Sylvester Stallone

Enjoy a wonderful one on one with Sylvester Stallone. Stallone gets nostalgic and looks back at the beginnings of Rocky, a motivational and inspiring story for humankind.

That’s exactly the attitude I wanted.

I remember I was taking a ride across country, because I couldn’t afford an airline. And I was traveling with Butkus. Why are you squeezing your dog? You don’t understand, it’s a matter of survival. It was a very smelly experience until we got to Philadelphia.

This dog got to be in the movie. And that’s how Butkus got in the movie.

Anyway, that’s the story of me and Butkus.

The original ending of Rocky was quite different than what we have now.

He goes to distance and he is looking for Adrien, the crowd start to disperse. The champion is carrying out of the ring.. he eventually gets to the curtain and sees Adrien, she gives him a slight hug and he picks up a small pennant, a flag.. and hand in hand they start to walk into the locker room, with no one talking anymore.

Sylvester Stallone reflects on Rocky and its success. Looking back and remembering a worldwide cultural reference.
