He just passed away. Not much to say other than he was legendary in everything he did.

Last time I saw him was something to do with Sandler's Kennedy Center award last year. He looked good. Damn this sucks. A legend.

RIP Apollo/Chubbs

Man doing those FanDuel ads with Gronk did him in.


Damn shame to see him go.

Him and Arnold gave the world cinema’s most iconic handshake/high five. RIP king.

A truly underrated part of what made Happy Gilmore so great too.

RIP

When I told my gf I had never seen Predator, she made us watch it the following week. When they did the handshake I literally did LeoDiCaprioPoint.gif and blurted out "oh, that's that meme!"

Hope he doesn't push too many pencils on the other side, that son of a bitch.

RIP

Trust me to watch Rocky 4 at three in the morning today and this happens.

This bums me out. I've loved him in everything and the guy had so much charisma. He was having a good comeback with The Mandolorian too.

Action Jackson is the underrated ridiculous 80's action movie everyone has to see. Road House, Commando, Cobra, etc get all the attention. But, Action Jackson is amazing and Weathers is great in it.

Action Jackson also has evil Craig T. Nelson which is always a plus

I own those of course. Too bad it was made for TV so we don't get a sex scene with Hulk/Tweed ala Piper's fucking Tawny Kietan (Sp?) in a movie from the same era. We do get a up close of Tweed's camera hidden in the cleavage for us pervs.

Uhhh oh on topic.... I liked Weathers of course. Big Rocky series fan. Shame he got weird and wouldn't do the Expendables and IIRC made a stink during Creed 1 and wouldn't allow them to use his image or something like that.

Kamala and I will recreate the beach scene in Rocky 3 at CXFcon '24

Ope. Already posted. Back to pushing pencils for me.

Are we sure he's not just acting?

Apollo Creed's Rocky IV Death Had Doctors Convinced Carl Weathers Was Actually Hurt - /Film

Apollo's fight with Drago is more than a little terrifying.
