On location in Philly.
The first two shots below feature my two boys channeling Rocky Balboa at the museum steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The next few shots are from the Italian Market in South Philly again where the training scenes in Rocky and Rocky II were shot with Rocky running past the vendors on 9th. (See the previous South Philly post for more pix from the Italian Market including Pat’s King of Steaks where Rocky had a bite to eat with loan shark Tony Gazzo.)
Next we go to what was Rocky’s house in Kensington, towards north Philadelphia in a very dodgy neighborhood.
Finally, back at the museum to watch the people lining up by the statue for a picture.
There are many sites about the filming locations; this one is particularly good but there are certainly others. If you ever do the Rocky sites in Philadelphia I would suggest skipping Kensington. Really.
