Watch Rocky and Drago Fight in Deleted CREED II Scene
When Rocky fans learned that Dolph Lundgren would return as Drago in Creed II, we wondered if we would get to see them fight again. Unfortunately, there was no scene in the movie where we got to see Rocky and Drago fight, but they did shoot a scene where they did fight that was ultimately cut from the film!
Sylvester Stallone shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the deleted scene being shot on Instagram, and it came with the following note:
This was an early rehearsal for a short fight ROCKY was suppose to have with DRAGO in CREED 2 It took place in the hospital just after Adonis had been terribly beaten by Drago’s son… Adonis Is in much pain and tells me to leave ... Drago And the promoter show up with filmcrew ! They were planning on going upstairs to harass the beaten fighter but ROCKY stops them !!! It would’ve been extraordinary!, But regretfully it was cut ... Pity
Yeah, that seems like it would have been a heavy and emotional moment. I can see why they ended up cutting it, but at the same time, I would have loved to see the scene included in the movie.
