this is one of my most favorite scenes in any movie, ever
Ironic that the movie implies Drago was juiced when Stallone was in real life.

obviously. it would be better to find the best blue vs white video other than this one.
Drago's gadgets and training methods certainly seem "white" collar.
But I don't really see a connection between the USSR/communism and "white" collar. Kind of the opposite?
Yeah, really blue collar versus red collar.
It's the contrast between Soviet central planning and free-wheeling American capitalism.
I'll give Ritz a dollar if on the starting line he turns to an African and says, "I must break you."

It would be better if he had an exchange with the media that went like this:
Media: Ritz, Ritz, what's your prediction for the race?
Ritzenhein: My prediction? For the race? (Growls) PAIN!
Perception was USSR had more advanced training because athletes were selected by, and trained by, the national government and all expenses were paid by the government. So these devices were available to Drago, although as heavyweight champ they would have been available to Rocky too. But I think Rocky wanted to try to get back to basics and refocus on the hard work that got him where he was.
