Apollo is an absolute warrior. No challenge that character won't get up for, even if it kills him. I love,"There is no tomorrow." And when he talks about getting old and retiring. "Man, I don't want to change, I like who I am." That is no bullshit, that is real. You can be the best, and people will forget like you hardly existed, and what you did wasn't so special. Where do we go when there is no more battles to get up for, just become a shadow of ourselves. Scary thought.
oh you mean in rocky 1....yeah that's the same thing that Ali used to say about himself, that he is different from other boxers, in that he has potential to become anything he wants to (even a rocket scientist) i.e besides being a boxer...
He didn't exactly say rocket scientist, he said something about wearing suit , tie and carrying a briefcase in one interview i remember. You have to remember Ali had a lot of self esteem...'I had handsome!' etc....
then again, maybe it' s got something to do with my brand of earpones, or my sony speakers, I'll check the warranty on them so I can get them repaired.
Apollo was the bomb, he was the man, his greatness is only closely touched by Clubber Lang. Seeing Apollo die hurt man, i was just a kid when i saw it, F*** it just being a movie.
I love the Rocky Films, and I really love Apollo, because they show that, even though he was the "villain" in the first film, he wasn't a bad man, he was a fighter, just like Rocky, and he had good character and decency.
From the time I saw him come out in those Red, White, and Blue shorts, I was like, THIS is the modern American hero, our own Prince Charming, who has none of the doubt and fear that Rocky has, he's confident, he's strong, he can't be beat! (but he was :( )
One of, if not THEE most engaging & dynamic characters in cinema history! Sly should have really made a spin off based on Apollo's background. Great Video!
Excellent. Apollo was a magnificent Ali-esque character, a brilliant contrast to Rocky. My opinion as a fight fan is that in his prime, Creed would have beaten everyone in Rocky's era. Rocky himslef is 0-1 with Apollo and would have been unlikely to beat him in his prime. Clubber Lang (Mr T) would have been defeated by Apollo's mobility, speed and balance as would Drago (without the steroids). Also, Apollo was a very hurtful puncher. How few dropped Rocky? If only real HW boxing was as good now!
Apollo and Hulk Hogan seems to be holding up better, physically than the other actors in the Rocky series. I think Drago is holding up pretty darn good too, these days.
there used to be a great mash up on youtube that somebody did of what an Apollo vs Clubber promo and fight would look like using thr Rocky clips. It was really good but it got deleted.
i guess the opponent really strong and hard was ivan drago...but the fight to much hard was with apollo creed in rocky 2, it was very difficult and hard-fought until the final round, it's very epic when rocky and apollo from the floor trying of stand up 'em
Correction but Chuck Wepner did not go the distance with Ali, he was knocked out in the 15th Round. Rocky Balboa did go the distance with Apollo Creed but lost on a split decision
i guess the opponent really strong and hard was ivan drago...but the fight to much hard was with apollo creed in rocky 2, it was very difficult and hard-fought until the final round, it's very epic when rocky and apollo from the floor trying of stand up 'em
this is a great video apollo creed was one of the greatest characters in the rocky series. He is probably one of the best adverseries that went against rocky. It is sad to see Apollo die in rocky 4. good video
I WAS ASKED WHO ROCKY BALBOA IS BASED ON IN REAL LIFE: Chuck Wepner was a club fighter who got to fight Muhammad Ali and went the distance.Joe Frazier just like Balboa lives in Philly and pounded meat Rocky Marciano was Italian-American and had a Jewish-American trainer just how Rocky Balboa was trained by Mickey Goldmill so Rocky Balboa is a combination of Wepner,Rocky Marciano,and Joe Frazier
Correction but Chuck Wepner did not go the distance with Ali, he was knocked out in the 15th Round. Rocky Balboa did go the distance with Apollo Creed but lost on a split decision
LOVE the video and the song makes me feel like I'm on the beacj myself running with Apollo his death was sad and it was weird that in the next two Rocky's Stallone never mentions what a close friend of his Apollo was. He talks about fighting him in the next two movies and that was it.
i think the carecther apollo creed was the best in the whole rocky movies, carl played him great, it's a shame he they killed him in the rocky 4 movie, and now carl looks really old, it's wierd how people changee
I would of thought Apollo was Ali, Clubber was Frazier,Drago was Foreman(Think Rumble In The Jungle),Rocky is a cross between Chuck Wepner & Marciano, Tommy Gunn is Tyson, Storm is Lennox Lewis
Ain't that obvious? He only lost his title to Rocky because he refused to get a easy victory by split decision. Instead, he fought like a true heavyweight champion and tried the knockout until the last moment.
apollo creed gotta love his character in the rocky's. only wish he was there in rocky balboa to feature in the closing film, as his personality helped light up the opening film rocky I
rocky beat him by one second because he landed one second before creed on the mat, therefore rocky had the advantage of one sec...load of crap lol but anyway worth mentioning.
I agree man. Apollo Creed give these Rocky films the extra ummm they needed. Apollo Creed is great!! He had a bigger screen presence that Sylvester Stallone. He shouldn't have died in Rocky 4. His career kinda symbolized that moment also.
