I love the dynamic between Apollo and Rocky. Their friendship makes total sense. Complete opposites bonded by warriors code and massive respect for one another.
Carl Weathers was beyond awesome in this role. He exuded so much attitude and charisma and confidence. I loved these movies as a kid but watching them as an adult made me really appreciate how important Apollo was to the storyline and the franchise.
Yes absolutely, if there was no Apollo there would have been no Rocky. Apollo was SO important to the series with Carl Weather's performance, that the whole series CREED is based around him and he isn't even in it!
God loves us sinners that he willingly died for us so we can repent for our sins. Come to Christ before time runs out. There’s never a guarantee for tomorrow. We go to two places heaven or hell but Jesus opened the pathway to heaven for us. God loves you. Repent and come to him before it’s too late.
The great thing about Rocky IV is that Dolph Lundgren was close to being a completely unknown actor at the time. It made his role as Ivan Drago more believable and frightening.
You mean Sylvester Stallone wrote a good character anyone can do that if they are taller maybe even Andre the giant or even the tallest man on earth Lol pathetic
@@imcallingjapan2178 I ain't the one who think dolph is scary lol. He's just a man even standing next to him my eyes are just above his nose lol. He ain't scary at all lol. Him being a Russian, he's Swedish in real life, doesn't change anything lol.
@@bowens9211 I never said he was scary, altho he is intimidating, he could kill you probably even today. But you're just attacking his character for no reason
Plus where it's Soviet Era Russia, there might not have been that much footage and material to study up on Drago. Hell, they make it look like he's being trained in a personal Valhalla gym/lab.
Breazy T: Yeah but they obviously came over with a chip on their shoulder trying to "make a statement" to us. According to the film, they wanted Rocky first which tells me Drago going Terminator was always the plan.

But Apollo tried to make him look like a big joke!!!Remember how mad he was when he nocked Apollo's poster board down after that conference!!!!
TheGothprincess2 I am the best, i beat the best, i retired more then that social security, i mean, you don't talk like that, even if he was, you don't let it go to your head.
@@SushiU1 yeah this is what I meant, recently spared with a much stronger guy, he let me pick up some speed before destroying my liver, not doing the second part would be disrespectful imo
@@maximusd26 You say sparred, not fought. That's the issue. You're not out to hurt anybody in sparring. If they do get hurt, so be it, but you should not go all out in sparring.
It's a classic scene with a quality cast. I actually love Talia shires acting here. You can tell just from her look/persona she's not cormftable with the situation, doesn't like the disrespect and behaviour at the conference, and knows Drago is very dangerous, I think she knows tragedy is close. Amazing actress
This one of the reasons why Rocky was reluctant to be in Adonis corner. He knew all the controversy surrounding Apollo would be brought to a head again
I know I'm late commenting, I think it had more to do with Tommy. He referenced Tommy in the beginning of Creed when Adonis came to the restaurant, just didn't say Tommy's name
"You history chump! You history!" (Apollo asks Rocky) "How did I do?" (Rocky's response) "a little loud for my taste." (Apollo) "But good?" (Rocky) "Oh yeah very good." Hahaha what else could Rocky say?
@@mrrex3689 yeah. Apollo really kept trying to push Dragos buttons. Yeah its to sell a fight( just exhibition though) but he really needed to keep is paws to himself and remember that they have a different background
Apollo was a little cocky where is rocky was had more respect for his opponent. That's why rocky almost beat him the first time and then did beat him the second time around.
I love Apollo's immediate "How did I do?" after the press conference is over. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is what actually goes on in real life afterwards. It's a show for the press and the fans.
Yes very true..I've been in the behind the scenes of many professional fights and I have few friends who are world class fighters So I can confirm that the whole trash talking in press conference is about marketing and gaining attention to bring in a lot of money for the fight
I just appreciate how much of an absolute showman Apollo is. Like, even in the face of possible death he's thinking about how to turn it into a positive. Think Apollo lost his cool? He was putting on an act. Dude may have had his fatal flaw in his pride, but he always knew how to work the show.
That's what set Apollo of and he said "When... You don't really think you're gonna whip me do you". Put that heavy bag with eyeballs into the ring with me and you'll see the meaning of pain.
I wouldn't call it a slump. I've been seeing him more than ever before. What he needs is a groundbreaking role that literally surprises an entire industry.
I saw this movie in the theaters opening weekend. The line wrapped around the block twice. In the final scenes of the Rocky/Drago fight, the ENTIRE audience was standing and cheering Rocky on like we were at the fight. When Rocky won, we jumped up and down and hugged each other. Great memories
0:26 Reporter: "Hey Drago how does it feel to be able to fight the champion of the world?" Drago: ... Apollo: "The man's tongue didn't come through customs" I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!!
@@gunnyakdo1653 They both suck as actors though. No wonder their careers went nowhere. Want a good Danish actor? Mads Mikkelsen. Good Swedish one? Peter Stormare, Bill Skarsgard, Alicia Wikander and Noomi Rapace.
@G E T R E K T in a exhibition bro Drago wasn’t supposed to go for a KO, exhibitions are essentially glorified sparring fights. If Apollo was in his prime and trained with that same intensity in Rocky II, Drago would be done.
@G E T R E K T Why not? Lol Apollo had always been a much faster, stronger, more skilled Boxer than Rocky. You don’t think Prime Apollo “who can beat prime Rocky any day* with serious training could beat Drago?
@G E T R E K T ?? Are you the type of person who watches Star Wars and points out “that’s not real”? We’re not talking about the actors, we’re talking about the characters the actors are portraying wtf
When I was in the theater watching this, when Drago stood up and I saw how big he was and how much taller he was than Apollo, I said, WOAH! It was something that definitely caught me by surprise.
me and my mom went to the theatre to watch rocky 4. wen drago killed Apollo I don't think there was one person in that movie theater that wasn't crying. it was real for me. I was like 5 years old. one of my top 10 favorite movies
Joshua Weatherly I read another RUclips comment in another Rocky IV related video where the said person making the comment had seen Rocky IV in theater as well and they said that when Rocky dropped Drago at the end of the fight, the whole movie theater jumped up cherring
Same bro. I was 5. I still remember the ride home from the theater it was a Saturday afternoon and I was so bummed out. We went through the car wash and I always loved doing that and that day I didn't give a flying crap
Your mum took you to the theatre to watch that film when you were only 5? If that really is true, then I'm shocked because this film, I think, was '15' rated and I don't know why the members would be allowed to let little children in.
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 I agree. While I do respect ballsiness decisions like killing someone important off, I think it would have been more impactful if Apollo simply got seriously injured. Then later on in his hospital bed he is grinning when he witnesses rocky severely beat the Russian. That would further demonstrate the respect and love that Apollo has for rocky
This doesn't look like the apollo from Rocky lll which was more down to earth and wise. Here he seems more like a big mouth arrogant guy. Drago is amazing. Just quiet.
That's because Apollo beat Rocky in that secret 3rd fight. I'm sure his ego went through the roof after that. Also Apollo told Adrian "Let's just say something happened to me". Maybe he knew about Adonis and it might get him a divorce with his wife... so he might need the extra money? who knows.
You all are missing the point. He wasn't being serious, he was a showman. This was just an exhibition to hype up the fight, you can tell because at the end, just after Apollo finishes yelling to Drago, he turns to Rocky and says "how did I do? " and Rocky says "I little too loud for my taste, but good". The issue was that the russians didn't understand it that way, they thought it was a formal conference or whatever, and because of that they actually got mad at Apollo
They made a movie called "Creed". It was successful. I wonder if they'd ever do a movie called "Drago" which tells the backstory of Ivan and his life after failing to beat Rocky.
jollyjames30 they are going to have Drago come back been confirmed Dolph Lundgren is strongly hinting that will be back in Creed 2 as his son Viktor Drago will be fighting Adonis Creed. Stallone will be back as Rocky Training Adonis to fight Viktor according to sources. Stallone wants Dolph Lundgren to come back as Drago. Creed 2 is in production stage and will start filming soon

I always remember how well they designed this set with the lighting effect and hazy glow...it really gave the press conference this high intense pressure tone....great acting on everyone. We can't make classics like this much more these days :(
This scene is key. The last bit shows that Apollo was just trash talking to build press. The Russians didn't see any of that, they just saw disrespect and responded.
You can tell Drago doesn’t really want to fight Apollo but they’re making him fight him. He keeps shaking his head because he knows he’s going to demolish him.
When I watched this as a kid, many of the stuff that was said went over my head. Now that I understand it as an adult, I realized that this press conference was gold and actually pretty funny 😄
This is a classic example of "be afraid of the calmest person in the room".
Drago's the perfect example of "silent, but deadly"

We can't make classics like this much more these days :(
He called him “Comrade Bigmouth” IM DED
I really love the character of apollo, he isn't the bad guy you hate, he is the guy you love for his humourus, strong and brave character.
Drago is the opposite to clubber
Kevin Sze prove it
Bowens92 Drago is a man of few words, the opposite to Clubber
Bowens92 Drago is white,blond,trained with expensive equiment with a lot of people around him,says nothing in interviews.
@@PaodeQueijo-ub6uf lol he was talking about the skin color not personality
@@utoresa5193 he did he farted as well.

@@awabbelghith2885 Same! I'mma see it opening day at 10pm, Nov 21!
Joe M iammmmmm rematchhhhhhhh
You bet!
This scene is key. The last bit shows that Apollo was just trash talking to build press. The Russians didn't see any of that, they just saw disrespect and responded.
1:11 I say that every time someone I don’t like joins the conversation
youtube comments in a nutshell
0:52 his stares are just the best😐😐😐😐😐😐
Creed knew how to promote a fight even without faking it 😂😂😂
Apollo is funny 😂
RIP Carl. Thanks for making one of the best franchises in film history.
Goodbye, Carl Weathers. ❤️ We will all miss you.
R.I.P Carl Weathers😢😢😢
"The man's tongue didn't come through customs"
OMG 😭🤣
Apollo was to cocky, especially for someone who hasn't been in the ring for five years.
“How’d I do?”
“A lil loud for my taste.”
“But good?”
“Oh yeah, very good.”
😂
"You get the big chunk in the ring right now!"😡
*Knocks over poster of Apollo in anger*
THERE IS NO TOMOROW! REST IN PEACE LEGEND!
You can tell Drago doesn’t really want to fight Apollo but they’re making him fight him. He keeps shaking his head because he knows he’s going to demolish him.
The man's tongue didn't come through customs..ROFL
Why is that so funny?
Carl Rocky wouldn't have been the same without you . Rip champ
No matter how great a fighter you are, never underestimate your opponent
Apollo never learned that.
RIP Apollo. Broke my heart when he died
Carl Weathers acted very well in all Rocky's movies !
1:58 Drago was so beautiful
viking genes :D
Carlotta Parlagreco if he were fat you'd call him ugly lol
@@bowens9211 correct. But he wasnt fat. That is the difference.
My favorite, Rocky IV of all time.
Rest In Peace ❤
When I watched this as a kid, many of the stuff that was said went over my head.
Now that I understand it as an adult, I realized that this press conference was gold and actually pretty funny 😄
1:23 if you look Adriana's face, it seems "he is not going to make it"!
1:11 “Oh w-where did you come from, what’re you talkin about?” Cracks me up how he says that
1:46 Geesus I almost forgot how big Dolph is. The casting in Rocky is just impeccable.
Rest In Peace Apollo
I felt Bad For Drago after this. He was just Sitting there, and Creed just started to mess with him.
Yeah me too😞
Everyone had such a fun time in this scene. And then you see Drago just chilling without a single word
"The man's tongue didnt come through customs"
R.I.P legend Carl Weathers
Apollo: "The mans tounge didnt come through customs"
Russians:
Russians: "it will be a good victory"
Apollo: "is that sexual harassment"
And here we are, about to get Creed Jr vs Drago Jr on Thanksgiving #Creed2
1:53 Drago would’ve been a great Terminator!
It’s funny. Drago just pushed Apollo like he was nothing and moved the entire crowd behind him as well 😂
The entire crowd was Rocky and a couple of cops. You say it like it was 20 people.
@@user-mf9fv6rt1k lol count again
