#ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH BEFORE GETTING IN RING SERIES#
Sly said in the doc that he got a lot of shit for changing the tone of the series with the fourth film and that some critics called it a “90-minute music video” because of all the montages set to songs, quick cuts, short scenes, and nearly frantic pace. When I was a kid, I thought of the first two Rockys as the more boring, more grown-up movies, whereas Rocky III (1982) and especially Rocky IV were new and more contemporary. Stallone sees it as a project that he didn’t quite get right in retrospect, but for fans, it was a Rocky for the 1980s. The original Rocky IV does stand out from the rest, and that’s partly why it’s been such a fan favorite all these years. Drago? In the doc, he says he wanted to remake it into a drama, like the other Rocky movies. So what was Stallone trying to accomplish with this entirely new version of the film, laboriously titled Rocky IV: Rocky vs. The second half feels much more fluid and natural, mostly because it’s still two awesome montages followed by the big fight at the end. The first act is a bit rough and choppy in places because of a lack of adequate transitions. In the finished product, you can see where compromises were made.

Stallone said they shot about 1 million feet of film for the fight scenes alone. And now, I completely see the fallibility in all that, and it’s very frustrating.”ĭigitally re-editing a movie that was shot on film 35 years ago is no easy feat, especially when you consider how much footage there was to work with. I was always very cognizant of, ‘Okay, the audience is going to get bored, jump ahead,’ instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt and let the emotions sink in, I would rush right through it. I think my biggest problem as a younger filmmaker was a lack of patience and confidence in extending the moment. “Obviously, I’m a lot older, and I’ve been through a lot of wear and tear emotionally, and you understand the human condition. “It was too superficial,” Stallone says in the doc. This documentary reveals Sylvester Stallone’s editing process and his motivations for creating the Rocky 4 director’s cut after 35 years. In an intimate, rudimentary documentary filmed by Stallone’s longtime friend and fellow director John Herzfeld about the making of this new cut of Rocky IV, Stallone revealed he now views the original film, which he wrote, starred in, and directed, as being a vanity project that was too superficial and that doesn’t fit with the dramatic tone of the other films in the series, especially since the events of Rocky IV are now so closely tied to the two Creed movies. You could list the scenes that were unchanged more easily than listing the changes.
He changed the whole feel of the movie, the tone, even the color palette and the score (don’t worry, the songs are still there, including Hearts on Fire). There isn’t one scene in Rocky IV that Stallone didn’t tweak in some way. But more often than not, they are underwhelming. Sometimes these changes make a big difference such is the case with James Cameron’s director’s cut of Aliens (1986). Usually, there are a few changes here and there, a different take, a slightly different ending, and maybe a subplot that was excised to cut runtime is reintroduced. We’ve all seen director’s cuts of movies before, and Stallone is no stranger to them. RELATED: Remington 870 Shotgun – 5 Most Badass Movie Moments The official trailer for the Rocky 4 director’s cut.
