Mr. T. as Clubber Lang in Rocky III, 1982
This is the role that made the tagline “I pity the fool…” famous. Mr. T. stars as Rocky’s near-lethal opponent and chief antagonist in the third installment of the Rocky series. In 1980, Sylvester Stallone first saw Mr. T. in an NBC special, America’s Toughest Bouncer. You’ve got to love 1980s programming.
