Filming also took place in Philadelphia. [24] In early February, an empty store in Philadelphia was converted into a boxing gym, where some training scenes were shot. [25] [26] The film's ending fight sequence also posed a challenge because at the time Talia Shire was busy making the drama Old Boyfriends and couldn't be on the set. So Stallone came up with the idea of having her watch the fight from home because of the new baby. Adrian's scenes were actually filmed some months later, toward the end of the shoot.

The time of the fling was not exactly revealed, but it had to have been sometime around the summer of 1985, before the date of Apollo's death. Apollo died before discovering the existence of his third child, and a baby boy was born, named Adonis Johnson Creed, June 1, 1986. Stay in school and use your brain. Be a doctor, be a lawyer, carry a leather briefcase. Forget about sports as a profession. Sports make ya grunt and smell. See, be a thinker, not a stinker" ―Apollo Creed In 2018, Apollo's legacy continued on through Adonis, who now won the WBC Heavyweight title from Danny Wheeler. Not to long later, Ivan Drago, the man who killed his father, came along with his own son Viktor Drago.

"Carl Weathers On The Advice Apollo Creed Would Have Given To His Son Adonis". Screen Rant. In the coming years Creed met and married Mary Anne. They eventually had two children together, a son named Alexander and daughter named Aretmis. [2] Apollo and Mary Anne did have a good relationship; however Mary Anne had tolerate being married to a boxer, having needed to assist him after a bout. She would have to carry up the stairs of their house because he could not walk, or had to aid him as he went to the bathroom because he could not use his hands. It's truly a remarkable feat. Differences? We've already met all the characters. Gone is the sense of discovery, the sense of learning who these people are. We already know, don't we? Yet, Stallone's characters are sufficiently interesting enough for us to want to spend more time with them, seeing them in a world most of us don't know, living a life few of us would really want. While the sense of discovery about these characters is gone, our joy of being a voyeur into their world is not.
