Stallone lobs blow at “Apollo Greed” in Rocky Balboa Q&A |
Loading ...Gotta love the indomitable spirit of Sylvester Stallone. The guy won’t let the Rocky franchise die and in a 20 days of Q&A via Ain’t it Cool news, he answers a question about why Carl Weathers who played Apollo Creed (in Rocky I-IV) won’t be in a brief montage in the upcoming Rocky Balboa film due out December 20:
Apollo Creed is not in ROCKY BALBOA because he wanted many thousands of dollars for a two-second piece of he and Rocky boxing. Unfortunately we couldn’t afford it. Then again, what ever happened to loyalty? Apollo Greed?
Could Apollo be bitter he was killed in the ring by Ivan Drago in Rocky IV? Wasn’t his famous line: “No matter what … no matter what.”
Stallone should be penning his own blog, but there is at least an official (?) Rocky Balboa blog at blogspot of all places (why doesn’t Sly spring for his own domain?). I’m still wondering where is Yo’ Adrian? Has she dumped Rock or what? Seems like in all the clips I’ve seen that part of the storyline has been left out. I wonder if she leaves Rock or is killed off before the story starts?
My guess is that (yo) Adrian is already dead when the movie starts and that’s how the film opens…with Balboa at the graveyard. Just a guess…. Oh, and I CAN’T WAIT for this movie to open!! I’m so ticked off…the other night Stallone was here in Detroit (well, Southfield, MI), and he had a special preview showing of the flick. I can’t believe that I didn’t learn about it until it was over!!! UGH!!! But still…I can’t wait to see it!!!!
