Hollywood may not recognize Carl Weathers but we fans know His roles were iconic...made movies memorable...Apollo Creed,Dillon,Chubs, Action Jackson, Det. Beaudreaux, Greef Karga... We love you Carl Weathers...Rip...
yup...don't forget FORTUNE DANE.
What are you talking about?
For black men , we appreciate him consistently bringing black alpha male energy to the silver screen!.❤✊🏾💯
Carl should have been an A list actor. Underappreciated.
'THERE IS NO TOMORROW,' 'THERE IS NO TOMORROW'. IT'S THE PHRASE/SENTENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET WHILE WATCHING ROCKY 🥊 3 AT THE AGE OF 16 IN 1982. 🇨🇾🇨🇾👍👍. R.I.P CARL WEATHERS.
“Action Jackson” should’ve had sequels, action figures, cartoons, comic books, video games, and a host of other things that should’ve built that film into a forever going and successful franchise in cinema history.
Jericho “Action“ Jackson should’ve been just as big & successful as Die Hard’s John McClane. It’s an absolute travesty.
Hollywood is a travesty
Great point. And how about Carl as the protagonist in Die Hard? He would have been perfect.
Not that I have any complaints about what Bruce Willis achieved. My point is that was exactly the kind of role Carl was overlooked for. Shame on racist Hollywood…the self proclaimed “bastion of liberalism.”
💯👊🏾✊🏾💪🏾
Action Jackson was supposed to be his Beverly Hills Cop or Die Hard, but a new company I think took over the filming company and it kind of got lost and put on the shelf and it never took off!
It's not a travesty. Some movies are big hits, some aren't.
He was one of the best actors of his time and should have gotten his flowers. Hollywood was knew it but purposefully discriminated and didn’t value his talent.
Yup. 💯.
That same racism continues to this day for black actors.
Hollywood is horrible.
Its that way not by race but by politics nowadays @alvinbanks
Yea pretty much 💯.
He should of got so much more! He had so much potential and should of blown up big like Arnold, Sylvester, Jean Claude, Wesley and Bruce. A very underrated actor RIP CW 🙏
Are you referring to Bruce Lee, or Willis? f
Bro was a NFL player. And actor. He pushed his limits😢😅
@Rubrick23. Yes, I'm aware of that and was taking more movies and lead roles.
RIP BEAUTIFUL BROTHER
Carl Weathers brought the character of Apollo Creed to the big screen. The development of this character was the main reason the Rocky franchise lasted longer than expected. Big time role model especially in Rocky 3 when he helped the down and out Rocky. He will be missed
Love you Carl Weathers. Prayers for your family and friends.
Rest In Power CW.....very underrated and ultra talented actor!!!
ACTION JACKSON is a very UNDERRATED Movie that i always enjoy watching till this day
Carl Weathers was definitely an underrated actor and why I don't know.. He's only remembered for the Rocky movies and being killed off by Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 .. Definitely a very good actor and if there was no Carl Weathers there was no Rocky movies Sylvester Stallone even admitted it.. R.I.P My Brother you will forever be missed KEEP PUNCHIN APOLLO 🙏💙🥊
Yep.Carl Weathers should have been given top star billing in more movies.He was so talented.
Yes, his career could’ve been “bigger” or more successful.
However, none of us knew the man. I never heard the man complain about his career.
Some actors are content with supporting roles and actually prefer them over leading roles.
Also, maybe he didn’t have the best agent. We can only speculate.
May he rest peacefully.
Rest In Peace Carl Weathers.
News Flash: We like Action Jackson. It's an 80's Cult Classic
Wish we had gotten to see an Action Jackson Axel Foley buddy movie. In Detroit.
Has anyone noticed that every major role he had he died?, in Rocky he died, in predator he died, even In a comedy Happy Gilmore he died, Sounds like a Hollywood invoked curse to me.
He didn't die in Action Jackson
He didn't die in action Jackson
He died in Rocky... IV
@@martincote6499 . the whole point we are making is that he didn't die in every f****** movie ..ASS
He survived the mission in Force 10 From Navarone.
I truly loved Carl Weathers. I enjoyed Action Jackson. It was rare to see a movie poster with two Blacks on a Billboard. 😊
I wish he had gotten more from Hollywood but I will cherish the cinematic memories he left us with. RIP Carl. May the road rise to meet you. God bless 😇
If we ever had a black superman, it was this guy. Thank you, Mr. Weathers, for being that dude.
There's just nobody like Carl Weathers!
A true inspiration for just everyone.
Only he was the one who could do justice to characters like Appollo... And because Carl performed these characters, Appollo became immortal!!
These petty things like discrimination and all that racial nonsense just can't matter when you have people so great as Carl Weathers! ✊💪
God bless you wherever you are sir.
Keep punching, Appollo!
No matter what role he played, I just saw Apollo Creed. That’s how good he played that role.
I can tell you this.. I tune in everytime............ On *HBO* for *Mr. ACTION JACKSON* Awe the 80s😌🌠❣️ *ONE LUV*
And he never wore a dress or played a gay role
But Terry Crews does.
The truth is they limit all movie/TV viewers to 1 black star while Hollywood has 50 Caucasian counters. They don't want multiple black actors because of fear it'll overshadow others.
There's heavy obvious racism but that's an inconvenient conversation for those who don't want to acknowledge it, it's 2024 and nothing's changed.
I just pray he gave his life to Christ.
I just saw him last year at a comic con in Michigan. R.I.P.
I hope Hollywood realizes what a great loss it has! Condolences to his family but also to his colleagues and friends, such as Sylvester Stallone, Arnold...etc. God rest him 🙏🏼🕯️
Rocky 2 inches was crazy to hear
So was 3 and 4 inches...
If he was in the movie I was buying a ticket. Thank you for the years of entertainment. RIP.
Fk Hollywood in its entirety. They sure gave me some good movies. Alot of great memories, but the abuse that goes on behind the scenes
is absurd. Hollywood is a cult following. It seems they out the actors who wont suck paynus (literally) and play ball. Carl I loved you as a child and still in death. In your sleep they said. Fitting for a Legend. Rest easy brother.
One of my Super Heroes has left me, now you can Rest In Peace. We will miss you uncle Carl. When Action Jackson came out, forget Superman. I was Carl Weather. One thousand years ago, he would have been a King of one of my tribes……..here, not Africa.
Back in the 80's we didn't give a shit about skin colour
We just loved great action movies and comedies
There will never be another time like it, and I was blessed to grow up in the 80s
We are not surprised that Hollywood is racist. To compare him with Denzel, is another move to divide us as Africans people. We know that both are fantastic actors and came at 2 different times and paths. He was a talented performer . He one of the best to do it.
Maybe Dillon should have survived Predator and then play Glover's part in the sequel. He could have been like Chief Brody in Jaws 1 and 2. He could have known from his previous experience and then show up in a later sequel like Alan Grant did in Jurassic World.
Good concept.
They could have made them relatives perhaps.
I have been a Carl Weathers fan ever since I saw Rocky 2 days after it won the Best Picture Oscar. Rocky was a character driven Drama about achieving your dream. In the first film, Rocky tells Adrian that there's no way for him to win, but if he goes the distance that, in itself, will be a victory. Unfortunately, the Rocky films turned from an artistic endeavor into a long MTV music video in Rocky III and Rocky IV.
Weathers had his own starring role as the title character Action Jackson. But it didn't succeed at the box office. He also starred on his own Detective show called Fortune Dane. Hollywood has never been kind to men with muscles and he isn't any different. Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Fox had no muscles but trained as actors.
He was the best character boxer I’ve ever seen, I mean to the point I wanted to move like him if I was a boxer. He was a role model.
This man is an icon & deserves his props!!!! I don't think the "Rocky" franchise would have made it without him!!!! REST IN PARADISE!!!😭😭😭
i BET he was POOR compared to other actors he worked With, damn SHAME
No my man was a entrepreneur
By time of his death, he was starting to make a comeback and his networth was starting to finally climb as well. He had climbed to around $8M, which is pretty good, but still an insult to his caliber.
@@jasonsterling4129 YES!
"Street Justice" was a very good series and I loved to watch it.
I never seen Rocky 3 inches...what year was that released?
Rocky 3 was released in 1982.
A force to be recognized and remembered. Thank you Sly Stallone!
Talented actor and very fine.
YEEEEEES♥️
Its sad that the great Carl Weathers is only getting his flowers after his passing he was a great actor
Man all of the guys that made my childhood and adult life awesome are making their transitions and there will never be people like the like of Him, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, Wesley Snipes, Denzel, and all the other actors of the late 70’s and 80’s blockbusters of Action, Comedy, Horror, and Drama. Let’s cherish these people while we have them ❤
Carl Weathers is one of the greatest action stars in Hollywood. He's part of the Big 3 for a reason (Stallone, Schwarzenegger & Weathers). Rest in peace you absolute legend.
Was saddened to hear of his passing. I always liked him. R.I.P. Carl.
Carl. WEATHERS IM 60 YEAR OF AGE AND I WATCHED U THROUGHT THE YEARS IN ALL THE ROCKY MOVIIES LOVED U CARL 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢I. JUST. CANT. BELIEVE UR GONE FROM US SOOOO. QUICKLY RIP. UR A HUNK OF A MAN WOW WEEE😢😢😢😢😢
😢😢🇨🇾🇨🇾
SOO damn talented. His comedic performance in happy gilmore was sooo great. Love weathers RIP!!
Carl Weathers has a very refined, almost elegant style of acting that is a little bit niche, and adaptable to any format that requires a respectable figure who supports the rest of the cast, whereas Denzel has a very leaderlike approach, where know matter where he is, he always seems to be able to project a sense of all-knowing wisdom, and that wisdom is applicable to everything, therefore it can spread and show itself in any film he's in, causing it to be successful. It's just two different types of people who contribute to films in different, but uniquely critical ways, which is necessary for the film industry as a whole because it means you're never lacking in what you need, which is just as important as being a top tier success.
“Why the hell we gotta get old…”
Carl says this before a private bout with Sly in Rocky.
This line has always stayed with me - RIP ❤
Carl had a good career. What's the problem?
Talking about looks back in the day Carl Weathers was just as handsome as Denzel Washington was when he started out. Even in the 2000's he was handsome. So call it as it was. Back in his early acting years the only roles that most black people got were in blaxploitation films. R.I.P. Carl! 😇🙏🏽💖
Was he not handsome til the end?
@@j5muscle
Weathers kept his physique in excellent shape even during old age. Not surprising, since he had an athletic background.
She actually pronounces Denzel’s name correctly. It’s pronounced: “Den-zl.”
We turned it into “Den-zell,” over the years.
It’s the same with Zendaya. Her name is pronounced “Zen-day-uh,” not “Zen-die-uh.”
Thinking Back, Carl’s acting was amazing.
He had an energy and explosiveness that was deserving of so much more
I grew up loving the movie "Action Jackson", that should have been a trilogy of movies.
Legend. 🇦🇺 😊
This is why we need or own industries infrastructure and economic out lets.
You have your own shit. You even get free college for being black. Stfu
I regret not meeting him in Fan Expo Canada.
Hellywood 🔥 run by bunch of fallen angels/ demons, but not for long! Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Hallelujah! The Lord Jesus is exposing Hellywood for what it truly is! REPENT, before it is too late!🙏🏼
"Christianity is total falsehood the so call Jesus who never existed ("l've done the historical research") has been returning for centuries its all lies ; deception"
@@SamanthaGibbs-jt4pv lies straight from the pits of hell🔥
Thank you Mr. Weathers, the second the standard for us. Young brothers coming up even there. Sometimes you get wrong. I want to see you on the other side
Too dark to make the mark
Carl Weathers was a Smart Savy Business man and alot of his closes friend's and Big Time Actors in Hollywood knows the facts that he deserves More but sadly the industry didnt want to put him in that Number 1 Spot but Thankfully he roll with the Punches but Made roles Legendary and never be Forgetten🌴✨🙏🏾🕊️✨🌴🙏🏾🕊️✨🌴🙏🏾🕊️✨🌴🙏🏾🕊️✨
Hollywood is a PC club, hardly the entity to seek recognition from anymore. Weathers work stands and shows greatness
They are doing the same thing with idris Elba. Keep your eyes on that.
Carl should have had his own detective series..could have played any number of rolls.
He could have been Mr. Smith to Mrs. Smith..instead of Brad Pitt. Those kind of rolls..
Carl was a great actor and a stand up guy. He will be missed.
His leading men counterparts got a second chance after their 1st flop. Unfortunately, MR. Weathers only go one .
After the Black political activism of the 1960's and 70's, Reagan era Hollywood were affraid of promoting culturally overt, assertive and physically imposing dark-skinned Black Leading Men. So, the likes of professional Actors like Billie Dee Williams, Weathers, Poitier and Washington, Fishbourne and Jackson only had the option of being the leading men in theatre and indie flicks, until Eddie Murphy's "less imposingly" wiley Black Guy trope during the mid-1980's opened up Hollywood for Black Playwrighs, Producers and Directors like Alice Walker, Spike Lee, Robert Townsend and the Wayans Brothers, whom, in turn, created more roles for leading Black Male Actors in mainstream Hollywood by the Late 1980s.
as a i child Carl Weathers was always the great Apollo Creed to me. as i got older i discovered how much more he was beyond that role.
Hollywood drops so many deserving actors but when it's black, hispanic, asian, or any PoC its more noticable becaue comparatively there are so few. It's a shame because Carl Wethers could have easily lead the black action hero charge. He could have easily fit into any role Schwarzenegger played.
RIP and thank you again for the great memories 🔥🔥🔥he's hooking he's hooking damn rock what's the matter with you tomorrow there is no tomorrow thers is no tomorrow big facts
My favorite characters were Action Jackson and Colonel Carl Brewster on Tour Of Duty, and he was a Special Forces officer
at that!!!! But no matter what role he played, Carl Weathers BROUGHT IT, and he didn't hold back!!!!! R.I.P , sir, and my prayers for your family and friends!!!!!
It’s a little unfair to compare him with Denzel. Not many actors anywhere can live up to that !
This is a Great Breakdown!!! Rest In Peace to the Man!!!
I gotta say though, it gets confusing mentioning 70s TV Shows he was in like “Starsky & Hutch” and “The Bounty Hunter” by using the Updated 2000’s Decade Movie Posters when some people will think he was in those… And what is ROCKY 2 Inches, ROCKY 3 Inches, and ROCKY 4 Inches??? 😆
The movies Action Jackson and Hurricane Smith should have been made sequels. Me personally I enjoyed those movies. As for Hollywood, Hollywood always have been racist that is nothing new. We live in a racist society plain and simple. But I feel it will be dealt with when Jesus Christ comes back to judge the world.
Heck I could've told you that ! Look it how "Hollyweird" looked down on him & "Everyone Else" in "FORCE TEN FROM NAVARONE". Just because it didn't fit "Their Version" of a War Movie !.....Hollyweird had the same attitude towards "RICHARD PRYOR".
Denzel's appeal is he makes all his characters believable and I always found the same to be true of Carl. Carl once said that as much fame and exposure playing Apollo Creed brought him, he believed it typecast him in the eyes of Hollywood for a long time. I personally believe that he should have easily been nominated and won an Oscar for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Apollo Creed in Rocky. He was a great actor and person who brought his best to whatever role he played.
Not really sure the title does this video (or rather Mr. Weathers) justice. However, it was a great showcase of his career achievements.
Please edit the audio better though, the jumping of the music throughout was irritating, voice balance waa generally great.
It was refreshing to *not* have his personal life flung in their also, a lovely touch.
R.I.P Carl Weathers.
Hoping that Wesley Snipes does get shutout by Hollywood.
Honestly when you look at black actors there are quite a few where you wonder why their careers didn’t take off, or should have been much bigger than they were, especially when you look at how many starred in hugely successful films and yet didn’t get equally big follow up films.
❤ him in street justice 😢
The only problem with Action Jackson was the writing..not Carl
That should have been on par with Taken. A roll he also would have been great in.
He got Street Justice.
I wish they would have had him play T’Challa’s father (Killmonger’s uncle) in an extended role in Black Panther or something. That would have been a little weird though, with him being Adonis Creed’s father Apollo.
Btw, they shouldn’t have killed off Apollo.
Maybe he could’ve played an aged John Stewart/Green Lantern.
1:08 that wasn’t even Carl Weathers!
The actor getting off the plane was not Carl weathers it was thalmus rasulala
Carl Weathers is more of an Alpha than Denzel PERIOD...
Yo when did he play Street Justice ,I must have been in school or military
When Carl Weathers was on the Call Sheet he was the THE BEST on that sheet..And that includes if he acted along side Denzel Washington; which seems to be not the case
It's possible Hollywood might have more acting talent than it has film making talent. One could make arguments for him perhaps arriving at the wrong time, or whatever, and there is validity to that. The only thing I know for sure is, it's a tremendous loss we didn't get to see his amazing talent more. But, his body of work is that of one of the most captivating, versatile actors, period. He sold every scene, while also stealing it by just being the personification of charisma. You were looking at him, every time he was on screen. And damn if that doesn't say something.
Only hollywood insiders can truely answer this, anything else is just the usual internet BS. That being said it does make you question why the likes of Louis Gossett Jnr who LITERALLY stole the IRONEAGLE franchise away from Jason Gendrick due to his onscreen talent didn't get more opportunities in the 80s.
He was so believable in anything he played loved Carl weathers so sad for everyone X
I love Carl, but it's absurd to compare him to Denzel as an actor. Carl's career was pretty formidable.
There is no tomorrow!! 🙏 🕊
"The Italian Chicken" line😂
Carl Weathers was an amazing director as well, also just a heads up that is not Carl Weathers at 1: 06 on the time line.
I think Weathers did have his opportunities, but his shows and movies he starred in weren't successful. Also he wasn't the actor that Denzel is. I'm reminded of Dereck Luke who was touted as the next Denzel. If Boseman hadn't died so young he could have been
the next Denzel.
Now its up to Michael B Jordan to be the next Denzel.
R.I.H CARL APPOLO CREED WEATHERS 🥊🥊🤲🏾🙏🏾
Them folks think they're slick the way they pronounce Arnold's last name. I've been hearing this a lot in the last 5 years or so.
Carl wheathers was on movies as an authentic tough guy before any of the other mentioned
Pam Grier is a tougher guy than any of them also
So bc he did reach the heights of Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy & others success, it must be discrimination of a black actor. Makes total sense. 😂
