He is a victim of hollywood racism


Wow

after seeing a ton of 80's movies i can't help but point this out.

Take a look at predator. When he meets arnold and they arm wrestle. He is the one that gets dominated and gives in. And he HAD to get the most gruesome death of the movie. All the other characters were killed in 1 second (one even off screen) but we watch as he gets delimbed and struggles to survive. Wow.

Then look at the rocky movies. He has to be beaten by rocky in every movie. And he gets KILLED by Ivan drago, a towering white man!! HORRIBLE!!

I don't know if i should feel sorry for him for being portrayed like this or to hate him for offering to be, for the money.

He doesn't get beaten in every Rocky movie though, he wins in the first one. He's portrayed as the better boxer in the second one too, since Rocky clearly isn't in the same class and only wins that bout by pulling a dirty trick and switching to southpaw in the final round.

reply

But he doesn't switch to southpaw. Mickey tells him to but Rocky says, "No tricks, I ain't switchin'"
And he doesn't.
Creed loses because he can't go toe to toe with Balboa. He tries and loses.
The defining moment was when Rocky start hammering away on Creed's body. From there it's Rocky's fight.

Old post but you are dead wrong. You are correct on the dialogue but if you watch the final round Micky shouts ‘now!!!’ And Rocky starts hammering with the left totally catching Apollo off guard. Watch it again.

but that's a bunch of bull tho...ain't no way in hell whether or not rocky switched to orthodox style or southpaw, he beats Apollo Creed!..rocky was not committed to head movement on defense, instead just like in rocky iv he tilts his head forward and steadily chewing up violent shots to the head and face....if the refs were gonna stop the mike tyson and lou saverese fight in june 2000 in he first round and lou didn't take nearly as much of a beaten than rocky in the first 2 rounds of the movie why couldn't the refs stop the fight in the second round???...because of stallone's arrogance....stallone don't acknowledge real boxing other wise rocky i,ii,iii, iv would be like rocky balboa WHICH IS THE BEST OF THE SERIES!....rocky balboa is the closest thing to real boxing in which y'all would say it's boring....

reply

Rocky DOES switch....that is what leaves Creed stunned in Rocky II

reply

I assumed that the reason he had the most gruesome death in Predator was because his character was deceptive about the true reason for the team's mission. Characters like that tend to get the worst deaths in these movies.

you got a point. I wish he didn't take the role in this racist white propaganda thing called hollywood or white hollywood. Its used to promote white domination around the world by white terrorist.I'm happy I stopped watching tv. I also don't read the internet's white peoples ads and articles on yahoo, msn, aol as they are another outlet for this white peoples lies, propaganda etc.
