The story of one mans fight to be somebody, in a world where âeveryone can be famous for five minutesâ. This is his story, originally told in two parts, condensed into a 2 1/2 hour movie. Follow his dream, and get read to go the distance.
Original film name Rocky/Rocky II
Film release date 1976 & 1979
Original runtime 238 minutes
Fanedit release date August 2012
New runtime 166 minutes
Amount of time cut/added 90 minutes cut
Intention
To tell Rockyâs story from being a no good fighter âbumâ, to eventually becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, in one story.
Edit Details
To tighten the overall story, edit out details and subplots that were not in keeping with Rockyâs âgood guyâ image, and minor trims.
Cutlist
-removed subplot: Rocky working for the loan shark Tony Gazzo. Gazzo is now just Rockyâs friend. -removed scene of Adrien in Rockyâs apartment and, eventual kiss. This can be hinted at by her just going into his apartment.
-removed first training montage. Although I liked both, one had to go, and it was the first, as I felt the second one was much stronger.
-removed substory of Rockyâs friendship with Lindsey. Sheâs just another no good street kid.
-removed Rockyâs retirement, and jobs in commercials and the meat factory. So, after Rockyâs first outing against Apollo, he concentrates on his next bout.
-trimmed the end of the first bout to leave it on a cliffhanger (the result gets revealed in the hospital anyway).
-removed any trace of Rocky promising Adrien he wonât fight no more (and subsequent scene of Adrien having stomach pains in the pet shop before slipping into coma).
-added a little scene at the start from the second bout, which also ends in cliff hanger.
-removed credits from both movies. now, only a title card, and sounds fom crowd chanting âRockyâ can be heard.
-remade end credits using original track âRedemptionâ
