Nice to see Rocky still has the restaurant and hasn't gone skint again.
Bellew repeating his Cleverly press conference "fucking rat"
So heavy weight Creed is fighting middleweight Gabriel Rosado in this?;D
They really are squeezing every drop out of the Rocky franchise. If it was an abattoir, they would now be selling doner kebabs made of connective tissue!
I couldn't take the actor playing Creed that seriously either, he is a dead ringer for Thierry Henry!! ;D ..... even though I expected him to sell some crack at some point as I think is also 'Wallace' from The Wire?
Avon Barksdale.
Looks shite.

The 1st 18 movies were all unspeakably horrible so the odds say this one is due to entertain those with only mild head injuries. If they would just make one match in the franchise that remotely resembles a boxing match i would forgive all the garbage before. But they basically say boxing sucks so we'll make it where every punch lands that will make it good. There should be no movie as offensive to boxing fans as "boxing" movies.
The only boxing film that doesn't suck is Raging Bull.
I was reading that Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) stopped Sly Stallone from using footage of them fighting his Rocky Balboa film in 2006. He claimed copyright or somethingQuote:

Carl Weathers got pissed. He thought he could be brought back to life or something
Stallone stood his ground and said that would be crazy and make the Rocky brand look silly
So that's when Carl Weathers threatened to sue if they used footage of him and Rocky fighting and although I ain't seen this Creed film yet, it wouldn't suprise (Unless they have sorted out there differences) that there will no past footage of Apollo and Rocky fighting in this film.
I think I went to see Ali three of four times.Quote:

Sly & Tarver, I mean Mason Dixon-:rolleyes: threw real shots at each other. I think it was filmed on the undercard of Hopkins-Taylor.Quote:

No, I am going to avoid this. As has been mentioned above, they are just squeezing it now and the last Rocky was as far as you can go. I really have no interest in Creed Jnr and then all the horrible urban music in the background to make it 'trendy'. I think it looks a bit rubbish. I have gone off films in general as they seem to start on the assumption that we have never seen a film before. Why would you watch this when you could just go back and watch a really good film like Rocky? I would prefer to watch a great film 50 times than watch 50 generic new films.
Thanks for reminding me of that one.Quote:

I think the first Rocky is a classic film. I never tire of watching it. The script is good, the music is good, the cast is just right. It's a great film IMO.
The Creed speaks for Stalone's Greed with Rocky franchised. It should have been dead for good. Everything has its time and place.
rocky and apollo were good mates yeah? how does rocky not know apollo has got a son?
It would have been better if that was Rocky illegitimate son after he had an affair with Apollo's wife.Quote:

When I say "not knowing" there's a lot of rumours that this movie will reveal what happened when Apollo and Rocky had their 3rd fight - happened behind closed doors, not sure if it'll be done using cgi or will just be spoke of, that's not been revealed yet?
I'd say Rocky edged it with closely fought late KO like the 2nd 😉
Rocky had a black eye at the start of the 4th and best film. That means Rocky probably got his ass handed to him by Apollo.Quote:

It is not a Rocky film or part of that franchise, it's taking the Creed story and going in a new direction. Rocky Balboa is just a character who features in that story. Who knows it might work.
Given Apollo died in 85 the character must be at least 30 - more plausible an age these days for heavyweights just starting a career than many years ago. Who can forget the "oh my god he's won the title back at 32" line when Ali beat Foreman.
Given that Apollo was supposed to be one of Rocky's best friends mind not sure how they going to explain how Rocky doesn't know him already ??
I'm sure in Rocky 2 you see Appollos kids running around the house when he's up on the top stairs reading through his hate mail aloud to his wife.
yes you do and that was 1979 so this guy would be 39-40 !
And I've just realised Creed's wife wasn't pregnant at his funeral !
Spooky - am sure they'll get round that one
Apollo must have had a fling
yep - the bastard
Creed won the third fight. Went home all pleased as you like and ploughed Trish and impregnated her.
Still doesn't answer the question of why Rocky doesn't know this kid. He and Adrien must have dropped Apollo's Mrs like a bad habit after he died, or maybe she blamed Rocky and distanced herself from them.
I did read a rumour that there will be no footage of Apollo in the film due to Carl Weathers flipping his lid and not allowing it. Apparently he wanted Stallone to write him into the Rocky Balboa film and Stallone was like...............but dude........you died?!? He threw his toys out the pram and said you aint using no footage of me.
That's no excuse! He could have came back as a Ghost, like in Happy Gilmore!Quote:

I tell you it is Rocky’s love child. Whilst he was consoling Apollo’s wife they got emotional and had sex. Adrienne found out and went off with Mr T.
