Adrian is the epitome of behind every good man is a good woman. One of the best movie couples ever.

[metalgrinch]

This here. THIS is filmmaking. THIS is directing. One of the greatest dialogues ever put to film.

That "I'm afraid" always hits cause you can tell he really meant it.

[allanvidaurre]

“ Apollo thinks you can do it “
Such a true friend to believe in him and train him even after being rivals, brothers backing each other up .

[HouseDShow]

"At least you lose with no excuses "

[eds.]

Adrian's development during the films is amazing.

I love Adrian. She cuts right to the heart. When a man has the right woman by his side, who believes in him, he’s unstoppable.

"If it's over because you want it to be over, I'm glad"
That's a really good line that really encapsulates their relationship.

I was in nursing school and have reached a breaking point several times due to how difficult it was. Everytime I got to that point I would come to this video as a way of mentoring myself to do better. I was always afraid of failing a class, about what other would think of me for failing a class, about losing some time or opportunities in my life. But what this video displays is that it's normal to be afraid of those things. But ultimately what matters more than anything else is that regardless of the outcome whether you fail or pass, you put your heart into the effort. That you tried your absolute best and if it doesnt go your way, you were able to face your fear of failure. That is COURAGE. I have now graduated nursing school in 5 semesters and passed the NCLEX on the very first try. I am awaiting a commission into the U.S. Air Force as an RN. You do not need to be a boxer or an athlete to be motivated by something like this because this can apply to anything in life.

This is my all-time favorite Rocky and Adrian moment.

I know exactly how Rocky feels in this scene. When fear totally consumes you. And, you are too afraid to fight back. I deal with this situation every single day battling my depression, anxiety, and panic attacks

[blahblah]

I think most men would love a wife like this at their side

[chadchesney]

Nope never gets old. I’ve had it memorized for as long as I can remember. This scene and the scene with Mick, “You got civilized”, are what made Rocky 3 so special. A real character study.

[jasonlee]

What a talent Talia was. Same as Weathers. Their scenes were so authentic and so passionate it was as if they were talking directly to Stallone the person and audience. Not to just some character.

[kingstrat]

I hope EVERYONE finds their Adrian in life we all need one 💜

[CJCrump]

Adrian pushed Rocky to win his title back.

[Lasurius]

"Because when all the smoke is cleared and everyone is through chanting your name, it's just gonna be us! And you can't live like this! We can't live like this!"

[Agent-czrj]

Talia Shire is a good Actress she should’ve had more roles like this after Rocky V - Great Actress.

[LLCFDS]

This scene binds the whole movie together. I forgot how great this scene is.

[InAMinMaths]

Best scene in the film. Reminds me of my wife.
