saspa 05/12/21 2:25:04 PM #1:	In fact I actually get (physically) upset if a movie doesn't have a training montage for a character and he's immediately good, I am visibly shaken if that ever happens. It's one of those tropes that you love to see, and eternally thankful to Rocky for starting it. --- https://imgur.com/0UFI0T9 <cite>saspa posted [p:953830188] in The traini...

moh82sy 05/12/21 2:44:06 PM #4:	The best one is from Rocky IV. Great music, and it shows how the 2 opponents are doing the same training but in different ways (one primitive, while the other using equipments supervised by specialists). --- https://imgur.com/nb9ziHT https://imgur.com/hETEkiY https://imgur.com/PEMycnp https://imgur.com/U3TyKmy <cite>moh82sy posted [p:953830857] in The traini...
