PUNCHED TO DEATH | ROCKY IV
The Death: Showboating patriot Apollo Creed gets his lights knocked out — permanently — by Soviet cyborg Ivan Drago and his fierce left cross during a boxing match.
Dr. Yaun Says: “Apollo is already suffering a concussion — bruising of the brain — going into the final round. The pummeling directly to the head is basically making the brain hit the inside walls of his skull like a rattle. The final punch opened so many vessels inside Apollo’s head that the brain actually suffocated in the blood.”
We Say: Traumatic brain injuries were never so homoerotic!
