Stallone also released a 90 infinitesimal behind the scenes documentary about the making of Rocky vs. Drago — The Ultimate Director'due south Cutting on YouTube. While showing fans how he culled through Rocky IV footage to make the new cutting, Stallone expressed his ultimate regret. He wishes he'd never killed Apollo Creed at all.
Why does Apollo die?
Stallone publicly apologized to Weathers for killing off his character in a 2019 happy birthday Instagram mail service reported by CinemaBlend. In Rocky IV, a retired Apollo agrees to fight an exhibition friction match confronting Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Severely underestimating Drago'due south strength, Apollo dies in the ring. This motivates Rocky to challenge Drago to a fight in Russia. However, Stallone at present feels he went too far.
"If I had to do it over over again, I never would have killed Apollo, absolutely non," Stallone said. "It was foolish. I idea I needed that kind of springboard to protect the drama, some really great powerful velocity forward."
Apollo Creed could have joined Sylvester Stallone in more than sequels after 'Rocky Four'
Apollo had a great graphic symbol arc in the Rocky saga. He was the champion in the outset film. Rocky 2 was their inevitable rematch. In Rocky Three Apollo trained Rocky to fight Clubber Lang (Mr. T). At present Stallone realizes he could have still given Apollo a dramatic injury, but kept him around after Rocky Four.

"Him in a wheelchair, he would've assumed the role of Mickey," Stallone said. "Now his physicality is diminished, we would've seen a different side of Apollo. He could've opened up to all these things that we didn't know nearly him because he's now in a wheelchair. [Apollo] would've kind of like been a begetter figure, mentor, blood brother, been really great. He would've been embraced by my family. Then he has his family as well. What about that whole thing?"
Apollo Creed might have saved Sylvester Stallone from 'Rocky V'
After the success of Rocky IV, Stallone tried to scale back the Rocky story. Even Stallone hates Rocky Five now, although we recall he's existence too hard on it. In Rocky 5, unable to fight anymore, Rocky tries grooming a newcomer. In Rocky Balboa, he'southward able to fight one more exhibition. Now, Stallone is thinking how Apollo Creed could have made those stories better. Unfortunately, information technology might mean discovering his long-lost son in Creed might not have happened.
"It would've changed the entire trajectory of all the Rockydue south," Stallone said. "Rocky V would've never happened and Rocky VI maybe never would accept happened that way. Creed probably never would've been made. Crazy, huh."

Or, Creed would've been made with Apollo reconnecting with and mentoring his own son. That might have been even more powerful, and Creed has already become a trilogy. Weathers has gone on to roles in Happy Gilmore, Chicago Justice, The Mandalorian, and more, but Stallone regrets writing Apollo Creed out of Rocky IV. Unfortunately, there's no footage where he survived so Rocky vs. Drago even so includes Apollo's funeral.
"He's gonna be pissed off, very pissed off," Stallone said. "For two more films, yep, another xx years. He'southward going to exist so aggravated. Distressing, Carl."
