Looking for inspirational Rocky quotes?
Rocky is arguably one of the most appreciated movie characters and definitely one of the most motivational films of all time. It tells the rags to riches story of Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone), an uneducated but well-meaning Italian-American boxer. Just as it seems he’s lost everything, he gets a shot at the world heavyweight championship.
Regarded as one of the greatest sports films ever made, Rocky became the highest-grossing film of 1976, earning $225 million in global box office receipts. It won 3 Oscars and shot Sylvester Stallone to superstardom.
The film has inspired 6 sequels, with a 7th one set to be released in the United States on November 21, 2018. Stallone portrays Rocky Balboa in all six sequels.
The story behind how Sylvester Stallone pitched the script for the movie to producers and how many times he was rejected is inspiring in itself. He pitched the movie more than 150 times before anyone even paid attention.
Rocky’s memorable script is full of motivational quotes. Let’s look at some great Rocky quotes that can inspire anyone to turn their dreams into reality.
