Clubber Lane Dunks



I just say the Clubber Lang Dunks. Those who might not be familar might remember the name from Rocky 3. The character played by no other than Mr. T himself. He playd his role great and he really reminded of a old school verision of Mike Tyson. Just watch and you can see the movie.


But lets check out a little bit more about the fighter known as Clubber Lane.


Check it out below:


Little is known about Clubber Lang. Before Rocky's fight against him, he is introduced as being from Chicago (his nickname is "The Southside Slugger"). According to his bio in Rocky: The Ultimate Guide, James Lang was orphaned at an early age, and spent most of his childhood in the streets of Chicago, orphanages and juvenile facilities. Later as an adult, Clubber was sent to prison for five years, for one possible count of a felony and/or assault charge. But during his time being served he discovered boxing as a way to let out his frustrations and talent, which leads to the events of Rocky III. This is also evident in the game, Rocky Legends, where if you select Clubber's path, he starts out fighting in the Chicago State Penitentiary, in a ring actually inside the prison itself. The Internet Movie Database does not provide a name for his manager, though one novelization of the film called him "Donut."

[edit] Character
Clubber's character is much like his boxing style: direct, aggressive and uncompromisingly brutal. His fighting style and record show a similarity to a young George Foreman. His quest for respect from the press is much like Larry Holmes. Clubber is shown to seemingly enjoy fighting and inflicting pain on whomever he fights, he was shown to be willing to fight both inside and outside the ring, even attempting to taunt the newly retired Apollo Creed into hitting him just before his match with Balboa.

[edit] Plot
During Rocky III's intro, we see Rocky defeating numerous contenders in a montage. In this montage, Clubber is displayed as being annoyed at Rocky becoming a sellout. He is shown training himself and brutally thrashing other boxers until he becomes the number one contender. At the end of the montage, Clubber is shown yelling at Rocky's trainer Mickey, goading him to set up a fight between Rocky and himself. Later in the film, Clubber crashes a ceremony in Philadelphia dedicating a statue to Rocky and challenges him. To provoke his potential opponent, he proceeds to make comments of a sexual nature toward Rocky's wife, Adrian, prompting Rocky to lose his temper and accept the challenge, despite Mickey's protests.
Because of Rocky's deep concern for Mickey, who had suffered a heart attack during the match, and the hand-picked competition he was given previously, Balboa was unprepared for Lang, who defeats him in a second round knockout. Immediately after the fight, a bruised and battered Rocky approaches Mickey, whose condition has rapidly deteriorated, and is unable to admit to his trainer that he lost. However instead of lying outright about the result, Rocky opts to hide the truth by simply saying the match ended in a "knockout". Mickey slowly loses consciousness at that point and dies shortly afterward.
Days later, Apollo Creed, another former World Heavyweight Champion and one-time opponent of the "Italian Stallion" himself, approaches Rocky and encourages him to resume his boxing career. After some hesitation, Balboa agrees to be trained by Creed and undergoes an intensive regimen of diet and exercise, as well as numerous tips on various boxing techniques, as Rocky endeavors to reclaim the World Title from Clubber Lang. In the rematch, Rocky defeats Lang by knockout in round three.

[edit] Catchphrases
"I pity the fool." (Clubber originated the phrase, which has since become synonymous with Mr. T himself.)
"My prediction: Pain."
"Dead meat."
"Got a LOTTA MO fo you Balboa! A LOTTA MO!"
In the film, Clubber throws a temper tantrum in the locker room before his first fight with Rocky Balboa and refers to the press as "parasites and leeches." Mr. T would use this phrase several times in his career, including in a 1985 interview with David Letterman
