Sylvester Stallone Revisits Mighty Mick's Gym in Philly 

And as Sly had previously noted, whenever people in Philly see him on the street, they never call him Sly, it's always "Hey Rock!" "Yo, Rocky!"

I love how Sly can just slip back into Rocky so effortlessly. That was awesome.

I like how he stayed humble, And the Rocky movies dont get old.

Stallone always seems to have stayed so grounded despite immense success, money and the ups and downs of his life. This is impressive!

2021 !!!! Truck driver : heyyy rocky!!!!! Rocky: yoooooooo !!!!! Truck driver : we love you brother!!!! Awesome 😎😎!!!

The original Rocky is still a powerhouse of a movie.

Even when people call him rocky he just goes back into character absolute brilliant

That must have been surreal for the driver that spotted him and yelled "Rocky". Happy for both of them.

I hear whenever Sly visits Philadelphia no-one addresses him by any other name than "Rock" or "Rocky". You know you done something right with your life when you have created a character out of your own mind that is so iconic, so realistic, that it resonates with everyone and they relate it to their lives. I wouldn't be the man I am today without Sylvester Stallone & Rocky Balboa.

He is a good man " I don't forget where i came from "

Sly is still in great shape.Looking fabulous.What a champion!

Still missing a brick on left side of door.

That was brilliant.. and that guy “yo Rocky”

HEY SLY.....I DONT KNOW IF YOU WILL EVER READ THIS BUT, I WANTED TO THANK YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOR THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.....I SEEN THE PREMIER OF ROCKY FOR 75 CENTS .LOL. WELL WORTH IT !!! ANYWAY SLY, I WANNA WISH YOU THE VERY BEST ALWAYS. IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN. TAKE CARE....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVELY FAMILY. GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS SLY. JOE.

What a legend.

He was broke and had to sell his dog to survive, and turned down 300k for the script in return for being Rocky. What a legend

I am from India...but when I watched this movie..I feel that I am in this story..

"You're gonna eat lightning, you're gonna crap thunder", I miss Meredith. Very powerful scene when you lose him in 3. Love you Sly, always will...

Sylvester Stallone was one of my heroes when I came in America in May 1990. I used to watch all the Rocky movies in the weekends and all the other classic movies. Good man, good actor, go to hart, Great inspiration for everybody. 🙂🙋🏻‍♂️👏👏👍👍👌💪💪💪😁😁😁

It's good to know that even superstars like Sylvester Stallone goes back down memory lane every now and then...What a great humble human being he is!! Those Rocky movies definitely played a role in my life growing up in the 70's and early 80's.

take me back do doo do take me back

He remains so humble and grateful , despite his massive success and wealth,....and you can feel his gratitude towards ROCKY ,..as this was the catalyst that changed his life,....and the Stallone story itself remains an inspiration to so many.......

'Eye of the tiger' ...use to train boxing to that song as a 12 year old in my mates garage. In think Rocky got every kid in Australia to train boxing lol

That's awesome to see then and now. Would love to meet you someday Rocky. Keep Punching

You are truly an inspiration I am 49 this year and I was not introduced to Rocky until I was about 13 because my mother wouldn't let me watch it, and back then the video rental people were pretty strict, anyway I eventually got to watch it immediately went out and rented Rocky 2 a few months later watched Rocky 3 at the pictures and managed to get to Watch First Blood on VCR in 1984 and I've been a fan of yours ever since. One of my greatest memories is the reaction of the crowds in the cinema during the fight scenes at the end of Rocky 4 I have never before or since experience anything like that. The real problem with seeing you get older is that it makes me realise that I'm getting older oh s*** !! Lots of love from the United Kingdom

A special time in many of our lives. It's good to remember. RIP Butkus.

"Yo Rocky!" -"Yo!" Awesome

Philadelphia morning in the background, very moving. My God, this movie is life!

I can`t even describe how much I love this movie! Even today, after seeing it for so many times I can`t put it off when it is on tv and finish watching it to the last scene. There is something magical about this movie that keeps you watching. It has a soul that just touches you, I think that is why I love it so much. Thank you Sylvester! Kindest regards from The Netherlands.

Amazing man in every way been my hero for many years love this guy and what a gentleman and an inspiration for many love from Northern Ireland sly

Love you Sylvester!

He never forgets where he came from... what a humble star! That is why he is always on the TOP!

Sly is genuine, i like him, he an't fake

Sly has been my hero since i was about 10 years old when Rocky IV came out...between Rocky and Rambo and every other movie he's done, i idolized him. Finally got the chance to see him in real life and get his autograph. He was in the Detroit area for the premier and red carpet event for Rocky Balboa and something to do with saving a boxing gym downtown. He's coming up the carpet signing autographs here and there, but it was crazy. I was yelling his name and was a couple feet from him and he couldn't even hear me to turn around. So i roll up my Rocky Balboa poster and i get just close enough to start hitting him with the poster on his shoulder/arm...he finally turned, took the poster, took my marker and signed it for me...i was one of the last autographs before he got taken back stage...one of my greatest life moments.

He is a true legend.

Thank you My Dear Rocky Balboa Sir, for sharing Rocky movies memories, specialy Rocky 5 , Love you dear Rocky Balboa Sir ❤.

Mickey: [Flashback] Ah come here Rock. My God, you're ready ain't ya? That Apollo won't know what hit him. You're gonna roll over him like a bulldozer, an Italian bulldozer. You know kid, I know how you feel about this fight that's comin' up. 'Cause I was young once, too. And I'll tell you somethin'. Well, if you wasn't here I probably wouldn't be alive today. The fact that you're here and doin' as well as you're doin' gives me-what do you call it-motivization? Huh? To stay alive, 'cause I think that people die sometimes when they don't wanna live no more. Rocky Balboa: [Present day, remembering] Nature's smarter than people think... Mickey: [Flashback] And nature is smarter than people think. Little by little we lose our friends, we lose everything. We keep losin' and losin' till we say you know, 'Oh what the hell am I livin' around here for? I got not reason to go on.' But with you kid, boy, I got a reason to go on. And I'm gonna stay alive and I will watch you make good... Rocky Balboa: [Present day, remembering] I'll never leave you. Mickey: [Flashback] and I'll never leave you until that happens. 'Cause when I leave you you'll not only know how to fight, you'll be able to take care of yourself outside the ring too, is that okay? Rocky Balboa: [Flashback] It's okay. Mickey: [Flashback] Okay. Now I got a little gift for you. Rocky Balboa: [Flashback] Ah, Mick you don't have to. Mickey: [Flashback] No, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. Hey look at that. [Takes off his golden glove necklace] Mickey: See that? This is the favorite thing that I have on this Earth. And Rocky Marciano give me that. You know what it was? His cufflink. Huh? And now I'm givin' it to you and it, it's gotta be like a, like an angel on your shoulder see? If you ever get hurt and you feel that you're goin' down this little angel is gonna whisper in your ear. It's gonna say, 'Get up you son of a bitch 'cause Mickey loves you'. Okay? Rocky Balboa: [Flashback] Thanks Mick. [Hugs him] Rocky Balboa: I love you too. Mickey: [Flashback] Go after him kid, go after him.

ROCKY! #1 GO SLY! I love how he appreciates his past work, and wants to share it with the fans! ..and yes we want to see this! Thank you Rocky!

"Yo adrian, I did it!"

Geeze something about Sly. Maybe because i grew up with him on the screen. Maybe its his life story and his constant positive attitude and perseverance. He is the peoples champion and gives hope. Love this man !!

Sylvester Stallone is so cool. : )

This is so cool. I’ve wanted to meet him since I was a little kid. Just seems like a genuine guy.

I love all the Rocky movies but 1 and 2 are very very special, they have a vibes, an aura to them that bring a feeling when I watch them, I love how they make me feel. I'm a lifelong fan of Sly. Thank you Sly for the memories and for the inspiration.

50 in November grew up watching Sylvester Stallone love what he stands for being real. Thanks Sly 🇺🇲🇮🇹🥊💪

Awesome I love this so much. Never forget where you came from. Greatest of all time. Rocky rocky rocky

History and lives were changed because of You and the Rocky films. You are apart of so many lives. Lives were touched and changed. Mine was! Mr. Kelly Taylor Southeast Texas

I'm a Rocky fan, I like all the movies if this tremendous sequence, but mainly the first one in 1976. Salutes from São Paulo - Brazil.

time devours everything and everyone but something magical has happened with rocky time has stopped at that precise moment and gives emotions that I can define as timeless.

One of the best films of all time.no joke.it was an inspirational film. Good on Sylvester for making them against the odds.

Slip the jab..slip the jab...(Rocky remembers Mick) a very emotional scene in Rocky 5 probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie

feels like a lifetime...thanks sylvie for such a nice journey....u r a father figure to me...

Rocky is one of the all time great movies. It will be celebrated for decades to come. What a great movie.

My seventeen yers old Daughter, knows that everytime she walks home and I am listening to Rocky Motivation Musik, that I am cleaning ouer place. She loves Rocky movie just as I am... This masterpiece get NEVER old. What a wonderful human being Sylvester Stallone ist... GOD bless YOU

God bless this man. He's a winner at the game of life. The Rocky films helped me so much when I was a child

I luv that he goes back where it all started

Been there twice and love it and I’m sure that back then this place was very much alive . And those retro style posters on the wall, makes me so happy !

En realidad entiendo que este no era el gimnasio en el interior, pero sólo la fachada exterior. Filmaron en otro lugar donde Mick entrenó a Rocky, pero sin duda este lugar siempre será recordado como el gimnasio Mickey Goldmill

Sly and keanu are literally the most nicests celebrities ever they never let money changed them they stayed humble and a down to earth person

Great see Stallone take the time to see . Those places . Always great what ever he does.

Stallone, Rocky, Rambo, Barney, etc., they are all awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Rocky has been my favorite movie since I first saw it when I was seven years old. It would be a surreal experience to meet or see Stallone on the street.

Very special moment thanks !!

I miss oh Mickey, and this reminds me of tommy the Duke Morrison.. what a tragic loss!!!

Loveya Sylvester, God bless you and yours.

i saw rocky at the driven i was 4 years old an i was glued to the screen. Stallonne is my all time favorite.

Yo rocky! Yo!

You'll forever be an icon in my life as well as my husband's. You're truly an inspiration!! YO Rock!! We love you!!

Great man, I'll never forget during Rocky Balboa he was filming a scene outside city hall. It was suppose show him walking into the building right before he went in to get his boxing license. Everything went wrong that day from the weather to the extras. He cut it totally out. It didn't even make deleted scenes. The only thing that does to show you any proof this happened is right before he goes up to the broad asking for a boxing license you see a outside shot of Philadelphia's City Hall with a statue of William Penn on the roof. Anyway this one extra kept looking directly into the camera. Everyone was told just walk natural as if your going about your everyday. But he kept doing and Stallone was getting aggravated, so heard him say "F it, just keep it rolling." After he shot what he wanted I screamed out to him and said Yo, Mr Stallone How ya doing? He says Not too good kid and shook my hand and nobody else. The whole time for the City I wasn't suppose to have access near them So I always thought it was cool he did that. The security kept trying push me away too because even though I worked for the City at the time I didn't have permission to be there lol.

I love this .... absolute legend

Truly good person with heart of gold didn't forget we're he came from not like the other actors in California. He's ultimate icon .

So sad to saw Stallone getting older each day. He still in good shape - no doubt. But still missing Rocky1/Rambo1 original days,and many other good action movies of 1980s-2000s.(Present days - good action movie without tons of CGI,with good scenario and action/acting like "Speed" with Keanu - is a dream that never came to reality). Full decade of Icons of action movies is slowly passing away - Jackie,Arnold,Vann Damm,Stallone,Lungren,Adkins, Kurt Russel,Seagal and so on,and we got almost no one to replace them.

The first movie I saw was Rocky 4 in 1986, a year after its release. I was 4 years young, surrounded by all my siblings and parents. What a time!

Thank to this wonderful man I grew up with an indomitable spirit, He is the number one to me after him all the good thing happens in my life.....it’s unbelievable how a person that you never met before you feel it so close to you and chance radically your whole life.....proud to be Italian proud to be born in this generation where I could see all this wonderful teaching from him ❤️ 🥊 this man is truly my main inspiration, thank you Sylvester 🙏🥺

What a hero thanks for everything ❤️

Quanti ricordi... Mi viene da piangere... Grande Stallone!!! 👍❤️

Great video!! Great memorys!!! Takes me back to happier times!!!🎥🎥🎥🎋🥇

Would have been great to see the inside of the old gym. To see how it looks today. Great vid all the same. Thank You Mr Stallone. Totally Inspirational for Every Rocky Fan!!. 😊

Mr Stallone is one of the great man in the world, love you

Sly thank you for giving us rocky and Rambo and all the others 😁

Only tears my brother.You are the best

"I never forget where I came from" That is SO important to remember when you rise all the way to the top.

A real down to earth and super cool guy.

He should buy it all up and fixem up.. as museums.

no me but I think that mikeys gym sould be a historical place. there should be a go fund me and the property should be bought and be preserved for future generations to be inspired

Stallone just seems like a really cool, chill and pleasent guy👍🏻

Wow! Gosh im going to tell everyone about this channel👍👏 Amazing! Thank you.♥🤗 Moira From England.

YO!! Your still looking great!! Love all your videos!!

Love this man. So humble and kind!!!

Must be an Awesome feeling to be called Rocky or hey Rocko while visiting Philly. #keeppunchin 🥊

I love this man!💪🥰

Think your an awesome man, love your movies and your humility. Big big Rambo fan !!!!!!

that building used to be a hardware store at one time before Hollywood discovered it. Only the exterior was used, the interior was back in Los Angeles, it was the old Main Street Gym in Downtown LA in an area called skid row and many famous boxers trained there over the years, including Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and a young Muhammad Ali {then Cassius Clay). Sadly it's now gone.

My favorite ROCKY MOVIES

Enter to the places you visit Rocky you leave us with the desire to see how they look inside!

this is gold! thank you

Who would of thought the world is a better place with rocky

Thank you Rocky

Dónde quiera que vaya en Filadelfia, la gente lo saluda como Rocky!!! Siempre serás el ídolo de nuestros corazones!!! Un saludo para ti, Sly y ojalá algún día pudiera tener el placer de saludarte en vivo!!!

EPIC !!! dammit , they should put a special museum for Stallone + Van Damme + Arnold + Dolph these are the best action actors EVER

How cool is that. Thanks Sly.

I was just there. Love Philly.
