Apollo reading the hatemail


Anyone else find this scene hilarious? Especially when he reads the letter telling him to kill himself. I can imagine Apollo sitting on the internet reading hateful comments lmao.

This is one of the silliest points in the movie. The guy was the Heavy Weight champ "before" he met Rocky, he was bound to have gotten millions of hate mail letters. This movie makes it sound like he never received hate mail before.

ROFL, yes! Not only was it hilarious, it fit perfectly with his cocky, egotistical character. I can totally see him in present day banging away in LOUD KEYBOARD MODE in all the "Apollo vs. Clubber: Who would win?"-type threads.

In fact, if you haven't already seen this, this is the closest thing we get to a resurrected Apollo who's still pissed off about fan comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Lh10y3DBU.
