ROCKY 2 Facts You Didn't Know! #shorts

Did you know this in Rocky 2? During Rocky and Apollo's iconic rematch, Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers are seen pushing and taunting each other, ultimately being pulled apart by their respective cornermen. They continued to taunt each other before returning to their corners. This might come as a surprise, as Stallone later revealed that they were actually angry with each other and were not acting at that point. Several blows that were supposed to miss him actually landed, and the carefully choreographed fight, which they spent months meticulously planning out, went off course during that scene. Stallone, however, enjoyed the reaction the scene elicited. He chose to leave their momentary breaking of character in, and the viewing audience was unaware that the two actors were, in reality, quite livid with each other. They probably said "What great acting! It almost looks so real!". #shorts #rocky #didyouknow #moviefacts #moviedetails #sylvesterstallone

The best actors can stay in character even when they break character.

Stallone had his ribs broken by Carl Weathers. Stallone wanted Ali for part which stated no thanks. See the greatest

Stallone doesn't get enough credit for how talented he is. Incredible writer, sensible actor.

[BigBoss-ziss]

Stallone is the type of guy to anger someone during a fight seen so they break character and throw real punches just to get a better shot for the scene

Too bad Stallone didn't make Carl an Expendable.

And Dolph aka Drago sent him to hospital for real

[AnthonySmith-grpf]

They're still friends to this day.

While filming Rocky 4 Stallone convinced Dolph to box him for real for 30 seconds. The result was Stallone spending days in the ICU from an almost lethal blow to the ribs/chest.💀

And that’s the reason why the Rocky series are eternal

[adriand]

The best choice was to choose Carl as Apollo! Made the movie a legend

[vaatlagaadungaa]

Rocky 2 was the best movie in the franchise.

[fletchdavidson]

All Weathers only got one action lead role but he's been so great in so many action movies.

[fletchdavidson]

How many times did Stallone almost die making Rocky movies? It was wild.

[princelevi]

Hearing this makes me love the movie even more.

[edwardcerrano]

[michaelc]

Could you imagine those blows in a real boxing match? That would be a hell of a fight

[robertdaniels-lane]

This is exactly why I love the Rocky series!

[ChipLooper]

It actually made the fight look real!

[ClashesYt]

Rip Carl he will be missed

Can I get a rip Carl in the chat

They're such great actors. Actor excellence because they were in such character when they got into it for real and still looked it like a movie script to iconic actors. Carl weathers is greatly underrated and we already know Sly is the man
