Rocky Climbed a Mountain (Rocky IV filming locations)

[@mountainclawoutdoors]

Beat-up shoes and branches lol 😆

[@title214]

I couldn't imagine hiking in worn out shoes and jeans.

[@DCGMatthew1]

A classic series.

[@pixiepower684]

2022 has been an awesome refreshing resurrection period for Cinemassacre, with James being able to put more heart and creativity into his work compared to the last few years, and this might just be the ultimate highlight! After watching this, I have an itch to get back to some serious personal filmmaking, so cheers to you James! (Side note, Sly Stallone is technically aware of James' existence and that's rad!)

[@camero220]

Rocky Jumped A Park Bench is easily a top cinemassacre movie for me. So excited for this.

[@rewster7]

I love these documentaries, like the one where you found the last remaining Blockbuster Video location. I wonder where the next journey will take place

[@garyv2498]

This was fun. I'm more disappointed that you were discouraged by a sign than you were by f'n mountain.

[@Darth_Nerd]

Don't worry about not making it to the top, do you think that Stallone actually climbed it??? Heck no! He more than likely had a helicopter drop him at the peak for the shot and then take him to the safer location. So no worries

[@sodeiku]

yes, it's a shame that this kind of video don't generate much view, and doing it must be more expensive than regular avgn video

[@ConstantineFurman]

If it makes you feel any better James, that's not Stallone on top of the mountain in the helicopter shot. Stallone has an aversion to heights and had a double/stuntman stand in for him for that shot. So Sly didn't go up there either. Also, Rocky seems to fight on Christmas in "Rocky V."

You made a whole trip to go climb a mountain and film a documentary about it, and you didn't bring any climbing equipment or hiking gear. What were you guys thinking?!

[@chrischandler889]

What were they thinking!?!?!?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I do love the “What were they thinking” reference, but as someone who has climbed mountains before, I can tell you it’s not as simple as just bringing climbing equipment. Any pro doc you’ve seen with dangerous mountain climbs are skilled climbers with skilled cameramen and have worked out thousands of dollars of insurance. This was two fans finding filming locations. I’d say they did quite well.

[@chrischandler889]

@@JTCurtisMusic for sure. I'm a big fan of James and I have lots of respect for the guy. Im also a father of 2 daughters and relate a lot when he talks about them.

[@rivrav3.597]

It seems crazy but I get it, recently I went climbing a mountain near where I live and I always thought “well what’s the point of climbing gear it’s not that big” half way up I had almost died like 6 times and my legs were killing me so I turned back thinking about how if I wouldn’t have worn shoes with HOLES in them I could have made it further

[@FrancohGZ]

​@@JTCurtisMusic Dude, James expected to climb a mountain peak which saw in a movie using twigs while wearing jeans and worn out sneakers. This was below being an unprepared film production, it's plainly against common sense.

[@ultramk2698]

What disqualifies it from being a documentary? In the description it is described as a documentary, so even if this didn't qualify as a documentary, or part of a series of videos in a Rocky film franchise shooting locations documentary, some would likely still refer to it as a documentary because of the video's description.

So putting the coordinates James called out (43°35'08.1"N, 110°53'24.0"W) will take you to the mountain. If you drag the little guy out for a street view, there is a blue dot you can drop and see a 360 picture. In the picture a woman is sitting on the box James was asking about.

Some people grow up pronouncing a word incorrectly at childhood and it just sticks with them into adulthood. I knew somebody who said "comparishon" instead of comparison and shasm instead of chasm. He didnt even think about that he was pronouncing it wrong, just "that's how I've always said it"

There was a tiny part of me hoping that somehow James was going to find a way to that point...and find Stallone up there laughing and smiling. He's say something like "Hey Yo, James Rolfe, right? Hey hey! What took you guys so long?" I say this because the guy mentioned that Stallone knew they were going to be here...and I was hoping for a super surprising cameo.
