Video: Subtitling with Stallone

Spoiler….one of these people will be dead

The other day I pulled out an old external hard drive and found a video I edited for another project for another site from another life.  It’s strange that we can put this up without going through the micromanaging process of multiple revisions and overthinking a simple idea.  IS THIS REAL LIFE?!  I don’t know.

Many people LOVE the scene in Rocky 3 when the defeated champ blubbers over Mickey’s lifeless body with a stream of incomprehensible “words” that are somehow emotionally effective.  But are they?  I remember checking this out in the theater as a kid and watching the scene play out.  A minute in, I screamed “fuck this horseshit,” and backed out of the theater while double flipping the bird to the audience.  I was 6.  In this video, we take a stab at captioning Stallone’s babble with actual words.  Enjoy.
