stars and stripes
Apollo Creed
In the Rocky series, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) is the The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Prince of Punch, and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. He throws Rocky Balboa a bone by giving him a shot at the title. Little does he know that they’d become nemeses, and later best buds.
Vanilla Ice
Try as he might to make a new name for himself, Robert Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice, will always be remembered for such classics as “Ice Ice Baby” and “Ninja Rap.” While the rapper now dresses like a member of Limp Biscuit, it’s his hi-top haircut and harem pants of the ’80s that make his costume fun to imitate.
Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody’s Ass
In It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie goes America all over everybody’s ass when they start treading on him. He breaks into a patriotic song, declaring that he’s gonna sew a flag and ride a big truck and kick some ass. Rock, flag and eagle.
Billy Mitchell
Billy Mitchell is a brash and colorful arcade player who stars in the documentary King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. He’s best known for playing the first perfect game of Pac-Man, holding the world record in Donkey Kong, and, naturally, selling a line of hot sauces.
