Rocky was still banned in those days. Still, I enjoyed the boxing scenes a lot.

It's definitely a guy thing. Women like to avoid anything that will harm the face! Brain damage goes without saying.

It's just hard for me to cheer as someone gets his brains knocked out.<br /><br />But I'm dying to do the run up the museum steps, so we'll put that on the "To Do" list when I come see you in Philly!<br /><br />Take care, buddy, and thanks for stopping by.<br /><br /><br />Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-71457284761379986032016-05-01T18:30:21.459-07:002016-05-01T18:30:21.459-07:00Rob, this post brought back so many memories for m...Rob, this post brought back so many memories for me when I first saw it while living in NYC. I saw it with a bunch of fellow-acting students I had gone to school with. And if I remember correctly, I think we saw it in a movie theater down in Greenwich Village. It was 1976.<br /><br />You're right, that final scene was riveting and so exciting. What I loved about that film was the wonderful "spirit" it had - "a simple underdog story" - yes!<br /><br />I don't normally like to watch boxing (in a movie or on TV) because it just seems too violent. Also (and like you said), despite how strong or tough they think they are, the brain can’t take constant battering. After years of boxing, it has to do damage to the brain.<br /><br />Great post, buddy! And speaking of Rocky, any time I walk over to the Philadelphia Art Museum and climb the stairs, I immediately think of that scene in the movie where Rocky holds his arms up and you see the city of Philadelphia in the background.<br /><br />Have a super week!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
