Apollo's death.

 

I didn't know after all these decades that his last name was Goldmill.

I say Mickey. His father figure's death is far sadder.

ApollOWNED.

 

Mickey's death is one of the saddest deaths ever. That includes real life deaths.

 

Mickey's death kinda comes off as corny in the film. Apollo's has a the cool spasms and stuff.

Apollo's > Mickey's

 

I remember seeing Rocky IV in the theater, and being mad Apollo Creed died at the hands of a Russian. But I was glad Rocky kicked his butt.

 

Mickey.

 

Mickey loved him, you bum.

 

Rocky should have died just like Apollo. There is no way anyone can defeat teh Lundgren!

Mickey's death left you feeling sad and depressed, especially after Rocky was crying like a baby next to him.

Apollo's death just left you angry at those communist scum. "There's No Easy Way Out"

 

Apollo's. Definitely.

 

I found Apollo's to be less expected and therefore more sad. Both were well done though.

 

Mickey was worse.

 

Mickey's was sadder. Not only for the character, but also because you knew they killed him off because Burgess Meredith was really old and figured he'd kick the bucket soon. Of course as it turns out he lived and acted for another 14 years so naturally they brought him back for flashbacks in Rocky 5.

 

surely the death of The Champ > anything in Rocky

 

No.

 

incorrect

 

Mickey

 

Mickey's death is supposed to make you sad.

Apollo's death is supposed to make you angry.

Mickey's is sadder.

 

Mickey. Everything in Iv, including Apollo's death, was so beyond anything even remotely realistic that it became one giant parody of itself.

 

Other: I've never seen Rocky.

 

I get the feeling movie endings have just been ruined for me.

 

More like movie middles.

Saying that Rocky's final fight results from film to film are lose, win, win, win, win, lose ruins the endings.

But how you can live this long in America without knowing these things already is astounding to me.

 

I live in a bubble of sorts, when it comes to movies. This is probably Miana's cue to mention that up til a year ago, I'd not seen Jaws, as I recall that being her big one to cite.
I got very far in life without seeing many movies. For example, the only Jack Nicholson movie I've seen is Little Shop of Horrors.

 

Not even Batman?!
