Sylvester Stallone Ends the Cold War With One Montage.

How do you think the Cold War ended?  If you read history books, which I am clearly against, then you think it is when Russia collapsed and Reagan stood there like a conquering hero.   Well, you're wrong.

The truth is that the Cold War ended in 1985 when Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed Rocky IV.  Rocky had to defend the death of Apollo Creed against a gigantic Soviet beast, otherwise know as Capt. Ivan Drago, played by Dolf Lundgren.

What happens in this training scene montage will captivate your great grand children when they watch this on some sort of 3-D mechanism that will actually let them alter the outcome of history like a time-machine of some sorts.

Sorry about that rant. 

Back to the training scene.  John Cafferty's "Hearts on Fire" is perfect for this montage, strictly because the opening note is amazing.  Just listen.  Baaaaaaeeeeeewwwwww.  I don't know what instrument that is but I'd like to get one and learn how to play that note over and over again.

The theme of the montage is to show how these two men train in such different ways.  Rocky trains in a shed during the middle of winter with a phenomenal beard, while Drago has all the trainers, hi-tech equipment and more steroids than Barry Bonds or A-Rod could dream of.  You try and tell me that steroids weren't prevalent in every major sport during the 80s.  Sly Stallone pretty much proved this to be true with this movie.  So no more saying, "Oh, I didn't know what I was taking."

How much do you think Adrian loves Rocky in this clip?  I mean look at the physical specimen that he is.  I think there are more things on fire than her heart.  Plus look at Drago's woman.   Look familiar.  That's right.  Before she was a disgusting pig with Flavor Flav, Brigitte Nielsen was smoking hot.  But now look at her.  Whew.  

I urge every man to watch this right before you head to the gym.  It will give you the ability to lift 10 times the amount that you could the day before.  If this doesn't work then just take steroids like the Soviet cheater.

This montage has it all.  Great song.  Good-looking women.  Two men, who in just a few scenes, are going to dismantle each other in front of the world and bring an end to the Cold War. 

Thank you Sylvester Stallone, and thank you montage.
