The rocky 3 training montage brought me to tears today realising that Carl weathers is gone and that all our childhood memories from actors and movies are drifting away one by one.
@@lexkanyima2195 The fact that he wasn't was criminal! Burgess Meredith (Mick) was nominated (deservedly so! he was fantastic!) But Carl Weathers was also phenomenal and definitely should have been nominated!
Rest In Power to Legendary Actor and Director Carl Weathers (1948-2024). Your powerful acting roles in cinema and TV productions such as "Rocky (I-IV)", "Predator", "Action Jackson", "Force 10 from Navarone", and most recently as Greef Karga in "The Mandalorian" were second to none. Thanks for the great memories. You will be sadly missed, Good Sir. 🎭🥊🚀🪖🥋🏈🎬
We love you Apollo. We LOVE you. Does anyone notice this… out of ALLLLLL of the Rocky movies. Apollo was never a “villain”. Never a killer. Simply an opponent. And he is also the best purest “actor” in any rocky movie. Kept up with Burgess Meredith.
Apollo made Rocky at his best in the third film. Rocky has devastating punching power and Apollo added his speed level into Rocky. Having both attributes makes someone nearly unstoppable.
Always loved the evolution of the relationship between Rocky and Apollo. Carl Weathers was one of the greats. I met him a few times and he was always so approachable and down to earth. Still so hard to believe that he’s gone.
1976 My mom told me about "some movie about a boxer. Skeptical, I decided to go. It was the best movie I had ever seen. Carl Weathers was an integral part to the success of the franchise. RIP. You brought great joy to many.
The best supporting character in any film. Carl Weathers gave such a memorable performance. I love how he did a 180 and approached Rocky about teaming up and I always enjoy hearing him call Rocky "Stallion".
To me Apollo Creed was Carl Weather's greatest role yet I've seen a few media headlines and they're saying Carl Weathers of Star Wars passes away. Apparently they never heard of Rocky, Predator, Happy Gilmore, Action Jackson.
If you think about it Apollo is the driving force behind the first 4 Rocky movies, without him there wouldn't be anything. He gave Rocky a shot in 1, pushed him for a rematch in 2, pushed him to fight Clubber again in 3 and his death in 4 was the motivation for Rocky to avenge him and do one last fight.
He played Apollo Creed as the smartest person in the room in every scene .. brilliant. Carl Weathers made those movies the iconic American tales they were ... RIP
I remember watching Rocky as a kid and thought Carl weathers was an actual real boxer. As I got older I found out he was a ex NFL player. This man is amazing!! Great actor!!
Just listen how beautiful was English language before slang , accents , and mix of all things . Clean and beautiful I honestly think Carl did one of the best acting performances in hystory in Rocky
Carl Weathers was perfectly cast as Apollo Creed. He brought the role to life and really made the first two movies great. Stallone was excellent as Rocky, but if the champion had been poorly cast, the whole movie could have descended into farce. Just my opinion.
He actually is Ali.... Stallone was at the Ali v wepner fight and got the inspiration to write this story... So for at least the first 2 films Apollo creed was a movie version of Ali without the name
I really wish he wasn't killed off. Imagine him training Adonis and teaching life lessons to deal with Dame in "Creed 3"! Imagine him teaching his son to toughen up. 🔥
Even Rocky himself said Apollo was the best of all-time but that time wore him out, it's inevitable. We never saw Apollo in his prime, by the start of the first Rocky movie he's near the end of his career and he retires just one year later after what could possibly be the most impressive career of them all, 49 fight, 47 wins by KO, 1 split decision and 1 loss (2 if you count the Drago fight but that was meant to be an exhibition)
Bin geschockt. Ruhe in Frieden Carl Weathers " 🥊 Apollo Creed". Bin geschockt erst Burt Young und jetzt Apollo. Traurig. Die Rocky Filme sind meine Lieblingsfilme.
Just found out Carl Weathers passed away. RIP. My favorite quote will always be “TOMORROW?! THERE IS NO TOMORROW!”
That's what brought me here. Loved Carl Weathers.
devastated
This one hurts. Godspeed Apollo.
Rip Carl weathers there is no tomorrow my favourite actor😢
Very talented actor and athlete. He created a fantastic character as Apollo Creed. Pure class.
RIP Carl Weathers. I couldn't imagine anyone else who could played Apollo Creed better than you
Neither can I even though Muhammad Ali wanted to play him
But still no one else could’ve played him better than Carl Weathers
RIP Carl Weathers. You will always be Rocky Balboas Best opponent and friend in this entire franchise.
The rocky 3 training montage brought me to tears today realising that Carl weathers is gone and that all our childhood memories from actors and movies are drifting away one by one.
Life gives you everything, then gradually takes things away, it's wild.
Carl Weathers did a fantastic job, great actor, pure charisma, his best character. Apollo deserves a movie telling his story till meeting Rocky.
Great idea 👍
He should have be nominated for a Oscar

@@Graham2468 especially in the 1st movie
Definitely! Maybe a Godfather 2-type film, laying out Apollo's origin with a continuation of the Adonis story.
RIP, Carl Weathers
The great Apollo Creed
The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting
The one...the only...Apollo Creed. RIP Carl Weathers.
The dancing destroyer
The count of monte fisto
“Southpaw nothing. I’ll drop him in 3.” 😄😄 Weathers should’ve got an Oscar.
😂👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Yep great line 👍
Yeah, he played that line with perfect arrogance and dismissiveness.
I agree.
Would’ve been interesting to see him fight Clubber Lang who was a southpaw himself.
RIP Carl Weathers (1948-2024)
Carl Weathers was such an amazing actor. He will forever be Creed to me. RIP

Carl Weathers was unbelievable and he left an amazing legacy of work, that all of us will remember forever.
"Creed 3" should be an Apollo origins story. We know very little about his past and he's such an interesting character.
Nah they should bring back Clubber Lang
@@SDuce3 it’s most likely Adonis is gonna fight Lang’s child
Yes
@@oswaldfarkleton3839 that would be the best option imo
Played by Michael B. Jordan but with a mustache & an afro lol.
The great Apollo Creed is now resting in heaven. Rip
RIP legendary actor. Always will be linked to the rocky saga.
Had to watch some Apollo Creed footage after the sad news today.He played this role brilliantly and I loved him in Predator too,RIP Carl Weathers.
We love you Apollo. We LOVE you. Does anyone notice this… out of ALLLLLL of the Rocky movies. Apollo was never a “villain”. Never a killer. Simply an opponent.
And he is also the best purest “actor” in any rocky movie. Kept up with Burgess Meredith.
Carl weathers is my favorite character in the whole Rocky franchise. Its sad that we didn’t get much from him in the movies.
Fav is Creed 3
Amazing charisma and screen presence. Should have been a star leading man.
Sad news, RIP
“Gonna Fly Now”… RIP Carl Weathers
"There is no tomorrow! THERE IS NO TOMORROW!"
How could you exclude that
RIP Carl Weathers - Without you we would have never seen the greatness of Rocky's character. Godspeed.
Carl was a freaking natural actor... The man was an athlete... Just wow🕊️
He was awesome in the Rocky movies and other movies as well, sadly missed, RIP
We need a movie about the origins of Apollo Creed. Such an amazing character.
Agreed!!
Rest easy to a legend…you shapeshifted my charisma and Confidence💯
Rip Carl. You are always be remembered.
Apollo made Rocky at his best in the third film. Rocky has devastating punching power and Apollo added his speed level into Rocky. Having both attributes makes someone nearly unstoppable.
True
Adonis Creed
That strong jaw
Carl Weathers is Apollo Creed like Slyvestor Stallone as Rocky Balboa. They’re both are perfectly casted to play both rivals.
Rocky casted himself, like literally 😂
RIP CARL! WE MISS YOU ALREADY!
Just makes Apollo dying in Rocky 4 that much more sorrowful. RIP Carl Weathers.
Rest Peacefully Carl Weathers AKA the great Apollo Creed. You will be miss sir 🙏.
RIP Carl Weathers
He may be gone, but his best moments will remain in our hearts
Always loved the evolution of the relationship between Rocky and Apollo. Carl Weathers was one of the greats. I met him a few times and he was always so approachable and down to earth. Still so hard to believe that he’s gone.
RIP….... Apollo ..! U were the king of class ..!
RIP to an absolute legend.

I'm 49. Still the best movie I've ever seen. Also, you are right, Carl Weathers was an integral part of the Rocky saga.

RIP Carl. I cannot adequately express what these movies mean to me. Stood up and cheered in a movie theater. No other films have done that.
He had such grace, presence and charisma. RIP
R.I.P. Carl Weathers, a true legend 🖤
My gosh, I love that guy. such a amazing actor. Rest in peace
Carl Weathers. Gone, but you will never be forgotten.
Rocky III is My Favorite One.
Wish he never died in series
Adonis wish his dad was still alive.
Even Sly regrets killing of Apollo.
Go with God, Mr Weathers. You gave America great memories and stories.
Don’t mean to come back to this but this is a good moment to view just how much Apollo loved his country.
Carl Weathers was the perfect Apollo Creed. I don't think anyone could of played that part any better. RIP
As a teen going to see the early 'Rocky' films probably most kids wanted to be Rocky, I wanted to be Apollo Creed 🙂 RIP Carl Weathers.
A true champion and a gentleman.
RIP TO THE LEGEND APOLLO CREED! 🇺🇸
There will never be a better actor than Carl Weathers
Thank you, CARL WEATHERS for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
RIP Carl Weathers :(
To me Apollo Creed was Carl Weather's greatest role yet I've seen a few media headlines and they're saying Carl Weathers of Star Wars passes away. Apparently they never heard of Rocky, Predator, Happy Gilmore, Action Jackson.
Agreed. He was great as Apollo
A great character brought to life by a true champion. RIP, Mr. Weathers.

One of the greatest, most memorable characters in all of cinema. Rest peacefully, Mr. Weathers.
Missed the greatest quote in the Rocky series from Apollo Creed. “There is no tomorrow”!!!!! Rocky 3
RIP Carl Weathers. Forever our Apllo Creed.
Goodbye Carl Weathers you can now rest in peace
Beautiful, charismatic guy ❤
Rest easy, Sir ❤
RIP Carl Weathers, what a legend
He played Apollo Creed as the smartest person in the room in every scene .. brilliant. Carl Weathers made those movies the iconic American tales they were ... RIP
Carl's acting skills were top shelf he was legit, seems to me he was a natural actor considering him comming from being a professional athlete before.
A bloody legend. RIP
Ah man.. Now I'm gona have to watch rocky 1-4 again..
I remember watching Rocky as a kid and thought Carl weathers was an actual real boxer. As I got older I found out he was a ex NFL player. This man is amazing!! Great actor!!
Just listen how beautiful was English language before slang , accents , and mix of all things . Clean and beautiful I honestly think Carl did one of the best acting performances in hystory in Rocky
Apollo Creed, one of the great characters of cinema

Thanks for the wonderful performances, Carl. Godspeed.
RIP Carl Wheaters. Apollo will remain in the history of the cinema.
“I don’t want to change I like who I am!”
A great actor and will always be a legend
Apollo was like a mix between Muhammad Ali and Aaron Pryor.
Facts
He actually is Ali.... Stallone was at the Ali v wepner fight and got the inspiration to write this story... So for at least the first 2 films Apollo creed was a movie version of Ali without the name
Rest in peace Carl Weathers
Legend you will be forever in our hearts 😢02/02/2024
I really wish he wasn't killed off. Imagine him training Adonis and teaching life lessons to deal with Dame in "Creed 3"! Imagine him teaching his son to toughen up. 🔥
That would make the story much better
He probably would’ve tried to keep Dame out of trouble. Probably would’ve gotten him a good lawyer so he didn’t get the sentence he got.
There is no tomorrow… RIP Carl Apollo Weathers😢
RIP to this legend
R.I.P. Carl, you'll never be forgotten 💔
I expected the last scene of Rocky III to be included in this best of. R.I.P Carl Weathers...
Even Rocky himself said Apollo was the best of all-time but that time wore him out, it's inevitable. We never saw Apollo in his prime, by the start of the first Rocky movie he's near the end of his career and he retires just one year later after what could possibly be the most impressive career of them all, 49 fight, 47 wins by KO, 1 split decision and 1 loss (2 if you count the Drago fight but that was meant to be an exhibition)

At first, they were enemies, now they are friends.
Carl Weathers was so good in the Rocky movies I thought his real name was Apollo Creed for many years after. RIP Legend
Rocky and Apollo greatest duo of all time nothing else comes close. They. Inspire me to workout even harder
Eye of the Tiger man! May this legend rest in peace.
They should have never killed him off… he would have made the Creed franchise 💯 times doper 🔥!
