Rocky V

Ladies and gentlemen...

We're in Moscow in the Soviet Union,

and this promises to be the most watched event in boxing history.

I must break you.

Throw your right!

He just will not let him out of that corner.

Rocky!

Rocky Balboa is in serious trouble.

He's getting killed out there.

Drago continuing to punish Rocky Balboa.

No pain! No pain.

No pain! No pain.

Rocky's been hit with bombs.

Rocky's hurt!

Right hand from Drago sends Rocky Balboa 15 feet across the ring.

And his head's down.

Come on, get up!

It's been a one-sided fight so far.

And Drago throws a hard right hand that stuns Rocky Balboa.

They might have to stop this one before somebody gets killed.

Rocky taking punishment. He is completely exhausted.

And Balboa goes down again from a right hand.

Taking punch after punch.

Amazing willpower.

Rocky Balboa's taking Ivan Drago's best punches so far.

He's cut and he's bleeding.

All right, what's happening out there?

I see three of him out there.

Hit the one in the middle. Right!

Hit the one in the middle.

The Russian's cut!

Hit him!

Whoa! Get him! Yeah! Go!

Hits the ground like a wrestler.

It's a gutter war!

No holds barred in Moscow.

All your strength, all your power, everything you've got!

Now, this is your whole life here.

And a big right hand by Rocky Balboa!

Rocky Balboa has done the impossible!

Yeah!

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Man. I never saw nothing like it!

Came through like the champ you are.

You did yourself and everybody proud, especially Apollo.

Yo, Tony.

Yeah, what is it, baby? What do you need?

Get Adrian.

Rocky?

How's everybody doing out there?

Everybody... Everything's okay.

What's wrong?

Remember when Mick said when he was fighting,

sometimes he'd fight so hard that he was thinking that

he broke something inside, and he was gonna die,

and that's what he said, that's when the angels was pulling on him.

Rocky, you're scaring me. I don't know...

What's wrong?

Adrian, I can't...

Can't what?

I can't stop my hands from shaking.

I never felt this thing.

You gotta see a doctor.

No, I... Right away. Yeah!

No, I just wanna go home. No.

No. You can see a doctor.

I'm just tired.

I just wanna go home, Mick.

And I'm just tired. I just...

Okay.

I just... I just wanna go home, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Adrian, where's the kid?

I don't know.

I don't see the kid. Where's the kid? Ain't he here?

Dad! Dad!

There he is! There he is!

Hey, slugger, how you doing?

Say hi to your mom over there. Hi, Mom!

Then I'm forgotten now?

Hi, Uncle Paulie. Dad, how you feeling?

Well, I got a few new dents. How you doing in school?

I made the honor roll. You're beautiful! Home team!

Hi, I'm Sheila Downes, airport security. Hi.

Welcome home. If you'll follow me

there's a press reception inside.

Rocky, how did you feel about the Russian people in general?

You know, it was very good. They was great people.

I mean, I didn't understand what they was speaking all the time,

but I think I understood what they was meaning, you know?

Mrs. Balboa, did you learn any Russian?

Did I learn...

Yeah, yeah, she got fluent in vodka.

Hey, yo, Paulie...

Paulie.

Rocky, there are rumors of physical complications after the fight.

Complications?

No, no, those were rumors.

He's in perfect physical condition.

Rocky. Rocky, a question.

Recently the American Medical Association recommended

that boxing be banned.

Yeah?

Do you agree with the doctors?

Yeah, you know, absolutely.

I think that doctors should never fight. No.

That was a beautiful answer, champ. That's right.

Doctors should stay out of the ring.

Doctors should never fight.

They should stay out of the ring forever.

Rocky Balboa, the funniest champion ever.

America's own Rocky Balboa. How are ya? How are ya?

George Washington Duke here,

promoter extraordinaire, welcoming back Rocky Balboa,

champion of all the Americans and all of the Russians.

Now, I would like to digress from the questions a bit

and pose an interesting proposition to the media.

Everyone in this city, certainly in the world of sports,

knows my reputation for promoting

some of the finest extravaganzas...

I... What...

...in this country.

Well now, with the press present,

I'd like to ask you, Rocky Balboa...

Yeah?

...to be the flamboyant, rambunctious sportsman we know you can be,

and give this man here, Union Cane,

a chance to challenge you for the heavyweight championship of the world.

Balboa, I want the opportunity to take what you got.

Isn't this bad timing to present a challenger, Duke?

The man just got off the plane.

Timing is the essence of life, gentlemen and ladies.

Now, what I have on this paper is the largest guarantee

ever offered to a champion on this planet!

I'm talking about a fantastic international extravaganza,

to be held in Japan, called "Letting It Go in Tokyo. "

People, ain't it incredible that only in America

could people like us rise from oppression,

rise from poverty, to join hands in this international event?

Only in America!

Excuse me!

Excuse me. My husband is retired.

He has nothing... He has nothing more to prove.

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Hey, Rocky, don't you consider this a public responsibility

to respond now rather than later?

Respond to the people.

I mean, isn't this a question of professionalism?

To talk about it now, not later.

Mind if I heal first?

The whipping you got ain't nothing like what I got here for you.

So, what in the hell does this all mean?

No, that isn't enough. We gotta hear about this now.

Gotta think about that. So, anyway,

I wanna tell everybody that the flight over was really nice.

Come on, guys. We need more!

Adrian, you know, if you weren't with me,

I never would have done as good.

You're my Adrian... You're always there, you know?

And my kid, having you is like being born all over again.

Come on, what do you say? Are you gonna retire or not?

Anyway, I'd like... Excuse me. I'd like to go home now.

Are you gonna give us something to write?

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. REPORTER: What do you say?

No.

Don't worry. You'll get him. You'll get him.

I know. Really, it's great.

Yo, look at this place.

I swear, I ain't never leaving this place again,

you know that?

I swear... Hey, would you like to dance?

How about a homecoming dance with your old man?

No, don't be silly. It's cold.

Come on. I'll warm you up, young lady.

Come on, have a dance. Hurry up, the music's almost over.

Do you like the song?

You should rest.

Yeah, I know. I'm tired. Come on.

Yeah? Well, maybe I'll take you upstairs

and violate you like a parking meter.

It'll cost you a quarter.

Yo, Adrian!

Where'd you learn to talk dirty like that?

Hey, Uncle Paulie, you notice something strange about Dad?

He just took a few hard shots.

I think you tell better jokes than me, Adrian.

Yo, did I hear somebody call for their old man?

Did you do this?

Hey, it's sleep time, kid, okay?

Dad, did you know that your bones grow three times as fast

during the night?

No, I didn't know that, but I heard something like that once.

Is that me? Excellent!

Yeah, that's you.

Now, is that me? Yeah.

When we was fishing, right? Yeah, that's when...

That's beautiful. Look at the tent.

You know, the fish was a lot bigger, if I recall.
