Loved this scene. For me, Rocky 2 is the best of the series because of character development. Apollo isn't a villain. He's not evil. Just a highly driven boxer that wants to prove to America that the last fight was a fluke.
apollo was driven by pride in this film, which some Christians would say is one of THE WORST evils in existence. His pride shown throughout the Rocky story lead to his eventual downfall and death!!!!! With Stallone being a Christian, I'm wondering if he wrote the story to deliberately show how destructive pride can be, or if it was accidental!!!!! Either way, it was a touch of storytelling genius, in my book!!!!!
LOL, right. He trying so hard to get more motivation to destroy Rock, but Rock just isn't giving to him. Opollo need to get some Mr.T/Clubber Lang in him. Some Hi women, Hi women or don't give this Bum a statue. Give Him Guts! Bum fighting other Bums.
Actually on the contrary Rocky being so cordial and polite and joking around is what's really setting Apollo off!! Apollo wants everyone to know he's the best and here comes this journeyman who's not even top ranked, gives him the fight of his life and then comes in all casual for this press conference like it's a light-hearted friendly get together while Apollo is taking this ultra seriously to defend his reputation and be all business. In a way you kind of can't blame him for getting upset.
Apollo was a gentleman. He got heated with Drago too, except this time when he walks off with Rocky, he asks how he did. It's clearly all a show. He doesn't mean it.
i feel like this part where Rocky starts listing all the stuff he'll buy and Apollo sees him as this goofy down to earth chill dude is when their friendship started, he almost had to force himself to still be angry at him after that

Exactly. Apollo needed Rocky to be mad for two reasons: 1- He needed to know that Rocky was emotional so he could exploit it 2- He needed to be mad at Rocky because he knew his own skill wasn't enough to defeat him.

RIP Carl Weathers... What an iconic actor!! I always felt that if anyone could play Muhammad Ali, it'd be him, hands down!! He's got the looks, the charm, the charisma, the eloquence, all of it!!!
There's something about the way Stallone talks about the things he's gonna buy that feels so human, it feels very improv with the way Mickey reacts even the laughs sound like they were from the camera crew. But I don't mean that in a bad way, it's incredibly charming.
The fact that the normally loud and feisty Mickey was silent and smiling for this scene tells me he was TOTALLY IN ON ROCKY'S MIND GAMES BEING PLAYED AGAINST APOLLO FOR THIS CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!
STEJTHEGREATEST I don't think Rocky was intentionally doing mind games. 😄 But I think Mick knew it would *look* that way, so he let Rocky continue to get Apollo's goat.
I love that usually it is Apollo bringing the circus to the table. But now, he is serious. He could always back it up before but now there was doubt, externally and internally. The worst part is that Rocky is humble, likeable and unintentionally making people laugh. It is almost like Rocky is not taking him seriously though that is definitely not the case. It's a case of everything to lose vs everything to gain.
Amazing to think that eventually Rocky & Apollo would become good friends, best of friends. What a character arc on both their parts. And what a dynamic that existed between Rocky & Apollo, going from hostility to a warm, endearing friendship. Amazing!
I always liked watching the look on Creed's face when Rocky starts talking about the stuff he's going to buy with the money he earns from the fight (pay the rent, some Muppet toys, snowcone machine for Paulie, etc). It's like for a moment, Creed's expression softens, but then he has to remind himself that he's out to destroy this chump (but secretly, he likes him).
I love this movie, there’s no good or bad guy here, all internal conflict and to see who’s the best. You are given the option to choose who to cheer for.
The guy playing Apollo really sold this scene, you just don't see acting like this these days, a well written character portrayed believably and wonderfully.
DrJangoR9 Kazama Micky is Master Roshi. Quite honestly I think Apollo is Tien, he just wants to train hard and win. Paulie is Yajirobie. Tommy was the real Vegeta.
Apollo's acting, of course (the previous clip covered that). He knows that he has to play the villain, but he just wants to fight Rocky. A worthy challenger. No hard feelings either.
this is GREAT acting by both Stallone and Weathers. rocky appreciative of the rematch, all awe shucks & happy go lucky. all the while Apollo is absolutely SEETHING, especially next to Rocky seemingly making light of the situation. brilliant acting.
Say what you want about Apollo, but this was a real champion a real superstar, an attraction a draw. He had charisma and new how to sell a fight. Today we don't get that in boxing.
Paulie just liked saying "I don't sweat you". He said that here, repeated that in the ring to Thunderlips and once more to Apollo again in his old LA gym!
He's gonna have to donate what's left of his body to science.... Apollo was the quintessential trash talker. Weathers acting in these movies was straight phenomenal. How he didn't win best supporting actor is unfathomable.
R.I.P., Carl Weathers. I got a notification from the FOX News app on my phone around the time I went to lunch, today saying "Actor Carl Weathers of 'Predator', 'Rocky' & other various roles passes away at the age of 76.", or, something like that. I literally didn't believe it, at first. I saw the same thing, again when I was watching one of my world news programs on Newsmax, recently because it displayed something about it on the scroll on the bottom of the screen summarizing various news items. All I know is that his family said that he passed away in his sleep & no cause of death was given, yet--if any. Paulie & Mickey have since passed away, as well. Burt Young passed away in October of 2023 & Burgess Meredith passed away in September of 1997, I believe. Carl Weathers passed away, yesterday & why the news of it is coming out, now is beyond me. Be that as it may, it's a real shame... Carl Weathers passed away, too soon...
The first four Rocky films were fantastic... great characters that actually developed through the films. Simpler days it seemed. I watched Rocky III in Hong Kong with a mainly Chinese audience and everyone was cheering in the final fight. It was brilliant!
Loved this scene. For me, Rocky 2 is the best of the series because of character development. Apollo isn't a villain. He's not evil. Just a highly driven boxer that wants to prove to America that the last fight was a fluke.

he said rocky's going to punch his lungs out lol
Later Apollo kiss paulie
I like how Apollo is being very competitive while Rocky is just "I'll have a hot number two to go"
A hot number two to go. Sounds like a euphemism for taking a dump in a hurry
R.I.P. Carl Weathers, Burt Young, Burgess Meredith, And Tony Burton!
"Well, first I gotta pay the rent."
There's something about the way Stallone talks about the things he's gonna buy that feels so human, it feels very improv with the way Mickey reacts even the laughs sound like they were from the camera crew. But I don't mean that in a bad way, it's incredibly charming.
Rocky was so down to Earth in this scene! LOL!
The acting from Stallone here is phenomenal. Such an underrated actor.
RIP Carl Weathers, you will be missed. Under appreciated during his life, he was one of the best movie actors of his era.
Apollo: "No playin', no jivin', just business!"
Also Apollo: "Get your cameras ready! Watch this now! Watch this! He's going down! Here it comes!"
Underrated comment
Haha then he throws a bolo punch! 😂
The fact that the normally loud and feisty Mickey was silent and smiling for this scene tells me he was TOTALLY IN ON ROCKY'S MIND GAMES BEING PLAYED AGAINST APOLLO FOR THIS CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!
STEJTHEGREATEST I don't think Rocky was intentionally doing mind games. 😄 But I think Mick knew it would *look* that way, so he let Rocky continue to get Apollo's goat.
Ricky wasn't playing Rocky was dumb yku must be dumb too if you watch da movie and didn't realize that
I get Apollo is trying to be determined but Rocky is too great of a guy to be insulting.
1:40 the frog..whats his name,,kermit??
Carl Weathers was astonishingly good in this franchise. It's actually mind blowing. Every single scene he's in he steals.
I love how Rocky is so simple and humble
I love that usually it is Apollo bringing the circus to the table. But now, he is serious. He could always back it up before but now there was doubt, externally and internally. The worst part is that Rocky is humble, likeable and unintentionally making people laugh. It is almost like Rocky is not taking him seriously though that is definitely not the case. It's a case of everything to lose vs everything to gain.
Rocky is so pure :'D
Amazing to think that eventually Rocky & Apollo would become good friends, best of friends. What a character arc on both their parts. And what a dynamic that existed between Rocky & Apollo, going from hostility to a warm, endearing friendship. Amazing!
0:58 *”Now who’s that? Al Capone?”* 😂😂
"I don't sweat you." 😂 😂

'70s: the Golden Age of Boxing, in cinema AND real life.
I always liked watching the look on Creed's face when Rocky starts talking about the stuff he's going to buy with the money he earns from the fight (pay the rent, some Muppet toys, snowcone machine for Paulie, etc). It's like for a moment, Creed's expression softens, but then he has to remind himself that he's out to destroy this chump (but secretly, he likes him).
Apolos beef isn't really with rocky or the media or even the hate mail. It's with himself. He has to prove it to himself.
Both guys hit their roles completely out of the park. Hard to find movies this good anymore
1:50 First time i see Paulie smile. 99% of the Rocky franchise is him having the grim face.
Apollo’s face when Rocky starts reading his list of things to buy with the prize money!😂😂😂
Southpaw jinx nothin!
"I'd like to get a couple of hats..."
Rock, you only ever wear the one hat!!!
💀💀💀💀
"How 'bout some clowning shots, Apollo?" LMAO!
Billy Hennigan does this look like a circus to you man
"come November you're mine"
RIP Carl, you showed the ultimate class of a Boxer.
I love how calmed and funny Rocky is and how humbled Rocky is,that's how you do it.
RIP to Carl Weathers, Tony Burton, Burt Young, and Burgess Meredith
So sad to watch
So sad to watch
Rocky always sounds high
Yeah lowkey
I love this movie, there’s no good or bad guy here, all internal conflict and to see who’s the best. You are given the option to choose who to cheer for.
1:13 great line
Apollo is the only guy in movie history that can go from biggest villain in franchise history to the most loved besides Adonis.
The guy playing Apollo really sold this scene, you just don't see acting like this these days, a well written character portrayed believably and wonderfully.
This is basically the boxing equivalent of Goku versus Vegeta. I love how chill Rocky is in contrast to how driven Apolllo is.
Carl weathers character was inspired by Ali!
Ali once said he wished he would've thought of Creed's moniker, "The Master of Disaster" first. He liked it.
Carl Weathers actually moved like a boxer too. Probably the best of any actor playing a boxer.
you can tell because of how loud he was with the press
And Rocky’s character is inspired by Joe Frazier.
@@stanford6733 No he's based off of Rocky Marciano
I love how Paulie goes along with the whole snow cone machine thing lmao
the look of childish glee when Rocky mentions it
RIP Tony "Duke" Burton
The difference between arrogance and humility. Great performance from both Sly Stallone and Carl Weathers.
Rocky = Goku
Apollo=Vegeta
Paulie=Piccolo
😜
DrJangoR9 Kazama Micky is Master Roshi. Quite honestly I think Apollo is Tien, he just wants to train hard and win.
Paulie is Yajirobie.
Tommy was the real Vegeta.
Paulie= Yayirobe
@Sandosam ??? Tien was actually pretty badass in the original dragonball. Altogether I think dragonball was better than Z
no paulie is more like a krillin
Drago is Broly!
R.I.P Mr. Weathers
Apollo's acting, of course (the previous clip covered that). He knows that he has to play the villain, but he just wants to fight Rocky. A worthy challenger. No hard feelings either.
0:21 Apollo was like "I know there is an insult in that statement somewhere" 🤣
I've been watching this for 35 years and it never gets old.
0:53 i like how Mick is just enjoying the whole thing
Apollo: Come November, you're mine!
Rocky: ... Love you best buddy!
Rocky:😁
Apollo:😡
Apollo Creed is still the best character that Stallome has ever dreamed up.
Carl has massive stage presence. Best casting decision Sylvester ever made. 👍
this is GREAT acting by both Stallone and Weathers. rocky appreciative of the rematch, all awe shucks & happy go lucky. all the while Apollo is absolutely SEETHING, especially next to Rocky seemingly making light of the situation. brilliant acting.
0:04 I like how Mickey looked entertained by creed's promo there!!!!
Lmao Rocky is so happy and friendly while Apollo ready to square up lol
Say what you want about Apollo, but this was a real champion a real superstar, an attraction a draw. He had charisma and new how to sell a fight. Today we don't get that in boxing.
Paulie just liked saying "I don't sweat you". He said that here, repeated that in the ring to Thunderlips and once more to Apollo again in his old LA gym!
yup, said it to Rocky as well....in the Police parking garage
R.I.P. Carl Weathers (1948-2024) 🕊🕊🕊🕊
When you get too cocky, you will always loose the game, race etc... @0:56 Paulie just from a distance looks a bit like Gene Wilder.
He's gonna have to donate what's left of his body to science.... Apollo was the quintessential trash talker. Weathers acting in these movies was straight phenomenal. How he didn't win best supporting actor is unfathomable.
“I don’t know. He looks pretty mad.” 😂
Apollo is such a great antagonist without really being a "villain" damn this scene is great. Rocky is just being himself.
2:07 "come in november your mine"
I cant come, its november😔😔😔
Oh shut up loser
"I'mma drop him like a bad habit!"
Well, Creed must be relapsing, cause Rocky knocked him right out.
R.I.P., Carl Weathers.
I got a notification from the FOX News app on my phone around the time I went to lunch, today saying "Actor Carl Weathers of 'Predator', 'Rocky' & other various roles passes away at the age of 76.", or, something like that.
I literally didn't believe it, at first.
I saw the same thing, again when I was watching one of my world news programs on Newsmax, recently because it displayed something about it on the scroll on the bottom of the screen summarizing various news items.
All I know is that his family said that he passed away in his sleep & no cause of death was given, yet--if any.
Paulie & Mickey have since passed away, as well.
Burt Young passed away in October of 2023 & Burgess Meredith passed away in September of 1997, I believe.
Carl Weathers passed away, yesterday & why the news of it is coming out, now is beyond me.
Be that as it may, it's a real shame...
Carl Weathers passed away, too soon...
The first four Rocky films were fantastic... great characters that actually developed through the films. Simpler days it seemed. I watched Rocky III in Hong Kong with a mainly Chinese audience and everyone was cheering in the final fight. It was brilliant!
