The scene from Rocky 2 where the children run behind Rocky always gets tears in my eyes... Truly inspiring

@SublineYT

Rocky 3's training montage will forever be my favorite, seeing him train with Apollo is just the best.

@BUnspoken

Rocky IV training will always be my favorite. He has no weights, no treadmill. It's all body weight or using anything that's available to him,  even running through the snow. It's all heart.

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

I’m 63 and still train. Whenever I’m sore and exhausted and want to stop I think of the sequence with log in the park from Rocky II…..that keeps me going.

I’m turning 56 this month. I still work out, every day, no exceptions. The first time I completed a 10 mile run, several years ago, I raised my hands and yelled “dra-goooo!”… I can’t pick a favorite of these though… love them all….

Rocky got me in the gym as a teenage boy, almost 30 years later, he's still getting me in there. Adrien telling him "win" in Rocky II, Apollo telling him "there is no tomorrow" in Rocky III, and his unforgetable speech to his son in Rocky Balboa, these will always pull me out of a bind.

RIP Carl Weathers, thanks for your unforgettable performances as The Count Of Monte Fisto, Dancing Destroyer, King Of Sting, Master Of Disaster, Prince Of Punch, Thane Of Pain, One And Only Apollo Creed. A true champion of the world

@lawrencebenjamin502

...The tears started flowing again. Beautifully epic !!

@ElderGod29

Those kids running behind him, Carl and Sylvester, and the Rocky Drago training montage.... Will never ever experience any other movie series like this!

@ThisLifeisaParade

Rocky II with kids - Signifying that this time he wasn't alone; the whole city was rootin' for him.

@kenthefele113

Little did Stallone know how iconic the first training montage would become.

@Bourbonguy-jo3st

When Adrian says “There’s one thing I want you to do for me: Win!” And the music starts after that line, I get goosebumps every time!

@skeltonpitts7121

The fact that Rocky 1 is basically an independent film that turned sly into a star...

@maaniekgupta2787

The only video that helps the world not fall into depression.
Thank you Stallone for sharing your story of Rocky with us.

@waynegrant4070

I love the solemnity and solitude you could feel from the first montage. Feels like one guy against the world, with few help from friends here and there. But mostly, he's the focus

@Outlawbat821

Rocky is the reason why I love working out

@rangojackson3798

This series got me introduced into boxing at a young age.

Currently 8-1 as a pro boxer and even though I'm not famous it's always soul touching watching these movies knowing how much it inspired me to follow this path

@mviki91

Remember the first time watching  a Rocky training scene. I was around 12. Loved it, but still preferred being a lazy bum. Then, one fine day when I was 26,  watched  it again,  reeling from  a profound hangover feom the night before. Began with hitting the gym for the first time ever. 4 years later - a serious lifter! Thanks, Stallone pal!

@thomasdequincey5811

The first one, when Rocky's climbing the steps - goosebumps everytime.
