ROCKY Filming Locations YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE in 2020 and some DESTROYED - Philadelphia

I WANNA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ICONIC ALL TIME GREATEST CLASSIC MOVIE 🎥🍿 I REMEMBER WHEN MY DAD TOOK ME TOO THE MOVIE'S WHEN IT FIRST OPENED

[@user-nu4um2gr3d]

I lived in this neighborhood in the early 2000s and learned all these spots from the locals. It's a cool spot.

[@user-nu4um2gr3d]

Running in Philly for some reason is more hard on the legs than any other city I ever lived in.

A Rocky marathon was on today and watching it is such a painful reminder of how good things were back in the 70s and 80s compared to where we are as a country today.

[@glendawoodward8750]

I wish we could go back 😞

[@timothydesoto1707]

I was six years old in 1976. My dad took me to see Rocky with my two brothers. No other movie has ever had the effect that Rocky did on me; before or after. It is by far my most favorite movie of all time. It kind of makes me sad to see the effects time has had on many of the locations, but I really appreciate the effort you took to make this video. I thoroughly enjoyed evry bit of it.

[@TINInBILLY]

Me too brother. I’m with you 100% on the current neighborhood, & effect the film had on you from a child up, did the same for me. Never could a movie surpass this one in my mind. I’ll post my comments above now.

Well a little segment of your video brought back some childhood memories of mine. You showed an old ship as you were driving past it (12:59) and I thought that ship looked familiar. So I looked it up and sure enough it was the ship that my parents and I attended an auction (back in 1984) for it when they were getting rid of the stuff off of it. The SS United States. My family used to have a bunch of stuff from it including a barber chair that sat in our living room. My dad actually was on the local news when he bought that chair. Thanks for showing that little segment. Put a smile on my face. “America’s Flagship”. It was built in my home town at the shipyard where my granddaddy retired from. 🙂

[@TampaJay]

That is so cool I circled all the way back just to get a shot of it. It reminded me of the titanic

[@mustangcindy1303]

Philly is a Democrat city like most of them. Why are so many buildings run down, trash on the ground, and graffiti? That’s Democrats for you. The current mayor is a Democrat, Jim Kenney. 90-100% of the poor/black areas of the city voted for Biden and gave him the 20 votes and the presidency. He only needed PA to win. I live near Allentown, 55 miles north. Those dummies in Philly just voted for socialism and a return of Obama policies. Next week, on the 20th at noon, welcome to the United Socialist States of America. Why did the USSR have Socialist in its name? Until Gorbachev, they had very little freedoms, no private property, government ran everything, and they were taught to hate the West. And Christianity was forbidden.

You did a great job and you were very brave to film so close to some of the locations (particularly Rocky's front steps). Sad to see that the pet shop is gone, Lucky 7 tavern is gone, and Paulie's house looks so different. You mentioned that Paulie tossed the turkey in the side alley, however I think he tossed it out back (he mentioned that they did the turkey toss scene several times and someone caught it each time!) It was also sad that so many locations were fenced or under construction, but overall you did a great job providing flashbacks to the scenes you were referring to. When you walked over the bridge to the tavern, is that the bridge that Rocky runs across with the kids in Rocky II? I particularly enjoyed the background you provided running along the river and up the steps. GREAT JOB!

Great work. It took a lot of dedication to find some of those places and then put it all together in a video for the fans. Regarding your question of whether Stallone got sad filming the scene with Butkus, I am fairly certain the dog in the film is the dog he had to sell, and as soon as he got his advance for Rocky, he bought Butkus back. If that is in fact the case, he was probably quite happy to film that scene. J$H Wednesday 09.30.2020 8:28 PM

[@TINInBILLY]

BRAVO…brother…! That was an amazing time capsule you took us down. I have always wanted to visit there since Rocky took hold of me back in 1979. I was too young to see Rocky. Part 2 was out summer of 79’ & I was 7. Saw it with my friend and his mom, then, convinced my aunt again (who was keeping me one day), then my Dad (on visitation weekend), my mother, then a cousin & his fam, ALL in the summer of 79! RARELY have I seen a film twice in theatres. This one touched my young soul to its core! I couldn’t wait to see part 1 but this was well before VCR’s became affordable. Movies always came on National TV 3 yrs after their release back then, & I stayed up one night at my grandparents to watch Rocky which hit mainline around the holidays 79 I’m guessing. Never has a movie inspired me so much! I LOVE the passion you put into this, the lines you brought back to us which went with the locations. TOP NOTCH bro! If you had had time or ever in the future, I would have loved a part 2; the Rocky 2 locations. The run with the kids before the fight, Adrian & his first home, the hospital & nearby zoo, maybe the meat/butcher job where he pounded meat etc. Also, the home they lived in in part 5 etc. Of the Rocky films I adore in order Rocky Rocky 2 & Rocky 6 Literally, on Same par with Rocky 2, which I cannot believe I’m saying, I never thought 6 was gonna be good, being 5 wasn’t all the great (but I liked 5 enough bc they were back in the neighborhood). There were many other reasons I felt 6 was gonna over play the series, but BOY was I so wrong! I cont to like it as a spin off with Creed too. MY FAVE LINE of the ALL; Rocky: He comes back in the middle of the night to lay down with Adrian after walking down to the right venue; She wakes, and he says: “I can’t do it” Adrian “what are we gonna do? “It really doesn’t matter if I get my head split open. Nobody has ever gone the distance with Creed, but if that bell rings, and I’m still standing, I’ll prove to myself I’m not just another bum off the streets”. BRILLIANT DRAMA..that’s Rocky. It’s not a Sport/Boxing film at all, it’s about the hard knocks of life, & rising above mentally 🙌🏻

[@brandashusband]

Tampa Jay .... Thanks so much for these memories. First of all, I've been a fan of the Rocky movies since the very first one. But these memories are special for many different reasons. In 2010 my wife was a patient at Cancer Treatment Centers of America there in Philly. As such, she took one of their tours of Philadelphia, much of which was familiar to her anyway from her childhood. But when they did a stop at the famous museum steps, she just had to stand in the footprints and pray to God for a knockout victory over the disease she (we) fought so hard against for so many years. But like Rocky, that victory was not to be as she did indeed "go the distance", and left this world on August 28, 2010. There's more, certainly, but I'll just leave the rest unsaid for now. Thank you again; I loved your video and will probably watch it a few more times as that fateful "anniversary" makes it's way back into my heart. God bless.

I don’t know what it is like to suffer Such a tremendous loss of a soulmate, i cant imagine how hard it must be. My thoughts are with you my friend. I had such a great time in Philadelphia I cant wait to return again. I really enjoyed my time the city I hope you are well and wish you the best my friend. Thanks again so much

Excellent work...brings back so many fond memories from 77 when the movie came out. Would have loved to take a look inside his old apartment that he told Adrian was "just temporary"...lol

Why would Sly be upset filming with Butkis? Butkis was the actual dog that he sold, but was able to buy him back when they bought his screen play for the film. He sold him not long before he got the deal to make Rocky. So, if anything, I think Sly was happier than anyone could imagine. Not only did he get his dog back, but got to put him in the movie, as well as Rocky 2.
