This sure hits different now - RIP the legendary Mr Carl Weathers 😢
it really does.like an upper cut from a legend.
He was a phenomenal actor that poured his all into his characters he played. What a real legend.
He left his legacy in the film, and now, he left his legacy on Earth. Carl Weathers, I hope you're doing well boxing in heaven!
Carl Weathers portrayed the role of Apollo Creed flawlessly. Underrated actor. He should have won best supporting actor in Rocky lll.
Heath ledger- the joker. Carl weathers- Apollo Creed. Perfect actors. Right guys for it.
Qp@Kenneth Carrier
Agreed
@Kenneth Carrier APOLLO CREED CAME BACK AS ACTION JACKSON
@Kenneth Carrier BUT THROUGH VIDEO RENTALS & POP CULTURE THE CHARACTER GREW TO A HERO
Why do I always cry during Rocky movies? Always...
Because in my humble opinion this is what life is about to friends become so close so competitive they loved each other so much and they wanted each other to be their best the best of everything it's okay because I cry too
Me too! I always tear up watching legends.
Because you get it. I do the same.
... Always !!
Same here. The music gives me goosebumps too
If you are a true Rocky fan, you can't help but love this tribute. It is an excellent video. I hope Carl Weathers sees this somehow.
I agree.
Carl weathers has always been the criminally underrated second man to the movie hero. He deserved his own platform a long time ago. I hope as well that Carl knows he always gave much beloved characters, not only Creed.
In heaven bro ❤
I hope heaven has you tube 😂
This is one of the best tribute to Carl Weathers .
The Rocky series taught me that you keep going for your dream no matter what, but having someone there who believes in you helps.
said.
weathers was exceptional as creed. He was electric, charismatic and owned every scene he was in.
Panatella no one could do it better- great champion
Panatella Carl Weathers made Apollo the character into a reality.
Damn straight
Unlike that bum michael b jordan, weathers had flair
@@slau330 as rocky said in rocky 1 when the bartender called Apollo a clown, "that guy took his chance and now hes the champ, what chance you ever take"... only bum i see is your sorry ass...
Carl Weathers was tailor-made for the role of Apollo Creed. I heard that at one time, they wanted Ken Norton for the part. Frankly, I'm so glad that they stuck with Weathers, who's such a great actor in all of the "Rocky" films. This was a great tribute. Long live Apollo Creed!
Glad they got Carl Weathers as well. Ken Norton Sr was a great boxer, but a lousy actor.
RIP CARL WEATHERS AKA APOLLO CREED!
Rest in peace Carl weathers you were the eye of the 🐯
Rest in peace. The great one
Carl Weathers was just absolutely Awesome, he most definitely had the Wow factor about him!!
Whoever edited this SHOULD BE AWARDED!
It's Brilliant.
beautiful edit
pro tip : you can watch series at Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Harrison Westley yea, have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself =)
@Harrison Westley Definitely, I've been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :D
@Harrison Westley Yup, I have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself :D
24:45 Duke in a panic at yelling "THROW THE DAMN TOWEL!".The way his voice beaks like he's crying absolutely kills me every time.
331Grabber Drago wouldn’t have stop even if he through the towel. He wanted the KO
R. I. P. to both Apollo and his trainer and manager Tony (both the character and the actor.)
Apollo was like a son to Duke.
@@3912James I would love to see an apollo origins story ! Since creed was such a hit it's time! The rocky universe is as vital as it was 40 years ago. The other thing about rocky is it's a movie u watch with family. My parents went on their first date to see rocky. When I met my future husband in college we had a rocky marathon shortly after we met. Now my husband is gonna watch it with our son. This is as generational a movie as star wars only creed ko's the new trilogies.
@@natalieps2387 underrated reply/idea. There DEFINITELY should be an Apollo Creed prequel. THIS is what the world wants.
I named my son after Apollo. Biggest reasons why, What he did for Rocky in 3 and he died a warriors death. He choose death over dishonor.
Name your second son Paulie lol
@@slau330 We're looking at adoption in the future. That is a possibility though.
I don't know if orphaned children who are up for adoption are already named or keep their original name ( perhaps it wouldn't matter with newborns or really young children who aren't old enough to respond to someone calling their name). If you end up adopting a girl who is young enough for you to name ( You already have a son... that kid will benefit big time by having a younger sister so he can learn to respect her as well as get down with all her friends lol) If you end up adopting a girl, without a doubt you have to name her......ADRIAN!!!!!
Bwahahaha!!! Apollo and Adrian, your kids would be instantly popular at any high school.
Name your second son adonis
@@slau330 no paulie lmao
Apollo Creed was the most entertaining character brought to the big screen by Carl Weathers in the whole series.
Whoever put this together...pure genius im sure if Creed was still here he would have enjoyed this video
Carl Weathers is a natural pro-athlete who played in both the NFL and CFL.
Wow, I never knew that. What an athlete!🤔👍
For the Oakland Raiders.
Was he ever a boxer? He looks a natural boxer far more so than Stallone or Mr T did.
@@johncohen222 He is a natural athlete. He probably also did boxing.
I did not know that but it doesn't surprise me..
Reporter: You have anything derogatory to say about the champ ?
Rocky : Yeah he's great
The best series of movies ever love rocky as the underdog him and Adrian came full circle yo rocky you did it
Beautiful video. Carl Weathers played this role perfectly, they don't make actors like him anymore. Rocky 3 is certainly my favorite...
I love all the rockys ,did you know rocky 1 was set as a love story set around boxing ,in rocky 1 theres only 12 minutes of actual boxing in the whole movie 👊👊
Rocky 2 is the most emotional Rocky film.
I agree my father was a little racist back when this was released, but he loved Carl beyond belief, and so do I.!
Rocky three was my coming of age movie, I was 12
BRILLIANT ACTOR
Carl Weathers!
The Role Of A Lifetime and Mr. Weathers talent rose to the occasion.
☆☆☆☆☆
Yes!
Everyone in the first two movies was wonderful. Yes, the story is great. But, everyone brought their A-games to the performance.
Facts
Lightning fast, hard to catch, just business, the real Apollo Creed!
It deserves 10k likes...
Without apollo there wud no Rockys legacy.
Carl 's physique is fenomenal !!! Also the guy looks very lovable ! Much respect !!!
In Predator too
Loved Apollo Creed. Best character in the series and his fighting style was so smooth and ruthless at the same time. I don’t know who taught Carl Wearhers to box like that but it was gorgeous. The graceful movement, the sudden powerful jabs, the ruthless combinations… you could buy the fact that Creed is the greatest.
Look like he took the style from Ali and Sugar Ray and meshed them together
@@hasheemparker3018 Reminds me more of a mix of Ali and Holmes.
APPOLO CREED🏆GREAT STYLE
COMBINED WITH AMAZING MOVES
SMART STRONG PUNCHES🎇💪
@@Camcolito Id say Clubber is more Larry Holmes.
Mo❤️🥊😷🏆
Carl Weathers Is A Great Actor As Apollo Creed I Was Crying When He Died In Rocky IV ❤
Me too
Same here I did cry too when Apollo Creed died from Rocky 4.
Me too! And to this day i cant stand to watch his death scene💔😭😭😭😭
Stallone regrets killing him off
watched Rocky IV numerous times, and when it always gets to that scene, i cry too, just like the Mickey scene when he died
Rocky 1 2 3 4,classic Sat up in the early hours couldn't sleep started watching all the fights brilliant choreography
Sadness is we born in that era where these legends are old and we can't witness more such legendary works 💔 let's pray for their good 🙏
Can't imagine anyone else as Apollo Creed.
No matter how many times you watch these films and know it word for word they never lose that magic to still entertain you. That’s the sign of a true classic movie. Modern filmmakers need to learn from these films that it’s not about the special effects but the actors. If you don’t believe in the actions of the actors the film means nothing.
AS a true Rocky fan to the heart thanks very touching a true tribute too a true champion much love Apollo.
I know Stallone is a fine actor but in my estimation Carl Weathers carried the first two movies. He is a vastly underrated actor.
Although Carl was a good actor , i in NO WAY feel that he carried the 1st 2 films WHATSOEVER as Stallone actually wrote them . I also do not think he was a vastly under rated actor as his previous films and any he was involved w after Rocky sucked ass for proof .
I disagree. ROCKY was an ensemble cast that all contributed significantly. Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith, Talia Shire and Burt Young. Take any of them out of the film and it would've fallen apart. 5 exceptional actors in one of, if not, the best film ever made.
@@doublezero3338 Predator and Happy Gilmore did not suck!
54 assholes liked your rediculios comment. What type of peice of garbage would even think what you typed after watching that. Check yourself man.
@@doublezero3338 Action Jackson starred him and it was great.
In my opinion Apollo was the coolest ever!
Same
The Rocky Franchise are my favorite movies of all time…thanks to the person who put this together… I loved Apollo’s character…so much as i child when i first watched Rocky 4 i cried when Apollo died…loved that character so much i plan to name my son Apollo after him. I hope i dont seem crazy if i do who cares…Lol
Carl Weathers is awesome! An awesome athlete and an awesome actor....
Facts
I always wanted to see more of Apollo’s house. So badass for its time
That was actually Muhammad Ali’s mansion in L.A. at the time.
When he's in the pool in 4 ? Or when he's reading the hate mail in 2 ?
Without Apollo the series would have suffered, Carl i mean.
Apollo Creed in Rocky 2 & 3 was easily my favorite character. Not only did he have the perfect build for the character, but his acting chops completely sold it. Everything about him felt so believable it was insane. In my honest opinion, he is the closest thing to a Shakespearean character during this era of film.
Apollo Creed was an epic character, Carl Weathers an AMAZING actor!
Hell yeah and that's a Fact.
This is absolutely phenomenal.
This is gold, Caesar!
How did you beat Apollo ? Time beat him it beats everybody. Time is undefeated! That's a true fact and something I will always remember.
Im too freaking old to be crying like this. That was absolutely awesome. My favorite part, and this speaks to Stallone and writer's greatness, was the detail of the story, in particular when Apollo lost in the 2nd movie. I recall George Foreman living the ring after the loss to Ali in " The Rumble." The look on his face was THE same one on Apollo's face at the end of the 2nd movie.
I've been a fan of this franchise since 1977. It never disappoints. The tribute to Mickey ( Burgess Meredith) was amazing. This one was better with the "Creed" movie tie-ins. Only one other tv show or movie has ever brought this kind of emotion out of me and that was "Six Feet Under." It was so real. This whole "Rocky" thing feels like we're seeing it all through "uncle Rocky's" eyes. That poor bastard. Lost the two men who meant the most to him, Mickey and Apollo, then his wife, and he son moves away. We say we watch movies to escape, but that's as real as it gets.
Again, this was awesome. There's one more movie left. Rocky touched Donnie's glove at the end of "Creed II." We all know what's next. Wow.
Carl is a very good actor but he was underestimated. Apollo was one of the most successful works he played. I really like Carl. Whoever did this would deserve to see Carl too!
Damn!! One of the finest series of tribute videos, OF ANY KIND, fictional characters or not, that I have ever seen. Period. End of story. Mickey. Tony. And whoever comes in future tributes.
Deadasjuliuscaesar, you've done these characters proud!
Please keep up the good work!!
Sylvester Stallone may have been the star of the Rocky movies as Rocky Balboa, but Carl Weathers was just as vital in the legendary franchise as Apollo Creed in the process:-)!!!!
Ahhh that's up for debate. He was good but vital to the process the same as Sly I would say negative
@@gary9182 You're entitled to your opinion Gary because "an opinion is like a nose" in which everybody has one right???? 🙂🙃🙂🙃!!!! But you have to think Rocky had to fight Apollo twice (in "Rocky" and "Rocky II") in order to beat Apollo to win the world heavyweight title along with the fact Apollo "came to Rocky's rescue" in "Rocky III" after Rocky lost the crown to Clubber Lang (Mr. T) the first time around and Mickey passing away to train him. As a result, Rocky gained "The Eye of the Tiger" back during training for the rematch and defeated Clubber to regain the heavyweight crown courtesy of Apollo (along with Apollo's faithful trainer Duke 🙃🙂🙃🙂!!!!). Regrettably, Ivan Drago killed Apollo in "Rocky IV". But luckily, Rocky avenged Apollo's demise by kicking Drago's sorry ass in Drago's backyard of Russia 🤣😂🤣😂!!!! Although Apollo's physical structure no longer exist throughout the Rocky movies, if it hadn't been for Apollo's passing in "Rocky IV" his illegitimate son's (Adonis Creed as portrayed by Michael B. Jordan) story probably never would've been told in "Creed" and "Creed II". No doubt Sylvester Stallone is the ultimate star of the Rocky movies (and maybe the Creed movies as well), but it can't be denied how Carl Weathers' influence on both franchises are significant and valid as a whole 🙃🙂🙃🙂!!!!
Still Not as Vital period. Your opinion is your opinion and you are entitled to it. The movie isn't called Rocky and Creed it's called Rocky. Everything you said has some truth to it but the movie plain and simple was about the man's struggle not about who or what he struggled against. If you think Creed is just as Vital as Rocky than you must believe Pauly and Adrian are as well. The fact is Rocky Sylvester Stallone is the most vital role to the franchise
@@gary9182 I see we're going to have to "agree to disagree" on this subject Gary 🤣😂🤣😂!!!! Like we both agree on, Sylvester Stallone is without a shadow of a doubt the ultimate star of the Rocky (and maybe Creed) movies. The movies are about the trials and tribulations of the man from Philly (like myself 🙃🙂🙃🙂!!!!) who overcame them all while becoming the greatest underdog in the history of sports movies which is why (at least the first six anyway 🤣😂🤣😂!!!!) the movies are called "Rocky" and NOT "Creed" like you mentioned in your return message. But Carl Weathers played a great supporting role (along with Talia Shire, Burt Young, Burgess Meredith, and Tony Burton) in the first four Rocky movies as an adversary in "Rocky" and "Rocky II" and as a buddy in "Rocky III" and (briefly) in "Rocky IV". As I'm pretty sure we'll both agree on, "Rocky V" was by far the worst Rocky movie out of the entire franchise. But Sly rebounded greatly from the "Rocky V" disappointment with his performance as "The Italian Stallion" in "Rocky Balboa", "Creed", and "Creed II". He was terrific in the last three movies I just mentioned as the legendary Rocky Balboa while hoping and praying he'll change his mind to appear in "Creed III" which is scheduled to hit movie theaters Thanksgiving 2022.
@@gary9182 Pauly and Adrian are both vital, to Rocky's growth, while being introduced to the world of boxing Apollo Creed on a championship level.
Nicely done. The entire cast of Rocky-the surviving actors-would be PROUD of this compilation!
Carl Weathers was perfect for the role of Apollo Creed. It's almost like the role was created with him in mind.
Nice editing. Almost like a Reader's Digest version of the entire Rocky/Creed saga. Well done.
he's. still. alive. jumping. out. his. skin. rip. 34:21
This is brilliant. Tying the Apollo story from the original Rocky’s to the Creed Movies
"I've retired more men than Social Sah-cur-rity" !
What's up Superman
“I thought you said be cool...”
“That was cool!!”
Brilliant editing of old and new movies to recreate the story
I'm not ashamed to admit it but i shed a tear at the end of the video, excellent job
Did the same
I definitely did too
Me as well
It's disgusting that you have to say.. "I'm not ashamed to admit it" .....
1980s Carl Weathers whips ASS!!! Wish I could live this decade over again knowing what I know now.
You are not the only one...
😤😤😤😤😤
Actually that was the 70s.
@@realdealnealcrook8940 he also had some big roles in 80s as well besides Rocky in 76 and Rocky 2 in 79 he was in Rocky 3 in 82, Rocky 4 in 85, Predator in 87 and Action Jackson in 88.
This was beautiful and beautifully done. On behalf of all fans , thank you!
Every time I see Rocky get knocked down in the 14th round of the first Creed/Balboa fight, I will always remember being a very young man in the Lefferts Theater in Queens watching this drama unfold. I will always remember a theater full of young boys and teenagers SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS for Rocky to get up. We recognized, even if unconsciously, that Rocky would rather die than quit. These movies are great to watch and learn lessons from. At least for me.
Nah not just for you,for many people.Whenever I feel choked up by my issues and problems I hear micky yelling get up you son of bitch.
That's what made Rocky 2 so awesome.I was about 8 years old.I always couldn't understand why Rocky didn't win the first fight.carl weather's played appolo Creed to perfection totally convincing like he was actually him the person.
CLAIRE SOR AVEC JETAIME OUI 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I feel you.... and even today when both Rocky and Apollo fall I get the same feeling like I'm watching it for the very first time. I grew up watching the Rocky movies with my Daddy who now has dementia and doesn't know who I am... Rocky movies bring me close to him...
@@TugaQueen My mom passed away a few years back. She had dementia, too, but at least you have a beautiful memory of him with you watching these movies. Towards the end she didn't know who I was either. Treasure that time together.
If Apollo Creed have listened to Rocky Balboa he would be still alive.
Wow great editing and putting the two stories of Apollo and Adonis Creed together!
It always takes me back to my childhood, I miss those days 😢. Great job! Thank you!!!
ROCKY was an a absolutely brilliant film,...and Carl weathers was perfect as the brash , cocky and over confident champ Apollo creed,...films of the 1970s had a gritty realism, that sadly lack in modern films,...
Poor Apollo had all the success in the world, nice house , nice family but his own pride costed
him his life
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
@@joesoto690 No that's not bullshit. His pride literally killed him.
THAT'S HOW IT STARTS
@@kennethlucas7473 TIME TAKES EVERYONE OUT IT'S UNDEFEATED!
Going deeper....Apollo's fear of becoming irrelevant in the eyes of the sports world (due to Father Time) cost him his life.
Its very smart the way you put this documentary together. Keep it up
It’s crazy how in the Rocky movies, Rocky and Apollo didn’t like each other but then they became best friends.
I like that you added the outtake of Rocky and Drago in the hospital.Excellent work
Epic! Never been made a better tribute than this. It is eternal even the time can not beat it.
This was fantastic!!! I loved and enjoyed every single second of this. Take a bow my friend you've done the Rocky franchise proud.
This brought tears to my eyes.
Awesome
RIP Apollo Creed AKA Carl Weathers 🌹🥀💐
RIP MARY ANN CREED
I absolutely loved this!
Killing off Apollo Creed was the worst mistake they ever made throughout the entire Rocky franchise!
Why
Because he had so much more character development ahead of him. Besides, we saw rocky and Apollo in more movies together as rivals than friends and I really like seeing them as friends!
Goosebumps, tears in my eyes, wow. Just wow! Fantastic job, thank you.
That was beautiful,I'm in tears here. Such a fitting tribute to Carl Weathers,you will never be forgotten. 😢
Brother, the way you edited this is fkn BEAUTIFULLY done!
Perfect editing, perfect cut, perfect voice overs which sets up perfect emotions on the viewer. You sir definitely deserve all the views and likes you got, Thank you.
10:44 “Yo Creed !” Gets me every time.
What the hell are you hearing?
He said, "Your're great".
winton3377 what everyone else heard. Go back and watch the fight. “Yo Creed !”
Amazing video! Very good job editing and mixing and adding flashbacks etc. Saving this for my workout playlist.
Great job man great job . The whole story from Apollos sight. Can call it Apollo instead Rocky. Many tears while watching this, big fan thanks.
They could make a movie about Apollo Creed and name the movie "Apollo."
yes
Indeed
Nicely done. I would think that Carl Weathers approves.
Watched this again cant stop crying so good
Indeed
Absolutely the best Actor. Carl you did great!!!! I love you in Predator!
You made Rocky!
Absolutely fantastic video👍👍👊👊 one of the best I've seen!!
I always felt that Apollo Creed should've gotten his own standalone movie, maybe for CREED III, since it's all about the Creed Legacy, instead of a sequel they could do a prequel that'd show how Apollo Creed came up through the ranks becoming the greatest fighter ever. Just my opinion though, it'd be badass to see then roll on with CREED IV set back in modern day to close it all out.
I like that idea. A prequel showing how creed won the title
earthsurgery 123 Maybe we could see how and why he and Clubber Lang became rivals
On behalf of all true Rocky fans Thankyou for this. 🙏🏽🥊 Rest in Power Carl you are a true legend x
I've been a fan all my life. Ive only recently watched Creed 1 and 2. This video tribute is excellent. Perfectly sewn together. Nice work!
I like it. The publicity photo at the end was very cool.
Masterpiece right here!!! Loved it!!! Added it to the playlist!!!💯💯💯💪💪💪
Outstanding tribute!
Thanks!
I love Carl Weathers! Great actor and icon- one of my favorites !
RIP CARL WEATHERS...I was looking for this specific video all day (the other day) glad i found it!
I have all of these films. I💘every last 1 of them. I very happy for both Sly & Carl . Thank you for sharing this video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is officially up there with that Rocky franchise retrospective video from 2016. This is amazing, thank you for this 😎
Stallone would b proud of this video well done is brilliant loved it
Fantastic..thank you so much
Awesome editing....👏🏼
THAT was BEAUTIFULLY DONE! As a huge fan of Rocky growing up, that was a wonderful compilation. Bravo!
Carl Weathers just passed on. Bless him and his. Keep punching Apollo!
Uve outdone urself man .. this is absolutely amazing
I thought you said be cool? That was cool!
That was fantastic very well put together I enjoyed it very much thank you.
This Rocky thing had me crying all day.
Excellent edit. Thank you.
