![]() I don't think there's an emotion or a situation a boxer could face that Sly hasn't covered - and covered convincingly. Boxers are the roughest and toughest of people but they're still human with the same feelings and vulnerabilities as everyone else & I think Stallone deserves MEGA respect for the compassion and understanding which shines through all 5 of the Rocky series. Forget his voice (which CAN be irritating at times), Sylvester Stallone has the sharpest mind in Hollywood and he's highly accomplished in every field of movie-making. I thought it was great!! Ok, I did have the advantage of seeing it on tv last night just after Van Damme's DREADFUL "A.W.O.L" but i still reckon Rocky 5 is a gem of a movie. I'm absolutely amazed at the awful reviews people have given this film. Additionally, the Director's Cut has a completely different edit of the street fight, with new music, and also includes the Mickey hallucination scene. There are also a number of deleted scenes in the film, including a scene of Rocky getting drunk at the bar prior to visiting Mighty Mick's Boxing, and a scene where Rocky meets Marie from Rocky (1976) to find that she is a prostitute and has just become homeless. Several scenes are edited differently in the Director's Cut, and often with different dialogue. Additionally, the music throughout the film is decidedly different then that used in the final version of the film in particular, there is a lot more Bill Conti music rather than the songs used in the theatrical cut (although Michael Bolton's "When I'm Back On My Feet Again" plays in this cut when Rocky visits Mighty Mick's). In this version, the opening credits are completely different, with different music. Avildsen released a work-print version of the film online, under the title "Rocky V: Director's Cut". It's gonna say, 'Get up you son of a bitch 'cause Mickey loves you'. Huh? And now I'm givin' it to you and it, it's gotta be like a, like an angel on your shoulder see? If you ever get hurt and you feel that you're goin' down this little angel is gonna whisper in your ear. Mickey: See that? This is the favorite thing that I have on this Earth. Mickey: No, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. Rocky Balboa: Ah, Mick you don't have to. 'Cause when I leave you you'll not only know how to fight, you'll be able to take care of yourself outside the ring too, is that okay? Mickey: and I'll never leave you until that happens. And I'm gonna stay alive and I will watch you make good. We keep losin' and losin' till we say you know, 'Oh what the hell am I livin' around here for? I got not reason to go on.' But with you kid, boy, I got a reason to go on. Little by little we lose our friends, we lose everything. Mickey: And nature is smarter than people think. Rocky Balboa: Nature's smarter than people think. The fact that you're here and doin' as well as you're doin' gives me-what do you call it-motivization? Huh? To stay alive, 'cause I think that people die sometimes when they don't wanna live no more. ![]() Well, if you wasn't here I probably wouldn't be alive today. You know kid, I know how you feel about this fight that's comin' up. You're gonna roll over him like a bulldozer, an Italian bulldozer. My God, you're ready ain't ya? That Apollo won't know what hit him.
