Rocky IV (1985) Edit

A left hand by Creed. Another left hand by Creed, and Drago moves away.

A lot of people don't have a choice. I do.

A lot of people live with hurt.

A normal heavyweight averages 700 pounds of pressure per square inch.

A right hand from Drago sends Rocky Balboa 15 feet across the ring...

Aagh!

Adrian always tells the truth.

Adrian, this ain't everything.

After unravelling years of red tape, Russia will throw its hat into the ring

Al, this place is ready to explode.

All right, all right. I've said what I feel.

All right, but... when this is over...?

All right!

All right!

And Balboa is not staying on balance because of the long jab of the Russian.

And don't forget to feed your robot.

And Drago throws a hard right hand that stuns Rocky Balboa!

And for that you're willing to lose everything?

And I don't know if he's ready to do that.

And Rocky's determination is beginning to win over what was a hostile crowd.

And that Daddy loves you... no matter what?

And the Russian throws a right hand to the jaw! Another right to the head!

And to do that, he's gotta be willin' to die himself.

And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me.

And to one of the most unusual events in years: East meets West.

And when he died... a part of me died.

Another left hand by Creed. Drago waiting, waiting, cocking that right hand.

Apollo is down, and he could be badly hurt.

Apollo seems to be in great spirits.

Apollo was like my son.

Apollo, how ya doin'? Yeah? You're comin' out? That's great.

As you can see, it is highly advanced, and we wish to show the American press...

Atlanta, yeah! Atlanta!

Balboa is chopping the Russian down!

Balboa picking up the Russian and throws him to the ground like a wrestler.

Be a rock for me! Be strong! All right? Take it to him! No pain.

Be back in a minute, all right?

Be careful with those plaid ones. They belong to the boss.

Before, there were reasons to fight I understood, but I don't understand this.

Believe me, you will when it's over.

Boy, you really move good for an older guy.

Brace yourself! Brace yourself!

But for what you gotta do, it's good.

But I don't know if it matters now.

But in the end... I know you'll be the one standin'.

But now... you're the one.

But perhaps this simple defeat of this little so called champion...

But to beat me... he's gonna have to kill me.

But you can't change what you really are. You can forget all this money and stuff.

Bye, baby.

Champ, look. I gotta stop ya. This fight's finished. I gotta call it.

Checkmate, friend.

Come on, Apollo. We don't know anythin' about this guy you're fightin', really.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Rock! What are you waitin' for?!

Come on, Stallion.

Come on! Fight!

Come on! Get up!

Come on! The meter's runnin'!

Cos I'm a fighter! That's the way I'm made, Adrian.

Cos it don't change a thing.

Creed back pedalling now. He's been away five years.

Creed is in a very serious condition.

Creed is over the hill, and, uh... the Russian hasn't fought anybody.

Creed's being pounded without mercy!

Creed's dancing around.

Da da!

Dad, you're late. Mom's gonna yell at you.

Did Creed's death make up your husband's mind?

Didn't you say you learned how to live with it?

Ding, ding.

Do it!

Do it.

Don't go down! Don't go down!

Don't go too fast, or you're gonna get out of focus.

Drago is a look at the future.

Drago, how does it feel to spar with the great former champion?

Drago!

Drago!

Durin' this... fight... I seen a lot of changin'.

Enjoy the fight.

Even if you win, what have you won? Apollo's still gone.

Excuse, please. You are not very realistic, are you, Mr Creed?

Fine.

For me!

Forget it.

From having been trained in Russia by great boxing coach Manuel Vega...

Get in car now. We have very long trip.

Get your hands up! Do you need an interpreter? It's time to go to school!

Goddamn!

Gold medallist in swimming.

Good evening. Along with Warner Wolf, I am Stu Nahan.

Good luck.

Great(!) I'm gettin' punchy just watchin' it!

Happy almost anniversary.

Have you read the papers? Do you know what everybody says?

He seems impervious to this madness of the crowd.

He sounds like Dracula's cousin.

He's cut and he's bleeding, but he's on his feet and he's on the run!

He's gettin' killed out there!

He's like a piece of iron.

He's like a volcano just waiting to erupt.

He's not human...

He's not only fighting an invincible opponent...

He's nothing... soft!!

Hello, and merry Christmas from a very unusual place.

Hello? Yeah, Apollo... Turn that down.

Hey, folks. Ivan Drago is definitely for real.

Hey, when does the sun come up? This is detrimental to my sinuses.

His concentration is like stone.

Hit him!

How does it feel to be part of such a controversial decision?

How much can you take? Either of you?

I always think of somethin' else.

I came here tonight, and I didn't know what to expect.

I can't get over the size of this Russian!

I couldn't stay away any more.

I didn't say anythin' about snails. I said nails. N N Nails, Stallion!

I don't know what you people are doing here!

I don't see anybody askin' for autographs, do you?

I feel like I'm gettin' ready to go into a big fight or somethin'. Watch this.

I feel sorry for that guy, you know?

I fight to win!

I gotta go now.

I guess what matters is...

I had to teach this young fella to box American style!

I just care about you both. I...

I just wanna go someplace where I ain't gonna think about nothin' except him.

I just wanna say one thing to my kid, who should be home sleepin'.

I just wanna show the whole world that Russia doesn't have all the best athletes.

I know I can beat him.

I know I didn't understand that, but...

I know sometimes I act stupid and I say stupid things, but you kept me around...

I know we can't be born again, but, let's face it, we... we gotta change sometime.

I know you're gonna have to do almost everything alone, but I'll be with you.

I know you're kinda busy, but I wanna tell you some things I never told you.

I love you!

I missed you.

I missed you.

I must break you.

I raised him.

I seen... a lot of people hatin' me...

I tell you, it's been excellent. Open your prize. Go on.

I want you to use your head for somethin' instead of a punchin' bag, like I do.

I want you! I want you! I want you!

I wanted a sports car for my birthday, not no walkin' trash can!

I was so nervous. I didn't know. I... I hope you like it.

I wish to say to the press, in all fairness...

I would like to announce the presence of a true fighting champion...

I would like to point out again, this is a non sanctioned fight.

I'll never forget you, Apollo.

I'll try.

I'll try.

I'll try.

I'll... get the coffee.

I'm afraid for my husband's life. We have threats of violence everywhere.

I'm gonna have her wires tied when I get back.

I'm not going to Russia. I don't know what you're talking about!

I'm not the bad guy. I came to talk about a friendly exhibition bout...

I'm so excited, I'm startin' to sweat.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm with you, no matter what.

I've been with the best. I beat the best. I retired more men than Social Security!

If a big giant man wanted to beat me up, I'd be real scared.

If he dies... he dies.

If it's not him, Stallion, then who's it against?

In here, there were two guys...

In our country, Apollo Creed is well known and very respected.

In the red corner, weighing an even 261 pounds...

In the ring now... Rocky's holding that right hand. He's fighting right handed!

Incredible! Get him!

Insult us! Is more typical rude behaviour towards visiting foreigners!

Isn't Drago a little inexperienced to be in the same ring?

Isn't it time to start thinking about something else?

It ain't ancient history.

It is lies and false propaganda...

It looks like a catcher's mitt!

It makes a man a better man...

It's a gutter war! No holds barred in Moscow!

It's absolute pandemonium!

It's an unbelievable sight to see.

It's crazy how people just care about you in that ring and when you're bleedin'...

It's creepy! It talks!

It's hard for me to say these kinda things because that ain't my way...

It's mentally irregular, but it makes all the sense in the world.

It's physically impossible for this little man to win.

It's suicide! You've seen him. You know how strong he is.

It's Wednesday, but in case you forgot...

Ivan Drago, a man with an entire country in his corner.

Ivan Drago: Since that tragedy in Las Vegas and the death of Apollo Creed...

Just for myself. No TV, no newspapers just you and me.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!

Ladies and gentlemen...

Let me set the mood. I gotta turn the lights down and everythin'.

Like you requested, yes?

Like your Popeye, he ate his spinach every day.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

Lvan Drago!

Lvan!

Mamma mia! What you usin' for a chin there, Stallion?

Maybe, but, uh... really. I'm speakin' the truth here, Apollo.

Merry Christmas, kid!

More than ever, Rocky has proven himself a true champion!

Move!

Mr Balboa! Mr Creed's on the phone.

Mr Balboa.

My husband and great undefeated heavyweight world amateur champion...

My husband and I thank you for coming to our training quarter today.

My husband is very happy to have this opportunity.

No matter what?

No matter what.

No more talk now. We will talk at press conference.

No stoppin' now! You start and you don't stop!

No TV. What about the Rose Bowl game?

No, Adrian, I do, and... I gotta leave this place, too.

No, Stallion! Maybe you think you're changin'.

No, you don't want any of this.

No? That's nice. Thanks a lot.

Not until this is over.

Nothin' just you and me. Age before beauty.

Now blast this guy's teeth out!

Now you're gonna have to go through hell...

Nyet!

Official chaperons, yes?

Oh, Adrian.

Oh, don't worry. I'll clean it up for you, Paulie.

Oh, I have a bad dream here.

Oh, just keep punchin', Apollo.

Oh, really? Wuh ha ha ha!

Oh! A wise guy, huh?

Oh! It's beautiful.

One of the fighters is starting to make his way through this crowd toward the ring.

Our people cheer for HIM! You idiot.

Paulie, did you pack your toothbrush? You know how tobacco stains your teeth.

Pretend you're happy. It'll keep you company.

Put that heavy bag with eyeballs in the ring with me and you'll see pain!

Rocky Balboa!

Rocky may be on the receiving end so far, but he's here to fight.

Rocky, give it some time. Don't do this.

Rocky, how do you think Apollo should fight Drago?

Rocky!

Rocky!

See you later, kiddo. Don't you think people are expectin'...

See you, sport.

Slip him a hook, Rock! Slip him a hook!

Snails. I never had 'em. I see 'em in the garden, but I never want to eat 'em.

So I'm askin' you...

So where are you... going?

Stallion...

Stop the fight!

Take his heart. If you hurt him, you'll take his heart. No pain! Keep workin'!

Take it to him! Take it to him!

Thanks for gettin' me here. I owe you one.

Thanks, Duke.

Thanks, Paul.

Thanks, Paulie.

Thanks.

That after all these years, everything still seems kinda new.

That ain't us up there no more, Apollo.

That was a pulverising round for the ex champion.

That's easy for you to say. You're still on top.

That's very hard for a man of my intelligence to handle.

That's what I'm afraid of. All right. You got a deal there.

That's what you married. We can't change what we are.

The American is small and weak...

The champ has a look that could burn through lead.

The general secretary of the Soviet and other members of the Politburo...

The guy I bought it from says even if it looks like a snake, don't worry...

The Iron Horse from America, Rocky Balboa, comes here to the Soviet Union...

The legs appear to be still a little rubbery.

The man's tongue didn't come through customs.

The Master of Disaster, the one and only Apollo Creed!

The party ain't over yet, you know. We still gotta celebrate some more.

The prize ring. The introductions were made by his wife, Ludmilla Vobet Drago

The Russian towers above the American. It's a true case of David and Goliath here.

The Soviet's strength is incredible!

The way... youse felt about me...

Then how do you explain his, uh... freakish strength?

Then there's another side that comes out that isn't so scared.

There is no one who can match his strength, endurance or aggressiveness.

There's a lot I could say... about this man.

There's a lot more than this, Adrian.

There's another side that, like...

There's no antennas. You gotta complain. We'll crack out here!

There's no stoppin' us now. This is our round.

They are assigned to you.

They might have to stop this one before somebody gets killed.

They said they were gonna let me train in Russia.

They're toe to toe.

This house, and the cars, and all the stuff we got... that ain't everything.

This is incredible.

This is Russia? It don't look so tough, Rock.

This is shaping up to be a personal war, and right now...

This is us against them. What are you talkin' about? Come on!

This other man has not the size, or the endurance, or the genetics to win.

Though most of the world is ignorant in body chemistry...

To the end.

To win you gotta knock him out! Punch and punch till you can't punch no more!

Today may be a landmark in sports history.

Tonight's special event features two great athletes.

Very classy wish. What do you think?

Violent? We don't keep our people behind a wall with machine guns!

We are finished, yes? Da svidaniya.

We are not in politics. All I want is for my husband to be safe, to be treated fairly.

We can't do that the way we did it before.

We fight in Soviet Union, or we fight nowhere.

We got a great surprise. You're gonna love this cake.

We have to be right in the middle of the action, cos we're the warriors.

We take you to quarters now.

We welcome you to an unusual event: For the first time ever...

We would like an exhibition bout with your famous champion, Rocky Balboa.

We'll be right back with a check on today's pro football sports scoreboard.

We're born with a killer instinct that you can't just turn off and on like some radio.

We're changin'. We're, like, turnin' into regular people.

We're in Moscow. I'm Barry Tompkins, along with Al Bandiero...

Weak.

Weather changes, hour to hour. Get used to it.

Well, do you think maybe it's, like, uh, you against you? What do you think?

Well, it's just that you ain't been in the ring for five years.

Well, personally, I think the first thing you'd better get Apollo is a ladder.

Well, the truth is, you know, sometimes...

Well, this fight you're havin' against the Russian. Do you think maybe...

Well, you know, some folks got to learn the hard way!

Well, you're not.

What a depressing vacation.

What a horrendous flight.

What a tough three minutes for Rocky Balboa.

What am I doin'? I'm just gettin' dizzy.

What are you doing with that cake?

What are you guys doin'?! This is supposed to be an exhibition!

What are you talkin' about?

What at this point in your life is worth getting hurt for?

What do you think we are nerds?

What happens when you're not on top? Then what?

What I'm tryin' to say is...

What started out as a joke has turned out to be a disaster.

What?

When will you be back?

When? Now you don't really think you're gonna whip me, do ya?

Where do we go, Stallion? Cos we sure as hell can't be born again.

Where you go, they go.

Where's the stretcher? Let him breathe, for God's sake!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoever he fights first, it'll be one hot ticket.

Why don't you ask Drago's wife why she is afraid? Tell them, please.

Why? You plannin' to grow reindeer or somethin'?

Why'd you do it?

Will ya let him breathe?

Will you?

With Rock's help, we can get great media coverage. We make them look bad.

Without some challenge, some damn war to fight...

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, sure.

Yes, he is.

Yo. Could you turn your robot down?

You always did everything...

You and me, we don't even have a choice.

You call him a killer. He's a professional fighter, not a killer.

You can box, yes, but you are far too old to think you can win over Drago.

You can't win!

You cut him! You hurt him! You see?

You don't wanna believe it, but maybe the show is over.

You ever try these comics?

You got him hurt bad. Now he's worried.

You have no friends, so we thought you'd like it.

You have this belief that you are better than us...

You have this belief that you are so fair, and we are so very cruel.

You know the rules. Watch the low blows, kidney punches and rabbit punches.

You know what you gotta do.

You know what's amazing?

You know, don't you think that's a little bright?

You know, I think you really are gettin' brain damaged.

You know, you're developin' a very, very loud personality.

You look pretty good, but, you know...

You remember a long time ago I told you that, uh...

You see, I fight so you don't have to fight.

You see? He's not a machine. He's a man!

You trained this fool. He's a disgrace.

You will lose.

You're a great fighter, but you've been retired five years.

You're a great talker, Apollo.

You're all heart, Rock.

You're doin' fine. You're doin' great.

You're doin' good, Rocko. I couldn't do better myself.

You're gonna do it!

You're never gettin' rid of me.

You're not doing as you're told.

You're the best.

You're the one that's gonna keep his spirit alive. You're the one...

Your head doesn't look like a punching bag.

(Apollo) Come on. Maybe I'm in here with the wrong guy.

(Barry) There's the bell. The war is on. (Englishman) This is the last round.

(bell) Do it now! Now!

(bleeps) Very good, huh?

(loud pop music) Dad, when can I learn to fight?

(man#1) Hope? Well, I know he is...

(man#3) No quick knockout predictions? No. I'm not angry with him.

(Paulie) Get outta there! (Duke) Let's go, Rocky!

(referee counts in Russian) Four!

(Rocky) Excuse me! (MC translates)

(woman) Rocky, is the decision final? Yes.

# Detroit City # Detroit City!

# Like New Orleans # New Orleans!

# Livin' in America # Yeah!

# New York City # New York City!

# Pittsburgh PA # Pittsburgh PA!

# There's no easy way out # There's no easy

# There's no easy way out # There's no easy way out

# There's no easy way out # There's no easy way out

A few questions, please. How long are you here for?

A friend gave it to me. Like it? Who punched you in the eye?

A little bit? Where'd you get that hat?

A slip by Creed. (Warner) This is bizarre.

Absolutely. You know, Stallion...

All we can do is go with what we are. You can't go with what you are!

And your present. Where is it?

Anything you say. I do all the work. OK.

Apollo! Apollo! Get ready, cos it's showtime! Showtime!

Are you? Yeah.

Boy, am I hungry. Baby, why don't you get the cake?

But good? Oh, yeah. Very good.

But our anniversary's a week away. That's true, but, uh... why wait?

Charge him! Now!

Come on! He looks great. This is extremely psycho.

Come on! We made a deal. I know, but it's extremely crazy.

Come on. Patience is a virtue.

December 25th. (man#1) Why Christmas?

Do you like it? It's beautiful.

Excuse me, would you? Certainly.

Get these guys outta here. The winner, lvan Drago.

Go on, make a wish, like he says. I wish I wasn't in this nightmare.

Go on, open your prize. OK.

Has Drago partaken in any experiments? No! Lvan is naturally trained.

Has it been that rough? (laughs) No, no.

He's cut! He's cut! (Al) The Russian's cut!

He's killin' ya! I gotta stop this thing. Promise me you're not gonna stop it.

How do you feel about Russia? Is your husband going to Moscow?

How does it feel? OK? Feels great. I feel like I could eat nails.

How you doin'? Pretty good.

I can't hear you. What? I wanna learn to fight.

I don't know about that. (man#2) Doesn't the title matter?

I don't know what you're talking about! Why is he going at Christmas?

I don't think I wanna hear this, Stallion. Hey, Apollo, you were a great fighter...

I hope it's not another rematch. Oh, don't worry about it.

I hope so. Of course. They're sportsmen...

I just gotta do what I gotta do. You don't have to do anything.

I just want you to... maintain a little bit. I'm in the best shape of my life.

I lied. Oh, you lied?

I never tried them snails. What are you talkin' about?

I see three of him out there. Hit the one in the middle.

I think it's wrong. No. It's never been more right.

I'm still young enough to whip your butt. Oh, yeah? How you gonna do that?

I'm stronger, I'm quicker... Hey, I'm not sayin' you're not ready...

I'm... the unsilent majority, bigmouth! Good! Yes, good!

I've never seen Apollo take so much. Throw the damn towel!

Is he dead? Get outta here!

Is the man alive? You can make it, Apollo.

It could be a good victory. Whoa! Wait a minute, now. Hold it.

It's a special night. Yeah, it's Wednesday.

It's in Russia. Are you nuts?

It's showtime! Excuse me. Didn't you forget somethin'?

Keep movin'. Stick him! (Stu) Drago's moving in again.

Later, Apollo. Later, big man.

Let me through! Apollo! I cannot be defeated.

Listen to this crowd! (Al) This borders on pure hatred.

Nah. Yes, you are. A little, maybe?

No money. It's not about money. (woman) Has the fight date been set yet?

No pain. No pain. No pain. No pain. All right, Rock. Do it!

No, no. Keeps your fertility.

Now you can stop calling him names. You been callin' me names?

Now you look like a mummy. I feel like a mummy.

Oh, no, no. We're even. God, I feel born again.

Oh, pretty soon. Are you scared?

Paul, it's OK. OK? This is below human standards.

Rocky! Yeah, you noticed.

Rocky? Yeah?

Shake hands. Let's have a good fight. It's time to go to school, son.

Shall we have a demonstration? (man#1) Please do.

So how you doin'? Fine.

So the result's quite obvious. And what results are those?

Some kinda weather we're havin', huh? Yeah, it's pretty rough.

Stop bustin' my chops. Paulie!

Stop this before you get hurt. I don't wanna hear! Let that chump go!

Sure. OK. On the count of three. One...

Thank you. (MC translates into Russian)

Thanks, honey. (female voice) You're welcome.

That's a great lookin' guy. Please make a wish.

That's a nice song. It's my favourite. You're the greatest.

That's my dad. We know.

That's what I was told. (woman) Where?

The referee is thrown across the ring! Throw the towel! Throw the towel!

Then where does that leave me? This is just some kind of exhibition fight.

There is no movement by Creed. I defeat old man.

This is an exhibition bout. Kids' stuff. What's the purpose?

This is your whole life here! Yeah, knock him out, Rocko.

This thing don't mean nothin'. No, man. That's where you're wrong.

Toughen you up. I guess so.

Try not to wear yourself out, OK? Yeah, wear myself out. Sure.

Uh, you can do your homework. OK. Later, Dad. Later, Uncle Paulie.

Wanna ring the bell? All right.

Watch this. Is it parked outside?

We talk later. When are you gonna fight, Drago?

We'll finish this in the ring! Wherever you like.

Well, he didn't come here to lose. You hold on, little lady.

Well, they're out. You drownded me!

Well... If I may answer.

What is he doin'?! He's winnin'!

What round is it? 15. One more round.

What the hell is that? That's my girl.

What the hell is this? Your present.

What's happenin' out there? He's winnin'.

When did you think of this? About three years ago.

Who are you? Who am I?

Why do you insult us? Now you just hold on here.

Why do you wanna fight again? Let's just say it's somethin' I believe in.

Why don't you go and get ready to eat? Great. You're here.

Yeah? Hey, champ. Can I come up?

Yeah? I'll be right there. You can get it right here.

Yes, you can. You can't change anythin'.

You all right? Yeah.

You can't do no more. I'm here to fight him.

You owe me a favour. I know, but, uh...

You requested this dumb location? Yeah.

You taught me everything you know. Almost everything.

You want it more than he does! No pain! No pain.

... and now by Sergei Rimsky, we hope he's qualified to do so.

... as the former champion Apollo Creed takes on a mountain of muscle...

... Captain lvan Drago, has come here with his trainers to America...

... from the Soviet Union: Lvan Drago.

... to compete as an international sportsman and ambassador of goodwill.

... wreak havoc among the professional heavyweight ranks?

...a former heavyweight champion of the world...

...a great athlete a superathlete, by harnessing all his strength.

...a small portion of the advances our country has made...

...and evolution. Isn't it, gentlemen? Drago is the most perfectly trained athlete ever.

...and my arms hurt so much I can't even lift them, and I'm thinkin'...

...and Rocky Balboa is just trying to get through this first round.

...and the booing crowd here does not seem to bother him one bit.

...and the champ is down!

...and the Russian premier and most of the Politburo looking on.

...and the way I felt... about you.

...and you can change... (MC translates)

...as a friend...

...because by goin' that one more round when you don't think you can...

...but he's fighting back ferociously.

...but if I could unzip myself and step out and be someone else, I'd wanna be you.

...but once you step out, you're ancient history.

...but personally, if it were me...

...but, look, we gotta face the facts too.

...cos it won't bite you.

...Drago should not even fight this man, because he is a has been.

...from the Soviet Union...

...God! I wish this guy would hit me on the chin so I don't feel nothin' any more.

...gold medallist and undefeated world amateur champion...

...he's also fighting a hostile crowd...

...he's been re nicknamed Death from Above.

...I do get a little scared, you know.

...I said that you ain't never gettin' rid of me. Remember that?

...I wouldn't mind postponin' a couple of weeks.

...I wouldn't mind postponin' a couple of weeks.

...in the technology of human performance.

...is just take everythin' he's got.

...it ain't against him?

...it's anybody's boxing match.

...it's too bad we gotta get old, huh?

...just do me a favour when you go up there.

...killin' each other, but I guess... that's better than 20 million.

...like the Russian, way back into Balboa's corner now.

...lvan Drago!

...not soldiers.

...now I understand.

...stand by my side this one last time.

...that this country is so very good, and we are so very bad.

...that's gonna make sure that he didn't die for nothing.

...that's what makes all the difference in your life. You know what I mean?

...the Dancing Destroyer...

...the King of Sting...

...the way you wanted it.

...then the warrior may as well be dead, Stallion.

...till Comrade Bigmouth started up! It is you who are the aggressor.

...to see Rocky whack this bum out first? Yeah. And he will, when it's for real.

...to support this antagonistic and violent government!

...tryin' to make us look bad. They try every other way.

...two... three!

...we wish to... educate your country. There have been rumours of doping...

...West against East in professional sports.

...what he died for.

...what he lived for, and...

...what he stood for...

...what to feel about that, so... I guess I didn't like you much none either.

...when other people would've said Drop that bum. You give me respect.

...will be a perfect example of how pathetically weak...

...worse than any nightmare that you ever dreamed.

...you won by one second. You beat me by one second.

...your society has become. We go!

# And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

# And removes the light of self control

# And somewhere on the way you might find out who you are, wow!

# And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

# Baby, baby, we can shed this skin

# Baby, better get that straight

# Burnin' with determination

# But I'm feelin' like a prisoner

# But you might find it anyway

# Chicago and LA

# Christmas, Christmastime is here

# Coast to coast

# Cos some things are worth fightin' for

# Did my time, took my chances

# Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

# Double or nothin', you've gotta have a partner...

# Energisin'

# Eye to eye

# Fever's risin'

# Fever's risin' high

# Fever's risin' high

# Fight until the end

# Givin' in can't be wrong

# Givin' in, givin' in can't be wrong, no

# Got it made! I said now, eye to eye, tooth to tooth

# Hand to hand, across the nation

# Have some catfish from Church's Fried Chicken

# Head to head

# Heart's on fire

# Heart's on fire

# Heart's on fire

# Heart's on fire

# Heart's on fire

# Hey, I know what it means

# Hit it!

# Hit it!

# How you give in to the hands of fate

# I don't wanna drag you down

# I don't wanna pacify you

# I feel good!

# I just wanna know why

# I just wanna know why

# I live in America

# I live in America

# I see only angry faces

# I think it's unbelievable

# I'm not askin' for another chance

# In the burning heart

# In the darkest night, rising like a spire

# In the heat of attack, it's the passion that kills

# In the warrior's code there's no surrender

# Instead of goin' down an endless road

# It's a battle of wills

# It's a primitive clash, venting years of frustration

# It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

# It's the paradox that drives us on

# Just a man and his will to survive

# Just about to burst

# Just slide behind the wheel

# Knows it's you against you

# Like a stranger in a no name town

# Livin' in America

# Livin' in America

# Livin' in America

# lt'll make you proud

# No easy, no easy way out

# No easy, no easy way out

# Not knowin' if we're dead or alive

# Oh, yeah!

# Oh!

# Oh!

# Oh!

# On the transcontinental overload

# Rages deep within
