Viking Samurai who covers martial arts and 80's action movies on his channel had a nice retrospective on Carl Weathers. Mentions Apollo Creed but also his work in the Action Jackson films, and Happy Gilmore of course.



First half of the video is almost on topic anyways... then he just babbles as he is more prone to doing lol. But one takeaway...

"There is no tomorrow." - Apollo Creed in Rocky III.
Also Adam Sandler, his co-star in Happy Gilmore.

A Boxing Commentator I watch called Rummy's Corner did a very welcome tribute retrospective to Apollo Creed. Giving him the treatment he gives other real life boxing events, boxers and topics.



Great video analysis of the films, especially the boxing matches themselves and a very timely tribute being a really excellent and detailed lore video basically.
