I never realized how much I appreciated Apollo Creed until Carl Weather died... Now that you mention it, my fav part was always when he tried to jump out of his wheelchair to fight Rocky, while he was in HIS wheelchair.

Carl Weathers did play football prior to acting so he already had that natural athletic aura which lends the character of Creed some authenticity.

@jasonvoorhees5640 That’s true, even though you can get a just as dangerous fight in wwe if they really want to put the hurt on the opponent. What happens is in boxing you can’t sign off on the floor, if the boxers doesn’t put on the fight for their life the fans will be angry and the lose credibility and get a hard time fighting credible opponents. 12 round war and somebody gets knocked out in the last second makes everybody happy.

My oldest brother Mike passed away four years ago at 49 from Alzheimer’s. He lived his life with Down Syndrome and was kind to everyone he met. The Rocky movie series was arguably his favorite, and I have many fond memories of watching these with him. He’ll always be the greatest person I’ll ever know and I miss him tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks Rummy for this awesome tribute to Carl Weathers. You’re channel is top notch and you put your heart into it. RIP Carl and my brother Mike. God bless.

Carl Weathers was one of those folks whose name I knew, but I didnt realize how much of a part of my life he was until news broke of his passing. All I was, was a consumer of some of his content - but that content was pivotal in my own upbringing as well. I feel real emotion knowing that he's gone. This is a good video showcasing his most memorable roles. Thanks Rummy!

I hope Mr. Weathers is looking down and smiling on how elegant and touching of a tribute u produced. No other actor could have brought the charisma, energy, or depth. Carl Weathers's portrayal of Apollo Creed is the perfect example of bringing a character to life and because of that, Apollo Creed will be forever memorialized as one of the great boxing heroes in the history of cinema.

@Rummy's Corner I always thought that "Eye of the Tiger" meant having no fear. In both Rocky 1 and Rocky 2, Apollo was fighting his fears. His first sign of fear appeared once he was sent to the canvas in round #1 of the first fight. The whole rematch stuff including the rematch itself allowed us to see the best version of Apollo, BUT he was still fighting his fears. i mean, instead of listening to his corner before the 30th and final round, he preferred gambling than playing it safe. He wanted to close the show because he feared being ridiculized by the media or at least in his own mind for not getting the stoppage against Rocky, especially after being prepared that perfectly... In Rocky 3, Rocky's fears is what made him lose the first fight vs Clubber Lang. He was not there mentally... In the rematch vs Lang, he was ready for anything mentally. He didn't have any fear and that's EXACTLY what INTIMIDATED Clubber Lang, causing him to do too much and ultimately get gassed while Rocky was recharging, but yeah in the hell of a fight. Any thoughts?

Great tribute. Rocky 2 was my introduction to boxing in a similar way to you. Even today, the way Apollo fights is the way i secretly believe all boxers should fight. He had a great 1-2. My younger self took years to re-watch Rocky IV after the first viewing because i was so traumatised by Apollo's death. Worse than when Goose died! RIP Apollo. As an aside, glad you mentioned Rocky learning to swim in what must be a week. Classic 80s nonsense that we just accepted because it was the 80s. Good times.

I had the the Rocky films on VHS as a kid, and wore them out from how many times I watched them. Fell in love with the franchise and been a huge fan ever since. Like Rummy, I too had a soft spot for Rocky III, as it played a huge role in me getting into boxing as well. Weathers was perfect in the role of Apollo Creed, and in my opinion the films don’t become what they did without him and his masterful portrayal. His character taught me several life lessons that stuck with me. RIP champ 🥊❤
