Rocky is a 1976 American sports drama film directed by John G. Avildsen and both written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. It tells the rags to riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa, an uneducated but kind-hearted debt collector for a loan shark in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rocky starts out as a club fighter who later gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship. It also stars Talia Shire as Adrian, Burt Young as Adrian's brother Paulie, Burgess Meredith as Rocky's trainer Mickey Goldmill, and Carl Weathers as the champion, Apollo Creed.
The film, made on a budget of less than $1 million and shot in 28 days, was a sleeper hit; it made over $225 million the highest grossing film of 1976, and won three Oscars, including Best Picture. The film received many positive reviews and turned Stallone into a major star. It spawned five sequels: Rocky II, III, IV, V and Rocky Balboa.
On November 25, 1975, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is introduced as a small-time boxer and collector for Anthony Gazzo (Joe Spinell), a loan shark, living in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. The World Heavyweight Championship bout is scheduled for New Year's Day 1976, the year of the United States Bicentennial. When the opponent of undefeated heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) is injured, Creed comes up with the idea of giving a local underdog a shot at the title and, because he likes Rocky's nickname, "The Italian Stallion", he selects the relatively unknown fighter. He puts it in lights by proclaiming "Apollo Creed meets 'The Italian Stallion'". The fight promoter says the decision is "very American", but Creed adds it is also "very smart".
Plot
It's 1984, and Michael Jackson is king-even in Waihau Bay, New Zealand. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers). Shortly after Gran leaves for a week, Boy's father, Alamein, appears out of the blue. Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version-an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before. This is where the goat enters.

Plot
This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

You don't stay at the top forever
No one stays at the top forever.
Luck has nothing to do with the games they play.
They had it all, they ran the show, and it was paradise...while it lasted.
Don't Push Your Luck.
Winner loses all.
Nicky Santoro: We're supposed to be robbin' this place, you dumb fuckin' Hebe.
Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific, but they worked. When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky? Nicky was the muscle.
Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all.
[first lines]::Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And for a while, I believed, that's the kind of love I had.::[Ace's car explodes]
Nicky Santoro: Listen to me Anthony. I got your head in a fuckin' vise. I'll squash your head like a fuckin' grapefruit if you don't give me a name. Don't make me have to do this, please. Don't make me be a bad guy, come on.::Tony Dogs: Fuck you.::Nicky Santoro: This motherfucker, you believe this? Two fucking days and nights! Fuck me? *Fuck me?* You motherfucker! [turning the crank] Fuck my mother? That's what you fucking tell me? You motherfucker you!
Nicky Santoro: [voice-over] A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.
[repeated line]::Ace Rothstein: I can't do that.
Ace Rothstein: You guys have to be kidding, adjourned? What do you mean adjoured? Mr. Chairman, Senator. You promised me a hearing, you won't allow me a hearing? You didn't even look at the FBI reports. When you were my guest, Mr. Chairman, Senator, at the Tangiers hotel, did you not promise me that I would have a fair hearing?::Senator: I was never... I was never your guest at the Tangiers...::Ace Rothstein: You were never my guest?::Senator: ...that's right.::Ace Rothstein: I never comped you? I don't comp you at least 2 or 3 times a month? At the Tangiers?::Senator: I... I'd like to answer that at this time, Mr. Rothstein is being very typical to this point. He's lying. The only time I was at the Tangiers was when I had dinner with Barney Greenstein.::Ace Rothstein: Was I at that dinner? Tell me, was I at that dinner?::Senator: You were wandering.::Ace Rothstein: Was I at that dinner? Was I?::Senator: You were wandering around. You were in the... you were in the building.::Ace Rothstein: I was in the building? You know damn well I was at that dinner, and you swore to me I would have a fair hearing. Did you not? Did you not? Well, tell me I was at least at the dinner. Allow me that much. Give me that much at least!::Senator: Yes, you were.::Ace Rothstein: Yeah. Thanks for not calling me a liar. You son of a bitch.
Flirting Executive: Hello Mrs. Rothstein, how are you? [kisses her hand] You're one of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen, you're a lucky man Mr. Rothstein.::Ace Rothstein: [hesitant] Thank you, thanks for that compliment.::Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] He was a young kid from the casino. Nice kid, bright boy. What balls on this fuckin' kid. The next day I fired him.
Nicky Santoro: [voice-over] When it looked like they could get twenty-five years to life in prison just for skimming a casino, sick or no fuckin' sick you knew people were going to get clipped.

Here's a little story that I think you'll like
It's not about Shaq or Iron Mike
So buckle your seatbelts, it's gonna get choppy
And listen to the tale of the time I fought Rocky
One day me and all my friends were hangin'
Talkin' 'bout which of the girls was most bangin'
Then one friend says, "You know who's really tough?
"Rocky," (hit me home) "the boxer." Man,
I said, "Yeah I know him. What about him?" He said,
"He's really tough." "No way, man. I'm calling your bluff
"I think that I can take him and, to prove my point,
"I'll challenge him in public." (Yeah, that's the joint!)
So the very next day, stayed true to my word
And I snuck on T.V. so I could be heard
I said, 'Rocky, if you're out there, I think you're a nerd.
"And I'll lick you and bury you like a dog turd!"
I got kicked out, but the candle was lit
'Cause the people had to know if my claim was legit
It made the headlines and I got the call
It was Rocky ("Hey") and he wanted to brawl
We negotiated terms and set the date
Then I went into training to add some muscle weight
While I punched on meat in a rickety shack
He was sippin' on wine, having models rub his back
At the weigh-in, boy the tension was high
Me and Rock, toe-to-toe and eye-to-eye
I talked some trash, we got pulled apart
I shot him one last look to strike fear in his heart
Skip ahead, the big night was finally here
My body was ripped and my mind was clear
We entered the arena to the roar of the crowd
People chantin' my name - I never felt so proud
Faced off once more in the center of the ring
Touched gloves, said a prayer and the bell went *ding*
He hit me with a left and shattered my face
And a right sent my teeth all over the place
Then another great punch caved-in my eye socket
He broke my jaw and my trainer yelled, "Stop it!"
But nobody heard him and he crushed my ribs
Blood sprayed off my face and onto some kids
They yelled out, "More!" and Rocky obliged
I had to think of some way to turn the tides
So I leaned back to hit him with all of my might
Took a swing, but he caught me with a sucker punch right
Then a sucker punch left and a sucker punch right
Then twenty-two consecutive sucker punch rights
He tore off my arms and beat me with 'em
Then threw acid in my face which obscured my vision
He kicked me in the leg and fractured my shin
The bone splinters shot right out of my skin
People barfed in the crowd; they were going insane
And Rocky punched my nose-bone into my brain
I was quivering and twitching when I soiled my shorts
Then Rocky pissed on me (customary in sports)
The doctor came out and pronounced me dead
please go away.
won't you leave me alone?
i'm just so drunk and miserable.
you started with me,
you started with me.
(2x)
what's it gonna be?
what are ya gonna say
to set it all off?
it doesn't take much
these days, my dear.
you started with me,
you started with me.
it started with you,
you started with me.
it started with you.
it started with you,
it ends with me.
wait and see.
hey, look!
what's that sound?
everybody look what's goin' down.
it started with you,
it started with you.
you're so quick to forget
all the things that was said.
over and over again in my head.
it started with you,
it started with you.
it started with you,
you started with me.
it started with you.
it started with you,
it ends with me.
wait, and see.
things could've been easier
if it was all so much slower.
don't you think?
you think too much,
and you know too much.
i'm gonna have to kill you now.
take all your letters and postcards and pictures
and burn 'em and flush it,
forget it, i've forgotten.
i'll see you in hell!
reiterating
the blatantly obvious
throw me a curve,
be spontanious.
(2x)
i don't wanna play this game,
go home.

Chorus:
Rocky, du musst reiten durch die Weiten der Prairie.
Rocky, du kommst weiter, doch nach Hause kommst du nie.
Irgendwo da fiel ein Schuss im Dunkeln
und dann stand ein Pferd allein am Tor.
Alle Maedel wussten wer's getan hat,
und noch heute singen sie's uns vor.
Chorus
Irgendeiner sah die fremde Maske,
doch er sagte niemandem Bescheid.
Als die Stadt um Mitternacht im Schlaf lag,
kam das grosse Feuer und das Leid.
Chorus
Irgendeiner schoenen jungen Lady,
der gefiel der fremde Kavalier.
Sie ging aus und mit ihm tanzen,
und sie suchten lange noch nach ihr.
Chorus
ROCKY - ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Chorus:
Rocky, you must ride through the wide prairie.
Rocky, you get on, but you never get home.
Somewhere there was a shot in the dark
and a horse stood alone at the gate.
All the girls knew who had done it
and they still sing it today.
Chorus
Somebody saw the red mask,
but he didn't tell anybody.
When the town was asleep at midnight
the big fire came and the harm.
Chorus
Some pretty young lady
liked the unknown cavalier.
She went to the dance with him
and they sought for her for a long time.

Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
He's got the talent to take him far
Started out playing hotel bars
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
Spent his time just looking for kicks
Whipping out them [Incomprehensible] guitar licks
He knows all the tricks to pull the chicks
Just have a chance, everyway he rips
Come on Rocky take me into the night
The neon streets are shining bright
To all them queens you bring the light
That Cocky Rocky, his belt is so tight
Hits the stage, the show begins
Dressed in black to make him thin
The speed they flash and when he grins
Sail away Rocky and [Incomprehensible]
Come on Rocky and throw the dice
You threw it once, now throw it twice
Heavy boys, they want a slice
They paid their money, they want a choice
Cocky Rocky, he's the rock and roll star
He's got the talent to take him far
And all he needs is that old guitar
You're just like the kid next door
Still too young and immature
You always seem to hang around
When you're not wanted you're always found
Why do you embarrass me
So everyone can see
Us duke it out on live TV
Hey Rocky I hate to say
I wish you would just go away
Don't come back another day OK
What did you come here for
Don't wanna be insecure
It's about time that you went home
So go away leave me alone
(lead vocals by Dave)
we met in a bar
nothing special so far
until the moment they suggested a drive to the coast
minutes later we hit the road
the guy who was driving was fat and dressed in black
and all of a sudden he blew his top
when I told him he was driving too fast
I kept quiet for a while
then I said
I know of a dive further west
let's go and I pay my round
but no answer was to be heard
and then they stopped the car
got me out without a word
got me to undress
laid me down on the sand and pissed all over my body
insulting me the hardest way
I seemed to be attracting them the very same way
blood attracts sharks and pitbull terriers
boys you've been after me
yes you've been tracing me
and now you've captured me
what a pleasure it must be
but before you stab your prey
before I pass away
be sure that I lived for this
and this is my gift
we're gonna make you eat your balls
we're gonna get rid of you
so shove your bloody dignity aside
and prepare yourself for dying like a dog
one barked
so I had a thought for my family
remember my first lover
understood I'd never see the sun setting on this Roman
beach
and felt the cold blade of a flick-knife
penetrating me
boys you've been after me
yes you've been tracing me
and now you've captured me
what a pleasure it must be
but before you stab your prey
before I pass away
be sure that I lived for this
and this is my gift
We were in a park
and I could jump so far.
Seems that all I'd ever done,
is smoking pot out in the car.
And this fear faded in,
.......in my old school.
He says
"Ben, we both know you're a saint,
I've been running through these fields
it's such a lovely place you drink,
is it your imagination,
it's been years since I've been on my feet?"
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's on it's way.
Sun won't be coming out today.
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's time he went away.
Sun won't be coming out today.
Now I recall,
but I don't know who,
told me Rocky was a runner,
won a medal back in school.
Now at Christmas Momma says,
you go up in Rocky's room.
And as we watch the sun go down,
he thanks me for my dreams.
He says "I know you think you are,
but you're not completely free.
The man who's seen the spectre of....
is completely free."
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's on it's way.
Sun won't be coming out today.
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's on it's way.
Sun won't be coming out today.
Then he smiled,
and he turned and walked away.
He said over his shoulder,
"I'll be gone when you're awake."
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's on it's way.
Sun won't be coming out today.
Now it's Rocky's day,
and it's on it's way.
Well all of my friends, baby
They're going insane, now
Look up at my fingers, baby
Get lost in the rain
Halfway off the ground
Jumping up and down
Afraid to hear the sound
Of all that's going down
Na na na na baby
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Dear Baby Jesus
Here are my shoes
They don't smell so hot
But they've never read the news
Well all of my friends, baby
They thought I'm insane, now

Walking through a haze
Of shattered memories
They're flying through the trees
Their roots are at my knees

Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear, of things she did not know
But we got it on together in such a super way
We held each other close at night, and traded dreams each day
She said Rocky I've never been in love before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me
We found an old grey house, and you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day
Painting walls and sipping wine, sleeping on the floor
With so much love with just too, soon we found there'd be one more
And she said Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free,
and God knows if the word should end your love is save with me.
We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun
Like the birthday party, when our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give
Till the day they told me that she didn't have long to live
She said Rocky I never had to die before don't know if I can do it
Now it's back to two again my little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother, sometimes that makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in, I hear her sweet voice say to me
Rocky you know you've been alone before, you know you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand I'll help you through it, through it.
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end, your love is safe with me
The road of life is rocky and when rocks will fall on u..
yo bro.... u better be carefull what u do
and when the road is slippery and your mind play tricks on u too
yes sister.....yes u have to push on through
You should never give it up never give it up never give it up
learn to love yourself
Thats why u got to keep it up got to keep it up got to keep it up
keep your head up high yeahhh
I chant.. until the morning dawn
musically sound leads the way and u should never go ashtray oh nooo
When your sky turns into gray...sunshine feels like rain
yo bro rise up from your fears and pain

En voor het volgende nummertje heb ik dan effetjes hier in Cafe
Leo, dan mot ik effe vragen, Schat, achter de bar, mokkeltje kun
je effe bij me komen? Ja Dames en Heren thuis, ik zit al de hele
avond te kijken naar het mokkeltje dat achter de bar staat. Of ze
effetje een nummertje met me mee kan zingen. Schat? Daar is ze al.
Oke, 't is een heel een zielig nummer. 't Begint heel vrolijk, maar
op het gegeven moment wordt het heel zielig. Als U er niet tegen
ken, kunt U beter effe naar de wc gaan, naar buiten lopen, iets te
drinken nemen, op de grond gaan liggen en vragen of er iemand naast
je komt liggen, of boven op je, he? Oke, schat, ben je er klaar
voor? Ik mot je effe vragen hoe je heet, voor het fatsoen? (Maike)
Maike, Dames en Heren, mag ik een applaus voor Maike?
Ik weet nog toen ik achttien was
Kwam zij hier steeds voorbij
Smalle schouders, donker haar
Haar ogen stonden blij
Maar voor we echte vrienden waren
Ja, dat duurde toch nog lang
We hebben nachtenlang gepraat
Tot de morgen kwam
Ze zei toen
Rocky, ik was toch nog nooit zo verliefd
Ik weet niet wat er gebeurt
Want er komt toch wel wat meer bij kijken
Dan wat kussen en een flirt
Ik zei toen: 'kop op meisje
Vertrouw op mij, onze liefde is echt
Als je me maar een beetje helpt
Komt alles wel terecht
We zochten toen een kamer
En bleven bij elkaar
We sliepen samen op de grond
En hielden van elkaar
Onze harten bleven branden
Door de liefdesvlam
Tot ze op een dag vertelde
Dat er een baby
Ze zei toen
Rocky, ik heb nog nooit een kind gekregen
Ik wil het jou graag geven
Maar het dromen is nu wel voorbij
In ons jonge leven
Ik zei toen: "kop op meisje
vertrouw op mij
al zal het moeilijk gaan
Als jij me maar een beetje helpt
Kunnen we het samen aan"
Ze schonk me toen een meisje
Oh wat was ik trots op haar
We leefden in een paradijs
En zagen geen gevaar
Goede maar ook slechte tijden
We hebben alles gehad
Totaan die dag dat ik horen moest
Dat zij niet lang meer te leven had
Ze zei toen
Rocky, ik ben zo bang om nu al te sterven
En wat daarna dan komt
Is er dan een heel nieuw leven
Achter de horizon
Alleen m'n kleine meisie
Heb ik nu nog maar
Soms voel ik tranen branden want
Ze lijkt precies op haar
Maar als ik soms vertwijfeld ben
En niet meer door wil gaan
Pakt ze steeds m'n hand en kijkt mij
Met grote ogen aan
Ze zegt dan
Pappie ik was toch nog nooit alleen
En weet niets van het leven
Ik ben toch nog zo klein en kan
Alleen maar liefde geven
Ik zeg dan: "kop op meisje, vertrouw op mij
Al zal het moeilijk gaan
Als jij me maar een beetje helpt
Kunnen we het samen aan"
