Ok, So the Rocky-Thon is on. Which villian would you dread to fight the most?

[The Hopkinator]

Ok ya got Apollo Creed, Mr. T ( Clubber Lang) , Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, Thunder Lips,,,.....

I think Mr. T ( Who by the way is an outstanding man in real life..) character Clubber Lang was AWESOME,, but Id freak the hell out at thunderLips because of the sheer size. Im 6'2 239 ,, Hogan was a FREAK in Rocky 3 ,, Taking on something like that would be akin to wrapping up with a freaking Yeti. Ill pass thank you very little...
Next in line is Clubber, Then Drago, Then Tommy ( over apollo because of the power in the punch thing...) But its Thunder Lips that if I yelled in traffic and he stepped out of a V W Beetle would cause me to pray that my "Hi-Speed Reverse " was in fine working order...

I'd save Drago. Those Soviets didn't mess around.

 

[CTF]

No contest: Drago.

Lundgren is a ****ing machine!

 

[The Hopkinator]

I'd save Drago. Those Soviets didn't mess around.

Yeah but Lundgren was 6'6 260 . Since its a size / strength factor going with either,, As much as Id hate to tangle with Lundgren , Id still poke him in the face before Id get me s a step ladder and poke ThunderLips. Wasnt Hogan like 6'8ish when that was made?

 

[Wes R]

I have to admit i'm not a huge fan of the rocky movies but they're such a slice of 80s Americana you have to enjoy them. I still wouldn't want to make Hulk mad even now lol

 

[CTF]

Yeah, right, and monkeys might fly out my butt.

He only seemed that tall 'cause Sly is incredibly short.

 

[The Hopkinator]

Quoted off the net which is always right :

he was once 6'7" but can now only straighten up to 6'4" due to injuries, although compared to other wrestlers and actors he appears to have been about 6'6" at his peak. He has been billed up to 6'9" in wrestling matches (nowadays usually at 6' 7"). He was originally called "Hulk" because it was noted at a match that he was taller than the actor who played the "The Incredible Hulk", Lou Ferrigno.

 

[Wes R]

He's lucky he can even move from what i've seen and heard. Then again the way his family spent money its no wonder he had to keep wrestling. ever notice in the 80s the no name wrestlers they'd have the big names go against all wore red shorts? its the star trek of wrestling lol.

I'd have to agree about Drago - he killed the master of disaster after all.

But if we are not just talking boxers, then Thunderlips would top the fearsome chart.

"To all my love slaves out there: Thunderlips is here. In the flesh, baby. The ultimate male versus... the ultimate meatball. Ha, ha, ha."

 

[CTF]

Pfft... look at all those words.

"I must break you."

 

[EvilRocketeer]

YouTube - I must break you

 

[BoozeBeGood]

I'd have to agree that Drago always seemed the most intimidating to me

 

[Westies14]

I never contribute to these threads, but...

Clubber and Drago seem like they'd both be very capable of mutilating me, but I'd probably be more afraid of Clubber for being so bat$#!* psychotic about it.

On a side note, I think Rocky Balboa is pretty fantastic and has the best end fight sequence of all the films!

 

[Jet Beetle]

Drago was taking super serum - he'd knock you head off!

YouTube - Ivan Drago vs Apollo Creed (A modern rematch)!

I've been lucky enough to also meet Mr T in real life and he is one of the kindest, gentle people who makes rounds around the cities he lives in passing out blankets and food to homeless people - he does this by himself, no press - nothing. The money he made from Rocky (besides the cash his lawyers stole from him) he donated to The Abused Children foundation and later with his A-Team money, he went on went to donate to burn centers, animal adoption services and the True foundation - who help those without money get medical care. Steven Cannell called him "The caring giant" because if he heard a story about an abused child he would become involved any way he could. When we met him my son was freaking out (scared) because I'd had him watch Rocky 3 the night before - by the time we left my son was hugging him and didn't want to say goodbye. He deserves a statue for all of the nice things I've seen him involved in.

I heard Mr.T was a nice guy, but I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that info, Jet Beetle.

Drago. Dude kills people.

 

[binkleywalker]

In hindsight, Tommy Gunn. 'Cause the actor guy had HIV. Lots of blood and sweat getting traded in that street brawl.

But any of those guys would kill me. She's no villian, but Adrian would be the only one I could take in a fist fight. And only if I got the first shot in. My endurance is crap!
