In this post I will be exploring the traits of our lead characters Stocky and Apollo. It is important to establish personalities of characters before we start filming as the relationship between the 2 is essential to the story and the humour of the film.
Character profile - Stocky Bullboa:
Stocky Bullboa is the former heavyweight champion of the world, following a defeat by the widely feared 'Intimidator'. Stocky is single and not close with his family, the only person he had any sort of relationship with was his former trainer Mike Johnston. Unfortunately Mike passed away before the fight with The Intimidator, leading Stocky to take on the fight with no corner man. Stocky grew up in Wigan and joined Mike's boxing gym when he was 8 years old and pulled himself up to be World Heavyweight Champion. Now at 34 years of age following the defeat to The Intimidator many experts believe he is past it and should retire. Stocky also at times struggles from a lack of motivation, which can often be seen in his training.
Stocky has an orthodox stance and is famed for his hooks to the body. However, speed, general defence and technique have been his downfall.
