Memorable Moments in Movies: Rocky IV Training Montage is the One

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZA6mvMXxBQ

Just the other day I got caught up in a Rocky marathon on television.  And while I like them all (yes even Rocky V and Rocky Balboa) I’ll never really be able to definitely say what my favorite one is.  However, when it comes to training scenes I would have to say that Rocky IV is hands down the best and I don’t think it’s even close.

Well, I guess you can’t beat Apollo and Rocky frolicking in the beach in Rocky III but come on.   The song “Hearts on Fire” combined with Russia combined with Drago?  It’s amazing.

  1. I agree wholeheartedly that this is the best of all of the training montages. I still get chills when Rocky climbs to the top of the mountain and yells, “DRAGOOOO!!!!” I am happy to see these films get some of the respect they deserve. I do not think there is nothing more inspirational than the Rocky theme music. I was born and bred in South Philadelphia, and in my opinion the Broad Street Bullies and Rocky put us on the map. I was actually there during the filming of the stick-ball scene in Rocky II and getting to see Stallone emerge from his trailer is one of my fondest memories to this day.
