Originally the training montage in the film where the track made an appearance was originally meant to only be a minute at a half instead of the final 3 minute cut, John had a bunch of extra footage of Sylvester working out lying around.

Undeniably Gonna Fly Now is the most recognizable piece from the movie and has an interesting story behind it. “ That song is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard” – Sylvester Stallone Both men cooperated well, leading to some scenes and music being changed because they felt as if that they didn’t complement each other. Inspired by the scene they both agreed to give the film music that captured and boosted the emotions portrayed in its story. They watched some boxing tapes in slow motion while Beethoven played in the background. One night during the first film’s development, John invited Bill to his house. His agent tried to negotiate for a better deal but remained underpaid in the first movie due to limited budget and resources for the film’s production. The rules of the deal were that Bill would use the funds to acquire the musicians, tapes, engineers and he would receive whatever was left as income. Avildsen, the film’s director eventually suggested that they hire Bill. After failing to find another conductor John G.

Housing hits such as Robert Tepper’s No Easy Way Out, James Brown’s Living In America, Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart. The movies had some of the most animating music that I have ever experienced. It was a difficult movie to get into production but paid off massively – How so? Well that discussion deserves an entire dedicated episode on its own.

The series has varied wildly in quality, with the critical and commercial success of the original leading to a slew of increasingly messy sequels (and, moving into the 21st Century, back again), but what's maintained through all the head-pummelling and birthday-wishing robots is the character of Rocky. At first a small boxing drama written by then up-and-comer Sylvester Stallone, it ballooned into one of the most prolific action series of the eighties, carving out its own niche in pop culture with a slew of catchy songs and an ever-increasing number of training montages. Oscar-winning films may sometimes get sequels (The Godfather's even repeated the original's success by bagging Best Picture), but no Academy Award scooping movie has had quite the franchise longevity as Rocky.
