Got our "CREED II" from Amazon yesterday, and didn't have time to watch the MOVIE again yet but we watched the SECOND disc...the "Special Features." WOW.
In case you can't read them from the artwork above, the "Special Features" are as follows...
1.) "FATHERS AND SONS"
2.) CASTING VIKTOR DRAGO
3.) THE WOMEN OF CREED II
4.) DELETED SCENES
and 5.) THE ROCKY LEGACY (not in that order.)
SPOILER ALERT (Wait, do you even need to SAY "Spoiler Alert" regarding "Special Features"?? Lol)
1.) The Deleted Scenes are amazing, ESPECIALLY when Rocky is eulogizing Spider Rico.
2.) Real-life former boxer SUGAR RAY LEONARD and real-life ring announcer MICHAEL BUFFER appear in the Special Features, and were terrific.
3.) The "Rocky Legacy" Special Feature appears to TOTALLY DISOWN "Rocky V."
Only Rocky 1-4 are identified, at the end, as part of the "Rocky Legacy." Is this because Stallone just didn't LIKE "Rocky V"?? (Could be....that's why he made "Rocky Balboa.") Or, is it because his son SAGE and real-life boxer TOMMY MORRISON, both of whom had key roles in "Rocky V," died prematurely and tragically since the movie was made?? Personally, my wife and I thought "Rocky V" was great, but SOMEONE apparently doesn't like it, Lol!!
4.) EACH of the actors interviewed showed and SHARED a lot of insight as to what their character was thinking and feeling in the movie. One would never think that such intelligence could reside in actors from a BOXING movie!!
5.) DOLPH LUNDGREN (Ivan Drago) seemed to be the HOST of the "Special Features" and he was "perfect."
In Summary, the "Special Features" were just as inspiring for me as the actual MOVIE, but there were no sex scenes, profanity was limited to only ONE of the Deleted Scenes, and the "Special Features" are much SHORTER than the full movie (if you need a quick jolt of Motivation.) I'm glad I bought the movie WITH the "Special Features"!!
