Rocky Balboa 2006.

[candelabra]

В интервью Джонатана Росса в 2006 году Сталлоне дал оценку по десятибалльной шкале каждому фильму из боксерской саги.
Он да первой части 10 баллов, второй 7 - и тут ведущий назвал его весьма щедрым, это точно. Третью он как и я очень любит и потому поставил 9-точку.
Вот четвертой он дал 7, ну на балл выше моей оценки; пятой дал вообще ноль, тут я не согласна, ибо семейные моменты в этой части были ну очень хорошими.
И здесь же он сказал, что именно поэтому он решил снять еще один фильм, чтобы закончить с честью закончить сагу о Рокки Бальбоа.
Ну, тут я конечно наверное соглашусь. Но на мой взгляд, фильмы о Рокки должны были остаться в 70-90х. Вот если бы он снял фильм как и хотел в 1999, то еще может быть ...
Потому перерыв между всеми другими частями был не больше 5 лет, а тут разница 16 лет. Поэтому для меня это все смотрелось немного грустным.
Да и вообще многие кто причастен к созданию фильму вели себя корыстно, и мне было грустно читать об этом.

Я бы вообще сделала так - вторую часть бы не снимала вообще.
Там не было ничего нового, кроме свадьбы Эдриан и Рокки. Третью сделала бы второй соответственно.
Вот насчет сюжетов 4 и 5 части думаю. Ну скорее всего я бы оставила сюжет 4 части, но убрала бы Россию.
И сюжет объединила бы сюжет 5 и 6 части воедино, но убрала бы часть про возвращение Рокки на ринг. Вот.

В последней части было много трогательных моментов, опять же семейных, флешбеков, некоторые очень растрогали.
Прогулки по былым местам. Всё это сделано очень хорошо и со вкусом, и ностальгия действительно на тебя действует.
Всё потому, что персонаж культовый, и я, как многие другие, его также сильно полюбила.

During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out.
Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup.
As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor,
whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd.
Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began to chant 'ROCKY, ROCKY'.
The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters.

According to Sylvester Stallone in his DVD Commentary, he did consider having his real-life son Sage Stallone reprise the role of Robert "Rocky" Jr. which he had played in Rocky V,
but he decided against it because he feared people would read too much into the personal conflict between Rocky and Robert regarding Robert's belief that he is "living in his father's shadow".

In his DVD commentary, Sylvester Stallone explains that some of Rocky's dialog with Marie (Geraldine Hughes) was improvised on-set.
For example, for the scene where he installs the light bulb, Stallone had no idea the bulb would be so bright, and his reaction to the glare is completely genuine.
The line to Marie about meetings Steps' father on a cruise ship was another improvised line, as was his observation that he's a better dancer then the average bear.
Stallone was so surprised with himself for coming up with this comparison, that his next line, "Where that came from, I don't know", was also improvised.

Although it is not included as a deleted scene on the DVD, Sylvester Stallone has said that a scene was filmed in which Rocky sees a woman that looks like Adrian in the building where Robert Jr. works.
He follows her for a while before he realizes it is not Adrian. Stallone decided to cut the scene because he felt that Rocky's loneliness had already been established enough, and that this scene was overkill.

Sylvester Stallone was actually knocked unconscious while filming the final fight scene.

The film contains flashbacks from every Rocky film except Rocky V.

Pedro Lovell reprises his role as Spider Rico, the boxer defeated by Rocky in the opening scene of Rocky.

According to Stallone, Carl Weathers does not appear in the film because Weathers wanted a role in the film, even though his character Apollo Creed had died in ROCKY IV;
Stallone refused, so Weathers refused to grant Stallone permission to use archive footage of him.
The brief clip of the fight between Rocky and Apollo was recreated using a body double.

According to Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Tarver held up filming of the fight scene and demanded a higher salary.
He refused to start filming until he was guaranteed more money. Stallone gave up a large part of his own salary and paid it to Tarver.

In the DVD commentary for his film First Blood Sylvester Stallone recalls an incident during filming where a girl in the town bar pretended to be a fan of his in order to try
and wheedle a free round of drinks out of him. He later includes just such a scene in 'Rocky Balboa'.

The paintings made by Paulie in the film were actually done by Burt Young, himself an avid painter.

The computer simulation fight was based on The Super Fight which pitted Muhammad Ali against Rocky Marciano.
Every possible scenario was considered and filmed and the computer decided that Marciano would win in the 13th round.
When told of the result, Ali retorted "that computer was made in Alabama".

The computer fight was shot with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Tarver wearing motion capturing outfits.
