Carl Weathers made this move. He was in absolutely great shape here and his footwork was outstanding. Just watching their movement and punching power, you can see that in real life Carl Weathers would have annihilated Stallone. He moved better, punched harder, and punched faster.
Bullshit. This is fight choreography all done by Stallone himself. Stop hero worshiping Apollo. Ever since creed came out you’ve all been trying to make Apollo out to be more than he was. You can also very CLEARLY see in Rocky 3 and 4 how hard Stallone hits by his body mechanics and technique when he throws. 100% he hits a lot harder than Carl ever could.
5:17: I found out that Rocky and Apollo taunting each other after the end of the second round, was actually partially Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers actually being angry at one another and did not have to do much acting. This was because they had been rehearsing the fight very carefully with everything planned out so that little to no actual contact was made in the filming of the fight, but Carl Weathers had accidentally landed several blows on Stallone that were supposed to miss and the whole production ended going off track because of this error. When in reality this sort of thing should always be expected. Stallone then revealed he liked the reaction the scene produced so he decided to keep it in
I love the differences in the trainers. Apollos trainer is saying “the switching didn’t bother you? Then you should have had him. Be careful this man is dangerous”. While Mickey just keeps saying “You can’t be hurt. You’re a tank. You can’t be hurt”. Apollos trainer planting seeds of doubt while Mickey pushing his Rocky telling him “he’s only a man. You’re a tank. A greasy fast 200lbs Italian tank. Go through him. Run over him “
Ok but you gotta give Apollo some points for his boastfulness. "This man is dangerous? I'm the man, I'm dangerous!" Apollo actually treated the fight seriously and was giving it his all. He trained and prepared to win this time
but Apollos coach was right. Creed could only use that fight if he underestimated his opponent and at the end he lost it cause he wanted to force the KO. If he would have listen to his coach he would have won by points.
Anyone got teary eyed when he says “I ain’t goin’ down no more” and Mickey being proud of him? …When you hit rock bottom, you’ve had enough with the nonsense. No more excuses.
Sets up the premise of the third movie perfect too. With Mickey prolonging his champ career with hasbeen fights, fearing anymore damage on Rocky would kill him. The miracle wasn’t Rocky beating Apollo. The miracle was rocky surviving. Both fights should’ve killed him. It only took Apollo training Rocky to be a more advanced boxer.
@Los Pollos Hermanos Corporation No, Apollo was the best boxer. Look up his record, 47 wins and 2 losses. The only two losses is from Drago and Rocky. Also we were never able to see Apollo in his prime, because in Rocky (1976), he was not in his prime. So imagine him in his prime days, with his record in mind.
At the 5:16 mark Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers were actually jawing at each other because the last of Carl's punches was not scripted, he actually made contact with Sylvester's jaw and what we see in the film is both actors out of character yelling at each other. Stallone later said he liked how it looked when he was editing the film and decided to include the sequence in the final cut.
@@rooneyjosuehernandezvillan4213 "Stallone revealed later they were actually angry with each other and were not acting at that point, several blows that were supposed to miss him landed and the carefully choreographed fight, which they spent months meticulously planning out, went off-track during that scene, but he liked the reaction the scene produced ..."Rocky II" (1979) - Trivia - IMDb
Totally agree. NO referee worth his salt would allow such an inhuman beating where one fighter is taking 80 plus direct, unblocked punches to his face and skull. And this is 3 minutes of every single round until the final minute of a 15 round bout. NO fighter in history since the inception of 15 rounds could survive a beating like this without it being stopped by the referee or being knocked out cold.
As a psychology student I love how the corner men differ between rounds...Apollos is negative whereas the fighter is confident and Rocky is negative but Micky gives him a boost...awesome stuff from Stallone
Rather fascinating how Apollos demeanor is negative throughout the film, as opposed to the first film where he’s rather passive and good-natured. It wasn’t Rocky’s fault, he was merely trying the best he could as a competitor, which Apollo could surely understand, being a fighter himself.
But they're also each telling the fighter what they need to hear. Apollo already believes in himself fully, and he doesn't need a boost in confidence. He has the opposite problem: hubris. His second is trying to warn him to take his opponent more seriously and do what it takes to win rather than worry about showing him up, and he's _right._ Remember: if Apollo had listened to his second, he would have won.
@@n0wheregrrlvery true. Apollo should’ve boxed smarter particularly on the last round, where he had made enough points to win a comfortable decision, should’ve just stayed away like his trainer told him to and just survive th last round
Duke know how arrogant and with how snob eye apollo still watvh and thinking about rocky ability,and he knows very good how apollo driven from full angry blow to prove to all others he not sell his first match(anger put fog on mind and do wrong choises) and 3)duke know well what a problem rocky can do and bring to apollo,as manager(older and see things in his career) when he tell apollo: you hit him and still come to you,meand : this damage,hits,full distance rounds fighter are not just lucky.
To OP. "positive" and "negative" What kind of "psychology student" are you anyhow? That you even derive this infantile "positive/negative" stereotypes speaks volumes about you. "...awesome stuff from Stallone" Game over for you with that sentence. How old are you again?
Rocky 2 is my favorite of the franchise. I feel it’s almost better than the 1st film when it comes to the fight between Apollo and Rocky. The first film felt more like Rocky needed to prove he was worthy of fighting Apollo at all, this film made it clear Rocky was worthy of being the champion. And on top of that, it remained grounded as a drama as opposed to the later films. Rocky 6 was good but was more based on the George Foreman comeback story than the original which felt more like the Ali v Frazier matches.
@@rooneyjosuehernandezvillan4213 it was Apollo who gave rocky balboa brain damage. Ivan drago only made thing worse and g made the symptoms of CTE come sooner rather than later😂😂
Mick knew Rocky was going to win from the start, like he said at 0:20 if you get through this first round, then he’s ours, absolutely cinema. Forgot Mickey even said that.
Mate first let me say EXCELLENT Quality in this format. Thoroughly enjoy seeing the film in this pristine quality. The second thing is I always liked the Rocky films and use them as inspiration when its time to hit the gym. Eye of the tiger is number one on my Playlist. However.... This particular fight with Apollo Creed is just unrealistic. There is no fighter EVER in the pro ranks who takes this kind of inhuman punishment and doesn't get knocked out or the referee doesn't call a halt to the bout due to the fighter being totally outclassed . These are 3 minute rounds. And over the course of 15 rounds Creed is averaging anywhere from 80 to 120 landed blows directly to Balboas head per round going by the pattern of punches landed by him in these shortened sequences for movie purposes rounds. Many of them power shots and combinations set up by STIFF jabs. Balboa offers virtually zero defense and is literally catching everything a determined elite level fighter with a point to make, weighing in excess of 225 pounds, is throwing. In just 3 rounds he's taken over 200 plus unblocked punches to his head with over half being power shots. This is severe head trauma and no referee worth his salt would allow this.
RIP Carl Weathers… you made the first 2 Rocky films work! Carl played his role like a real boxer utilizing footwork and technique which was dire for making Rocky’s win feel like an underdog overcoming the odds. You need a realistic portrayal of a boxer like Carl to make Rocky’s unrealistic style seem all the more impressive and believable. Sly really couldn’t box, but Carl clearly could, and that really benefited the film.
Also, Burgess Meredith was such a great choice for Rocky’s manager. He was great in The Twilight Zone, and great in Rocky. He deserves more credit than he gets.
you understahd perfectly what mick and apollo says about clubber at the third movie, you can literally see the animalistic movement in rocky as he puts apollo back in the corner just as clubber does to rocky on the first fight
Apollo Was Just Beautiful In The Ring. His 1,2s, Uppercuts, Left & Right Hooks & My Favorite......His Dancing❗ Ali Was Doing What I Was Doing Watching This Like ''Yup, Dancing Like Ali. Whewwww Look At That Combination, OMG'' I Don't Think No Actor Back Then Could Do What Ali Could Do Like Apollo Creed❗
If Apollo had been more focused and trained harder like he did in this movie, then he would had won against Rocky in the first movie even against drago
Who knows, as long as creed doesn't let drago have the center of the ring and tire Drago out Apollo should be able to defeat Drago. But Drago with steroids just slaps apollo
I think Apollo was Rocky's toughest opponent, he mangled Rocky's face up pretty bad plus mickey did say "The beating you got from Apollo should've killed you"......
But you're right. He weighed 210 in the first Rocky and weighed 220 in this one. Stallone also gained weight from the first Rocky cause I think he went from 190 to 202lbs
Carl Weathers (RIP) was such an amazing athlete and actor, he was literally gliding around the ring like Muhammad Ali. Stallone looked back and regretted writing him to die in part 4 and said he should have made him unable to box anymore instead but having him replace Mickey and sharing the best of his skills to Rocky verbally and mentally instead because Carl definitely had the acting ability to pull that off.
@@bearcattony00 He wanted to go into that exhibition to prove something. He couldn't deal with the fact that people weren't making a big deal about him, and they still kept Rocky's name in their mouths. Also the fact that the lecture he gave Rocky in III, he didn't take his own advice in IV.
I'm going to start telling people who are down on themselves " you can't be hurt because you are too tough. You're a greasy fast Italian tank" lol...🤷🏻♂️
L' incontro che sintetizza la morale del film il senso della continuità mentre il coraggio di Apollo è surreale per dimostrare a tutto il mondo che la prima volta è stato truccato quello di Rochy è ruggente per dimostrare a tutto il mondo di essere continuativo
Duke: "This man is dangerous!" Apollo: "This man is dangerous? I'm the man, I'm dangerous!" Rocky: "You can take the pain because you're dangerous!" Adonis: "I'm dangerous!"
6:25 has gotta be my favorite. Music swells up, Rocky gets beaten up, refuses to go down, throws his own punches and bullrushes Apollo in to a corner. "Bloody his nose, he comes back twice as fierce!"
As a historian, I thought it was hilarious when Mick said Rocky was an Italian tank when most Italian tanks from major parts of history were famously small and weak.
Rest in peace to the two managers of Apollo and Rocky. Thank you burgess meredith and tony burton for their work in the Rocky movies.
What can I say the kid is Good but he's not better then....God.😂
And now Apollo has passed on. Nothing but legends, here
I never really thought anyone could equal Mickey, but l think Tony Burton eventually became an even greater character in the saga.
@@davidtatro7457Tony Burton really shined in Rocky 4
Anthony Burgess survived a nucleer war, fought Batman and trained Rocky
I love how proud Mickey is when rocky says he ain’t going down again.
My man tears came out.
I liked the part where Mickey started praying for Rocky to get up after being knocked down again.
The old penguin voice came out “that ah boy”
@@ojdajuiceman7870 great analogy. I almost forgot he played the part of penguin
And also the way how he gets to describe and motivate Rocky by comparing him with a Tank.
Micky's pep talks are next-level stuff.
"You're a tank, kid! Go thru him! Run over him!"
Every time I eat a grape, I think of Mick, "They'll have to put you in a cage, Kid!" A lovely man...Mighty Mick!
RIP Legend. You will be missed❤
Carl Weathers made this move. He was in absolutely great shape here and his footwork was outstanding. Just watching their movement and punching power, you can see that in real life Carl Weathers would have annihilated Stallone. He moved better, punched harder, and punched faster.

Ironic....that Apollo's trainer shouted to Rocky (after drawing blood against Drago) that he's not a machine...he's a man.
It is quite simple to be a good coach) All you have to do saying you're simply the best la la la))..
but Apollos coach was right. Creed could only use that fight if he underestimated his opponent and at the end he lost it cause he wanted to force the KO. If he would have listen to his coach he would have won by points.
Duke was only telling Apollo what he needed to hear. Apollo took Rocky to lightly. Duke wanted him to stop playing with him and focus on finishing him

@@robm2707 “Atta’ boy. Go get em’.” (music starts).
5:15. When that music hits, goosebumps every time. Only eclipsed by Adrian's "Win."
Rocky 2 was always my favorite and when the music score kicks in during this fight, its epic.
I love how Apollo’s demeanor in this match is the exact opposite of the first!
4:00 Apollo was the best boxer in the entire franchise. Other than the heart to stay in the fight, Rocky had no business ever beating Apollo.

Prime Apollo definitely defeats Prime Rocky. Thing is, Apollo was leaving his prime and Rocky was just entering it in Rocky II.
Carl Weathers would’ve been a very good boxer in real life, his movement around the ring throwing that jab looks marvelous🔥
This man is dangerous. I'm dangerous! We would hear this again many years later(Rocky and Adonis).

I'm going to start telling people who are down on themselves " you can't be hurt because you are too tough. You're a greasy fast Italian tank" lol...🤷🏻♂️
L' incontro che sintetizza la morale del film il senso della continuità mentre il coraggio di Apollo è surreale per dimostrare a tutto il mondo che la prima volta è stato truccato quello di Rochy è ruggente per dimostrare a tutto il mondo di essere continuativo
Apollo the legend
REST WELL MR CARL AKA APOLLO
@1:07 if Rocky could’ve kept up that head movement/defense, it would’ve made it even harder for Creed
True, but creed is too fast for it.
Duke: "This man is dangerous!"
Apollo: "This man is dangerous? I'm the man, I'm dangerous!"
Rocky: "You can take the pain because you're dangerous!"
Adonis: "I'm dangerous!"
Balboa had the greatest chin of all time, only Clubber Lang kod him.
6:25 has gotta be my favorite. Music swells up, Rocky gets beaten up, refuses to go down, throws his own punches and bullrushes Apollo in to a corner.
"Bloody his nose, he comes back twice as fierce!"
I GO DOWN NO MORE , GOD what a great line .
As a historian, I thought it was hilarious when Mick said Rocky was an Italian tank when most Italian tanks from major parts of history were famously small and weak.
Rounds one a two,Apollo flat out wanted to kill rocky..he poured everything into the opening rounds.
