Line 151:
** Apollo vs. Drago arguably plays it straight subverts it at the same time. Drago had imposing height & reach and was clearly in better shape than the long-retired Apollo, so any objective viewer would back him to win the match. Most Americans though (including Apollo himself) would instead peg the beloved ex-champion for an easy win against the amateur foreigner.
** Whenever someone tells Rocky in a movie "You can't win!", he's going to win. Sometimes not the first fight(as the case in III) but he will.
* [[Whoopi Epiphany Speech]]
* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]: ''Rocky Balboa'' has two, one given by Rocky to the athletic board after they refuse his boxing license despite passing all the medical tests they put him through. The second was given to his son when Rocky Jr. calls him out for supposedly seeking the spotlight, where Rocky explains that we can't and shouldn't blame others for our problems.
