I know that ‘You dumb kids’ is about the silly things you thought about movies as a child. However I’d like to introduce a twist to this concept. This tale features a man in his thirties who might be the dumbest kid ever. Let me explain.
I was talking to a friend about my favourite films. The conversation went like this:
Me: “Do you like Rocky 4?”
Him: “Is that the one where he fights the robot?”
Me: “What the fuck?”
Him: “Yeah he fights a big Russian robot.”
Me: “Why do you think he’s a robot?”
Him: “There’s a bit in the film where someone says ‘he’s a machine!’ and he’s always connected up to wires and shit.”
There you have it, a grown man who thinks that Ivan Drago was an android due to one throwaway line that’s obviously not supposed to be taken literally. I think I broke his heart a little when I explained this to him. Sometimes it’s nice to have a little magic and whimsical imagination in your life—even if you’re a 31 year old man idiot.

I wonder what he thinks Brigitte Nielsen is.

Wait… he wasn’t an android?? I just watched this during a Rocky Christmas marathon and I’m sure I remember a scene where Paulie sneaks into Drago’s locker room dressed up like Natasha from Bullwinkle and frashizzles out one of Drago’s transistors with his lit cigar.
Maybe I was watching the Irish version.

No he wasnt but Adrian was. She died during Rocky 3 but was brought back as an android to give Rocky something to fight for. Even after all these years it still makes me cry 😥

This friend of yours should probably start wearing a helmet, at all times. He’s got to protect what precious few brain cells he has left.
