Settle a debate for me, Stickpage. What is the greatest training montage ever put to screen?

There are a lot of factors to consider here: inspiration, cultural impact, character development, etc. Balance them as you like.

Use whichever Rocky montage is your favourite. Rocky 3 is provided for your convenience.

Rocky (III):



___________

Mulan:

It stands to reason that you can also use any Mulan training montage.

I choose Mandarin:






Mulan wins btw. I mean, is it cheating if I use Jackie Chan? Rocky has like a bajillion movies

Now I love me some Rocky, but Mulan strikes home with me...
I vote Mulan.

Haven't actually watched Rocky before, but compared to Mulan, it shows the actual training bit of a 'training montage' much better than Mulan. In Mulan, they're bad and then they're just kinda great. The transition from bad to good is somewhat lacking, and so I'll vote for Rocky.

Also hey there Zed, haven't seen you around for a while.

Watched both, Mulan is better, though that may because I was always more familiar with it.

Team America has the best training montage.

Oh god, Team America. I remember there was this one scene where a guy was vomitting and crying at the same time. I dont know why, but i felt really sad at that scene.

Mulan's training had a much more feel to it. What am i doing, this thread is 2 weeks old..
