Man was built like a greek statue, couldn't have any of the 80s classics without him.

 

[Lucas1980]

Lets not forget this highly underrated Gem

RIP...

Weathers in Happy Gilmore is extremely underrated

Watching this I just realized that they probably put him in an oversized cardigan in that movie to distract from how yoked he was at that age. Daaaaamn.

 

[Hagler]

Apollo died twice. RIP.

RIP...

Weathers in Happy Gilmore is extremely underrated

He wasn't just an action star his charisma and humor is what really made him so likable..

Such a shame he died in Rocky 4; would have been great to have him in the Creed Movies.

Yeah....but it played so well into the plot I think he knew he had to take one for the team as a whole.

True it made the Drago fight so much more meaningful and gave Rocky lejit reason to unretire. There can't be many of the original Rocky family left apart from the big man

Just realised Talia Shire still alive lejit thought she died in real life.

I feel like I’ve suffered his death twice. Seeing Drago kill him in the movie theater when I was 6 or 7, him convulsing on the floor… that hurt…

 

[kahiljabroni]

Rip legend. Guy looked like he'd never die. Anyone know how?

 

[Yorick]

What I just read was a statement from his family that said he died peacefully in his sleep with no cause given.
Regardless, great actor and human.
