![]() There’s still some stuff in the basement. The third is a very emotional speech he gives to his son, a kid we first saw as a baby in Rocky II in 1979, and we’ve since seen him grow up in the next four Rocky movies to be an adult who is somewhat embarrassed by his father.Īnyways, enough from me and more from the man himself. The second is a rousing speech he gives to the boxing commission about every person’s right to happiness. The basement/beast is mentioned on four separate occasions in the movie, all of which are transcribed below. The first is Rocky talking to his brother in law Paulie about how there is a ‘beast’ still deep inside him that he needs to deal with, ‘stuff in the basement’ as he puts it. As one critic puts it, when talking about the first Rocky movie, “Rocky may have had a larger impact on pop culture than any other film, inspiring references in everything from movies to television, music to video games.”Īnyway, back to the speeches…there are three great speeches from the movie Rocky Balboa… Rocky is not only a fighter, but he’s also a husband, a father, a patriot, and in Rocky IV (1985) he seems to single-handedly have brought about the demise of Communism. Rocky is not only an underdog story, but it’s also a love story. As a result he moves from being this down-and-out bum to being the heavyweight champ who ends up fighting wars in the ring with the likes of: Apollo Creed (twice), Clubber Lang (twice), Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, and finally Mason Dixon. Rocky, as we all now know, is a Philadelphian who takes this miraculous one-in-a-million title shot. As long as you’re talking, you’re not listening.I seem to be having a bit of a Stallone week: the Rocky movies have been on Sky Movies (again!), a few days ago I blogged about Rambo, I’ve now seen several times an advert for bread on TV starring the man himself and, finally, a close friend reminded me of some great motivational speeches from the movie Rocky Balboa (2006), the sixth and last movie in the momentous Rocky saga which began 30 years ago with the Academy Award winning Rocky (1976). I guess what I’m trying to say is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!” ~ Rocky Balboa In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that’s better than twenty million. ![]() During this fight, I’ve seen a lot of changing: the way you felt about me, and in the way I felt about you. I seen a lot of people hate me and I didn’t know what to feel about that, so I guess they didn’t like much nothin’ either. “I came here tonight, I didn’t know what to expect.“The older I get the more things I gotta leave behind – that’s life.” ~ Rocky Balboa.Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up.You gotta think like you think.” ~ Rocky Balboa ![]() “I stopped thinking the way other people think a long time ago.“If you stop this fight I’ll kill you.” ~ Rocky Balboa.“Every once in a while a person comes along who defies the odds, who defies logic, and fulfills an incredible dream.” ~Rocky Balboa.But I succeed because I keep going and going and going.” ~ Rocky Balboa “I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world.The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.
