In my childhood I remember my family would get to the theater to see the Rocky movies. These films always had a blockbuster cast and good story lines in every sequel. Rocky III was one was one of the best films, because it mixed a lot of drama and humor. One of the best lines is when Apollo said, in his distinctive voice, “Rock, there is no tomorrow!!”. Another great scene was Apollo and Rocky running down the shoreline and jumping and high fiving. I remember crying in Rocky IV when Apollo died.
Carl Weathers was a tremendous actor. There is truly no one I could think of today that could have played Apollo Creed better than him. He will certainly be missed! RIH Carl!
