DrSi presents
2
00:00:41,959 --> 00:00:44,962
Hey!
3
00:00:44,962 --> 00:00:46,964
Who cared about me yesterday?
4
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:49,967
To no one!
5
00:00:49,967 --> 00:00:52,970
Rocky Balboa
6
00:00:58,976 --> 00:01:01,979
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
7
00:01:06,984 --> 00:01:08,986
I'm Chuck Wepner.
8
00:01:08,986 --> 00:01:10,988
You don't know me.
Well, you actually know me,
9
00:01:10,988 --> 00:01:12,990
but you don't know that me.
10
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:16,994
I was a champion a long time ago
Jersey in the heavyweight category.
11
00:01:16,994 --> 00:01:18,996
They called me the Bayonne Bloods.
12
00:01:18,996 --> 00:01:21,999
I didn't like that nickname,
but he kept himself.
13
00:01:21,999 --> 00:01:23,959
Hoboken had Sinatra,
14
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,961
Bayonne had me.
15
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:27,963
Chuck Wepner nails it!
16
00:01:27,963 --> 00:01:30,966
I swear it's possible
the most important day for me.
17
00:01:30,966 --> 00:01:32,968
Like Christmas
and all the saints in one.
18
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:35,971
John, do you know who that is?
19
00:01:35,971 --> 00:01:36,972
Yes, I know Arty.
20
00:01:36,972 --> 00:01:39,975
You know he invented it
wet t-shirt contest?
21
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:41,977
What?
- I'm not kidding.
22
00:01:41,977 --> 00:01:43,979
It wouldn't have happened without him
wet nipples. Full stop.
23
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:45,981
is that you
– I was just trying to sell a drink,
24
00:01:45,981 --> 00:01:47,983
that they don't lock me up.
25
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:49,985
A true genius.
- No, champion.
26
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:51,987
You are a legend.
27
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:54,990
To the legends.
28
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:57,993
I celebrated myself
with almighty shit.
29
00:01:57,993 --> 00:01:59,995
Not everything is true,
but this part is.
30
00:01:59,995 --> 00:02:02,998
In this corner
former New Jersey champion
31
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:06,960
in the heavyweight division that lasted
15 rounds with Muhammad Ali.
32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,963
Pride of Bayonne,
Chuck Wepner!
33
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,968
Thank you.
34
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,972
In this corner,
you know him from a Hollywood movie
35
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:22,976
All for Eldorado.
He makes several appearances on the Tonight Show.
36
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:25,979
Undefeated in 1303 matches!
37
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:27,981
Victor!
38
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:30,984
Don't punch him in the face.
39
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,986
Did you tell him that too?
– Not in the face!
40
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:39,993
Come on!
41
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:43,997
It was the most important thing for me
to make a show.
42
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,999
Even when I was growing up
in Bayonne.
43
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:48,961
With brother Don
we were clowns.
44
00:02:48,961 --> 00:02:51,964
I wasn't much of a fighter,
but it was Bayonne.
45
00:02:51,964 --> 00:02:54,967
One way or another
you will fight.
46
00:02:56,969 --> 00:02:58,971
In 1954
it's Malphy Esposito's to me
47
00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,973
stole a basketball.
48
00:03:01,974 --> 00:03:05,978
I didn't intend to do anything,
but he gave me a good wave.
49
00:03:05,978 --> 00:03:07,980
Maybe I'm not the best fighter
of all time,
50
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:09,982
that day I realized
that I am talented.
51
00:03:10,983 --> 00:03:12,985
I was special.
52
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:15,988
If you stop anyone on the street
and you ask who is Chuck Wepner,
53
00:03:15,988 --> 00:03:19,992
will tell you
that I can take blows.
54
00:03:31,962 --> 00:03:34,965
Chuck:
THE REAL ROCKY STORY
55
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,977
CHUCK WEPNER VS
TO TERRY HINK, SEPTEMBER 1974
56
00:03:46,977 --> 00:03:48,979
For someone who wasn't a fighter,
I did quite well.
57
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,983
I fought until 1974
in heavyweight
58
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:56,987
and hoped to fight for the title
champion against George Foreman.
59
00:03:57,988 --> 00:03:58,989
He stood in my way
only Terry Hinke,
60
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:00,991
Stormy Mormon.
61
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:01,992
Bloody!
- What?
62
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:03,994
Leave it!
Let go!
63
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:05,996
Shit!
Is it ugly?
64
00:04:05,996 --> 00:04:07,998
Al, show me the wound.
65
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:14,963
It looks ugly. - Get over it
corner and it doesn't disturb me while I'm working.
66
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,965
We did
which we had to.
67
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:18,967
Al and I agreed:
68
00:04:18,967 --> 00:04:20,969
always move forward
and do not interrupt the duel.
69
00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:22,971
Have the doctor look at the wound.
70
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:24,973
Sure, take a look.
71
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:28,977
It's fine.
- Thank you, doctor.
72
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:30,979
Ala was called the Butcher,
but he was not the only one to blame.
73
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:34,983
I didn't want to stop either.
And it wasn't his fault that I was bleeding like that.
74
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:36,985
I can't close
nail wounds.
75
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:38,987
It's time to send
kid Mormon to Utah.
76
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,990
Do you agree?
Okay, so let's go.
77
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:43,992
Come on, Chuck.
Wave him.
78
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,995
This!
79
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:54,962
Winner by knockout
after two minutes and 18 seconds
80
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:58,966
in the 11th round and still remains
New Jersey's champion
81
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:00,968
in the heavyweight division!
82
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:03,971
Chuck Wepner!
83
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:10,978
Hi, sweetheart.
–Daddy, did you box again?
84
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:13,981
Actually I am.
85
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,984
Is that why you have such a strange face?
86
00:05:17,985 --> 00:05:20,988
Love, he always had a daddy
strange face.
87
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:23,991
My opponent tempted me
to beautify a little.
88
00:05:24,992 --> 00:05:25,993
Come on, hug me.
89
00:05:26,994 --> 00:05:29,997
Come on, Kimby. It's eight o'clock.
You have to have breakfast. Let's go!
90
00:05:29,997 --> 00:05:31,999
Bye, daddy.
91
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:41,967
Let me look at you.
92
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:44,970
I'm fine.
- Come on, sweetheart.
93
00:05:47,973 --> 00:05:49,975
Let me look at you.
– Ribs.
94
00:05:51,977 --> 00:05:53,979
Chuck, you look terrible.
95
00:05:53,979 --> 00:05:57,983
I will be beautiful in a few days
as always. Give me some of that.
96
00:05:57,983 --> 00:06:01,987
This!
And a little of that!
97
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:04,990
Chuck, no. Kimberley
I have to take him to school.
98
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:06,992
And still
i'm mad at you
99
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:08,994
Stop it already.
- I won't!
100
00:06:08,994 --> 00:06:10,996
Arty's woman was.
I didn't even touch her.
101
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:12,998
I'm not worried about your hands.
102
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:15,959
I wrote you a new song.
– What keeps them.
103
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:17,961
She's good.
104
00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:19,963
I put it on the fridge for you.
105
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:21,965
Let me put it in.
-No!
106
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:23,967
Just the head.
–Chuck, no!
107
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:26,970
Come on!
-Stop it! I have 15 minutes
108
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,972
to take her away
and I go to work.
109
00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:31,975
Christ!
I'm familiar.
110
00:06:37,981 --> 00:06:39,983
My one and only,
111
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:41,985
only you are in my heart
112
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:43,987
from morning to evening.
113
00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:45,989
I only think of you always,
114
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:47,991
and on a happy day,
when we became one.
115
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:50,994
I'm Phil on and on
wrote verses.
116
00:06:50,994 --> 00:06:52,996
I left them everywhere for her.
117
00:07:00,963 --> 00:07:02,965
how are you
Chuck Wepner.
118
00:07:02,965 --> 00:07:04,967
are you ok
119
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:07,970
Another fighter.
Frankie Suppone,
120
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:09,972
He was delivering drinks like me.
He will retire,
121
00:07:09,972 --> 00:07:12,975
and he said he could for his own sake
of good character I take delivery.
122
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:14,977
Hello.
Chuck Wepner.
123
00:07:14,977 --> 00:07:16,979
I would like to ask something.
Do you like dewer's?
124
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:18,981
I thought
why not?
125
00:07:18,981 --> 00:07:22,985
Although I was eighth in the world,
I still needed a job.
126
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:24,987
I was before that
orderlyfor several years
127
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:27,990
and debt collector
for Frank Gigli.
128
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:30,993
But I didn't know
to get money by force.
129
00:07:30,993 --> 00:07:33,996
I was too kind.
They took pity on us.
130
00:07:33,996 --> 00:07:35,998
Who would ever want to
hung out with a bully,
131
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:39,960
if he can hang out with the champion
Heavyweight Jersey?
132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,963
Hey, champion!
Great match last night against Hink.
133
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:44,965
Thanks, Joe.
–You broke his Mormon ass.
134
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,968
Bayonne gives, the world enjoys.
- That's right, brother.
135
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,973
Hello!
– Hello, champion.
136
00:07:52,973 --> 00:07:54,975
Congratulations!
137
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:56,977
how are you
138
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:59,980
how are you pete
- Good.
139
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:01,982
And your face?
–How is my face?
140
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:03,984
I don't know.
What do you think?
141
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:05,986
You are beautiful, wonderful.
– Progress, no?
142
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:07,988
Wonderful!
143
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:10,991
Where's Johnny?
– Where do you think I am?
144
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,994
I had to vent
and my prostate hurts like hell.
145
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:15,996
Chuck,
I don't feel heavy today, okay?
146
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:17,998
I am.
Why should I weigh you?
147
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:20,000
I know I have been for a long time
talked about debts.
148
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,960
I'd like to show you something.
149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,961
Look.
150
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:24,963
Do you see?
151
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:26,965
This is my dick.
152
00:08:26,965 --> 00:08:29,968
A dick?
– Yes, I call her a dick.
153
00:08:29,968 --> 00:08:31,970
Do you see?
You turn and
154
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:33,972
the dick becomes a mouse.
155
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:35,974
Do you like it?
- Beautiful!
156
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:37,976
Who wants her?
157
00:08:37,976 --> 00:08:38,977
There you go.
- Thank you.
158
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:41,980
I have one for everyone.
– How are you, champion?
159
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:43,982
Good, and you?
160
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:46,985
How many wolfschmidt's would you like?
161
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:48,987
How much will you rob me?
for two crates?
162
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:52,991
Johnny,
I have a special discount for you.
163
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:56,995
Wolfschmidt's, yes?
- Yes, two.
164
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:59,998
All bruised,
but still handsome, a champion.
165
00:09:01,959 --> 00:09:04,962
OLD SCHOOL BOXING
166
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:11,969
Hello, champion.
- How are you?
167
00:09:11,969 --> 00:09:12,970
Chuck!
168
00:09:14,972 --> 00:09:16,974
Of course.
169
00:09:21,979 --> 00:09:23,981
Calm down a bit.
- What is it?
170
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:26,984
listen to me
clove bottle.
171
00:09:28,986 --> 00:09:30,988
No.
172
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:32,990
I mean…
173
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:34,992
Changed.
174
00:09:36,994 --> 00:09:38,996
Yes, the same.
I'll see you.
175
00:09:41,999 --> 00:09:43,959
Show the wound.
176
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:47,963
Why this?
– To see if she bleeds.
177
00:09:47,963 --> 00:09:49,965
Christ!
He almost took my head off!
178
00:09:49,965 --> 00:09:52,968
Good thing I know
tend to your wounds.
179
00:09:52,968 --> 00:09:54,970
Stormy Mormon
he almost turned you into a Cyclops.
180
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:56,972
Stop it.
– Klinč's hemophiliac.
181
00:09:56,972 --> 00:09:57,973
Who did you talk to?
182
00:09:59,975 --> 00:10:02,978
Al, I know
to make something up.
183
00:10:02,978 --> 00:10:04,980
Who was he?
184
00:10:05,981 --> 00:10:07,983
Don King.
185
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:10,986
You're bullshitting!
186
00:10:11,987 --> 00:10:13,989
Because of this,
how did you beat Hinka
187
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:18,994
I'm looking at a guy who has a chance
become heavyweight champion.
188
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:21,997
Clove cleaver.
189
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:25,000
When Foreman
defeated the Mahatma in Zaire…
190
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,963
Muhammad. Pronounce it correctly.
– It can also be Marička!
191
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:31,965
When Foreman grinds Ali,
192
00:10:33,967 --> 00:10:35,969
you're in.
193
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,973
And if Ali wins?
–Foreman is a monster.
194
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,975
It is guaranteed.
Christ!
195
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:44,978
Title opportunity.
- That's right, kid.
196
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,980
Hey!
197
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,982
Today is your lucky day.
198
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,984
happy day,
happy man.
199
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,987
Come here.
200
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:55,989
I love you, AI.
201
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:56,990
Thank you.
202
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,994
You will miss everything.
- I'm going already.
203
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:05,999
That evening
was my favorite movie.
204
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:08,961
Anthony Quinn,
Requiem for a boxer.
205
00:11:08,961 --> 00:11:09,962
This movie breaks my heart.
206
00:11:09,962 --> 00:11:12,965
When I watched it,
I saw myself.
207
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:14,967
Who have you worked for so far?
208
00:11:14,967 --> 00:11:19,972
The last 17 years
I mainly fought.
209
00:11:21,974 --> 00:11:24,977
In the ring.
For prizes.
210
00:11:25,978 --> 00:11:28,981
Did you fight for money?
-Now it will be...
211
00:11:30,983 --> 00:11:33,986
I have no particular problems.
212
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:36,989
You consider me big
unkempt slacker.
213
00:11:36,989 --> 00:11:38,991
And I look like a sleeper.
214
00:11:38,991 --> 00:11:42,995
But I almost did
world heavyweight champion.
215
00:11:43,996 --> 00:11:45,998
Why don't you write this down?
216
00:11:46,999 --> 00:11:48,959
Mountain Rivera
he was not a bastard.
217
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:52,963
I almost became one
world heavyweight champion.
218
00:11:54,965 --> 00:11:56,967
You know what the old man was telling me?
219
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:59,970
What? -He said:
"When you're with a woman,
220
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:04,975
show her that she is special".
– How special?
221
00:12:04,975 --> 00:12:05,976
A lot.
222
00:12:05,976 --> 00:12:08,979
Especially such a woman.
223
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:11,982
Freckles.
224
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:14,985
Do you like my freckles?
- Yes.
225
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:19,990
Especially this part here.
226
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:32,961
Why are they fighting in Africa?
227
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:35,964
What do I know?
Black fighter, advertisement.
228
00:12:35,964 --> 00:12:38,967
Believe me.
Don King knows what he's doing.
229
00:12:39,968 --> 00:12:43,972
Champion, what are you doing?
Come with me. – Jimmy, thank you.
230
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,974
Do you know Phyl?
- Hello.
231
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:47,976
How are you, champion?
– I guess you're next on the list.
232
00:12:47,976 --> 00:12:48,977
Really?
233
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:51,980
Will you fight Foreman?
- That's what they say.
234
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:53,982
Stand back, the champion is coming!
- How are you?
235
00:12:54,983 --> 00:12:56,985
Hey Bloody!
236
00:12:57,986 --> 00:12:59,988
Chuck, no way.
Everything is fine.
237
00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:01,990
Hey!
238
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:04,993
Hello.
239
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:08,997
How did you tell me?
- Bloody. That's what they call you.
240
00:13:08,997 --> 00:13:10,999
Bayonne bleeds.
241
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:13,961
how are you
- Good. And you?
242
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:16,964
Good.
Do you enjoy duels?
243
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:17,965
What, kid?
244
00:13:18,966 --> 00:13:19,967
Chuck!
245
00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:24,972
Take it easy, mate. When I yawn
Foreman, I'm on my way.
246
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:26,974
Champion, who will win?
247
00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:29,977
what are you doing
- Nothing, I'm teasing him.
248
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:33,981
What are you doing?
- Don't worry, everything is fine.
249
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:35,983
Foreman goes all over the ring.
250
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:37,985
He threw a series of weaker blows,
251
00:13:37,985 --> 00:13:42,990
that don't hurt too much
To Muhammad Ali.
252
00:13:45,993 --> 00:13:47,995
Looks good.
-Who?
253
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:49,997
Or.
254
00:13:50,998 --> 00:13:53,000
don't worry
Foreman will grind it.
255
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:02,968
If you asked me
or anyone on the street,
256
00:14:02,968 --> 00:14:04,970
will Ali win
of George Foreman in Zaire,
257
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:07,973
I'd say no way.
258
00:14:08,974 --> 00:14:10,976
And he succeeded.
259
00:14:11,977 --> 00:14:14,980
And what now?
Will they send me into the ring with Ali?
260
00:14:15,981 --> 00:14:17,983
Honey, let's go home.
Come on.
261
00:14:21,987 --> 00:14:23,989
No.
262
00:14:23,989 --> 00:14:25,991
To the cafeteria
I'm going for coffee.
263
00:14:26,992 --> 00:14:28,994
Would you like company?
264
00:14:29,995 --> 00:14:32,998
I'd like to take a walk.
265
00:14:32,998 --> 00:14:35,000
Go home, I'll be fine.
266
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,962
Are you sure?
267
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:40,964
Yes, just…
268
00:14:41,965 --> 00:14:42,966
I want to walk, nothing else.
269
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:46,970
Right.
270
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:49,973
As if watching
how my future is falling apart.
271
00:14:49,973 --> 00:14:53,977
Phyl wanted to help me,
and I wanted something else.
272
00:14:54,978 --> 00:14:56,980
Something you shouldn't.
273
00:15:01,985 --> 00:15:03,987
After the match against Foreman
274
00:15:03,987 --> 00:15:06,990
I felt bad
so I bought myself something nice.
275
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,992
Nice.
It shines.
276
00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:11,995
Something good will happen
if i rub it?
277
00:15:14,998 --> 00:15:16,959
Phil.
- Black coffee. Thank you.
278
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,962
Excuse me.
-No need to apologize.
279
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:21,964
This is my…
280
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:23,966
His wife.
Your wife.
281
00:15:23,966 --> 00:15:25,968
Shit!
- No, it's fine.
282
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:28,971
Believe me, it's not your fault.
283
00:15:28,971 --> 00:15:31,974
That's just how it is.
It keeps happening.
284
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:35,978
Just see such a fluff,
she doesn't even have to be beautiful and you're not
285
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:39,982
and the frill says:
"I have freckles on my ass!"
286
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:42,985
And boom!
Chuck falls in love.
287
00:15:43,986 --> 00:15:46,989
Fall in love with freckles on the ass.
288
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:47,990
I don't have freckles on my ass.
289
00:15:48,991 --> 00:15:50,993
Phyl, please.
-Shut up, we're talking.
290
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:52,995
Of course you don't have them.
It's not about that.
291
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:55,998
You have nothing special,
which doesn't matter
292
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:58,959
because you are only one
out of many.
293
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:01,962
One of the many
who looks at him like he's special.
294
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:05,966
You look at him like this and...
– Oops!
295
00:16:05,966 --> 00:16:07,968
No, it's fine.
296
00:16:07,968 --> 00:16:09,970
Stay.
You need to hear this.
297
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:12,973
You think you're special
because of the freckles, right?
298
00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:16,977
You might marry him
and you bear him a child
299
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,979
and you go through hell with him.
300
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:21,982
Year after year.
301
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:25,986
Because you think
that it will make him stay with you.
302
00:16:26,987 --> 00:16:29,990
So that it will be yours.
Only yours.
303
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:32,993
And only yours forever.
304
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:36,997
But you're wrong.
305
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:42,961
You're totally wrong.
306
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:57,976
I'm going to take Kimberly to her mom.
You do what you want.
307
00:16:59,978 --> 00:17:01,980
Phil...
–Fuck you, Chuck!
308
00:17:14,993 --> 00:17:16,995
Is this a typing class?
309
00:17:17,996 --> 00:17:20,999
Weather forecast.
Temperatures are rising.
310
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:22,960
Fat, I need money.
311
00:17:24,962 --> 00:17:26,964
Forget it, we're bots.
312
00:17:35,973 --> 00:17:37,975
Hello?
313
00:17:37,975 --> 00:17:39,977
It's me, AI.
- Hello.
314
00:17:39,977 --> 00:17:41,979
what are you doing
Are you sitting?
315
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:44,982
I'm watching Kojak.
316
00:17:46,984 --> 00:17:48,986
They want white people.
- What?
317
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:52,990
What are you talking about?
–Don King wants a duel of the races.
318
00:17:52,990 --> 00:17:57,995
He wants Ali to fight a white man
and you are in the top ten.
319
00:17:57,995 --> 00:17:59,997
Baby, can you hear me?
can you hear me
320
00:18:00,998 --> 00:18:03,000
You're a fucking white man!
321
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,964
Sometimes you can't believe
how lucky you are.
322
00:18:09,965 --> 00:18:11,967
Don King made up his mind
to be creative.
323
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:13,969
They only needed a white man.
324
00:18:14,970 --> 00:18:17,973
By elimination
they came to me.
325
00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:19,975
As for me,
could also be purple.
326
00:18:19,975 --> 00:18:21,977
They wanted me
Chuck Wepner.
327
00:18:22,978 --> 00:18:25,981
The bum from Bayonne had a chance
to win the title of world champion.
328
00:18:39,995 --> 00:18:41,997
Hello?
–Phyl, it's me.
329
00:18:41,997 --> 00:18:45,959
Have you heard the news?
- I am, on the radio.
330
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,962
Great, isn't it?
- Yeah, great, Chuck.
331
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:51,965
But now your daughter is at grandma's,
because mom caught dad
332
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:54,968
with hands in panties,
which are not mother's.
333
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:56,970
Yes.
334
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,972
I know.
335
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:00,974
I'm sorry.
336
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:02,976
That means a lot to me.
337
00:19:03,977 --> 00:19:06,980
An important moment. -Yes,
a lucky day for a lucky husband.
338
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:10,984
Yes.
I wanted to share this with you.
339
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:15,989
Let's be a family.
Can we be a family again, Phyl?
340
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:21,995
Phyl, can you hear me?
– Yes, I hear you.
341
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:24,998
I'll be training in the Catskills.
342
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:27,960
I haven't done that yet.
That's right!
343
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,963
It's different.
Everything will be different now, my love.
344
00:19:33,966 --> 00:19:37,970
Congratulations, Chuck.
I'm really happy for you.
345
00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:40,973
Phil? Phil?
346
00:19:40,973 --> 00:19:44,977
And everything was really different.
I will fight Muhammad Ali.
347
00:19:44,977 --> 00:19:46,979
The conference was
in New York.
348
00:19:46,979 --> 00:19:49,982
I had to get ready,
if I wanted to say something next to Ali.
349
00:19:51,984 --> 00:19:54,987
One of the most dangerous
opponents in the ring.
350
00:19:54,987 --> 00:19:56,989
Neck like an ox
and granite jaw.
351
00:19:56,989 --> 00:19:59,992
I think she's waiting for Ali
interesting evening.
352
00:19:59,992 --> 00:20:02,995
He doesn't take it lightly.
How serious he is.
353
00:20:04,997 --> 00:20:08,000
Muhammad is the master
poetry, so...
354
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,961
I wrote the song.
Here's how it goes.
355
00:20:11,962 --> 00:20:13,964
"What is written?
356
00:20:13,964 --> 00:20:15,966
What is drawn in the future?
357
00:20:15,966 --> 00:20:19,970
some say
that the best is the one who wears the crown
358
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:23,974
and yes for this match
the newcomer begs.
359
00:20:24,975 --> 00:20:27,978
I keep proving to them
that they are not right
360
00:20:27,978 --> 00:20:29,980
and I'm already victorious
drove many away.
361
00:20:30,981 --> 00:20:32,983
So don't write me off yet…
362
00:20:32,983 --> 00:20:34,985
Wait a minute, Chuck.
363
00:20:36,987 --> 00:20:39,990
You had a feeling it would
did this happen? I'm not him.
364
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:42,993
What say you, champion?
–Don King said,
365
00:20:42,993 --> 00:20:45,996
that he will give female stakes
into Chuck's corner.
366
00:20:46,997 --> 00:20:50,959
Because he will bleed so much,
that he will need them urgently.
367
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,963
I will beat him, but I won't
I didn't hit even once.
368
00:20:54,963 --> 00:20:56,965
I just am.
-Enough.
369
00:20:56,965 --> 00:20:59,968
Because I don't want
to speak to wounds.
370
00:21:02,971 --> 00:21:04,973
are you done
-For now.
371
00:21:31,959 --> 00:21:34,962
We trained at the Grand Hotel
in the north of the country.
372
00:21:34,962 --> 00:21:38,966
Top city. In life
I haven't seen anything like that.
373
00:21:38,966 --> 00:21:40,968
Look, well!
What are you saying?
374
00:21:40,968 --> 00:21:44,972
I think you have a pool in your room.
-I think they have two.
375
00:21:44,972 --> 00:21:47,975
I had my own room,
dining room, no menu.
376
00:21:47,975 --> 00:21:49,977
I ordered
what I wanted.
377
00:21:49,977 --> 00:21:51,979
Pure professionalism.
378
00:21:51,979 --> 00:21:53,981
I was finally training like a pro.
379
00:21:53,981 --> 00:21:56,984
Great progress
for a club fighter from Bayonne.
380
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:00,988
Hey, Chuck.
-Chuck.
381
00:22:01,989 --> 00:22:03,991
Yes, that's what we're talking about.
382
00:22:04,992 --> 00:22:07,995
I am, Chuck.
383
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:10,998
How are you guys?
Nice to see you.
384
00:22:11,999 --> 00:22:13,000
Where's the guy
from the New Jersey Sun?
385
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,960
Bring it forward.
386
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,963
Some call this match a joke.
What do you think about it?
387
00:22:18,964 --> 00:22:20,966
They say it's a duel
between the artist and the painter.
388
00:22:20,966 --> 00:22:23,969
Nice to have me
for the artist.
389
00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:26,972
I'm in the shape of life.
We'll see.
390
00:22:26,972 --> 00:22:30,976
What do you say to those who say that the duel
not worth the ticket price? – That's what they say?
391
00:22:30,976 --> 00:22:32,978
don't worry
it will be worth it.
392
00:22:32,978 --> 00:22:35,981
How are you going to fight, Chuck?
– With Bayonne style.
393
00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:39,985
You will bleed in his mouth,
until he drowns?
394
00:22:40,986 --> 00:22:42,988
You could invent a new forum.
395
00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:45,991
All Chuck has to worry about is
how much money will he take from him.
396
00:22:46,992 --> 00:22:48,994
How do you define Bayonne style?
- Dirty.
397
00:22:49,995 --> 00:22:51,997
Blows to the nape of the neck, kidneys.
398
00:22:52,998 --> 00:22:55,000
Will he be peeing blood all week.
399
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,963
And "sweet science"?
–She's not so cute with a corset on her balls.
400
00:22:59,963 --> 00:23:04,968
Thanks guys. That will be all for today.
– We have even more questions.
401
00:23:05,969 --> 00:23:08,972
Wepner gives
free transfusions.
402
00:23:08,972 --> 00:23:10,974
Bayonne blood depot.
403
00:23:10,974 --> 00:23:13,977
Dear God! Klinčov journalists.
Ordinary animals.
404
00:23:13,977 --> 00:23:16,980
A STRANGE BOXING MATCH
-You can beat him.
405
00:23:30,994 --> 00:23:32,996
John Stahl
was my best friend.
406
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:35,999
We have known each other since childhood.
407
00:23:35,999 --> 00:23:37,960
You need such a man
in life,
408
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,962
who will always answer.
409
00:23:40,963 --> 00:23:43,966
Hi John.
Am I not calling too late?
410
00:23:43,966 --> 00:23:45,968
Hello.
411
00:23:46,969 --> 00:23:49,972
No, just…
412
00:23:49,972 --> 00:23:51,974
I was preparing
your orders for tomorrow.
413
00:23:52,975 --> 00:23:55,978
Thanks for filling in for me.
I am your debtor.
414
00:23:55,978 --> 00:23:59,982
No problem.
Is everything okay?
415
00:23:59,982 --> 00:24:01,984
Yes, just…
416
00:24:01,984 --> 00:24:04,987
I remembered Vic at Sabatino's
Lounge in Hoboken.
417
00:24:04,987 --> 00:24:06,989
He needs more cocktail napkins.
418
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,992
Like wiping his ass with them.
419
00:24:09,992 --> 00:24:12,995
Don't worry, Chuck.
420
00:24:14,997 --> 00:24:18,959
I'm glad you called me.
- Yes.
421
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,962
Yes.
422
00:24:24,965 --> 00:24:28,969
Have you seen Phyl?
–In the city park, but...
423
00:24:30,971 --> 00:24:32,973
how is it
424
00:24:32,973 --> 00:24:34,975
I don't know.
425
00:24:35,976 --> 00:24:38,979
I would like him to come here.
426
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:42,983
To the duel.
–Shall I call her?
427
00:24:42,983 --> 00:24:46,987
Should I visit her?
- You don't have to. I thought…
428
00:24:48,989 --> 00:24:51,992
Isn't it superfluous for you?
–No, I will make out with her.
429
00:24:54,995 --> 00:24:56,997
It's here!
430
00:24:57,998 --> 00:25:01,960
Beauty.
– Hi, John. What about you here?
431
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,964
I was hoping you would give it to me
stamp discount.
432
00:25:05,964 --> 00:25:07,966
For postcards.
433
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:09,968
I'll send them from Cleveland.
434
00:25:11,970 --> 00:25:13,972
I have a job.
As you can see.
435
00:25:13,972 --> 00:25:15,974
Faster, mate!
-Calm down, cop.
436
00:25:18,977 --> 00:25:19,978
What are you saying?
437
00:25:20,979 --> 00:25:23,982
What should I say?
Of course? Why not?
438
00:25:23,982 --> 00:25:26,985
Nothing like that?
How is it?
439
00:25:26,985 --> 00:25:28,987
You know how I felt?
440
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:31,990
And my child?
441
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:33,992
Have you thought about what you're asking me for?
442
00:25:33,992 --> 00:25:36,995
He needs you.
-No.
443
00:25:39,998 --> 00:25:41,959
CLEVELAND, March 23, 1975
–Can you defeat Muhammad?
444
00:25:41,959 --> 00:25:44,962
Can you beat him?
– Of course, Mike.
445
00:25:44,962 --> 00:25:47,965
I've been waiting for this for 11 years.
446
00:25:47,965 --> 00:25:49,967
I'm hungry.
447
00:25:50,968 --> 00:25:52,970
Have you heard?
The guy said he was hungry.
448
00:25:52,970 --> 00:25:55,973
Give it to him
what for under the teeth.
449
00:25:55,973 --> 00:25:58,976
Maybe a beef bun
and special sauce?
450
00:26:01,979 --> 00:26:04,982
I have never been afraid of anyone.
451
00:26:04,982 --> 00:26:07,985
But when I first saw
your face in this box …
452
00:26:08,986 --> 00:26:10,988
It was bad.
453
00:26:27,963 --> 00:26:28,964
How are you, baby?
454
00:26:30,966 --> 00:26:32,968
What is this?
- For you.
455
00:26:32,968 --> 00:26:34,970
Someone sent a coconut.
456
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:36,972
Gorilla eggs.
457
00:26:36,972 --> 00:26:39,975
An inside joke
between me and my brother.
458
00:26:39,975 --> 00:26:41,977
Do you have a brother?
- Yes.
459
00:26:42,978 --> 00:26:45,981
I didn't know you had one.
-We don't hear each other often.
460
00:26:46,982 --> 00:26:48,984
Then why did he send you this?
- I don't know.
461
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:54,990
Sweetheart.
462
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:56,992
What's going on?
463
00:26:56,992 --> 00:26:58,994
I have to go all the way, AI.
464
00:26:59,995 --> 00:27:02,998
I will not bear the shame
if I can't last 15 rounds.
465
00:27:03,999 --> 00:27:05,959
40:1.
Do you know that?
466
00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:07,961
They give me such opportunities.
40:1.
467
00:27:08,962 --> 00:27:10,964
Don't be such a bitch, okay?
468
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:14,968
Trust me, okay?
469
00:27:14,968 --> 00:27:16,970
Will he look
like the black flag of the century,
470
00:27:16,970 --> 00:27:19,973
when you knock him out.
471
00:27:20,974 --> 00:27:22,976
Did you hear me?
472
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:29,983
Special delivery!
–John, what about you?
473
00:27:29,983 --> 00:27:31,985
I should deliver the drink.
- Don't worry.
474
00:27:31,985 --> 00:27:35,989
There is no one in Bayonne,
who would drink. They're all in Cleveland.
475
00:27:35,989 --> 00:27:37,991
Hi, AI.
- Phil.
476
00:27:38,992 --> 00:27:41,995
Friend or foe?
- A friend.
477
00:27:41,995 --> 00:27:43,997
It makes me happy.
478
00:27:43,997 --> 00:27:48,961
You know he has a match tomorrow?
- Yes, I know. - Good.
479
00:27:51,964 --> 00:27:53,966
Thank you.
480
00:28:00,973 --> 00:28:03,976
Did you watch...
481
00:28:04,977 --> 00:28:06,979
You looked at me
at Mike Douglas?
482
00:28:06,979 --> 00:28:08,981
I didn't.
483
00:28:32,963 --> 00:28:34,965
Let me take a look at you.
484
00:28:48,979 --> 00:28:52,983
New and not so well known
Cleveland Coliseum,
485
00:28:52,983 --> 00:28:54,985
where will it be tonight
Muhammad Ali fought.
486
00:28:55,986 --> 00:28:58,989
On the day of the match for the champion
did Ali rest,
487
00:28:59,990 --> 00:29:03,994
ate and visit the location of the future
of the trade center in the east.
488
00:29:25,974 --> 00:29:27,976
Come on!
489
00:29:30,979 --> 00:29:31,980
Do you like it?
490
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,982
Yes, I like it.
491
00:29:33,982 --> 00:29:35,984
Even more so when you take it off.
- I have no doubt.
492
00:29:40,989 --> 00:29:43,992
what are you doing
– I'd like to take a better look at you.
493
00:29:44,993 --> 00:29:46,995
Do you know how beautiful you are?
- Thank you.
494
00:29:50,999 --> 00:29:52,960
Enough, get out.
I have to change my clothes.
495
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,962
I don't want to go out.
The woman looks at me sideways.
496
00:29:54,962 --> 00:29:56,964
Right.
497
00:30:03,971 --> 00:30:07,975
Ali says he will have no problem with me
knocked out in the third round.
498
00:30:07,975 --> 00:30:09,977
Like I don't belong here.
499
00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:14,982
I have to show them, Phyl.
500
00:30:15,983 --> 00:30:17,985
I have to show them
to belong there.
501
00:30:17,985 --> 00:30:19,987
Who do you have to show this to?
502
00:30:19,987 --> 00:30:21,989
To whom?
- You know.
503
00:30:23,991 --> 00:30:25,993
To them.
504
00:30:27,995 --> 00:30:28,996
Right, to them.
505
00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:33,959
Hey.
506
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,962
Stop it.
507
00:30:37,963 --> 00:30:39,965
What is it?
508
00:30:39,965 --> 00:30:41,967
I don't know, I just…
509
00:30:42,968 --> 00:30:44,970
I don't want to watch you suffer.
510
00:30:45,971 --> 00:30:48,974
I don't like watching it.
511
00:30:48,974 --> 00:30:50,976
I don't care about suffering.
512
00:30:51,977 --> 00:30:53,979
I just have to show them
to belong there.
513
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:56,982
I'll go to anything
or nothing.
514
00:30:57,983 --> 00:30:58,984
Yes.
515
00:30:59,985 --> 00:31:02,988
Why did you come?
and gave so much money
516
00:31:03,989 --> 00:31:05,991
to watch the match
between Ali and Wepner?
517
00:31:07,993 --> 00:31:11,997
Is he a good fighter.
The best.
518
00:31:11,997 --> 00:31:16,960
Many think there will be a duel
soon over, but it will be good.
519
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,962
I have mixed feelings.
520
00:31:18,962 --> 00:31:21,965
But I would like that Muhammad
win in five rounds.
521
00:31:22,966 --> 00:31:24,968
I like watching Muhammad Ali.
522
00:31:24,968 --> 00:31:26,970
You know, he has everything.
523
00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:28,972
The best entertainer in the world.
524
00:31:56,959 --> 00:31:59,962
The fact is that no one thought
that he might win.
525
00:32:00,963 --> 00:32:01,964
I didn't care.
526
00:32:01,964 --> 00:32:05,968
If I could turn and see
Muhammad Ali in front of him,
527
00:32:05,968 --> 00:32:08,971
in front of 15 million viewers...
528
00:32:08,971 --> 00:32:10,973
That was the best.
529
00:32:10,973 --> 00:32:12,975
I won't forget
of this feeling.
530
00:32:13,976 --> 00:32:16,979
I attack and tempt
to be aggressive.
531
00:32:16,979 --> 00:32:19,982
Ali dances around me and babbles.
He keeps babbling.
532
00:32:19,982 --> 00:32:22,985
He says: "Come on white boy, show what you know"
and other selected words,
533
00:32:22,985 --> 00:32:24,987
which I would rather not mention.
534
00:32:25,988 --> 00:32:28,991
We must not forget,
that Ali doesn't dance like that
535
00:32:28,991 --> 00:32:30,993
seven, eight or nine rounds.
He arranges the show.
536
00:32:30,993 --> 00:32:33,996
Wepner seems slow
and robat, because he is like that.
537
00:32:33,996 --> 00:32:36,999
But it packs a punch.
538
00:32:36,999 --> 00:32:39,960
Finally I press him against the ropes
and he begins his forums.
539
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,962
Chuck, Bayonne!
540
00:32:41,962 --> 00:32:43,964
I don't have much chance,
so I have to take advantage of them.
541
00:32:43,964 --> 00:32:45,966
A few kicks to the kidneys,
behind the head.
542
00:32:46,967 --> 00:32:48,969
You know, dirty fighting.
543
00:32:51,972 --> 00:32:54,975
As far as I know Muhammad Ali,
he likes no kicks.
544
00:32:54,975 --> 00:32:56,977
He waved at my head.
545
00:32:56,977 --> 00:32:58,979
The question is,
or they will punish him for it.
546
00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:03,984
In this round, of course
there was no clear winner.
547
00:33:10,991 --> 00:33:14,995
Does it move more fluidly,
he is more skilled.
548
00:33:14,995 --> 00:33:16,997
Attacks with short directs.
549
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:17,998
Chuck, hands up!
550
00:33:18,999 --> 00:33:22,961
Quick combination,
3 to 4 more blows to Wepner's face.
551
00:33:22,961 --> 00:33:25,964
But to Wepner this
means nothing and attacks further.
552
00:33:25,964 --> 00:33:26,965
This guy doesn't back down.
553
00:33:26,965 --> 00:33:28,967
But what would it achieve?
554
00:33:28,967 --> 00:33:31,970
The situation was as follows:
I couldn't shake him,
555
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:32,971
that's why I wanted it
to tire with one's face.
556
00:33:33,972 --> 00:33:35,974
Five, six rounds went well.
557
00:33:35,974 --> 00:33:37,976
Then boom!
558
00:33:37,976 --> 00:33:40,979
Wepner probably has a wound
above the eye.
559
00:33:40,979 --> 00:33:43,982
I see something red.
560
00:33:43,982 --> 00:33:46,985
Wepner has a deep wound
above the eye.
561
00:33:46,985 --> 00:33:48,987
Come on!
–Wepner raises his hands.
562
00:33:48,987 --> 00:33:50,989
"Come on, champion!
Don't you know better?"
563
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:53,992
Wepner is certainly tough.
564
00:33:53,992 --> 00:33:55,994
I have the utmost respect
his courage.
565
00:33:55,994 --> 00:33:58,997
But Ali doesn't care
for his abilities.
566
00:33:59,998 --> 00:34:02,960
All I know is that everyone said
that I will fall in the third round.
567
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,962
Now they are shouting my name.
568
00:34:04,962 --> 00:34:07,965
He really beat me like an ox,
but they liked it.
569
00:34:07,965 --> 00:34:08,966
And they liked me.
570
00:34:08,966 --> 00:34:10,968
John!
– Do you hear that, crowd?
571
00:34:11,969 --> 00:34:12,970
They love you!
572
00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:14,972
They love it!
573
00:34:15,973 --> 00:34:17,975
Hey!
- What is it?
574
00:34:17,975 --> 00:34:19,977
Look at me, asshole!
Focus!
575
00:34:21,979 --> 00:34:23,981
Wepner is not worried
left direct.
576
00:34:23,981 --> 00:34:25,983
Just takes hits.
577
00:34:25,983 --> 00:34:28,986
Is she trying to fool him
and strikes him with the left.
578
00:34:29,987 --> 00:34:31,989
Oops!
579
00:34:31,989 --> 00:34:33,991
Strong blow to the ribs
Muhammad Ali.
580
00:34:33,991 --> 00:34:35,993
What a surprise!
581
00:34:35,993 --> 00:34:38,996
Chuck Wepner made it
whip Muhammad Ali in the torso!
582
00:34:40,998 --> 00:34:41,999
Fucking!
583
00:34:41,999 --> 00:34:43,959
I was shocked
along with others.
584
00:34:43,959 --> 00:34:45,961
I felt dizzy.
585
00:34:46,962 --> 00:34:48,964
I know I waved him hard,
but when he fell on his ass …
586
00:34:48,964 --> 00:34:50,966
are you ok
Look at me.
587
00:34:50,966 --> 00:34:53,969
I saw myself as a champion
in the heavyweight division.
588
00:34:53,969 --> 00:34:55,971
But it didn't last long.
He got up.
589
00:34:55,971 --> 00:34:57,973
And he was furious.
590
00:34:57,973 --> 00:34:59,975
Will he just wake up
591
00:34:59,975 --> 00:35:01,977
and began to really struggle.
It wasn't a joke.
592
00:35:01,977 --> 00:35:04,980
He managed to surprise Ali.
593
00:35:05,981 --> 00:35:07,983
Did he land on his butt.
594
00:35:07,983 --> 00:35:09,985
Look now,
how Ali tries.
595
00:35:09,985 --> 00:35:12,988
Is he mad.
Wepner is clearly in trouble.
596
00:35:23,999 --> 00:35:25,959
Until the 12th round
he closed both my eyes,
597
00:35:25,959 --> 00:35:28,962
broke his nose, but still
he danced around me.
598
00:35:29,963 --> 00:35:31,965
But I didn't care.
599
00:35:31,965 --> 00:35:34,968
I was happy
to be in the ring with him.
600
00:35:34,968 --> 00:35:36,970
After that, less
I remember.
601
00:35:37,971 --> 00:35:39,973
I tried
stay on your feet.
602
00:35:39,973 --> 00:35:41,975
And I felt no pain,
when he was beating me.
603
00:35:41,975 --> 00:35:44,978
Just the blows of his fists,
bone to bone.
604
00:35:44,978 --> 00:35:46,980
Boom!
605
00:35:47,981 --> 00:35:48,982
Boom!
606
00:35:48,982 --> 00:35:50,984
Stay on your feet, Chuck.
607
00:35:52,986 --> 00:35:56,990
15. round of the title match
heavyweight champion.
608
00:35:56,990 --> 00:35:59,993
Audience at the Colosseum
he is on his feet.
609
00:35:59,993 --> 00:36:01,995
They won a much better match,
as they expected.
610
00:36:03,997 --> 00:36:05,999
Muhammad Ali
would like to knock him out,
611
00:36:05,999 --> 00:36:07,960
but Wepner refuses to fall.
612
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,963
Good combination!
Wepner is ready for the end.
613
00:36:10,963 --> 00:36:12,965
Does it attack,
Wepner back off!
614
00:36:12,965 --> 00:36:14,967
He's still on his feet!
615
00:36:15,968 --> 00:36:17,970
Did he catch him!
616
00:36:17,970 --> 00:36:21,974
Wepner tries to defend himself.
He tries to hold on.
617
00:36:21,974 --> 00:36:25,978
He's losing ground!
Did he wave it wildly!
618
00:36:25,978 --> 00:36:27,980
Right and left.
619
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:30,983
He took down Chuck Wepner!
620
00:36:31,984 --> 00:36:33,986
Come on, Chuck!
Get up!
621
00:36:36,989 --> 00:36:38,991
The referee stopped the fight.
622
00:36:38,991 --> 00:36:40,993
It will be written as
technical knockout.
623
00:36:41,994 --> 00:36:45,998
Muhammad Ali remains
heavyweight champion.
624
00:38:11,959 --> 00:38:13,961
19 seconds.
625
00:38:13,961 --> 00:38:15,963
They stopped the duel,
and there are 19 seconds left.
626
00:38:16,964 --> 00:38:18,966
I failed.
627
00:38:18,966 --> 00:38:21,969
It is interesting,
that nobody cared.
628
00:38:21,969 --> 00:38:23,971
They threw me a party anyway.
629
00:38:25,973 --> 00:38:27,975
Wepner is a national hero.
630
00:38:27,975 --> 00:38:28,976
Does he tell me:
631
00:38:28,976 --> 00:38:29,977
Forget the bank.
We need firefighters,
632
00:38:29,977 --> 00:38:32,980
because Ali got up from the ground
and his bottom is on fire.
633
00:38:33,981 --> 00:38:34,982
Like this.
634
00:38:34,982 --> 00:38:37,985
How are these?
waited in Bayonne?
635
00:38:37,985 --> 00:38:39,987
Yes, great fun.
636
00:38:40,988 --> 00:38:43,991
Chuck, are you expecting a rematch?
You and Ali again?
637
00:38:44,992 --> 00:38:48,996
Maybe. Why not.
Unless he's afraid of me now.
638
00:38:48,996 --> 00:38:51,999
At the same time, I would like to enjoy it.
639
00:38:51,999 --> 00:38:54,960
Chuck, you look good.
–What do you do for fun, Chuck?
640
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,962
With wine, ladies
and songs.
641
00:38:56,962 --> 00:38:59,965
With wine, women and songs.
Not necessarily in that order.
642
00:38:59,965 --> 00:39:01,967
Good.
– Guess what I like best.
643
00:39:02,968 --> 00:39:05,971
I'll leave that to the viewers.
Let's go back to the duel.
644
00:39:06,972 --> 00:39:09,975
This is a knockout photo
in the ninth round.
645
00:39:09,975 --> 00:39:11,977
Come on!
–Does he claim you stepped on him
646
00:39:11,977 --> 00:39:16,982
and that he lost his balance
and therefore he fell.
647
00:39:16,982 --> 00:39:20,986
Circulation. If I step on you and you fall,
you're going to complain, aren't you?
648
00:39:20,986 --> 00:39:22,988
Of course,
you will do that first.
649
00:39:22,988 --> 00:39:25,991
He declared a knockout.
That's how it's run now.
650
00:39:26,992 --> 00:39:27,993
That's why we have judges.
651
00:39:27,993 --> 00:39:29,995
Daddy?
-He's making things up.
652
00:39:32,998 --> 00:39:35,000
Oops!
653
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:35,959
Is that me?
- Yes.
654
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,961
Look.
655
00:39:37,961 --> 00:39:39,963
Is that a snowman?
- No, dad.
656
00:39:40,964 --> 00:39:42,966
My little girl.
657
00:39:45,969 --> 00:39:47,971
I try not to look at it.
658
00:39:48,972 --> 00:39:50,974
I'll be right over.
659
00:39:51,975 --> 00:39:53,977
what are you doing
-Leave me alone.
660
00:39:53,977 --> 00:39:58,982
Aren't you going to watch the show?
It's not over yet. – Are you serious, Chuck?
661
00:39:58,982 --> 00:40:01,985
What is it?
- What? Wine, women and songs?
662
00:40:01,985 --> 00:40:03,987
On TV!
663
00:40:03,987 --> 00:40:06,990
Already on the street you embarrass yourself,
and now still on TV?
664
00:40:07,991 --> 00:40:09,993
I said woman
not women.
665
00:40:09,993 --> 00:40:12,996
I was thinking of you.
- You are loading.
666
00:40:12,996 --> 00:40:15,999
Come on, Phyl. I'm just bragging.
You know how it is.
667
00:40:15,999 --> 00:40:18,961
No, I don't know how it is!
And I don't care.
668
00:40:18,961 --> 00:40:20,963
That was it for me
an important evening.
669
00:40:20,963 --> 00:40:23,966
We were just kidding.
Everyone.
670
00:40:25,968 --> 00:40:29,972
They enjoyed it.
I behaved like everyone else in Bayonne.
671
00:40:30,973 --> 00:40:32,975
They loved it.
- Yes.
672
00:40:34,977 --> 00:40:36,979
Everyone loves you.
673
00:40:41,984 --> 00:40:43,986
I didn't understand her at all.
674
00:40:43,986 --> 00:40:45,988
Frankly, so high
I was in the clouds
675
00:40:45,988 --> 00:40:47,990
that I heard
just your voice.
676
00:40:48,991 --> 00:40:50,993
I bought it for her
a beautiful blue negligee.
677
00:40:50,993 --> 00:40:52,995
I said:
You have to wear it tonight
678
00:40:52,995 --> 00:40:56,999
because you will sleep
with the world champion.
679
00:40:56,999 --> 00:40:59,960
After the match
I came to the hotel.
680
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:02,963
And she said: Let me go to Ali's room
will he come to mine?
681
00:41:08,969 --> 00:41:09,970
How much vodka do you have?
682
00:41:10,971 --> 00:41:11,972
A lot.
I'll take everything you've got.
683
00:41:11,972 --> 00:41:14,975
It will be celebrated this week.
- It makes me happy.
684
00:41:14,975 --> 00:41:16,977
Redhead, can you do me a favor?
A round for everyone.
685
00:41:16,977 --> 00:41:18,979
Wait your turn.
I have guests.
686
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:20,981
Should I wait?
- Slow down, Chuck.
687
00:41:20,981 --> 00:41:23,984
Slowly. This is Linda.
Don't begrudge her.
688
00:41:23,984 --> 00:41:25,986
Linda, come here.
689
00:41:26,987 --> 00:41:28,989
Do you know who that is?
- I know. Bayonne bleeds.
690
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:32,993
how are you -Does he say
that it fell because you stepped on it.
691
00:41:32,993 --> 00:41:34,995
Yes?
Did he say that?
692
00:41:34,995 --> 00:41:36,997
Shit.
– That's what he said.
693
00:41:36,997 --> 00:41:38,999
You fight dirty.
He says you're a bastard.
694
00:41:40,959 --> 00:41:42,961
Bastard, huh?
695
00:41:42,961 --> 00:41:46,965
I'm not a bastard.
He almost became world champion.
696
00:41:46,965 --> 00:41:48,967
You're not Mountain River anymore.
697
00:41:49,968 --> 00:41:52,971
Have you seen this movie?
– Requiem for a boxer? Of course!
698
00:41:52,971 --> 00:41:55,974
Fucking!
- Not in this life.
699
00:41:55,974 --> 00:41:58,977
Now it's your turn.
What would you like?
700
00:42:02,981 --> 00:42:04,983
Vodka with ice.
And give them what they drink.
701
00:42:04,983 --> 00:42:07,986
Right.
– Thank you, champion.
702
00:42:07,986 --> 00:42:09,988
What is her name?
- Linda.
703
00:42:20,999 --> 00:42:22,960
Chuck, show her the ring.
704
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,962
What?
– Show her the ring.
705
00:42:25,963 --> 00:42:27,965
I designed it.
706
00:42:27,965 --> 00:42:30,968
It's a parable.
Black Onyx for Ali,
707
00:42:30,968 --> 00:42:32,970
I'm a diamond.
-Really?
708
00:42:33,971 --> 00:42:35,973
If I were you, I would search
gum machine,
709
00:42:35,973 --> 00:42:37,975
where did you find it
and demanded the coin back.
710
00:42:38,976 --> 00:42:40,978
let me ask you
what is your horoscope
711
00:42:40,978 --> 00:42:42,980
Are you kidding me?
-I mean it.
712
00:42:42,980 --> 00:42:45,983
Fish.
– You're loading! I am too!
713
00:42:45,983 --> 00:42:47,985
Poor fool!
- It's not!
714
00:42:47,985 --> 00:42:49,987
When were you born dude?
-26. in February.
715
00:42:50,988 --> 00:42:52,990
What is it?
716
00:42:52,990 --> 00:42:53,991
I was also born then.
– You're loading!
717
00:42:54,992 --> 00:42:56,994
No!
I was born then!
718
00:42:56,994 --> 00:42:58,996
Here, look.
719
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,960
Linda Pandiliano.
720
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,964
someone told you
that you are photogenic? -Of course.
721
00:43:09,965 --> 00:43:10,966
Seriously.
722
00:43:10,966 --> 00:43:12,968
I fell so in love
that it hurts.
723
00:43:13,969 --> 00:43:15,971
What are you doing later?
We're going to get married.
724
00:43:15,971 --> 00:43:17,973
I can, as soon as I call
your wife.
725
00:43:20,976 --> 00:43:22,978
Chuck,
you don't know anything about me
726
00:43:22,978 --> 00:43:25,981
I don't know anything about you either.
What are you doing?
727
00:43:48,962 --> 00:43:50,964
This one goes here.
728
00:43:53,967 --> 00:43:55,969
It's nice.
Chuck, come on over. I have a job.
729
00:43:56,970 --> 00:43:58,972
It's nice.
730
00:43:59,973 --> 00:44:01,975
This one is really beautiful!
731
00:44:01,975 --> 00:44:03,977
Please?
732
00:44:03,977 --> 00:44:05,979
Yes, I am.
733
00:44:05,979 --> 00:44:06,980
What?
734
00:44:06,980 --> 00:44:09,983
A year and a half after the duel
I got a call.
735
00:44:10,984 --> 00:44:11,985
The guy says he is
producer from Hollywood.
736
00:44:12,986 --> 00:44:15,989
He says he's a Stallone
wrote a script about me.
737
00:44:16,990 --> 00:44:17,991
And I...
- What?
738
00:44:18,992 --> 00:44:22,996
ROCKY
4/4, ROGER EBERT
739
00:44:38,971 --> 00:44:40,973
It doesn't matter either, you know?
740
00:44:41,974 --> 00:44:46,979
I think, it doesn't matter,
if I lose.
741
00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:50,983
it doesn't matter
if you crack my head.
742
00:44:52,985 --> 00:44:54,987
I just want to go all the way.
743
00:44:56,989 --> 00:44:59,992
Chuck?
- I know.
744
00:44:59,992 --> 00:45:02,995
No one has survived yet
with Creed all the way.
745
00:45:02,995 --> 00:45:04,997
If I can stand it...
746
00:45:06,999 --> 00:45:09,960
I hear the bell
and I'm still standing...
747
00:45:10,961 --> 00:45:13,964
Wepner is trying
stay on your feet!
748
00:45:13,964 --> 00:45:16,967
Try to stay on your feet.
749
00:45:16,967 --> 00:45:18,969
Chuck Wepner?
750
00:45:18,969 --> 00:45:23,974
You're Chuck Wepner, aren't you? - How are you?
– Company, this is Chuck Wepner!
751
00:45:24,975 --> 00:45:26,977
Says Rocky
– You fought great!
752
00:45:26,977 --> 00:45:28,979
Do you hear?
753
00:45:28,979 --> 00:45:30,981
Chuck Wepner.
True Rocky.
754
00:45:32,983 --> 00:45:33,984
I told you
to know me.
755
00:45:34,985 --> 00:45:35,986
Thank you.
756
00:45:35,986 --> 00:45:37,988
Good night.
Let's go.
757
00:45:38,989 --> 00:45:40,991
I felt
like a movie star.
758
00:45:40,991 --> 00:45:42,993
This guy understood me.
759
00:45:42,993 --> 00:45:44,995
The job of a debt collector,
760
00:45:44,995 --> 00:45:47,998
running up the stairs,
even a conversation with my wife.
761
00:45:47,998 --> 00:45:50,959
That was me.
I was Rocky.
762
00:46:12,981 --> 00:46:15,984
ladies and gentlemen,
look who came!
763
00:46:15,984 --> 00:46:17,986
The king himself!
764
00:46:18,987 --> 00:46:20,989
The guy who lasted 15 rounds
with Muhammad Ali!
765
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:23,992
The real Rocky Balboa!
766
00:46:23,992 --> 00:46:26,995
The most durable dude
Garden State!
767
00:46:26,995 --> 00:46:29,998
A round of applause for Chuck Wepner!
768
00:46:36,964 --> 00:46:38,966
It's here! This!
769
00:46:38,966 --> 00:46:40,968
That's what I'm telling you!
770
00:46:55,983 --> 00:46:56,984
How about a band?
771
00:46:56,984 --> 00:46:58,986
Cinema hit, musical hit.
What else can I say?
772
00:46:59,987 --> 00:47:01,989
I'm lucky.
773
00:47:28,974 --> 00:47:30,976
Go get a drink.
how are you
774
00:47:31,977 --> 00:47:34,980
That's right!
775
00:47:35,981 --> 00:47:37,983
John, look at her.
776
00:47:38,984 --> 00:47:40,986
Champion, I have to tell you,
777
00:47:41,987 --> 00:47:43,989
that the movie is fantastic!
- Thank you.
778
00:47:43,989 --> 00:47:46,992
How many nominations did you get?
- Ten.
779
00:47:46,992 --> 00:47:49,995
For the film, the male lead,
directed by...
780
00:47:49,995 --> 00:47:51,997
Fucking!
You must have gotten rich!
781
00:47:51,997 --> 00:47:53,999
I'll tell you a secret.
782
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,960
When Sly mentioned Rocky to me,
783
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,963
he offered me
70,000 or 1 percent of earnings.
784
00:47:59,963 --> 00:48:01,965
I took 70000.
I don't know movies.
785
00:48:02,966 --> 00:48:04,968
Rather a sparrow in the hand, no?
786
00:48:04,968 --> 00:48:07,971
A sparrow in the hand is good
as much as a hand in a bush. Are you tickling?
787
00:48:07,971 --> 00:48:10,974
I'm double counting.
788
00:48:10,974 --> 00:48:14,978
Mouse, give him what he drinks.
I pay. - This.
789
00:48:14,978 --> 00:48:16,980
Thank you, champion.
- A trifle.
790
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:19,983
Did you get 70000 for the movie?
-Shut up.
791
00:48:20,984 --> 00:48:22,986
Did you hear?
70000.
792
00:48:22,986 --> 00:48:25,989
What? –Chuck got it
70000 for Rocky.
793
00:48:25,989 --> 00:48:30,994
John, shut the fuck up. - What?
-Seriously. You are not my agent.
794
00:48:30,994 --> 00:48:33,997
That's my thing.
I don't want everyone to know.
795
00:48:34,998 --> 00:48:35,999
Sorry.
796
00:48:35,999 --> 00:48:37,960
Forget it.
797
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,962
I didn't want to.
- Forget it.
798
00:48:40,963 --> 00:48:42,965
Vodka with ice, please.
799
00:48:44,967 --> 00:48:46,969
Sorry.
800
00:48:47,970 --> 00:48:49,972
I didn't really get it
not even a cent.
801
00:48:49,972 --> 00:48:51,974
Seriously?
- Not a cent.
802
00:48:52,975 --> 00:48:54,977
Pizdaria.
I'm sorry.
803
00:48:54,977 --> 00:48:58,981
I know, but the guy asked me
in front of the girls. I don't want to come across as miserable.
804
00:48:58,981 --> 00:49:01,984
You know it will
left with me.
805
00:49:01,984 --> 00:49:04,987
Rumors are dangerous.
You know I'm not like that.
806
00:49:04,987 --> 00:49:08,991
I won't mention it again.
I forgot 70000. – Thank you.
807
00:49:08,991 --> 00:49:09,992
I won't mention it again.
- Stop already!
808
00:49:10,993 --> 00:49:13,996
Chuck, my best friend
I would like to meet you.
809
00:49:15,998 --> 00:49:18,959
I would like to meet
with whom in more?
810
00:49:18,959 --> 00:49:21,962
No, no one is waiting for you.
I'd like you to sniff with me.
811
00:49:22,963 --> 00:49:25,966
What?
- You sniff. Come on.
812
00:49:30,971 --> 00:49:32,973
What is this?
It's great.
813
00:49:32,973 --> 00:49:34,975
Damn great.
814
00:49:34,975 --> 00:49:36,977
Haven't tried it yet?
– John, have you tried it?
815
00:49:36,977 --> 00:49:38,979
I didn't, but I think
that I should repeat.
816
00:49:38,979 --> 00:49:41,982
Of course!
817
00:49:41,982 --> 00:49:44,985
Fucking! It goes through!
- That's right.
818
00:49:45,986 --> 00:49:47,988
John, would you like to try?
- Yeah, fuck it!
819
00:49:49,990 --> 00:49:51,992
Hello!
Would you like a dash?
820
00:49:52,993 --> 00:49:54,995
Are you behind the dash?
821
00:49:54,995 --> 00:49:56,997
Great fun!
Like this.
822
00:50:54,972 --> 00:50:57,975
Say goodbye, Chuck.
823
00:50:58,976 --> 00:50:59,977
What?
824
00:50:59,977 --> 00:51:01,979
Say goodbye.
825
00:51:03,981 --> 00:51:05,983
What?
826
00:51:06,984 --> 00:51:09,987
Where are you going?
- No, I don't. You.
827
00:51:10,988 --> 00:51:12,990
Right now, today.
828
00:51:13,991 --> 00:51:15,993
Fucking!
829
00:51:17,995 --> 00:51:19,997
What are you talking about?
830
00:51:19,997 --> 00:51:21,999
I don't want you anymore
in his house.
831
00:51:21,999 --> 00:51:23,959
And close to my baby.
832
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,962
You stink, Chuck.
833
00:51:26,962 --> 00:51:28,964
You reek of old scumbags.
834
00:51:30,966 --> 00:51:33,969
You're kidding me.
I'm going out with Kimberly.
835
00:51:33,969 --> 00:51:36,972
What?
– Disappear before I come back.
836
00:51:36,972 --> 00:51:38,974
No, wait.
-No!
837
00:51:38,974 --> 00:51:40,976
Wait.
838
00:51:40,976 --> 00:51:43,979
You have to leave, period.
839
00:51:43,979 --> 00:51:46,982
Phyl, please.
840
00:51:49,985 --> 00:51:52,988
I can't think now.
My head hurts so much...
841
00:51:53,989 --> 00:51:56,992
Would you like to talk about the pain?
He lives in my skin for five minutes,
842
00:51:56,992 --> 00:51:58,994
then we'll talk about pain.
843
00:52:55,968 --> 00:52:57,970
Al, what are you doing?
844
00:52:58,971 --> 00:53:01,974
I have two words for you.
845
00:53:01,974 --> 00:53:04,977
Andre the Giant.
– What's wrong with him?
846
00:53:05,978 --> 00:53:08,981
You will beat him.
847
00:53:08,981 --> 00:53:10,983
I spoke
with Vince McMahon.
848
00:53:10,983 --> 00:53:14,987
He wants a mixed match.
Wrestling and boxing.
849
00:53:14,987 --> 00:53:15,988
Wrestling?
850
00:53:16,989 --> 00:53:18,991
You can't find me
a normal match?
851
00:53:18,991 --> 00:53:21,994
If you want to work,
you have to stay famous.
852
00:53:21,994 --> 00:53:23,996
Dancing with Andre the Giant
at Shea Stadium
853
00:53:23,996 --> 00:53:25,998
it won't hurt you.
854
00:53:25,998 --> 00:53:28,959
Chuck Wepner,
Goliath Garden Stata.
855
00:53:30,961 --> 00:53:32,963
Shea Stadium?
- Yes.
856
00:53:32,963 --> 00:53:34,965
More than 15000 people.
857
00:53:35,966 --> 00:53:36,967
Happy day.
858
00:53:36,967 --> 00:53:38,969
Lucky guy.
859
00:53:40,971 --> 00:53:42,973
Al, listen.
860
00:53:43,974 --> 00:53:45,976
Is this for real?
- What?
861
00:53:46,977 --> 00:53:49,980
Wrestling.
Are they really fighting?
862
00:53:51,982 --> 00:53:53,984
What's funny?
863
00:53:53,984 --> 00:53:55,986
How should I know?
864
00:53:55,986 --> 00:53:56,987
Andre the Giant, huh?
865
00:54:03,994 --> 00:54:05,996
I think Wepner
cannot reach him.
866
00:54:08,999 --> 00:54:12,961
And when he catches him,
he doesn't know what to do with him!
867
00:54:14,963 --> 00:54:16,965
Linda!
868
00:54:26,975 --> 00:54:29,978
Andre is with it
showed little mercy.
869
00:54:30,979 --> 00:54:33,982
MARCH 1977
–43. the Oscars.
870
00:54:33,982 --> 00:54:35,984
Live from the pavilion
Dorothy Chandler.
871
00:54:38,987 --> 00:54:43,992
And he is the winner
John G. Avildsen for Rocky!
872
00:54:45,994 --> 00:54:47,996
This!
873
00:54:47,996 --> 00:54:49,998
Ouch!
874
00:54:51,959 --> 00:54:54,962
Rocky gave hope to many.
875
00:54:55,963 --> 00:54:59,967
There is no better feeling,
as when you achieve something.
876
00:55:00,968 --> 00:55:02,970
And the winner is…
877
00:55:03,971 --> 00:55:05,973
Rocky!
878
00:55:10,978 --> 00:55:12,980
What, for…
879
00:55:12,980 --> 00:55:14,982
Hell!
880
00:55:37,963 --> 00:55:40,966
Chuck?
– Hi, Flo. how are you
881
00:55:41,967 --> 00:55:42,968
Well, Chuck.
882
00:55:42,968 --> 00:55:44,970
Get in.
883
00:55:44,970 --> 00:55:46,972
This is for you.
- Thank you.
884
00:55:46,972 --> 00:55:48,974
Mother-in-law's language.
I thought it was witty.
885
00:55:48,974 --> 00:55:51,977
Don, your brother is here.
Chuck!
886
00:55:52,978 --> 00:55:54,980
What?
– Your brother, you jerk.
887
00:55:55,981 --> 00:55:59,985
What the hell? - Hi, Donny.
- What about you here?
888
00:55:59,985 --> 00:56:01,987
Won't you say hi to me?
- Hello. What...
889
00:56:02,988 --> 00:56:05,991
What's wrong?
- Nothing. Everything is great.
890
00:56:06,992 --> 00:56:07,993
I work in the kitchen.
Excuse me.
891
00:56:08,994 --> 00:56:11,997
Flo, do you have glasses?
- I have. - Thank you.
892
00:56:15,959 --> 00:56:17,961
You look good.
– What's going on?
893
00:56:18,962 --> 00:56:21,965
You don't know, do you?
- What?
894
00:56:22,966 --> 00:56:26,970
Prizes!
The Oscars, dude.
895
00:56:26,970 --> 00:56:29,973
Nobody watches this shit.
896
00:56:29,973 --> 00:56:32,976
Didn't you watch?
- No, I didn't see anything.
897
00:56:33,977 --> 00:56:35,979
We won.
898
00:56:35,979 --> 00:56:39,983
Who won? You?
- Yes, Rocky. Rocky won.
899
00:56:40,984 --> 00:56:42,986
And?
900
00:56:42,986 --> 00:56:43,987
What do you mean?
901
00:56:44,988 --> 00:56:45,989
He is me, I am him.
-Who?
902
00:56:46,990 --> 00:56:50,994
Rocky, this is my life.
There's no Rocky without me, Don.
903
00:56:50,994 --> 00:56:52,996
Good.
904
00:56:52,996 --> 00:56:54,998
And?
905
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,962
Don, what, you got a kid?
906
00:57:00,963 --> 00:57:02,965
Forget it.
907
00:57:03,966 --> 00:57:05,968
Good.
908
00:57:05,968 --> 00:57:07,970
You don't count.
909
00:57:09,972 --> 00:57:10,973
I have to go.
- All right, Chuck.
910
00:57:11,974 --> 00:57:13,976
How are the kids?
– A child. I have one child.
911
00:57:13,976 --> 00:57:15,978
Yes, I know.
How is she?
912
00:57:15,978 --> 00:57:18,981
With him!
– Christ!
913
00:57:18,981 --> 00:57:21,984
Yes, that's right.
All right.
914
00:57:23,986 --> 00:57:25,988
Chuck,
what are you even doing here?
915
00:57:26,989 --> 00:57:29,992
Why did you come?
- I don't know.
916
00:57:29,992 --> 00:57:31,994
I wanted to celebrate
and greet you.
917
00:57:32,995 --> 00:57:35,998
A movie?
– Yes, my life.
918
00:57:36,999 --> 00:57:39,960
My lucky day on the big screen.
Awards, Oscars.
919
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,964
It means nothing to you
but it is still important.
920
00:57:45,966 --> 00:57:47,968
Congratulations.
921
00:57:50,971 --> 00:57:52,973
Thank you.
922
00:57:56,977 --> 00:57:58,979
What is the name of the little one?
923
00:57:59,980 --> 00:58:00,981
You mean your nephew?
924
00:58:00,981 --> 00:58:03,984
Danny?
- Yes, exactly. I knew.
925
00:58:05,986 --> 00:58:07,988
Greet him on my behalf.
926
00:58:07,988 --> 00:58:09,990
tell him
that the champion came and…
927
00:58:11,992 --> 00:58:13,994
You know.
928
00:58:14,995 --> 00:58:16,997
Chuck, you…
929
00:58:18,999 --> 00:58:21,960
what are you doing
Will you stay for dinner? You can.
930
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,964
No, they're waiting for me.
Second time. See you, Don.
931
00:58:53,992 --> 00:58:57,996
Good day. Number please
United Artists in Hollywood.
932
00:58:58,997 --> 00:59:00,999
Hollywood.
933
00:59:00,999 --> 00:59:03,961
Mr. Stallone,
sorry to bother you but...
934
00:59:03,961 --> 00:59:06,964
Hi Sly. I'm Chuck Wepner
and i am your fan.
935
00:59:06,964 --> 00:59:09,967
Hi Sly. how are you
Chuck Wepner.
936
00:59:10,968 --> 00:59:12,970
I like your movies.
937
00:59:15,973 --> 00:59:16,974
Rocky was…
You know.
938
00:59:17,975 --> 00:59:21,979
Chuck Wepner here. I would like to speak
with sylvester stallon please.
939
00:59:22,980 --> 00:59:26,984
Wepner.
W–E–P–N–E–R.
940
00:59:28,986 --> 00:59:30,988
Yes, I think he knows
who i am
941
00:59:33,991 --> 00:59:35,993
Have you heard of Rocky?
942
00:59:36,994 --> 00:59:39,997
Hello?
943
00:59:40,998 --> 00:59:41,999
Cunt!
944
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,961
It wasn't about the money,
I just wanted to meet him.
945
00:59:45,961 --> 00:59:47,963
Like having a twin brother,
which you have not met.
946
00:59:48,964 --> 00:59:50,966
What was he talking about?
About česplja?
947
00:59:50,966 --> 00:59:53,969
He probably has loads of them.
– John, please.
948
00:59:53,969 --> 00:59:55,971
Sly is discreet.
That's how it is in Hollywood.
949
00:59:55,971 --> 00:59:57,973
Don't talk about it.
-Of course.
950
00:59:57,973 --> 00:59:58,974
And the boys who wander
they don't talk about it.
951
00:59:59,975 --> 01:00:00,976
We are both professionals.
952
01:00:01,977 --> 01:00:03,979
We're talking about a fight with Ali,
I give him advice.
953
01:00:03,979 --> 01:00:06,982
Tips?
- I didn't tell you that.
954
01:00:06,982 --> 01:00:08,984
Mega!
– You shouldn't talk about it.
955
01:00:08,984 --> 01:00:10,986
When we arrive...
- What were they talking about?
956
01:00:10,986 --> 01:00:12,988
When we arrive...
– Why are you nervous?
957
01:00:12,988 --> 01:00:14,990
Just…
958
01:00:15,991 --> 01:00:17,993
It wasn't easy to get to Stallone,
959
01:00:18,994 --> 01:00:20,996
but I had a friend
in the alcohol business in New York.
960
01:00:20,996 --> 01:00:23,999
He knew where Sly was going,
so he told the bailiff to warn me.
961
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,960
Thank you.
962
01:00:30,964 --> 01:00:32,966
Sorry, we are closed
for a private party.
963
01:00:32,966 --> 01:00:34,968
I know. how are you
Chuck Wepner.
964
01:00:35,969 --> 01:00:37,971
how can i help you
Mr. Wepner?
965
01:00:38,972 --> 01:00:41,975
Do you follow boxing?
Rocky? Tell Sly…
966
01:00:41,975 --> 01:00:44,978
John, I'll be myself.
You should know.
967
01:00:44,978 --> 01:00:49,983
Would you say Mr. Stallone,
that Chuck Wepner came?
968
01:00:52,986 --> 01:00:55,989
Is he expecting you?
- What?
969
01:00:55,989 --> 01:00:57,991
Is he expecting you?
970
01:00:58,992 --> 01:01:00,994
Yes, he's expecting us.
971
01:01:01,995 --> 01:01:04,998
Wait a moment.
972
01:01:12,965 --> 01:01:15,968
Is that him?
-Hands down!
973
01:01:15,968 --> 01:01:17,970
Fucking!
974
01:01:17,970 --> 01:01:19,972
Oops! Come on!
975
01:01:20,973 --> 01:01:21,974
This!
-Hey!
976
01:01:21,974 --> 01:01:24,977
What?
-Wait here.
977
01:01:24,977 --> 01:01:27,980
Why?
-Give me time with Stallone.
978
01:01:30,983 --> 01:01:32,985
I can't believe who I see.
Chuck Wepner.
979
01:01:33,986 --> 01:01:35,988
How are you, Sly?
-I feel better right away.
980
01:01:35,988 --> 01:01:37,990
I've wanted you for a long time
meet, champion. - Thank you.
981
01:01:37,990 --> 01:01:38,991
It's my honor.
- The same.
982
01:01:39,992 --> 01:01:41,994
Let me introduce you guys.
Do you guys know Chuck Wepner?
983
01:01:41,994 --> 01:01:43,996
Company, Chuck Wepner!
984
01:01:43,996 --> 01:01:45,998
No, please.
985
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,960
Sly, I hope you don't mind.
- No, come.
986
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,963
It turned out that he wanted to
also my twin get to know me.
987
01:01:52,963 --> 01:01:55,966
He even gave me a script
for the new Rocky.
988
01:01:55,966 --> 01:01:57,968
Ching Weber, are you counting?
989
01:01:57,968 --> 01:01:59,970
Ching Weber,
Chuck Wepner, it's fine, isn't it?
990
01:01:59,970 --> 01:02:01,972
Hollywood doesn't make sequels,
if he does not believe in success.
991
01:02:01,972 --> 01:02:02,973
This is a ziher
like breaded chicken.
992
01:02:03,974 --> 01:02:05,976
Ching says:
"You can't think of anything better
993
01:02:05,976 --> 01:02:07,978
from: Opa without stones?"
994
01:02:07,978 --> 01:02:10,981
Come on, isn't that great?
No?
995
01:02:10,981 --> 01:02:11,982
It's great.
– Are you barking?
996
01:02:11,982 --> 01:02:13,984
you thought
that the fight with Ali is the top.
997
01:02:13,984 --> 01:02:15,986
Isn't it nothing
compared to this.
998
01:02:15,986 --> 01:02:17,988
You should have an address
Wepner 2.
999
01:02:17,988 --> 01:02:19,990
What about your face?
1000
01:02:22,993 --> 01:02:24,995
Like all my life
I'm training for it.
1001
01:02:24,995 --> 01:02:27,998
Duel with Stallone
on big screens.
1002
01:02:28,999 --> 01:02:31,960
Notify the other planets, John.
A star is born.
1003
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:33,962
In clinch Bayonne.
1004
01:02:34,963 --> 01:02:36,965
What is it?
Can I have one more?
1005
01:02:40,969 --> 01:02:44,973
That's it.
Rocky 2.
1006
01:02:44,973 --> 01:02:48,977
I haven't seen him yet.
– Few have it.
1007
01:02:48,977 --> 01:02:49,978
It's a secret.
1008
01:02:49,978 --> 01:02:51,980
It is called a script.
1009
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:52,981
Where did you get it?
1010
01:02:53,982 --> 01:02:55,984
What do you mean?
I'm acting in a movie.
1011
01:02:55,984 --> 01:02:58,987
Sly wants to meet tomorrow
got with the producers.
1012
01:02:58,987 --> 01:02:59,988
He wrote the role for me.
1013
01:03:00,989 --> 01:03:02,991
Would you like to read some dialogue?
- What?
1014
01:03:03,992 --> 01:03:04,993
That's how they do it.
They read the dialogues.
1015
01:03:05,994 --> 01:03:07,996
Okay, let's read
cliché dialogues.
1016
01:03:07,996 --> 01:03:08,997
Right, dude.
1017
01:03:29,977 --> 01:03:32,980
I was in 1952
in fifth place.
1018
01:03:33,981 --> 01:03:36,984
I'm not kidding.
I was fifth.
1019
01:03:38,986 --> 01:03:40,988
Marciano, Walcott and Charles
are still active,
1020
01:03:41,989 --> 01:03:44,992
I was fifth.
1021
01:03:45,993 --> 01:03:47,995
Look, it's great.
1022
01:03:48,996 --> 01:03:53,000
Ma'am, I don't have any particular problem.
1023
01:03:53,959 --> 01:03:55,961
You think I'm big
unkempt slacker.
1024
01:03:55,961 --> 01:03:57,963
I look like a sleeper.
But I almost did
1025
01:03:58,964 --> 01:04:00,966
world champion
in the heavyweight division.
1026
01:04:00,966 --> 01:04:02,968
Why don't you write this down?
1027
01:04:03,969 --> 01:04:05,971
Mountain River
he wasn't a bastard.
1028
01:04:06,972 --> 01:04:09,975
Mountain River
would almost become world champion.
1029
01:04:11,977 --> 01:04:14,980
Oops!
It was great!
1030
01:04:14,980 --> 01:04:16,982
Seriously!
It was great!
1031
01:04:16,982 --> 01:04:19,985
Thank you.
– You are ready for a close shot,
1032
01:04:19,985 --> 01:04:22,988
Mr. Deville.
- I have a lump in my throat.
1033
01:04:24,990 --> 01:04:28,994
For the second performance
would imitate Sonny Liston
1034
01:04:28,994 --> 01:04:30,996
in the last match
against Muhammad Ali.
1035
01:04:31,997 --> 01:04:33,999
How it falls.
1036
01:04:41,965 --> 01:04:44,968
We have to spend it all.

Chuck, hey!
1040
01:05:00,984 --> 01:05:03,987
You must be late

1041
01:05:03,987 --> 01:05:05,989
Good.
1042
01:05:09,993 --> 01:05:13,997
Where is the key? Where is he?
Where is the key?
1043
01:05:14,998 --> 01:05:16,959
Put away the drink.
1044
01:05:16,959 --> 01:05:18,961
Mr. Wepner.

01:05:22,965 --> 01:05:24,967
They'll hire you right away.
– Do you have a menthol candy?
1047
01:05:25,968 --> 01:05:26,969
I must be crazy.
1048
01:05:27,970 --> 01:05:29,972
Your friends
they have to wait here.
1049
01:05:29,972 --> 01:05:31,974
They're not allowed in?
-Behind me.
1050
01:05:31,974 --> 01:05:33,976
Excuse me, miss.
1051
01:05:33,976 --> 01:05:35,978
From Jersey they came,

1052
01:05:37,980 --> 01:05:39,982
Will you read the dialogue?
1053
01:05:44,987 --> 01:05:45,988
There it is!
1054
01:05:46,989 --> 01:05:47,990

Thank you for coming.

Nothing. –Society, that is
Chuck Wepner. Real dude.
1059
01:06:00,961 --> 01:06:02,963
how are you
1060
01:06:03,964 --> 01:06:05,966
I see you have food.
1061
01:06:05,966 --> 01:06:07,968
Pastries with salmon,
that's what I'm telling you.
1062
01:06:09,970 --> 01:06:11,972
Shall we begin?
- What?
1063
01:06:12,973 --> 01:06:14,975
Shall we read, champ?
1064
01:06:14,975 --> 01:06:16,977
Shit, yeah.
1065
01:06:16,977 --> 01:06:18,979
I was born ready.
1066
01:06:18,979 --> 01:06:21,982
Good.
Chuck, stand here.
1067
01:06:22,983 --> 01:06:24,985
So, in this scene

01:06:24,985 --> 01:06:26,987
Rocky and Ching train.
1069
01:06:26,987 --> 01:06:30,991
Micky the old coach, watching,
and you are jealous because you think
1070
01:06:30,991 --> 01:06:32,993
that he should
you fight for the title.
1071
01:06:32,993 --> 01:06:33,994
And you can't stand it.
1072
01:06:33,994 --> 01:06:35,996
Someone else got
what is yours.
1073
01:06:36,997 --> 01:06:40,000
Try to empathize.
-I don't have to.
1074
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,962
It's me. - That's right.
Excellent. Great.
1075
01:06:43,962 --> 01:06:46,965
Good. I'll be Rocky
And Charlotte will be reading Mickey.
1076
01:06:47,966 --> 01:06:48,967
Good.
-Ready?
1077
01:06:48,967 --> 01:06:51,970
Yes, we are moving. We are fighting.

I should be working!
1082
01:07:00,979 --> 01:07:03,982
I'm sorry, Sly. Just…
- Slow down.
1083
01:07:04,983 --> 01:07:06,985
You're a bastard!
1084
01:07:06,985 --> 01:07:09,988
I can beat you up
and everyone else in this room.
1085
01:07:10,989 --> 01:07:12,991
In one day.
1086
01:07:12,991 --> 01:07:15,994
Yeah, but we're just practicing.
1087
01:07:15,994 --> 01:07:17,996
I'm preparing

1088
01:07:17,996 --> 01:07:20,999
you are paid
to practice with him.
1089
01:07:20,999 --> 01:07:22,960
Just do your job.
1090
01:07:24,962 --> 01:07:25,963
Shit, sorry.
1091
01:07:25,963 --> 01:07:27,965
This replica…
-Relax, it's you.
1092
01:07:27,965 --> 01:07:29,967
Excuse me.
- It's you. You will be able to.
1093
01:07:29,967 --> 01:07:32,970
Be you. - What?
- Be who you are. Let's start again.

Good.
-Ready?

01:07:36,974 --> 01:07:38,976
Good.

What was that?
I should train.
1099
01:07:46,984 --> 01:07:48,986
You're a bastard!
1100
01:07:48,986 --> 01:07:50,988
I can beat you up
and all in this hall!
1101
01:07:51,989 --> 01:07:53,991
In one day!
1102
01:07:54,992 --> 01:07:56,994
Yes, but we're just training.
1103
01:07:57,995 --> 01:07:58,996
I am preparing for a title fight.
1104
01:07:58,996 --> 01:08:01,999

to train with him.
1105
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,960
Just do your job.
1106
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,962
What's going on?
1107
01:08:08,964 --> 01:08:11,967
He should
train with me!
1108
01:08:14,970 --> 01:08:16,972
Thank you.
1109
01:08:18,974 --> 01:08:19,975
Is everything okay?
-Come here.
1110
01:08:20,976 --> 01:08:22,978
Come on.
– Did I do something wrong?
1111
01:08:22,978 --> 01:08:24,980
No, you didn't.
1112
01:08:24,980 --> 01:08:28,984
Listen.
I would like you to be in this movie.
1113
01:08:28,984 --> 01:08:30,986
go to the bathroom
take your time. Read the script
1114
01:08:31,987 --> 01:08:33,989
and pull yourself together.
Then try again.
1115
01:08:34,990 --> 01:08:35,991
Will you be able to?
1116
01:08:35,991 --> 01:08:37,993
Be who you are.
1117
01:08:37,993 --> 01:08:42,998
Right, champion? - Good.
Thank you, Sly.
1118
01:10:00,993 --> 01:10:01,994
Chuck!
1119
01:10:20,971 --> 01:10:24,975
THREE YEARS LATER
1120
01:10:31,982 --> 01:10:33,984
Yes?
1121
01:10:35,986 --> 01:10:36,987
Hello.
1122
01:10:41,992 --> 01:10:42,993
You can.
1123
01:10:43,994 --> 01:10:46,997
Two ounces.
Are you throwing a party?
1124
01:10:48,999 --> 01:10:51,960
Okay, I'll call
of his type.
1125
01:10:52,961 --> 01:10:55,964
Okay, see you at eight.
1126
01:10:56,965 --> 01:10:58,967
Was it Devon?
1127
01:10:59,968 --> 01:11:01,970
Is that his name?
- Yes.
1128
01:11:03,972 --> 01:11:05,974
He wants two ounces.
- Two?
1129
01:11:06,975 --> 01:11:07,976
Christ!
1130
01:11:07,976 --> 01:11:09,978
Did he say where he was going?
1131
01:11:10,979 --> 01:11:12,981
You are really limited.
1132
01:11:20,989 --> 01:11:22,991
Hello?
–Hi, Phyllis here.
1133
01:11:22,991 --> 01:11:24,993
Hi Phyllis.
–Where's Chuck?
1134
01:11:24,993 --> 01:11:26,995
Is he with you?
- Yes.
1135
01:11:26,995 --> 01:11:28,997
I should be at school
with my daughter. – Now?
1136
01:11:28,997 --> 01:11:31,959
Are you sure?
Chuck!
1137
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:33,961
Chuck, it's Phyllis.
1138
01:11:33,961 --> 01:11:36,964
He says he should be
on something childish.
1139
01:11:36,964 --> 01:11:38,966
At school.
1140
01:11:45,973 --> 01:11:47,975
Hi Phyl.
–Today is parent day.
1141
01:11:47,975 --> 01:11:49,977
Yes.
–What? Did you forget again?
1142
01:11:49,977 --> 01:11:50,978
No, I didn't.
1143
01:11:51,979 --> 01:11:55,983
Are you coming? He wants to see you.
- Yes. Calm down, I'll be right back.
1144
01:11:55,983 --> 01:11:57,985
Right, bye.
1145
01:11:59,987 --> 01:12:01,989
Are you going to school now?
1146
01:12:03,991 --> 01:12:05,993
Chuck, seriously.
You look bad.
1147
01:12:07,995 --> 01:12:09,997
Will you take a sniff?
1148
01:12:10,998 --> 01:12:11,999
You can.
1149
01:12:34,980 --> 01:12:37,983
I'm here.
I'm here, excuse me.
1150
01:12:37,983 --> 01:12:40,986
Here is my little girl!
- Hi, dad.
1151
01:12:40,986 --> 01:12:42,988
how is it
Smart as an owl.
1152
01:12:43,989 --> 01:12:45,991
According to my mother, thank God.
1153
01:12:45,991 --> 01:12:48,994
I'm rude.
Excuse me, I'm Chuck.
1154
01:12:48,994 --> 01:12:50,996
Kimberly's father.
- I'm glad, Mr. Wepner.
1155
01:12:50,996 --> 01:12:52,998
The same.
You can call me Chuck.
1156
01:12:52,998 --> 01:12:55,959
Or a champion.
Do you follow boxing?
1157
01:12:55,959 --> 01:12:57,961
No, I don't follow.
-No?
1158
01:12:57,961 --> 01:13:01,965
Have you seen Rocky?
-Chuck! - What is it?
1159
01:13:01,965 --> 01:13:03,967
Is this a statement?
1160
01:13:03,967 --> 01:13:06,970
Look.
– You're holding it wrong.
1161
01:13:06,970 --> 01:13:08,972
She doesn't get away with anything.
1162
01:13:08,972 --> 01:13:12,976
Excuse me.
– Don't apologize, I was wrong.
1163
01:13:12,976 --> 01:13:13,977
Chuck, stop it!
- I was wrong.
1164
01:13:14,978 --> 01:13:15,979
Stop it!
- Right.
1165
01:13:16,980 --> 01:13:18,982
Why are we here?
1166
01:13:18,982 --> 01:13:20,984
I was just talking
1167
01:13:20,984 --> 01:13:23,987
that she is one of mine
the best students. -Of course.
1168
01:13:23,987 --> 01:13:26,990
She's doing great
I'm proud of her.
1169
01:13:26,990 --> 01:13:28,992
Good, good.
- Yes.
1170
01:13:28,992 --> 01:13:30,994
I'd like to show you something.
1171
01:13:30,994 --> 01:13:33,997
I wrote you a song.
You will love it.
1172
01:13:34,998 --> 01:13:35,999
It's the address
My little girl.
1173
01:13:35,999 --> 01:13:39,962
I wrote it because I miss you.
So much it hurts. Look.
1174
01:13:40,963 --> 01:13:41,964
Now you are big,
you are no longer a child,
1175
01:13:41,964 --> 01:13:43,966
But you are still my treasure.
1176
01:13:43,966 --> 01:13:45,968
When you grew up...
- Let's go.
1177
01:13:45,968 --> 01:13:49,972
Excuse me.
– I was a few minutes late.
1178
01:13:49,972 --> 01:13:51,974
Let her go, Chuck!
1179
01:13:51,974 --> 01:13:55,978
Come on Phyl!
I'm sorry!
1180
01:13:57,980 --> 01:13:59,982
Leave me alone.
– Stop for two minutes.
1181
01:14:00,983 --> 01:14:02,985
Kim...
-Don't move!
1182
01:14:02,985 --> 01:14:04,987
Right. –With my life
do what you want
1183
01:14:04,987 --> 01:14:05,988
I don't allow
to destroy hers!
1184
01:14:06,989 --> 01:14:07,990
I'm sorry, okay?
- I'm afraid for you.
1185
01:14:08,991 --> 01:14:10,993
For what will happen to you.
– Nothing will happen to me.
1186
01:14:10,993 --> 01:14:13,996
I'm a little screwed.
- I will pray for you.
1187
01:14:14,997 --> 01:14:15,998
I haven't prayed since high school,
1188
01:14:16,999 --> 01:14:19,960
but now I will so that you find strength
and you will be a father to your daughter!
1189
01:14:22,963 --> 01:14:24,965
Kim, sweetheart.
I will call you.
1190
01:14:24,965 --> 01:14:26,967
Right?
Open the window.
1191
01:14:26,967 --> 01:14:29,970
Hey, Kimberley, open up.
Your song!
1192
01:14:30,971 --> 01:14:31,972
Honey, open it.
1193
01:15:29,988 --> 01:15:33,992
Dear God!
-Chuck! how are you
1194
01:15:33,992 --> 01:15:35,994
You are.
- As far as I know.
1195
01:15:36,995 --> 01:15:40,999
The one that got away from me.
-Don't flatter yourself.
1196
01:15:41,959 --> 01:15:42,960
He couldn't have me.
1197
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,964
I know your reputation.
23-year-old women are waiting in line.
1198
01:15:46,964 --> 01:15:49,967
If you're trying to sell me something,
I have enough to drink.
1199
01:15:49,967 --> 01:15:51,969
I'm not trying to sell you anything.
1200
01:15:51,969 --> 01:15:53,971
So what are you doing here?
1201
01:15:54,972 --> 01:15:56,974
I'm dating someone.
1202
01:16:03,981 --> 01:16:05,983
Bad day huh?
1203
01:16:05,983 --> 01:16:07,985
The worst in life.
1204
01:16:07,985 --> 01:16:09,987
I should be hanged by the balls
and flog.
1205
01:16:11,989 --> 01:16:13,991
I screwed up.
– What did you do?
1206
01:16:25,961 --> 01:16:28,964
I went to my daughter's
parent meeting.
1207
01:16:30,966 --> 01:16:33,969
I haven't seen her in a long time.
I wrote to her...
1208
01:16:43,979 --> 01:16:45,981
Chuck...
1209
01:16:49,985 --> 01:16:50,986
Sorry.
1210
01:16:54,990 --> 01:16:56,992
are you ok
1211
01:17:11,965 --> 01:17:13,967
What are the possibilities
to run into you?
1212
01:17:13,967 --> 01:17:15,969
This is my worst day.
1213
01:17:17,971 --> 01:17:19,973
And you are like an angel.
1214
01:17:27,981 --> 01:17:30,984
If this is not a sign,
I don't know what it is.
1215
01:17:32,986 --> 01:17:36,990
The two of us.
We're connected, can't you see?
1216
01:17:37,991 --> 01:17:39,993
You know what?
1217
01:17:39,993 --> 01:17:42,996
You're deeper than you seem
Chuck Wepner.
1218
01:17:43,997 --> 01:17:46,959
not too much
but just enough.
1219
01:17:48,961 --> 01:17:50,963
Do you care what I think?
1220
01:17:50,963 --> 01:17:52,965
What?
1221
01:17:54,967 --> 01:17:57,970
That you like me.
- Yes?
1222
01:17:59,972 --> 01:18:01,974
Lots of punches
you got it in your head.
1223
01:18:03,976 --> 01:18:05,978
It's true.
1224
01:18:09,982 --> 01:18:12,985
Shit!
Please don't move.
1225
01:18:12,985 --> 01:18:14,987
Wait here.
1226
01:18:14,987 --> 01:18:16,989
Wait here.
I need to talk to someone.
1227
01:18:26,999 --> 01:18:28,000
Hi Devon.
– Champion.
1228
01:18:28,959 --> 01:18:30,961
Is everything okay?
- Yes, here you go.
1229
01:18:33,964 --> 01:18:35,966
I'm sorry, champion.
1230
01:18:39,970 --> 01:18:41,972
Hi Jimmy.
-Chuck.
1231
01:19:07,998 --> 01:19:08,999
When the devil has the young, doesn't he?
1232
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,961
Trap. They said they would
dropped if I say the name.
1233
01:19:12,961 --> 01:19:17,966
Two ounces, Chuck.
You can go to jail.
1234
01:19:18,967 --> 01:19:22,971
It is not right that someone else
pay for my stupid mistakes.
1235
01:19:24,973 --> 01:19:26,975
Here you go, champion.
1236
01:19:26,975 --> 01:19:30,979
One call.
Make the winning choice.
1237
01:19:38,987 --> 01:19:40,989
Please?
- Hello.
1238
01:19:40,989 --> 01:19:42,991
Chuck!
- How are you?
1239
01:19:42,991 --> 01:19:44,993
where are you
1240
01:19:45,994 --> 01:19:48,997
At the 38th police station.
1241
01:19:49,998 --> 01:19:51,959
Chuck!
– I called you.
1242
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:54,962
I have one call,
I called you.
1243
01:19:55,963 --> 01:19:58,966
You don't have a lawyer or anyone,
who would help you?
1244
01:20:00,968 --> 01:20:02,970
Not at the moment.
1245
01:20:02,970 --> 01:20:04,972
You have to pay the deposit.
1246
01:20:06,974 --> 01:20:08,976
It doesn't matter,
I'm going to jail anyway.
1247
01:20:09,977 --> 01:20:11,979
So you can
at least i'm talking to you.
1248
01:20:12,980 --> 01:20:14,982
And the family?
1249
01:20:15,983 --> 01:20:18,986
I have brothers
but he doesn't care about me.
1250
01:20:20,988 --> 01:20:22,990
Linda.
1251
01:20:22,990 --> 01:20:26,994
I know you don't see yet
but we are connected.
1252
01:20:27,995 --> 01:20:31,999
You're crazy, you know?
-We were born on the same day.
1253
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:34,960
Fats Domino.
Jackie Gleason.
1254
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,964
William Frawley.
All were born on February 26.
1255
01:20:38,964 --> 01:20:41,967
Who is William Frawley?
– What do you mean?
1256
01:20:41,967 --> 01:20:45,971
Fred from I Love Lucy.
–That's something, Chuck.
1257
01:20:45,971 --> 01:20:47,973
Three fat people
and a club boxer.
1258
01:20:47,973 --> 01:20:49,975
What are you talking about?
Club boxer?
1259
01:20:49,975 --> 01:20:52,978
I'm Rocky Balboa!
1260
01:20:52,978 --> 01:20:54,980
You didn't hear
for Bayonne bloody?
1261
01:20:59,985 --> 01:21:03,989
Listen, Chuck,
I can't do that.
1262
01:21:03,989 --> 01:21:06,992
I have to go.
I'm sorry.
1263
01:21:26,970 --> 01:21:28,972
Let's go, champion.
1264
01:21:29,973 --> 01:21:31,975
Someone bailed you out.
1265
01:21:33,977 --> 01:21:37,981
What? - Yes.
You still have fans.
1266
01:21:44,988 --> 01:21:46,990
Don?
– Get in the kid's car, Chuck.
1267
01:22:00,963 --> 01:22:02,965
Possession
with the intention of selling?
1268
01:22:02,965 --> 01:22:05,968
Are you stupid?
– I did the guy a favor.
1269
01:22:05,968 --> 01:22:08,971
Yes? That's why you left
Phyllis and Kimberley?
1270
01:22:09,972 --> 01:22:10,973
To smuggle drugs?
1271
01:22:11,974 --> 01:22:16,979
I had to take out a mortgage on the house,
to get you out. - Why?
1272
01:22:16,979 --> 01:22:20,983
Sorry. I am grateful to you.
– You are not grateful for anything!
1273
01:22:20,983 --> 01:22:23,986
You never were
and you never will. Champion!
1274
01:22:24,987 --> 01:22:26,989
Hi Flo.
- Hi, Chuck.
1275
01:22:27,990 --> 01:22:29,992
Come on, champion!
Get in the car!
1276
01:22:29,992 --> 01:22:31,994
Clinch's champion!
1277
01:22:38,959 --> 01:22:40,961
And don't think I'm doing it
because i love you
1278
01:22:40,961 --> 01:22:43,964
Because I don't have you
selfish bastard.
1279
01:22:43,964 --> 01:22:46,967
I do this because she is our mother,
may he rest in peace
1280
01:22:46,967 --> 01:22:49,970
on her deathbed she said
let me watch over you.
1281
01:22:50,971 --> 01:22:52,973
Do you know why?
Because she knew you were a loser.
1282
01:22:53,974 --> 01:22:54,975
My own mother!
1283
01:22:55,976 --> 01:22:59,980
That makeup outfit, screw it
with whores and now drugs!
1284
01:22:59,980 --> 01:23:03,984
You didn't fool anyone.
Do you understand, Chuck?
1285
01:23:04,985 --> 01:23:05,986
You're right, I'm a loser.
1286
01:23:06,987 --> 01:23:08,989
You're lucky you called her!
I would put you off!
1287
01:23:08,989 --> 01:23:11,992
Right, I understand.
I'm sorry.
1288
01:23:11,992 --> 01:23:12,993
He loves you, Chuck.
1289
01:23:12,993 --> 01:23:15,996
Don't tell him anything!
Don't hug him!
1290
01:23:17,998 --> 01:23:20,000
Thanks for the coconuts, Don.
1291
01:23:20,959 --> 01:23:22,961
I'm still waiting for the thank you note.
1292
01:23:24,963 --> 01:23:26,965
Still following
your career.
1293
01:23:26,965 --> 01:23:28,967
She always has.
1294
01:23:28,967 --> 01:23:30,969
He has a memory book
with all articles,
1295
01:23:31,970 --> 01:23:33,972
where you were at least mentioned.
1296
01:23:35,974 --> 01:23:39,978
You know he made us
to go to your fight with Ali?
1297
01:23:39,978 --> 01:23:41,980
He was so proud of you.
1298
01:23:41,980 --> 01:23:44,983
Every time you waved it,
he was jumping for joy
1299
01:23:44,983 --> 01:23:47,986
and explained to everyone
that you are his brother.
1300
01:23:49,988 --> 01:23:51,990
I didn't know.
1301
01:23:52,991 --> 01:23:54,993
I don't know
what can i say don.
1302
01:23:54,993 --> 01:23:57,996
You have to say something now and then.
1303
01:23:59,998 --> 01:24:01,959
Maybe you'll live longer.
1304
01:24:25,983 --> 01:24:30,988
I have plans. Obligations.
–What responsibilities do you have, Chuck?
1305
01:24:32,990 --> 01:24:34,992
You have people
who love you.
1306
01:24:34,992 --> 01:24:36,994
Real people.
Not because you fight
1307
01:24:36,994 --> 01:24:38,996
because you're famous
or because you entertain them.
1308
01:24:38,996 --> 01:24:40,998
They love you because you
they just love it. Simple.
1309
01:24:41,999 --> 01:24:44,960
All they want from you is you.
1310
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,962
That's when I hit rock bottom.
1311
01:24:46,962 --> 01:24:48,964
Linda said,
that he doesn't want to see me anymore.
1312
01:24:48,964 --> 01:24:49,965
Take care, Chuck.
1313
01:24:50,966 --> 01:24:52,968
I stopped thinking
about the future.
1314
01:24:52,968 --> 01:24:53,969
She was right.
1315
01:24:53,969 --> 01:24:55,971
Where was my wit?
1316
01:24:55,971 --> 01:24:57,973
NORTHERN STATE PRISON
–Why would you mess with me?
1317
01:24:58,974 --> 01:25:00,976
I went to prison,
for God's sake!
1318
01:25:00,976 --> 01:25:03,979
To be honest,
I belonged there.
1319
01:25:11,987 --> 01:25:12,988
Chuck!
1320
01:25:13,989 --> 01:25:14,990
Hey, champion!
1321
01:25:14,990 --> 01:25:16,992
Clinch's Chuck Wepner!
1322
01:25:16,992 --> 01:25:18,994
I'm your fan.
- How are you, Chuck?
1323
01:25:19,995 --> 01:25:21,997
See you, champion.
1324
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:26,960
I probably had to
to land in keha,
1325
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,963
to understand
what a selfish jerk I was.
1326
01:25:34,968 --> 01:25:36,970
But it wasn't that bad.
1327
01:25:36,970 --> 01:25:38,972
I trained
I read a lot.
1328
01:25:39,973 --> 01:25:41,975
Life went on,
outside and inside.
1329
01:25:47,981 --> 01:25:49,983
Phyllis and I did too
official punctuation.
1330
01:25:50,984 --> 01:25:51,985
No offense.
To be honest,
1331
01:25:52,986 --> 01:25:54,988
I'm surprised there isn't one
already done before.
1332
01:25:56,990 --> 01:25:57,991
I'm opening!
1333
01:26:04,998 --> 01:26:07,960
Hey, champion!
how are you
1334
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,962
Good, warden.
What is it?
1335
01:26:09,962 --> 01:26:12,965
Someone wants to see you.
- Yes? Who?
1336
01:26:13,966 --> 01:26:15,968
You will find out.
1337
01:26:23,976 --> 01:26:24,977
Where are we going?
1338
01:26:30,983 --> 01:26:32,985
Then one day,
1339
01:26:32,985 --> 01:26:34,987
someday,
1340
01:26:34,987 --> 01:26:36,989
all the pieces placed
to its place.
1341
01:26:41,994 --> 01:26:43,996
Are you kidding me?
1342
01:26:43,996 --> 01:26:45,998
It's the address
Under the key.
1343
01:26:48,959 --> 01:26:50,961
Rocky goes to jail.
1344
01:26:51,962 --> 01:26:53,964
Why did I try so hard
to be this guy?
1345
01:26:54,965 --> 01:26:56,967
He's just a character in a movie.
1346
01:26:56,967 --> 01:26:58,969
I'll take you to him.
You can greet him.
1347
01:27:00,971 --> 01:27:02,973
I'd rather not.
1348
01:27:03,974 --> 01:27:05,976
He knows you're here.
He wants to see you.
1349
01:27:07,978 --> 01:27:09,980
You don't have to.
1350
01:27:10,981 --> 01:27:13,984
Linda was right.
Real people loved me,
1351
01:27:13,984 --> 01:27:16,987
my brother, Phyllis,
my daughter Kimberly.
1352
01:27:16,987 --> 01:27:19,990
I wrote letters to Kimberley,
so that she knows how much Imiss her
1353
01:27:19,990 --> 01:27:21,992
and that I'm sorry.
It was good.
1354
01:27:21,992 --> 01:27:23,994
Our relationship has improved.
1355
01:27:23,994 --> 01:27:26,997
I also wrote to Linda,
but she didn't answer me.
1356
01:27:35,964 --> 01:27:37,966
In the end I served
26 months
1357
01:27:38,967 --> 01:27:40,969
from five years
due to exemplary behavior.
1358
01:27:40,969 --> 01:27:42,971
It could be worse.
1359
01:27:43,972 --> 01:27:46,975
Listen, miracles
they don't happen overnight.
1360
01:27:46,975 --> 01:27:50,979
You can't crawl out of the manure and immediately
spread wings like in the movie.
1361
01:27:50,979 --> 01:27:52,981
I kind of had to
make money.
1362
01:27:52,981 --> 01:27:55,984
My friend Arty Stock
has prepared a charity match.
1363
01:27:56,985 --> 01:27:58,987
For legends.
–So that I can earn something.
1364
01:27:58,987 --> 01:27:59,988
And I landed.
1365
01:28:04,993 --> 01:28:06,995
What should I do?
1366
01:28:23,971 --> 01:28:26,974
Now look at this.
This part is really like in a movie.
1367
01:28:27,975 --> 01:28:29,977
Because from this shame,
humiliating, miserable
1368
01:28:29,977 --> 01:28:33,981
and the terrible circus,
into which I wandered again,
1369
01:28:34,982 --> 01:28:36,984
because it suddenly became...
1370
01:28:37,985 --> 01:28:39,987
Hello, champion.
1371
01:28:39,987 --> 01:28:41,989
Christ!
1372
01:28:44,992 --> 01:28:45,993
What are you doing here?
1373
01:28:46,994 --> 01:28:48,996
It's Saturday night
and I don't have a smarter job.
1374
01:28:48,996 --> 01:28:51,999
And I came to watch
how the bear will tear you apart.
1375
01:28:53,959 --> 01:28:56,962
This is not just any bear.
Vic was in a movie with Eastwood.
1376
01:28:56,962 --> 01:28:58,964
Bless him.

01:28:58,964 --> 01:29:01,967
Unbelievable. – Undefeated!
– Including tonight.
1378
01:29:06,972 --> 01:29:08,974
I mean he's famous.
1379
01:29:08,974 --> 01:29:11,977
Yes.
Look where he landed.
1380
01:29:12,978 --> 01:29:14,980
I'm sorry,
I didn't come to weigh you down.
1381
01:29:22,988 --> 01:29:23,989
And…
1382
01:29:25,991 --> 01:29:28,994
I heard you got divorced.
1383
01:29:31,997 --> 01:29:33,999
Yes? - Yes.
1384
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:40,964
Where did you hear that?
– I got your letters.
1385
01:29:45,969 --> 01:29:47,971
Did you get my letters?
1386
01:29:47,971 --> 01:29:49,973
And it didn't occur to you
to write me off?
1387
01:29:49,973 --> 01:29:52,976
It all depends
from the right moment.
1388
01:30:09,993 --> 01:30:10,994
Yes?
1389
01:30:15,999 --> 01:30:17,960
It's wonderful.
1390
01:30:22,965 --> 01:30:24,967
Dear God!
1391
01:30:27,970 --> 01:30:29,972
Good.
Can we go home now?
1392
01:30:30,973 --> 01:30:32,975
What's wrong with you?
I want to take a photo.
1393
01:30:32,975 --> 01:30:35,978
Are you kidding me? I'm going to throw up.
-Stop it!
1394
01:30:36,979 --> 01:30:38,981
Come on!
Don't cut my head off.
1395
01:30:38,981 --> 01:30:40,983
I would do you a favor.
1396
01:30:43,986 --> 01:30:45,988
look at him
like she's your girlfriend.
1397
01:30:45,988 --> 01:30:47,990
Take pictures already!
1398
01:30:50,993 --> 01:30:52,995
Seriously, Chuck.
What did you get with that?
1399
01:30:53,996 --> 01:30:56,999
You. - Lucky guy.
– Show me.
1400
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,961
Come on! Admit it is
the boy in the picture is handsome.
1401
01:31:01,962 --> 01:31:04,965
You're not that bad either.
1402
01:31:06,967 --> 01:31:08,969
You know what I'm going to do now?
- What?
1403
01:31:09,970 --> 01:31:11,972
I will kiss you.
– Was that a warning?
1404
01:31:11,972 --> 01:31:14,975
Yes, I'll kiss you right now.
Next I will...
1405
01:31:14,975 --> 01:31:16,977
lean left
1406
01:31:16,977 --> 01:31:17,978
and to the right.
1407
01:31:17,978 --> 01:31:19,980
Boom!
1408
01:31:28,989 --> 01:31:32,993
I love you, girl.
- I love you. - Yes?
1409
01:31:33,994 --> 01:31:35,996
Good.
1410
01:31:36,997 --> 01:31:37,998
Let's go away.
1411
01:31:38,999 --> 01:31:40,959
Nice, isn't it?
1412
01:31:40,959 --> 01:31:42,961
That's what they call a happy ending.
1413
01:31:43,962 --> 01:31:46,965
Who would say?
Not me, not even under miscellaneous.
1414
01:31:47,966 --> 01:31:51,970
You know, life is sometimes
really like a movie.
1415
01:31:52,971 --> 01:31:54,973
Sometimes it's even better.
1416
01:32:08,987 --> 01:32:12,991
Chuck and Linda are still alive
in Bayonne, New Jersey.
1417
01:32:13,992 --> 01:32:18,997
They both deliver drinks.
1418
01:32:19,998 --> 01:32:23,961
Chuck and Kimberley got married
they talk and talk to each other every day.
