Rocky by G.N. G. Avilsen is one of the most incredible hits to sleep at all times. Posted on Theaters on December 3, 1976, stand-up-and-no-classic would go to $ 117 million at home against a $ 1.1 million budget and won three Oscars (best picture, best director and best editing) in Banger's one year It included all timers like a "taxi driver", "All Men of the President" and "Network". It was such a joyous experience (although our hero of the shins loses through the decision to split) that Moviegoers returned a few seconds and thirds just to rethink Sylvester's High Stallone Filla Paloka Rocky Balboa inexplicable, going to the 15-year-old Distara.

What felt like a pugy fairy tale, in fact, was largely based on a true story. On March 24, 1975 This was a fight for Ali's melody, who has just become an undeniable champion after throwing out George Forman in the eighth round of the jungle's historic roar. He was expected to do a short work on Wepner before dropping it with brick with brick Ron Lille less than two months later. Now, the northeastern part of the Ohio has paid a lot of money to see the goat do what he did better than each on the planet, so thinking that Wepner was thrilled to take the $ 100,000 butt, but he did a light training (for him) and planned to bring him a few bleeding. However, Wepner got rid of the obligation to work for a second job as he trained (therefore guaranteed 100 Grand Payment), put in serious work.

15 rounds later, Ali triumphed through TKO, but he shockingly kissed the canvas in the ninth (thanks to Wepner strikingly stepping on the champion's leg while delivering power power). For a moment, the biggest harassment in boxing history seemed in the area. Then Ali got up and passed the rest of the fight by turning Wepner's face into Hamburger.

Stallone wisely decided to print the legend and tried to pay his good luck ahead of Wepner. Tragically, this should not have been.

Stallone admitted that Rocky is based on the fight in Ali-Vepner, and we know that while he borrowed elements of real life (like semi-assembling his training and Wepner's slope to scatter the cement flight on public stairs), he added a few wrinkles for dramatic effects (as well, The sparring partners of the Italian stadium, so brought it to the audition.

As Wepner said in the United States today (While making a stamp for Bioplog for 2017 "Chuck" Acting Liev Schreber), the test test was a disaster. "I was out of two days of fun and came up with a friend and a few girls who were going," he said. "I just didn't do good for the part. I deserved to be in the movie."

Wepner's spiral, downhill, led to arrest in 1985 for possession of cocaine, which gave him a 37 -month sentence in prison and under strict state surveillance. Wepner has eventually married and has been working successfully in the alcohol sales industry for 15 years. His is both an inspiring and warning story, but it seems to be in a good place now. Continue to fight, chuck.
