
Out of the plank.

We have the time.

The winner by knockout,

the new heavyweight champion
of the world, Clubber Lang!

Yeah, I told you.
I told you I'd do it.

Yeah! I'm the new
champ of the world!

Come on, get out of here!

Get out of here, now.

Oh, Rocky, what happened?

I'm all right, how's Mick?

He wouldn't go
to the hospital
till you got here.

What?
Mr. Balboa,
time is important.

We must get him
to the hospital
immediately.

Okay.

Mick?

Yeah?

Mick.

What? What? What?
Is it over?

Yeah, it's all over.

Hey, listen, what happened?

It was a knockout.

What round?
What round?

Second round.

Yeah, I knew it.

That's good.
We did it, huh?

We did it.
We did it.
All right.

You don't have
to worry about
nothing no more.

No. Good.

Everything's
gonna be okay,
Mick.

You know?
Yeah. I knew
that we did it.

You gotta get to the hospital.

You're not as young
as you used to be.

You're the winner.

We did everything right.
I did everything...

No, no, listen.
We ain't done
everything right.

Listen, we got more to do.

Mick, whatever you
wanna do, we'll do
it, okay?

I love you, kid.
I love you.

Mick?

It hurts me.

Mick?

Mick?

Mick.

Oh, God!

Don't go away, please, don't.

All the things we didn't do.

We got more
to do. We got...

Oh, my God!
Oh, Jesus.

This concludes our service.

That's not the way to do it.

Who's that?

Why don't you
hit it straight?
Step into it.

Apollo?

Right. I waited
at your house for
about an hour

and your wife said
you might be here.

What are you doing here?

Business.

If the papers knew
we were talking
like this,

they'd think we was crazy.

Why you?

Because I'm the best,
and you need somebody
to teach you different.

Why?
Well, to be honest with you,

I don't think
you could pull it off
without me, Rock.

You still didn't give
me the answer, Apollo.
What's the real reason?

Listen. It's quiet,
isn't it?

When you retire, it's too quiet.

I mean, we're too
young to retire anyway.

Besides, with the right touch,

I could promote this
thing into the biggest
gig of all time.

It'd be bigger than ours.

Heaven knows,
I don't mind being involved
with large numbers, right?

I don't need this
no more. I...

I don't want this no more.

Look, man.
When you beat me,
I hurt all over

and I didn't want to know
from nothing or nobody,
not even my kids.

Hell, every fighter
knows that hurt.

And we get sick inside
trying to live with it,
so don't back off now.

Make it right for
yourself or you'll
be sorry you didn't.

We held the greatest
title in the whole
world, babe.

You lost that fight,
Rock, for all the
wrong reasons.

You lost your edge.

All right, I know your
manager dying had you
all messed up inside.

But the truth is,
you didn't look
hungry.

Now, when we fought,

you had that eye
of the tiger, man,
the edge.

And now you gotta get it back.

And the way to get it
back is to go back
to the beginning.

You know what I mean?

Maybe we could win
it back together.

Eye of the tiger, man.

Why'd you have to come here?

I have the plan.
Get back, man.

You got me curious.

You got me curious, Rock.

Clubber, do you accept
the challenge for
a rematch with Balboa?

I reject the challenge,
because Balboa is
no challenge.

But I'd be more than
happy to beat up on
him some more.

I always said he was nothing.

I can't wait to
see this bum fall.

What do you think
of him being trained
by Apollo Creed?

Apollo who?

You talking about
that old fool,
Apollo Creed?

Shucks, one has-been
teaching another.
Yeah, just keep talking, pal.

That's all
Apollo been doing...
Keep talking.

Running off at the mouth lately.

And when I see him,
I'm gonna close it
for him.

All right. When will
the match take place?

The sooner, the better.

I'm the champion of the world.

And nothing can
be done about that.

I can't be beat,
and I won't be beat.

This time I'm gonna
train even harder.

There won't be no
quick knockdowns.

I'm gonna torture him.

I'm gonna crucify him real bad.

Hard words from a hard man.

The odds against Balboa
making a comeback at 34

are very long indeed.

Can he do it?
Most experts doubt it.

Balboa was a fine
champion, but his time has
passed. I wish him luck.

Don't listen to it, Rocky.

No, do listen to it, Rock.

When this is over, a lot
of folks are gonna owe
you an engraved apology.

And you're gonna
owe me a big favor.

What favor?

When it's over.

Rocko, come on.
We're gonna be late at
the airport.

Let's go.
Think we
forgot anything?

I think
we have it all.
Maybe another sweater.

No, California's not that cold.

It's great, great.
A scorcher.

Okay, listen,
I want you to be
a good boy, okay?

Okay.
And don't give
anybody a hard time.

Okay.
Give me a kiss. Yeah.

We'll call
when we land.
Yeah, we'll call.

You'll be a good
boy? All right.

I'll bring you back something.

I been told by

Some people and they all

Say to take you back

Take you back like before

I don't call that a reason

I just call it
believin' in myself

Believin' in myself

What the hell are
we doing here in LA?

Hey, man, this is
where I started.

Yeah, so?

So this is where he's starting.

But this place is disgusting.

Why don't we stay at your place?

Look, I think
you're missing
the point.

Let's just go on and
check in and get over
to the gym, all right?

Rock, in my opinion,
we don't need this place.

It's below you
and the sister's
standard.

We're gonna give
it a try, Paulie.
Come on, Adrian.

I don't even have a gun.

You know, fun is fun.

I like those kind of things,
but this I don't like.
Look at this place.

Rats even have more
pride than to be
caught dead here.

I mean, look at the dump.

I just don't like it.

- Think of Adrian's health.
- I'm fine, Paulie.

Balboa.

What's he doing out here?

This is where I started.

That's your problem.

Rocko, let's leave
before they leave
us for dead.

Yeah, you see
that look in
their eyes, Rock?

When we fought, Rock,
I trained hard,

but I didn't have
that look in my eyes.

You had it.
You won.

You gotta get
that look back, Rock.

Eye of the tiger, man.

Eye of the tiger, come on.

Come on, let's go.

Look at this place.
No class in here.

Is he always so cheerful?

I don't sweat you.

Hey. Hey, Paulie.
Don't get mentally
irregular.

It's a free country.

Just don't
get irregular,
all right?

I don't need no
philosophy lesson here.

Well, it just takes
about six years to
get to know...

Well, I ain't got six years.

Hey, come on,
Paulie. Just relax.

Come on.
We're on
business.

Hey! Hey, champ!

Hey, Duke, my man.

Hey, everything's
set up and ready
to go, baby.

Good. I know you
know who this man
is, don't you?

Yeah. It's gonna
be good working
with you.

Certainly had enough
of working against you.

Hey, how you feel?
Pretty good, thanks.

He's doing great.
We've been living
modern,

but now we're gonna train old.

I'm going over here
and talk to some of
the guys, all right.

Hey! The
champ is home!

We gotta leave.
I got a reputation.

What do you mean, reputation?

You heard.
I don't like
these people.

You don't like them?

Maybe they don't
like you either,
Paulie.

What'd I do to them?

And they call me punchy.

Hey, Stallion, Stallion,
come on over here and
meet some of the fellas.

I'll be right back.

How you doing, guys?

That's it,
that's it. Come on,
on the toes.

On the toes, on the toes.

On the toes, come on.

On the toes, on the toes.

Come on, Rock.

He ain't too graceful.

That's why we're here, Paulie.

Waste of time.
He's got heavy feet.

Get on the balls of your feet.

Come on, relax, Rock.

Come on, get those
feet out of the
concrete. Come on.

It'll take time, but it'll come.

He can't train to
the jungle junk music.

Come on, relax, Rock.
Here we go.
Here we go, come on.

On the balls
of your feet.
Balance.

Let your body find the rhythm.

Gonna start a new
dance called the crawl.

I'm telling you,
you can't train him
like a colored fighter.

He ain't got no rhythm.

All right?
Come on.

How stupid do I look?

You look great.
You look great.

Everything we do
works off the jab.
You can do it.

Yeah.

Can he swim?

With a name like Rock?

No time to
waste! Let's go!

Another lap!
Another lap!

Move it!
Another lap!

He ain't no tuna.
We belong back
in the gym.

Look, he's gotta
stretch and use
muscles

he never thought
he had. Come on,
Rock!

Come on, stretch now!

Come on, move it,
Rock! Move it!

Nobody can change that much.

He's a bruiser.
He ain't no boxer.

You keep telling
him that and he'll
be nothing.

You know?
Yeah?

Another lap!
Come on now!
Move it!

Move it! Come on!
Move it, Rock!
Move it!

Come on, let's go.
Let's go!

That's it, stretch it!
Stretch it out!

That's it, let's go.
You gotta pull.
Hard now, hard!

Shut up, you Sterno bums!
I'll squash you!

There's decent
people trying
to sleep!

Shut up, you honky
scum bastard mother!

Who needs this sick place?

I don't.

No class.

Damn, that Clubber's strong.

Fifteen rounds is a long time.

We gotta put him away early.

I figure with the
pace we gotta set,

Rock can last maybe
seven or eight rounds.

Then we'll be out of steam, man.

We got to put him away early.

At least the water's hot.

Well, we never
really had
a honeymoon.

It's not so bad.

We've been in worse places.

In the corner,
Rocky's in trouble
in round two!

He takes a right!
Another right!

He's been cut!
Rocky's been cut!

Come on, Rock.
Come on, come on, now.

Come on.
You gotta get tougher.
You gotta get tougher.

Think smooth.
Think smooth.

Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.

Toes, toes, on your toes, Rock.

On your toes!
On your toes!
On your toes!

Push yourself, Rock!
Concentrate.

Let's move it, Rock!
Move it, now!

Come on, Rock, come on!

Have fun with this.
Have fun with it.

That's it.
Easy, easy, easy.

Smooth. On the toes.

Don't push it,
don't push it.
Let it come.

It'll come.
This takes
time, baby.

This takes time.
Come on,
move your head.

Move your head.
Move your head
up and down.

Come on, come on.
Swift now, up and
down. In and out.

Inside. Inside.
Inside, baby.

Side to side.
Move your head.

Watch it now.
Watch it now.

Remember, he's got
two hands, right?

Damn, man,
what the hell
are you doing?

This guy will
knock you on
your ass!

Come on, Rock, it's not a game.

You want to lay up
in a hospital for
five weeks this time?

You thought I was
tough? This chump
will kill you.

All right.

Come on, come on.
Get your head on
your shoulders, man.

Think about the fight!
Think about the fight!

Clubber Lang's in, he's
trying to hurt you, Rock.
He's trying to hurt you.

Okay, here it comes.
Jab! He's jabbing!

He's jabbing!
He's trying to
hurt you.

You gotta fight.
You gotta move.

He's up against the ropes!

He can't get out of the corner.

He's hooked you!
He's hooked you!
He's hooked you!

Damn, Rock, come on!

What's the matter with you?

Tomorrow. Let's
do it tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow!

There is no tomorrow!

There is no tomorrow!

Look, there's
just one thing that you
gotta remember.

We gotta get some speed.

You gotta get some
flexibility. You gotta
get some quickness.

You understand?

Quickness, endurance,
that's the end of it.

That's the only thing
we gotta concern
ourselves with, Rock.

All right.
Mickey never
had me do this.

Yeah. Okay,
here we go.

Ready?

Set.
Yeah.

Go!

Come on, come on!
Dig, dig, dig!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

You can't win, Rock.

You ain't been hungry
since you won that belt.

He'll knock you
into tomorrow, Rock.

What's the matter?

It's over.

It's all over.

What's the matter with you?

Can I talk to you?

I wanna ask you
something important

and I want you
to tell me the truth.

What?

Why did you come here?

I just don't want it no more.

If it's over because
you want it to be over,
I'm glad.

I do.

It's just, you've never
quit anything since
I've known you.

I don't know what
you want me to say.

I mean, how?
What happened?

How did everything
that was so good
get so bad?

What's so bad?
Tell me, what?

I wrecked everything
by not thinking for
myself.

I mean, why couldn't
Mickey tell me where
I was really at,

right from the start?

He didn't have to
carry me and lie to me

and make me think I was
better than I really was
when I wasn't.

He never lied.

Those fights weren't right.
They weren't, Adrian.

I never fought anybody
who was in their prime.

There was always some
angle to hold on to
the title

longer than
I should have
had it.

I mean, do you understand
what I'm saying here?

I understand. But you've
gotta understand that
he loved you,

and that was his job,
protecting you.

Well, that protecting
don't help nothing.

It only makes things worse.

You wake up after a few years
thinking you're a winner,
but you're not.

You're really a loser.

And so we wouldn't have
had the title as long.
So what?

At least it
would've been
real, Adrian.

It was real.

Nothing is real
if you don't believe
in who you are.

I don't believe
in myself no more.
Don't you understand?

When a fighter don't
believe, that's it.

He's finished.
It's over. That's it.

That's not it!
That is it!

Why don't you tell me the truth!

What are you putting
me through, Adrian?

You wanna know the truth?

The truth is,
I don't want to
lose what I got.

In the beginning,
I didn't care about
what happened to me.

I'd go in a ring,
I'd get busted up,
I didn't care.

But now there's you,
there's the kid.

I don't wanna lose what I got!

What do we have
that can't be
replaced? What?

A house?
We got cars.
We got money.

We got everything but the truth!

What's the truth, damn it?

I'm afraid, all right?

You wanna hear me say it?

You wanna break me
down? All right,
I'm afraid!

For the first time in
my life, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid, too!

There's nothing wrong
with being afraid.

There is.
For me there is!

Why? You're human,
aren't you?

Look, I don't know
what I am. All I know
is I'm a liar,

and because of that
Mickey ain't here no more.

You didn't push
him into anything!

He was a grown man
and he did what
he had to do.

And you have no right
to feel guilty for what
happened, you don't!

You were a champion.
And you did what you
were expected to do.

You did what I and
everybody else thought
you should do.

And you wanna tell me
that those fights weren't
real? That you were carried?

Well, I don't believe it!

But it doesn't
matter what
I believe.

Because you're the one
that's gotta carry that
fear around inside you.

Afraid that everybody's
gonna take things away.

Afraid you're gonna
be remembered as
a coward,

that you're not a man anymore.

Well, none of it's true,
but it doesn't matter
if I tell you.

It doesn't matter,
because you're the one
that's gotta settle it.

Get rid of it!

Because when all
the smoke has cleared

and everyone's through
chanting your name,

it's just gonna be us!

And you can't live like this.

We can't live like this.

Because it's gonna
bother you for the
rest of your life.

Look what it's doing to you now.

Apollo thinks you
can do it. So do I.

But you. You've gotta
wanna do it for the
right reasons.

Not for the guilt over Mickey,

not for the people,
not for the title,

not for money or me,
but for you.

Just you, just you alone.

And if I lose?

Then you lose,
but at least you lose
with no excuses.

No fear.

And I know you
could live with that.

How'd you get so tough?

I live with a fighter.

I really love you.

I love you.

No, no, no, Rock. No.

Just flick it,
just flick it.
Just flick it.

Come on,
one more time.
Come on!

Good. Five more laps.

Watch it, watch it,
watch it, watch it.

There you go, come on.

Jab.

You got to move it faster.

Faster! Faster!
Go on. Kick it.

Very nice!

Move your head.
Move your head.

Move it.
Move your head.

That's right, under!
Under and over.

Up and down.
Turn around.

That was nice.

Come on, pick them
up now. On your toes.
On your toes.

Come on.
Come on.
Come on.

Come on, now.
Speed, speed,
speed.

Faster, faster, faster.
Yeah! Good.

Ready. Ready.

Rocky the fish!

Yeah!

All right!

Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen. I'm Stu Nahan
along with Bill Baldwin

Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen. I'm Stu Nahan
along with Bill Baldwin

and we welcome you
to Madison Square
Garden,

a most exciting backdrop
for the anxiously awaited
rematch

between the former
champion, Rocky Balboa

and the reigning
heavyweight champion,
Clubber Lang.

We now switch to our
remote cameras inside
the dressing rooms.

Would you care to comment
on how you plan
to fight Balboa?

What's your strategy?

Don't need any.

Balboa's so predictable
and stupid, the man comes
straight ahead.

He's tailor-made for me
and he's gonna get hurt.

Just make sure you...

That's good.
turn them over.
Good?

How does that
look? Okay? Huh?

No, I don't hate Balboa,
but I pity the fool,

and I will destroy
any man who tries
to take what I got.

Remember where you came from.

Remember what it
took to get you here.

And you remember
what he did to you
last time, right?

Since both men
are brawlers, Stu,

with the edge in power
going to Clubber Lang,

I would say that
the odds are very long

against Balboa
regaining his title.

Now it's your turn.

It's your turn, huh?

What's
your prediction
for the fight, then?

Prediction?
Yes, prediction.

Pain.

Lang is a brawler who
likes to hurt a man
to the body.

And, you know, Balboa
may never have
psychologically recovered

from that vicious knockout
that Clubber laid on him.

It's time.

Here.
What?

I want you to wear these.

Come on, Apollo, these are

the colors that you
wore in our first
fight together.

I can't wear your colors.

Just wear it.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Thanks, Apollo.

You just make sure you wash them

before you bring
them back, all right?

Will do, will do.

Hey, thanks, Apollo.

And remember,
after this you
owe me a favor.

What favor?

Bill, I have to agree.

Toe-to-toe, Lang is
utterly devastating and
he's much too strong.

All right, listen.
I just wanna tell you
that I'm proud of you.

It takes a hell
of a man to change,
and you did it.

You're gonna prove
it to them tonight, right?

Right.
Right.

You did good, Apollo.
Thanks, Paulie.

Okay, let's do it, Paulie.

And here comes Rocky,
and here comes Apollo,

the two former champions.

Look at that
United States Marine
Corps Color Guard there

along with the Drum
and Bugle Corps.

Aren't they magnificent?

Tremendous. Take
a look at Rocky.

Look at the tenseness
in his face, the tautness
of that body.

Boy does he look
serious right now!

Oh, that he certainly does.

And you know, Stu,
the word is that

this is Rocky's last fight,
win, lose or draw.

And there he is,
the Italian Stallion,

Rocky Balboa,
climbing into
the ring.

Boy, he looks
incredibly thin,
doesn't he?

I'd say he's gotta be
about 20 pounds lighter.

Rocky Balboa,
the iron man from
Philadelphia!

And this crowd is
certainly with him
tonight. Listen.

Balboa doesn't really
have any boxing skill.

I've never seen
a fighter, though,

with as much raw determination.

Hold it, Stu.

And here comes
the champion now,
Clubber Lang.

Listen to this crowd.

Take a look at those eyes.

I've never seen a guy
with such sullen eyes.
He is tough.

Clubber, go back
where you came from!

He even belted
a spectator on the way in.
Did you see that?

Look at that man.

Boy, awesome.

Awesome! Man,
he's tough.
Look at that.

Clubber Lang,
the heavyweight
champion of the world.

Keep it loose, keep it loose.

Hey, fool, you ready
for another beating?

You should've never came back.

Don't look at him.
Let's just be cool.

Hey, boy.

Hey, boy.

After I crucify him,
you're next.

Just stay out of my face, chump.

Don't turn your
back on me, sucker!

We got a brawl before the bell!

Apollo and Clubber go at it.

This ring is ready to explode.

The fight about
to officially begin

but these guys wanna start now.

Come on!
Let me go!
Let me go!

That's right, I'm gonna get you!

I'm gonna get you!
Let him go!

Come on!

Let him go!
I want him!
I want him!

I thought you
said be cool.
That was cool.

I'm the champ!
I'm the champ!

I'll beat you
like I did last time!

You won't have to
look to find me.
I'm here.

Ladies,
gentlemen and boxing
fans around the world,

welcome to Madison Square Garden

and tonight's heavyweight
championship of the world.

Oh, this crowd is ready tonight.

Out of the red
corner, the challenger,
weighing 191 pounds

from the fighting
city of Philadelphia,

the former heavyweight
champion of the world,

the Italian Stallion,
Rocky Balboa!

I'll tell you
something. He has
so slimmed down.

He looks like a middleweight.

Out of the blue corner,
weighing 237 pounds,

the hard-punching
battler from Chicago,

the reigning heavyweight
champion of the world,

Clubber Lang!

Referee Lou Filippo.

Okay, boys, let's go.

We went over
the rules yesterday.

I'm just going to
repeat a few of them.

Let's watch the low blows
and the rabbit punches.

In case of a knockdown,
you go to the corner
I tell you to

and you stay there
until I tell you to
come out.

Is that understood?
Any questions?

Okay. Let's go back
to your corner now.
Let's go.

I'm gonna bust you up.

Go for it.

Well, here we go.
The war is on.

We're just waiting for the bell.

Take my belt off.
I'm gonna get
that chump.

Don't let this
bum let you
fight his fight.

You're the best!
You're the best!

Here you go, champ.

Rhythm and power,
rhythm and power.

Keep that jab up.
Thanks.

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky!

Are we ready for round one now?

Should be a great fight.

And here we go.

And he goes right
out of his corner
after Clubber Lang!

He's throwing
rights and lefts
into Clubber's face.

What a start of a fight here!

Another jab.
Another jab.

And another!
This is not the Rocky
we expected!

He looks fantastic.

He's fighting more
like Apollo Creed.

Another right!

A right! Look at
that, right and
left to the head!

Clubber Lang
doesn't know what's
happening right now.

He's being stung by this style.

Look at the shots he's taking.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but he can't corner
the fleet-footed
challenger.

It's absolutely unbelievable!

Come on, is that
the hardest you can hit?

Bring it to me!
Come on! Hit me!

That right hand is
just like a trip hammer.

Rock, tie him up!
Bring it to me.
Come on.

Break it up.
Get back. Get back.

Come on. Get back.

Tough first round.
Tough first round.

It is Rocky with a couple
of rights and lefts, right
to the head of Lang.

Get off! Get off!

Now it's Lang coming back!

This crowd is
going absolutely wild!

There's a good
left-right combination
by Rocky.

And a good left hand.

Go!

This is Rocky Balboa's night.

Getting him back to his corner.

We've got
pandemonium in the ring
at the end of round one.

They're holding Lang back.

Lang wants more.

He can't realize
that the round is over.

He's trying to
get back to Rocky.

All right, all right,
you look great.

Just don't get crazy
and we're home.

I'll kill you, man!
The man's strong.

Tell me when's the next
round. I'm gonna kill him!
I'm gonna kill him!

I'm gonna kill him!

Now, he's gonna
come hard, right?
Yeah.

You keep crowding
him. Don't give him
a chance to set.

Counter and move.
Counter and move.
Counter and move.

And he had Lang at his mercy.

I don't think Lang
knew what hit him there
in this whole first round.

Here we go now.
The bell for round two.

Now it's Lang coming
out for Rocky at the
starting of round two.

Here he comes back,
but Rocky is still landing
those rights and lefts.

Right now in the
center of the ring,
a right to the head.

Another right to the head.
He's really setting him up.

A right!
Right! Right!

Five unanswered shots!

Kill him! Kill him!

Get out of there!

Get back there!

All right! All right!

- Get him off of him!
- Let's go now!

Come on, break it up!
Break it up!

What are you doing?

Come on!
Come on, Balboa!

Come on. I'm gonna
give it to you!

Get those feet moving!
Get your hands up!
Come on, Rock!

That right
hand hurt Rocky again.

What a fight!

He's got him
cornered. Balboa's
a little in trouble now.

Hold him, damn it!
Hold him!

Come on, Rocky, come on!

This is Clubber's round so far.

Lang's taken momentum here.

He's railing away at Balboa.

And Balboa is down!

You think you're
bad? Get up.
Get up, damn it!

Come on! Come on!
Five.

Can he get up?
Can he get up?

He's in trouble, but he's up.

Six. Seven.

Here comes Clubber
again. Lang with
the left hand.

Lang with another
left and now a right.

A right! Another
right! A right!
Another right!

And down goes Balboa again.

Stop the fight.

You better stay down.

I got some moves if you get up.

I got a lot of moves.
I got a lot of moves.
Come on.

Here we go again.
Clubber coming into him.

Come on, come on, fool.

You ain't so bad.
You ain't so bad.

You ain't so bad.
Come on.

You ain't so bad.
You ain't nothing.

You must be crazy or something!

I'm crazy?
Yeah, I may be...
You're just a stupid fool!

But I ain't breathing heavy.

He's a fool.
He's stupid.

How could he come back
from a beating like that?

What the hell are you
doing? What the hell
are you doing?

Look, it's strategy,
that's all. I know
what I'm doing.

No, you don't know
what you're doing!

He's gotta come to you.
You're the champ.

He's nothing.
He's mine.

You stand toe-to-toe
with this bum and
he'll kill you!

It doesn't take a man
to stand there and get
their head beat off!

Don't...
He's getting tired.
He's getting tired.

Don't go wasting
your punches.
You're the champ.

Don't try to take
him out with one
punch!

Use your head.

Now, you wear him
down. He's all ours.

I know what I'm doing,
I swear. I know what
I'm doing.

Don't tell me what you think!

Go out there and do it, Rock.

Eye of the tiger.
You understand?

Yeah.

Go out there and
knock his head off.

He's just a man, Rock.
He's just a man.

Be more man than him!
Go get him.

Eye of the tiger!
Eye of the tiger!

Up and down.
Side to side.

All right,
this is the beginning
of round three.

Tough rounds to call right now.

This is a little
slower in the start.

It's my round.
It's my round.

I'm gonna take you this time.

I'm gonna take you.
You're mine.
You're mine.

Come on. Come on.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.

And Rocky throws him
three rights to the head
and a left. He is back.

He's your heavyweight.

Rock, get out
of there! Get out!

A sharp left-hand
right to the head.

Get out of there!

Come on.

Stick him! Stick him!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Again, again!

He's getting killed.
Oh, no, no, no.

He's not getting killed,
he's getting mad!

Come on, whole
world's watching.
Knock me out.

Come on, knock me out.

Come on, harder.
Hit me hard. Hit
me harder. Come on!

No!

Get out of there!

Rocky!

Come on, Rock.
Hands up, Rock.

Yeah.

My mother hits harder
than that. Come on.

A little harder.
A little harder,
champ.

In the face. Come on.

Again, come on, champ.

Again,
come on, champ.
You ain't so bad!

You ain't nothing!
You ain't nothing!

Rocky! Rocky!

I might believe
the strategy now.

He's making
Clubber Lang miss now.
You see how he drew him in?

Now Rocky's
throwing the punches!

Look at that!
He's lifting him
right off the canvas

with those powerful
punches to the ribs.

He's coming.
He's completely
psyched-out this guy.

Lang has got to be
confused by all of this.

Look at the condition
Balboa is in right now.
Look at the condition.

Somehow he's roared back.

And Lang doesn't know
how to defend himself.

Harder punches!
Now!

What a comeback by Balboa!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on!

Yeah!

The place has gone bananas!

It's a tremendous comeback!

Get up!

Five. Six. Seven.

Seven.

Eight. Nine.
Nine.

Ten. You're out!

The new heavyweight
champion again!

He's down on
the floor in
ecstasy!

Bowing, praying there,
beating the floor!

And there he is,
the new heavyweight
champion of the world,

Rocky Balboa!

Rocky is exhausted!

We did it!

Ladies and gentlemen,
the winner by knockout...

Are you all right?

Never better.
Never better.

Once again
the heavyweight
champion of the world,

the Italian Stallion,
Rocky Balboa!

Come on, come on!
We made a deal.

Come on, come on!
We made a deal.

I know,
but this is
extremely crazy.

Yeah, it's mentally
irregular, right?

Yeah.

But it makes all
the sense in the world.

You owe me a favor.

I know, but when did
you think of this?

About three years ago.

This is very crazy, Apollo.

Look, Stallion.

Now look, when you
won that last fight,
you won by one second.

You beat me by one
second. One second.

That's very
hard for a man of my
intelligence to handle.

Is it? But didn't you
say after I beat you, you
learned how to live with it?

I lied.
Oh, you lied.

So now you just gotta
prove it to yourself?

Just for myself.

No TV,
no newspapers,
just you and me.

Nothing.
Just you and me.

Age before beauty.

Anything you say, Stallion.

I'll do all the work, okay.

I'll tell you, Apollo,
you better go slow

because you ain't as young
as springtime anymore.

I'm still young enough
to whip your butt, Stallion.

Oh, yeah?
Well, how you
gonna do that?

You taught me
everything you know.

Almost everything.

You gotta
remember now,
you fight great,

but I'm a great fighter.
You ready?

Absolutely.

All right.

You know,
Stallion, it's too bad
we gotta get old, huh?

Just keep punching, Apollo.

Wanna ring the bell?

All right.

Ding, ding.

Come on, Stallion.

Come on. Come on.

Boy, you really move
good for an older guy.

You're looking good, Stallion.

I taught you well.

I think you taught me too good.

Looking fly.
Look out now.

No, no.
You don't want any of this.

Come on. Come on.

Maybe I'm in here
with the wrong guy.

Come on,
watch yourself.
Ready?

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge
of our rival

And the last known survivor
