Rockys achievement is monumental and it is one of the greatest films ever made. Theyre both great films, and Im not saying that Taxi Driver shouldnt have won but Im not necessarily saying it should have, either.
Now, Taxi Driver is usually considered the superior of the two but theyre entirely different and, in my opinion (and its a rare one), Rocky is just as good but in a different way. Rocky came along at just the right time it was an uplifting story and people needed that back then. Some argue that Taxi Driver (also nominated) deserved the Oscar more. Some printings in the US slow down the films audio pitch and speed at 4. How much did you get to carry that bum for 15 rounds You are a disgrace to your people. Wouldnt you rather play with the children than read hate mail. You call yourself the champ Youre a fake The fight was a fake. You didnt beat nobody and anybody who knows boxing knows the fight was fixed.
Rocky was off balance and so the referee would rule it as a slip. The referee would only be counting Apollo Creed out because Rockys punch knocked him to the canvas.Īccording to the rules of boxing, Rocky should not be in danger of being counted out because he was not struck by a punch. If he took this actual route from his South Philly house to the top of the Art Museum steps he wouldve run approximately 30.2 miles in one day - 4 miles more than a marathon.ĭuring the fifteenth round, Rocky lands a left hook and Apollo Creed is knocked down. This time hes fighting not for glory, not for money, but for love.Once again, the Italian Stallion proves hes got what it takes. Unfortunately, Rocky becomes embarrassed when failing to complete an advert and ends up working in a meat packing company.Īpollo wants to rematch with Rocky to prove all his critics wrong that he can beat Rocky.
