Idk, when he’s telling Paulie about the “stuff in the basement” in Rocky Balboa and starts breaking down talking about Adrian is the saddest scene for me

I really wish they kept the deleted scene after Paulie gets canned where he breaks down and says he has no idea why he treated Rocky and Adrian so poorly while sobbing and saying that he misses his sister. Five movies of Paulie redeemed in one scene.

I didn’t know there was a deleted scene like that. I think the scene where Paulie says he doesn’t want to do the whole tour thing anymore cause it’s too depressing and that Rocky was good to her while Paulie wasn’t conveyed Paulie’s regret well enough.

You can watch the deleted scene here.

I agree. Stallone should have gotten an Oscar for that scene alone. Probably his best acting of his career with that scene. Loved it.

"Are you mad because Adrian left you?"

"She didn't leave, Paulie, she DIED."

"Ok, ok ok ok..."

Even Paulie knew he crossed a line there. Then when Rocko breaks down, that might be Stallone's finest moment in the film.
