    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.

    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. 🙂

      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!

To bad gazzos street looks so different now, looked the sameish when I went back in 2007. Where pollie worked I think they filmed that in la not philly Just to say also The ice skating rink was filmed in California not philly as I've seen on previous videos. In rocky balboa rocky says is this where the Ice skating rink was. It was never filmed in philly. I liked how you pionted out all the signs where things were to match the shot up. Brilliant

    Love your vids man. I love your enthusiasm and respect for these filming locations! Rocky is of my favorite film franchises ever. Glad you could take us with you on this journey! I also LOVED you Camp Crystal Lake vid :D Also want to say congrats on a tremendous season in Tampa. I’m a diehard St. Louis native, Cardinal fanatic. I played baseball with Jake Odorizzi. I know he played i Tampa for a bit. Anyway, thanks for vids!

    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
