#WALLPAPER ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH MOVIE#

I'm sad to say that at this moment it almost reminds me of myself. It's about a guy, much like you or me, who's down on his luck and everyday feels like Sunday.

#WALLPAPER ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH MOVIE#

I was crushed that someone could think that this movie is about boxing. If she wasn't so hot, I probably would have. The realization that only the original would ever really matter. It was then I realized the true power of Stallone's vision. They were dancing in the isle's and celebrating. I never been to a movie like that before. It happened when I was 11 and I went to see V in the theater. I remember when I was a kid, I never liked the first Rocky, was too obsessed with III and IV. It's hard to explain what this movie means to me. Chartoff and Winkler mortgaged their houses for the last $100,000. When Winkler and Chartoff told United Artists that they could only get the screenplay if Stallone starred, United Artists cut the budget to $1 million and had Chartoff and Winkler sign agreements that they would be personally liable if the film went over budget. After Winkler and Chartoff purchased the film, they took it to United Artists, who envisioned a budget of $2 million with an established star, particularly Robert Redford, Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds, Nick Nolte or James Caan. They agreed, on the condition that Stallone continue to work as a writer without a fee, and that he work as an actor for scale. He had $106 in the bank and no car, and was trying to sell his dog because he couldn't afford to feed him, but he refused to sell unless they agreed to allow him to star in the film.

After producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff became interested in the script, they offered Sylvester Stallone an unprecedented $350,000 for the rights.
