RIP Apollo Creed

[HanSenSE]

Looked the part even then.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

How realistic is it for Craig T Nelson playing an auto executive to hold his own against Carl Weathers in a fight?

 

[hondo]

Rocky is just one in a large grouping of movies that I’ve never seen.

No cable in your cave, huh?

 

[hondo]

That scene in Rocky IV where Creed dies absolutely had a crushing effect on 10-year old me. Great piece of cinema. So 80s.

Carl Weathers also was in Terminator. RIP

One minute you're dancing on the stage with James Brown, the next minute you're dead. I still crank that Brown song once in awhile.

Rocky is one of the great cheesiest love stories ever told.

 

[DanOregon]

Not exactly sure what audience they were seeking in this main title - but I watched it - mainly because it was filmed in Oakland.

 

[Huggy]

Morrison was, and had a decent career. Light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver was also Rocky's main opponent in "Rocky Balboa."
Not sure either looked the part as much as Carl Weathers did.

He looked the part of a heavyweight champion more than the man who ruled the division at that time, Larry Holmes, did. (Not to mention the blimps that followed him like Tim Witherspoon, Tony Tubbs, James Broad and others.)

Randal “Tex” Cobb had the hardest head of anybody Holmes whooped. .

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Minoso Torres wiped the floor with him, tho.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

Randal “Tex” Cobb had the hardest head of anybody Holmes whooped. .

"Get away from the door."

 

[garrow]

The pinnacle of his career

Casablanca
Forrest Gump

[Shropshire Slasher]

Tyson-Holmes was fought at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. Just saying.

When “Titanic” finally came to the small, two screen downtown theater in the small town where I lived in 1998, the best thing about the movie was hearing other dudes forced into seeing it start to cheer as the boat began to sink.

It meant the movie was almost over.

I mean, in 1998 or whatever year that was, you had the Kate Winslet drawing/car scenes and propeller guy. That's more unintentional "entertainment" than most movies provided in that era.

Tyson-Spinks at Convention Hall, which was also owned by Smelley.

Titanic is worth it the first time.

The second time you're ready to switch the channel in 10 minutes.

It wasn’t until a year or two ago that I found out the cook guy who was hanging on the end of the ship with Leo and Kate and who took one last swig of liquor was actually based on a real cook who survived the sinking.

The real guy decided that since he was going to die, he might as well get drunk. He just stepped off the ship when it went down, never got his head wet, paddled around for a bit, and found one of the collapsible lifeboats.

He said he'd fight Holmes again if it would get Cosell off Monday Night Football.

 

[poindexter]

I had completely forgotten about his great turn in Arrested Development.

He had a great comedic mind, and didn't want to rehash Rocky bits.
