In Rocky . Especially the love romantic parts . Fair play to him though ,he has god taste and Rocky turned out good.
shareI believe it was Roger Ebert, a man whom I have great respect for as a film reviewer, who declared Sly the next Brando after he saw Rocky.
That’s a very interesting mixture of poetry and meanness.
A lot of Rocky was actually based on the true story of an amateur boxer who got to fight a charity bout with Mohammed Ali, and did a lot better than people were expecting.

Yeah, that fighter was Chuck Wepner and "Rocky" borrows a lot of his story. The romance in "Rocky" owes a great deal to the movie "Marty". I didn't recognize any particular influence of "On the Waterfront" in "Rocky".

Sly certainly did borrow a lot from Brando's performance here.
Its that man again!!
I was thinking that too. But then how many other movies feature a tough guy who stumbles when trying to be romantic?

A dope trailer is no place for a kitty.
They are both wonderful movies. One wishes that Stallone hadn't felt the need to continue Rocky's saga. I didn't need to now what happened to the character after the movie. When it comes to On The Waterfront I decided to read the book. It's excellent and very realistic and let's us know what would have happened to Terry. Spoiler warning: John Friendly orders Terry's execution and his body is found in a container, stabbed numerous times. I wish I hadn't read it but, luckily, I'm able to separate the film and the book, at least while I'm watching it.
