Oh I thought Apollo fought mr.t I'm 3. I guess he just trained rocky.
Rocky fights Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) in 1 & 2 (a draw and a win). Rocky fights Clubber Lang (Mr. T) in 3. Creed dies fighting Ivan Drago in 4; Rocky then fights Drago to avenge his friend. He wins but sustains permanent, career-ending injuries. In 5, Rocky is coaching/managing a young boxer.
I've never seen a single Rocky/Creed movie. Somehow I absorbed this info through my skin or something...
The first two are actually pretty good movies. Three and four are cheesy and entertaining. Haven't seen any more of them.
Young boxer is Tommy "Tommy Gun" Morrison, IIRC. An actual boxer who had a cup of coffee with the big boys.
The problem is, I don't like boxing and I'm not a Stallone fan. He was okay in a couple of movies I can think of (Oscar and Tango & Cash come to mind), but only because Tim Curry and Kurt Russell (respectively) carried the lion's share of the load in those films...
In 3 before he fought Mr. T. It was supposed to be a charity type thing but Hulk was kicking Rocky's arse so rocky cut off his gloves and went raped ape on hulk.
I think you named 2 of the 4 or so movies of Stallones I've never seen any part of. I honestly haven't seen all of Rambo at one time, bits here and there.
I've seen 1-5, Haven't seen any of the others. I wouldn't mind watching the Creed movies some time.
I have gotten smarter. I would fill out these surveys for this online company and they would say, look for your amazon gift card soon. They would wait several weeks and of course I would see something that talked about my gift card and thought it was phishing then and delete it. I probably tossed a couple hundred of amazon gift cards over the days. Finally figured it out and have starting banking them. Not sure why they have to wait several weeks to give me an online card.
I am not helping. Gone half as long but with same percentage.
Since I've been gone the men are 1-4 although the gals have gone 3-1.

The first 2 Rocky movies were before he became what Stallone became. At that point Rocky was a flawed, frustrated, underachieving meathead with an iron will and a heart of gold.
