Sylvester Stallone is a living legend, he is such an inspiration 🥀❤ he literally came from nothing, and deserves everything he's got 🥀❤ unlike the Kardashian/Jenners 🙄
Living legend indeed!!! Has Scott done one on Ed Gein? Now that guy is a legend!!!! Sooo many movies came from that dude!!! Have a great weekend brother and be safe👍
It's hilarious that you are completely unphased going to those very sketchy city locations, but you were so concerned when you visited Madonna's boat! Great vid as always
Some parts of Philly are terrible though! Haha. We lived in a suburb and that’s probably a reason why I never went and saw these locations besides the statue LOL. Glad you’re safe!
@@SCOTTONTAPE I flew into & drove from Philly to Dallas in April. Daaaaamn, long ass drive. I knew it was however it felt sooooooo much longer driving vs "Waze-ing" it. 😆 You SAY you're not good at impressions but I thought it was a voice clip. HOLY SMOKES, LOCK YOUR FRIGGIN DOORS & keep windows up as best as you can. I understand you were filming I'm just saying, I would have been freaked the hell out. I couldn't do that by myself. I freak out with oddball characters. Mainly because I'm a single mother to a 6-year-old son so I wouldn't have done that. However since you're by yourself, obviously less danger but it is still DANGEROUS & I KNOW I am NOT the only one who cares about & wants you safe. Hopefully you packin heat. [Or maybe Darryl [Daryl?] is/does. 😆🤘 YOU AND your channel are very well done. I like the way you speak to us in the videos. It's seems much more like a friend telling us stuff.
you were in zombieland scott. i went through there to look at the rocky house too and i got stuck at a redlight look over to my right and some dude whips off his belt wraps it around his arm and starts shooting up. i had my wife and kids in the car so that was a weird situation. good thing kids werent paying attention and light turned green
Love this movie so inspiring! I spoke to his wife Jennifer when I ordered some skin care products off of her! Sweet lady, my first talent show was a baton routine/dance to "Eye of the Tiger" LOL YOU made it out alive!😬😅👍
Ok I see what you meant about the filming locations! And yes it was the Spectrum in Philly and it was torn down. I can't believe you were so close... I'll see you next time.
The picture of Justin Bieber was scary. The studio wanted to buy the script/rights to Rocky from Stallone & he said "NO". The smartest decision he ever made. I didn't like the statute not being on top of the stairs anymore. Its not the same. Stallone has appeared out of no where & surprised some tourists on top of the stairs when the statute was there
I just saw this video… I laughed so hard!! I live in Delaware but it’s only 15 minutes away to Philly… and yes it does stink… 😂 thank you for bringing me to laugh… I so needed this. ❤️
Thanks Scott, awesome video. Always appreciate the effort you go through to film. As Rocky said in 2006, "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows". Rocky has so many classic lines but I don't think they will beat yours, "That's a nice glow, I look like I'm covered in afterbirth", love it
During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out. Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup. As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor, whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd. Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began to chant 'ROCKY, ROCKY'. The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters.
Wow! I didn't know that Philly was that bad! I was laughing so hard listening to your commentary of the people you encountered. Filming locations is my new favorite thing. Keep doing what you do. I love it.
Thank you, Scott! As always a great video tracking down all these filming locations. Appreciate your perseverance and detail in getting all these shots in rough neighborhoods. Be careful out there! I'm still so appreciative of the Madonna Papa Don't Preach Ghost Ship. You're the best!
It's always cool to see a place you have visited so you can point and say Hey I've been there and stood right where he's standing! :) Philadelphia is a beautiful city but the forefathers really didn't take into consideration the parking situation :)
Thanks Scott! That was awesome. Your impressions of Rocky and Mickey were great. Too bad they tore down the pet shop and bar. 2 iconic locations but suprisingly a lot is still there!
I just got to watching this video a year after Scott put it up. Sorry, I'm slow on viewing content. The original Rocky movie is hands down one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time. The streets of Philadelphia are so tight and narrow. No parking anywhere. I applaud Scott for lining up all the shots. I love the same screen split footage comparison from then and now. A lot of other You Tuber Channels don't take the time to do that in their videos. One has no way to compare then and now unless doing it yourself on the computer. Awesome!
Scott you made a comment about the parking and the streets. I used to drive a semi truck and went into Philly. That's definitely something I wish to never to be apart of ever again
You do such a great job of these videos. I love the way you overlay the movie footage so we can see exactly how it's the same location. And, what an iconic movie to do. Just thinking that in 1976 when he filmed it, Stallone was just an absolute nobody, with a completely uncertain future. No way in hell did he think he was making something iconic that was going to be just as big almost 50 years later as it was when it came out. Not only is the movie one of the most endearing and iconic ever made, but so is the theme and the soundtrack. Not just the theme, but that melancholy piano music you used, and that was used throughout the movie. 100 years from now, people will still be talking about what a great movie this is.
met Sly in 2014 for about 1 minute got to talk to him,mentioned to him how Rocky V was great and not to listen to the critics, said ' he appreciated it', great video Scott,some rough locations to try and film there
So glad you did this! It kind of sucks for me cause I lived in Philly for 6yrs and could’ve done this video so many times but that was before I was doing travel vids. Glad to see you made it there Scott! One of these days when I make it back I’ll have to do this one 😎👍👍
I am old enough to remember when this came out. My sister had the soundtrack on vinyl. Boy I am. Than you for risking life, limb and parking fines to bring this to us. Love this movie. Thank you brother.
awwwww man Scotty Thanks for covering this one man. my Grandpa came off the Boat from Sicily and he was a middle weight back in 1930's . He fought to put food on the table. Fighting he said so know one else had too. Rocky and the Movies give me Chills always!
Since the statue was removed from that location the stairs, i very much admire how his shoe print and name is there.. Very nice and dedicated way to honor him from the film. us fans to see he did that, he was there. And nice to see that he alive to see all this. Very humbled.
I have never watch a Rocky movie but will watch this with the ads Scott with a thumbs up 👍. Don't burn yourself out, you look a little tired AND KEEP HYDRATED. Much love from Australia 💛🇦🇺 xx
Thanks for all of your efforts to make this video happen. VERY much appreciated. Working from home, this video inspired me to watch Rocky 1 for the millionth time. Thanks
Watching all the Rocky movies again for like the 20th time I reckon and who better than to give me guided tour haha, I love what you do Scott!.... you da man haha
I laughed when you started singing "Eye of the Tiger".."that's not till part 3"😄 loved all the Rocky movies,but part 4 was my fave..when he defeats Drago.
Yeah 4 was the best with Rocky beating Drago in Russia followed by part 3 with Rocky getting his rematch against Mr.T and beating him and getting his title back with Apollo Creed Training him
Scott, that’s where I was born and raised!! South Philly!! My School “Epiphany of our Lord” it was called, and the convent parking lot for nuns they walked through , and my church I attended!! I remember it well!! We kids went crazy over this filming! We were quite proud as well!!! I don’t live live there no more, but I visit frequently. I have a whole Italian family still there, including my mom! That is the Benjamin Franklin Bridge , it’s near the Delaware River!!! I’m pretty sure 😊 Love this💕
Great video..Rocky one of my all time faves and I was born in '76 and to see how much these locales have changed and speaks to how old I'm getting but that's besides the point...ANYHOO..I was hoping you'd say "Screw you CREEPO" showing Little Marie's house😂 Nice video and a great series of videos! Keep it going!
I live in Florida now, but I was born and raised in jersey and lived in Philly for awhile. That neighborhood is still a true Italian neighborhood. And if you ever wanna hear great stories and great accents, talk to some Italians from the northeast. You won’t be disappointed. The absolute best storytellers
Original Rocky is my favorite. Philly is an anomaly...nowhere else like it. Have lived close to it for over 30 years and it still is surreal to me each time i go there. To see the locations match up like that after all this time...shows that not much changes. Love the video! ...all the time put into making it...especially in Philly on a hot day.
Hi Scott hope you are good. I love the Rocky's they are the best I have seen all of them. He train hard for them movies. He is one of my favorite actor. Great video thank you Scott your the greatest.
Philly is my city! I live outside of Philly really in the jersey burbs but when I go to a city it’s Philly! Been there many times and I love it!! Thx for paying tribute to sly and his movies! Well done Scott!! Ps if you don’t know the areas some are very bad as in most city’s.
This was awesome Scott!! Rocky is one of my favorite movies from growing up!!! Glad you're safe and your singing made me laugh my ass off!! And your Mick impression was spot on!!! 🤣Love ya!
Great video as always my friend!! Great movie!! Thank you for taking us to the movie locations!! You are a great guy!! Stay blessed!! Love you and your channel!! 💙❤️😇🙏🙏🙏💖💖✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
So glad you covered the filming locations of the movie that started it all, the original Rocky. I once lived in the neighborhood where Rocky's apartment was, the interior was a rooming house on 4th Street in downtown Los Angeles. Glad you had a chance to get those shots, because that area is more dangerous now than when I lived there in the late 80s.
@@danielevich6021 I'm not sure if the building is still there, since downtown LA has undergone gentrification in the last few years. James Spencer, who was the Art Director on Rocky, mentioned it in an article that I read and said there was a palm tree outside the window that they had to cover with a brick wall, since it was supposed to be set in Philadelphia.
@@Phillyguy316 Can you give me the address of the place? Is it near western Ave., or Figueroa? I've always wanted to see the place. I would go during the day to see it.
@@danielevich6021 I'm not sure of the exact address, just know that the interior was somewhere on 4th Street in downtown LA, but I am still doing some investigating on it. If iI find out the exact spot I will let you know.
Awesome video. I’m from South Philadelphia and live not far from a few filming locations so it was so cool to see you do this video and yes parking here is so bad haha and FYI yes some parts are rough around here some of our people don’t like strangers lol. I don’t mind people coming in seeing the filming locations I think it’s very cool and I’m sorry you had trouble.
Oh wow, guess I should count myself lucky, back in 2019 me and a friend visited philly in a dodge challenger and we hit all the rocky locations and parked up fine next to them all without any problems, guess we didn't realise at the time that we dodged the bullet lol, great vid 👍
Wow I'm glad you got to so many iconic places from this movie! City of Brotherly Love for a price huh? I am just happy you survived not only the parking but the steps too! Great job!
