I know it's coming, I prepare myself, but without fail when that third-rate fighter does the unthinkable and goes the distance with the champ, and all he can think about is his mousy girlfriend who's running through the crowd toward him as he screams her name, and they embrace--my tears start streaming. I'm always struck by how a scene in a movie, and admittedly not a terribly original one, can evoke that kind of emotional response. Love it.
shareWhat troubled me about the ending was that Adrian loses her hat and doesn't even go back for it
shareYeah, me too and its primarily because of Bill Conti's phenomenal soundtrack.
shareYes, it's a tremendous ending. I've rewatched this movie many times and one thing I keep thinking about watching Rocky pummel Apollo at the end is how far his life has come in a fairly short period of time and how his life will never be the same again. Winning/losing the fight didn't really matter so much...he was winning at life.
shareAgree, gets me every time and rocky being rocky just saying 'where's your hat' right after the fight of his life. then she just says " I Love you' just brilliant one of the greatest endings of all time
