It was a very quick weekend, I had a little less than 48 hours in Philly and barely slept a wink, but I had one heck of a great time creating this video! This one was at the top of my list to create and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to return to Philadelphia and track down (and go the distance) .. these locations. Thank you all for watching I will put a link to the last Rocky filming locations video that I created in Philadelphia, in case you missed it.. Keep on punching my friends! ruclips.net/video/2Lho081eqUQ/видео.html
Great video and extensive as always. Quick question for you - clearly the area seems rather interesting to say the least. Outside of comments of what are you doing? Did you have anything physical happen to you? I wanna go there and these locations for myself. I already know it's a different part of the country. I'm also trying to find a smaller camera so I wouldn't draw too much attention towards me. I have a GoPro but maybe there's something smaller on the market. If you know of any please let me know. Have a good day.

How sad that the locations where this movie was filmed are taken over by the homeless. The city of Philadelphia should declare these places cultural heritage of humanity
"HEY YO, Father Carmine! It's me, Tampa Jay!" LMFAO. I loved seeing you hanging out in my city! I live only 45 minutes from it, next time you're in town hit me with a "YO!"
I lived in an area called Girard Estates which was right around the corner from Lambert Street. I was 8 years old and I heard Rocky 2 was filming. During that stick ball scene, I was off camera in the distance along with a lot of other people who showed up to watch. If I recall, Sly was very generous with his time, saying hello to everyone. I took pictures that day and I know I have them but it's just a matter of digging through the old albums! Thanks for you video, great work.
I'm so proud of you! I know this was a challenging one.. from all of that research to not having much time in Philly and the complications you came across, to the days of editing the footage... you work so hard for these videos and it SHOWS! Your intro was fantastic, I actually legit got goosebumps! The zoo looks so cool, even just the little bit you showed. I always wanted to visit that zoo so I will have to make that happen soon. Maybe we can go together :) Glad you found your flamingoooss, even if they were in a window haha! "....................... idk if this is it" lol! And the condominiums and Father Carmine scene, haha! So great babe, this is one of the many things that sets you apart from the rest!! Did I miss the puppies in the window or did they not make the cut? They were so cute! The Nordstrom Rack was pretty amazing too, crazy those pillars are still in there! Awwwww... the plantssss!! Great job babe, it is a Hoya!! Thank you for thinking of me
Yo Cris the girl! You’re amazing. Thank you for watching Bella for me while I was off tracking these locations down. I’m happy you enjoyed it. Wow that weekend was a blur…
This Video made me want to go to Philly,i know not all the locations are available nowadays,due to progress nowadays,but I am definitely going to run up those steps,and say a few words,thank you for posting this brother. KeepPunchin🥊
As a native of Philadelphia, I was even impressed with how much you put into this video TJ as well as the great job you did on the original Rocky two years ago. That neighborhood where Rocky lived is a lot rougher than when you were there the first time, so glad you got the footage you needed and got out of there. By the way, the interior of the church where Rocky and Adrian's wedding took place was actually in Los Angeles. at the old St. Joseph's Catholic Church which stood at 218 E 12th in the downtown area. A lot of people thought it was in Philly since the exterior was shot there including myself until I saw an old photo and it matched up. The church burnt down in 1983 after an electrical short in the wiring under the floorboards. A new church was built in it's place.
Thanks buddy . I was scratching my head at where they filmed the wedding scenes, I knew it was in LA but didn’t know what church, thanks for letting us know. Thanks for watching man I’m happy you enjoyed my experience
Your attention to detail, respect for communities and love for the world are always present in your videos. This one is by far the best. Thank you and keep it up.
Try growing up around it lmao cool enough I grew up 2 blocks away from Micks Gym and I had the exact same address as Rocky 2313, not as sketchy where I lived but pretty close to the Zombies/Crackheads lol My Dad and my uncle are also running with Sly at one point they're front and center and he had me screenshot it so I could print out a poster of it for him lol Us Philadelphians treat Rocky like a superhero
Cool video! And thanks for the support and the words at the end! No electricity today in Kyiv, but i still have 50% on my phone, and i'm glad i've bumped on to this video!
This was awesome! I was a huge Rocky fan and to see how everything's pretty much the same as it was back in the 70s is great to see. You did a perfect job at capturing all these places and showing off parts of Philly. Thank you!

THAT was really cool! PLEASE...tell us that you went into Independence Hall!!!! This would have been a great opportunity for you to do a two-fer like you did with the Godfather and Ghostbusters II filming. That is if you ever wanted to do a National Treasure filming location video! Work your way up the seaboard. Also beginning to think you need to "hire" some security with these places. Excellent job once again and thank you for showing and sharing with us these locations!
Hey Jay great video and welcome to Philly! The Spectrum and The Wells Fargo center actually existed at the same time. Once the Center was built the spectrum was used for concerts and minor league sports. Xfinity Live is now in the foot print of the old spectrum and actually has some old statues that used to sit outside the spectrum. Hope you enjoyed your time in Philly. Come back to Citizens bank great spot to catch a ballgame.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this bring back so many great memories! Now living in Missouri but some day I’ll return home!! Thanks for the video Jay and keep punching Philly
Well done Jay! That was a great sequel to your spectacular Rocky I filming locations video. I'm so glad you did this. I've made two trips to Philly myself for Rocky filming locations. The first was in 10/19 for Rocky I and the second was for Rocky Balboa in 10/21. Like yourself, I noticed how much worse the neighborhood around Rocky's apartment has become. Not that it was ever good to begin with, but the second time I went I felt so unsafe I drove right past Rocky's apartment and didn't bother to get out of my car. The same for little Marie's Rocky Balboa apartment. I didn't feel safe enough to stop and couldn't get out of the area fast enough. I've decided any future trips I make to Philly will primarily focus on running the Rocky steps and I will stay out of the hood. Thank you for your videos. Keep up the good work!
Excellent point you brought up about Sly's pec tear. He tore his pec training for Rocky 2 and had to change the entire film so that Mickey had him fight right handed to supposedly protect Rocky's bad eye, but in reality it was so he would be jabbing with his left hand as he couldn't move his right after the pec tear. Everyone thought the shoot would have to be cancelled after the injury but Sly had the will(and writing ability) to make it work.
Hey, Champa Jay! I love your Rocky filming locations and your first one is my sentimental favorite because it's the best but, also the first video I saw and immediately subscribed to and this one keeps punching II! 😉👌 Thank you so much for all you do! You and your hard work are appreciated muchly, buddy!!🤘😊 I don't know why I just noticed Adrian's grave has a 111 , Jan. 11 and Paulie's has 222 Feb. 22! Got both Rocky and Rambo vibes on this ending! montage! Thanks for the words at the end. I needed that. 😇
I remember seeing the Rocky Statue for the first time.It use to sit outside the Philadelphia Spectrum. As a kid,we would climb up the statue and sit on the top of the statue.When the 76ers won the world championship, someone put a 76ers championship t-shirt on the statue.lol 👍Rocky Forever !!!!
Tampa Jay, great job on the filming locations. Born and raised in Philly I know all about the Kensington neighborhoods, back in the day I use to live in Kensington. Im glad to see you made it out ok .... I know Kensington Ave is not what it use to be .... I can remember back in the day driving to work while they were filming Rocky 3. Fun fact my mother almost had a part in one of the Rocky movies, I wanna say #5. I am a subscriber to your channel along with some of your friends as well, Adam The Woo, World Of Micah, Paging Mr Morrow, Jackie Super Enthused .... I will be making my way to Orlando in September, If I should run into you I will say hello and maybe we can colab and do a video at one of the WDW parks.
This is the first time I have come across you . The video is so great and the Info and feeling is just brilliant...and the message at the end. Nice one man. Take care
I and a friend of mine were among the kids that were picked out from the Italian market and brought over to the parkway to shoot the final run sequence up the steps. We did about 22 takes running behind Sly toward the art museum. He kept stopping and having to yell cut because the kids up front kept running too fast and were passing him. He was upset after the 3rd or 4th take of having to stop because the kids wouldn't listen to his direction. Me and my friend were among the kids in the very back but it was a fun day. Celebrated later on with a delicious Geno's cheesesteak and cannolis from termini bakery. Btw, the Wells Fargo Center and the Philadelphia spectrum were on two separate plots of land about 300 yards from one another. The spectrum was located to the north of where the Wells Fargo Center now sits. Directly left of the Xfinity bar complex but on the same plot of land. Directly across the street was veterans stadium further to the north. The Wells Fargo arena currently sits at the Northern end of what was once JFK stadium where live aid took place. Also home to the Army-Navy games for decades.
Such a fantastic video Jay!!!! So entertaining, so informational, so passionate……. Great great video!! I loved your running sequence! So clever and well done! Congratulations!!!!! Hey, you’re pushing 50k subscribers!!! Time to celebrate! 👏👏🎈🎈🎈
You are such a big fan and I feel inspired by your videos. Your first Rocky video was so amazingly well done compared to others. I couldn’t wait to see that one coming 👍
This was such an awesome video! You went above and beyond to find filming locations and the running you did at the end! I loved all the Rocky movies, so this meant so much. The movies had some great songs that became popular in their own right. Yes, they were inspirational!
Awsome shots from probably the most famous franchise movies i grew up watching Rocky you never disappoint 😀the ending was fantastic had good laugh and a smile 😃 I can't wait for the next adventure bro And again you make the videos really interesting and funny jay 😄 Good job my friend Catch you again sooon 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲👍
Man watched this whole thing 2-3 times and still cuddos on the amazing footage and research on making this videos- awesome work- Might I say, you have major balls to go into that side of town where his old apartment was.. sketchy as hell over there. Great work man!!
I also had cousins who lived on lambert st. And also where Rocky bought the trans am was actually a real dealer ship named Pacifico Ford. My dad bought a new 1959 Ford galaxy 500 from them. Again keep up the great work.
I really enjoyed your video it was really cool you being up there checking out all the locations of Rocky 2 especially seeing the Rocky statue I always wanted to be able to see that one day and I liked the fact that you made this a long video showing as much of the locations that you did. Great job on the editing and all the hard work it takes to put these videos out and the Ninja Turtles on the wall was awesome as well and I like that you did the Rocky run as well that's definitely a dream come true to do.
What a video. I loved the Rocky series...hey Jay Eddy from Myrtle Beach SC again. truly loved this and the ending was spectacular , actually entire video was great, Take care. I will continue watching brother.
Just found your account yesterday, & posted huge accolades regarding your charismatic tour of my fave film of all time. I also said in the comment, “maybe you could return & do 2 locations someday, LITTLE DID I KNOW..you had already done ✔️ Love it so much! SICE NOTE: I noticed a pet store across the street from Adrian’s shop she worked at. Looked like was or almost next door to Mickey’s Gym. This was in the still you took of the indentation in the brick of Mickey’s, Rock & Dog sidewalk walking beside Mickey’s. SO STRANGE…that a pet shop wld be also right across the street, like 29 paces away haha! AM I RIGHT Jay, that I saw that? Was it still there today? Kept waiting for a good camera angle. WHAT A SHAME whomever is running this HISTORIC city is letting it rot.. One wld think the mayor/commissioners/prosecutors wld get vagrancy, gang & violent, & felony crime ridden areas under control, or fear the next voting year. SADLY, this is a current issue in bout all big cities
It was a very quick weekend, I had a little less than 48 hours in Philly and barely slept a wink, but I had one heck of a great time creating this video! This one was at the top of my list to create and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to return to Philadelphia and track down (and go the distance) .. these locations. Thank you all for watching I will put a link to the last Rocky filming locations video that I created in Philadelphia, in case you missed it.. Keep on punching my friends! ruclips.net/video/2Lho081eqUQ/видео.html
Great video and extensive as always. Quick question for you - clearly the area seems rather interesting to say the least. Outside of comments of what are you doing? Did you have anything physical happen to you? I wanna go there and these locations for myself. I already know it's a different part of the country. I'm also trying to find a smaller camera so I wouldn't draw too much attention towards me. I have a GoPro but maybe there's something smaller on the market. If you know of any please let me know. Have a good day.
Thank you so much brother u did amazing 👊 🤜 🫂

How sad that the locations where this movie was filmed are taken over by the homeless. The city of Philadelphia should declare these places cultural heritage of humanity
My favorite Rocky film 😀🎥
I don't find much worth watching on RUclips these days. But then I found this. 👍💪
"HEY YO, Father Carmine! It's me, Tampa Jay!" LMFAO. I loved seeing you hanging out in my city! I live only 45 minutes from it, next time you're in town hit me with a "YO!"
Yo buddy thank you for watching love your Philly
I lived in an area called Girard Estates which was right around the corner from Lambert Street. I was 8 years old and I heard Rocky 2 was filming. During that stick ball scene, I was off camera in the distance along with a lot of other people who showed up to watch. If I recall, Sly was very generous with his time, saying hello to everyone. I took pictures that day and I know I have them but it's just a matter of digging through the old albums! Thanks for you video, great work.
wow, be great to find them and put them up somewhere for Rocky geeks like me to see 👀
Great story. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm so proud of you! I know this was a challenging one.. from all of that research to not having much time in Philly and the complications you came across, to the days of editing the footage... you work so hard for these videos and it SHOWS! Your intro was fantastic, I actually legit got goosebumps! The zoo looks so cool, even just the little bit you showed. I always wanted to visit that zoo so I will have to make that happen soon. Maybe we can go together :) Glad you found your flamingoooss, even if they were in a window haha! "....................... idk if this is it" lol! And the condominiums and Father Carmine scene, haha! So great babe, this is one of the many things that sets you apart from the rest!! Did I miss the puppies in the window or did they not make the cut? They were so cute! The Nordstrom Rack was pretty amazing too, crazy those pillars are still in there! Awwwww... the plantssss!! Great job babe, it is a Hoya!! Thank you for thinking of me
Next time he’s in Philadelphia you need to remind him to call his old buddy Joe. He always forgets!
Yo Cris the girl! You’re amazing. Thank you for watching Bella for me while I was off tracking these locations down. I’m happy you enjoyed it. Wow that weekend was a blur…
Excellent job amigo!! Thank you 👍🏼🙏🏼
Brilliant!! And thanks for the warning about the neighbors. Lol. I was wondering about that.
Great Job and lecture of our community and City.. I'm definitely a SUBSCRIBER 💯💯...Omar from West Philly 🤝👍
Thank you!
This Video made me want to go to Philly,i know not all the locations are available nowadays,due to progress nowadays,but I am definitely going to run up those steps,and say a few words,thank you for posting this brother.
KeepPunchin🥊
Good job, thanks from Poland.
Pozdrawiam Brooklyn NY 😎...
As a native of Philadelphia, I was even impressed with how much you put into this video TJ as well as the great job you did on the original Rocky two years ago. That neighborhood where Rocky lived is a lot rougher than when you were there the first time, so glad you got the footage you needed and got out of there. By the way, the interior of the church where Rocky and Adrian's wedding took place was actually in Los Angeles. at the old St. Joseph's Catholic Church which stood at 218 E 12th in the downtown area. A lot of people thought it was in Philly since the exterior was shot there including myself until I saw an old photo and it matched up. The church burnt down in 1983 after an electrical short in the wiring under the floorboards. A new church was built in it's place.
Thanks buddy . I was scratching my head at where they filmed the wedding scenes, I knew it was in LA but didn’t know what church, thanks for letting us know. Thanks for watching man I’m happy you enjoyed my experience
Your attention to detail, respect for communities and love for the world are always present in your videos. This one is by far the best. Thank you and keep it up.
You’re brave to tackle some of those sketchy areas😧
The show must go on
@@TampaJay I know! Didn't they give you static at Rocky's apartment in your first Rocky video, now this? Brave indeed, Kind Sir!
Please the only maybe sketchy area was where the gym is.
Try growing up around it lmao cool enough I grew up 2 blocks away from Micks Gym and I had the exact same address as Rocky 2313, not as sketchy where I lived but pretty close to the Zombies/Crackheads lol My Dad and my uncle are also running with Sly at one point they're front and center and he had me screenshot it so I could print out a poster of it for him lol Us Philadelphians treat Rocky like a superhero
You are the man because you went to Kensington Philadelphia good work!
My second visit, was a little different than the first. Thank you
Hello Tampa Jay and Cris the girl !!!!!!! My husband cousion was the kid running with Rocky in the Eagles jacket .I am from Phila
Whoa that’s amazing I know just the kid tell him I said hello
You knocked 🥊🥊🥊 this one out of the park 👍
Thank you!!
The homeless have been moved around Kensington from Fishtown. You were in the heart of it. If you were to keep going north you would have seen more.
I just love the Rocky movies!! Thank you for doing this vlog. What an awesome way to end it
Thanks so much for all your efforts. This is absolutely amazing. All the best to you, mate.
Thanks Jay, always liked Rocky 2.
Thanks John
Thanks for the awesome video,
Cool video!
And thanks for the support and the words at the end!
No electricity today in Kyiv, but i still have 50% on my phone, and i'm glad i've bumped on to this video!
That is so cool to see such a big piece of history.your right there so cool
Love Philly lots of history
This was awesome! I was a huge Rocky fan and to see how everything's pretty much the same as it was back in the 70s is great to see. You did a perfect job at capturing all these places and showing off parts of Philly. Thank you!
Thanks Andrew

THAT was really cool! PLEASE...tell us that you went into Independence Hall!!!! This would have been a great opportunity for you to do a two-fer like you did with the Godfather and Ghostbusters II filming. That is if you ever wanted to do a National Treasure filming location video! Work your way up the seaboard. Also beginning to think you need to "hire" some security with these places. Excellent job once again and thank you for showing and sharing with us these locations!
Thanks Shawn
Great movie. Rocky the underdog. We all love the underdog. Thanks TJ
A masterpiece movie from the 70s. This movie will never get old. It will always be a classic movie.
You are the best in filming locations by far...on RUclips Jay...at least for me...please keep giving us wonderful memories...god bless 👈
That’s a tremendous comment! Means a ton to me. Thank you! Much ahead with filing locations!
The montages was epic! Loved it!
Thank you
Hey Jay great video and welcome to Philly! The Spectrum and The Wells Fargo center actually existed at the same time. Once the Center was built the spectrum was used for concerts and minor league sports. Xfinity Live is now in the foot print of the old spectrum and actually has some old statues that used to sit outside the spectrum. Hope you enjoyed your time in Philly. Come back to Citizens bank great spot to catch a ballgame.
Yea came here to say this. The Wells Fargo center is where jfk field was. I think xfinity live is where the spectrum was
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this bring back so many great memories! Now living in Missouri but some day I’ll return home!! Thanks for the video Jay and keep punching Philly
The very best of all the Rocky movies, thank you 🥊
Rocky II Rules! 😁👍🏻😎😍😁👍🏻
It was good, a good sequel after rocky 1.
Well done Jay! That was a great sequel to your spectacular Rocky I filming locations video. I'm so glad you did this. I've made two trips to Philly myself for Rocky filming locations. The first was in 10/19 for Rocky I and the second was for Rocky Balboa in 10/21. Like yourself, I noticed how much worse the neighborhood around Rocky's apartment has become. Not that it was ever good to begin with, but the second time I went I felt so unsafe I drove right past Rocky's apartment and didn't bother to get out of my car. The same for little Marie's Rocky Balboa apartment. I didn't feel safe enough to stop and couldn't get out of the area fast enough. I've decided any future trips I make to Philly will primarily focus on running the Rocky steps and I will stay out of the hood. Thank you for your videos. Keep up the good work!
Excellent point you brought up about Sly's pec tear. He tore his pec training for Rocky 2 and had to change the entire film so that Mickey had him fight right handed to supposedly protect Rocky's bad eye, but in reality it was so he would be jabbing with his left hand as he couldn't move his right after the pec tear. Everyone thought the shoot would have to be cancelled after the injury but Sly had the will(and writing ability) to make it work.
This is great! This popped up on my RUclips TV as I was getting ready for work...now I'll be late because it's so good! Lol. Thanks alot Jay!! Haha
Rocky 2 is my favorite Rocky film! I appreciate this video and you good sir. I enjoyed every second of it.
Nice presentation. You covered some historic movie spots. Thanks.
Hey, Champa Jay! I love your Rocky filming locations and your first one is my sentimental favorite because it's the best but, also the first video I saw and immediately subscribed to and this one keeps punching II! 😉👌 Thank you so much for all you do! You and your hard work are appreciated muchly, buddy!!🤘😊 I don't know why I just noticed Adrian's grave has a 111 , Jan. 11 and Paulie's has 222 Feb. 22! Got both Rocky and Rambo vibes on this ending! montage! Thanks for the words at the end. I needed that. 😇
I remember seeing the Rocky Statue for the first time.It use to sit outside the Philadelphia Spectrum. As a kid,we would climb up the statue and sit on the top of the statue.When the 76ers won the world championship, someone put a 76ers championship t-shirt on the statue.lol 👍Rocky Forever !!!!
Hi,Thank You very mutch,for that awesome report.,than i remember my youth,kind regards👌👌🖖🖖
Tampa Jay, great job on the filming locations. Born and raised in Philly I know all about the Kensington neighborhoods, back in the day I use to live in Kensington. Im glad to see you made it out ok .... I know Kensington Ave is not what it use to be .... I can remember back in the day driving to work while they were filming Rocky 3. Fun fact my mother almost had a part in one of the Rocky movies, I wanna say #5. I am a subscriber to your channel along with some of your friends as well, Adam The Woo, World Of Micah, Paging Mr Morrow, Jackie Super Enthused .... I will be making my way to Orlando in September, If I should run into you I will say hello and maybe we can colab and do a video at one of the WDW parks.
Thanks George really love Philly man feels like home
Awesome, Tks for the videos
This is the first time I have come across you . The video is so great and the Info and feeling is just brilliant...and the message at the end. Nice one man. Take care
Man I used to love the Flyers back in the 80s during the time they played at the Spectrum. They had a nice rivalry with the Oilers going too.
JAY, YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB,WE THANK YOU FOR THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART.MAY GOD BLESS ALWAYS BLESS YOU.
Epic!!! Awesome once again Jay!!!
The fights were the LA Sports Arena which was right next to the Coliseum. It’s been torn down and replaced by the soccer stadium for LA FC
That montage was everything! Thank you Tampa Jay. You're awesome!
Thank you
loved Rocky II thanks for the location video it was amazing
Thank you for joining me. Happy to hear you enjoyed my yogurt. Such a great film.
I and a friend of mine were among the kids that were picked out from the Italian market and brought over to the parkway to shoot the final run sequence up the steps. We did about 22 takes running behind Sly toward the art museum. He kept stopping and having to yell cut because the kids up front kept running too fast and were passing him. He was upset after the 3rd or 4th take of having to stop because the kids wouldn't listen to his direction. Me and my friend were among the kids in the very back but it was a fun day. Celebrated later on with a delicious Geno's cheesesteak and cannolis from termini bakery.
Btw, the Wells Fargo Center and the Philadelphia spectrum were on two separate plots of land about 300 yards from one another. The spectrum was located to the north of where the Wells Fargo Center now sits. Directly left of the Xfinity bar complex but on the same plot of land. Directly across the street was veterans stadium further to the north. The Wells Fargo arena currently sits at the Northern end of what was once JFK stadium where live aid took place. Also home to the Army-Navy games for decades.
Wow cool memory! Thank you for sharing.
That’s amazing
That's awesome! It's been way too long since I've had a geno's cheesesteak, and the delicious whole cherry peppers 🤔😋

Excellent, Thank you Tampa Jay 🎉
Love your channel. Rocky Rocky
Thank you
Amazing job jay!
Seen some of the places in person as well, was blown away by Kensington. Literally had no idea how bad it was, very sad
Man watched this whole thing 2-3 times and still cuddos on the amazing footage and research on making this videos- awesome work-
Might I say, you have major balls to go into that side of town where his old apartment was.. sketchy as hell over there.
Great work man!!
It was fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you Robert
Great job! Keep up the good work and keep on punchin'!
Thank you Brandon
wow....fantastic job! lots of research...you would make a great detective!
I also had cousins who lived on lambert st. And also where Rocky bought the trans am was actually a real dealer ship named Pacifico Ford. My dad bought a new 1959 Ford galaxy 500 from them. Again keep up the great work.
Welcome Jay to the city of Brotherly Love I remember when the statue was at the old Spectrum Philly has so much history Enjoy your stay Pennsylvania
Im a big fan of Rocky movies !
Nice job man. I enjoyed this. I may swing by a few of these places next time I'm up for an Eagles game. Keep it up!
Thanks Bob! Hope you make it out there. Go the distance!
I really enjoyed your video it was really cool you being up there checking out all the locations of Rocky 2 especially seeing the Rocky statue I always wanted to be able to see that one day and I liked the fact that you made this a long video showing as much of the locations that you did. Great job on the editing and all the hard work it takes to put these videos out and the Ninja Turtles on the wall was awesome as well and I like that you did the Rocky run as well that's definitely a dream come true to do.
What a video. I loved the Rocky series...hey Jay Eddy from Myrtle Beach SC again. truly loved this and the ending was spectacular , actually entire video was great, Take care. I will continue watching brother.
Thank you Eddy
great vid, fantastic ending !!!! 😀💪
Thank you Joe
Just found your account yesterday, & posted huge accolades regarding your charismatic tour of my fave film of all time. I also said in the comment, “maybe you could return & do 2 locations someday, LITTLE DID I KNOW..you had already done ✔️
Love it so much!
SICE NOTE: I noticed a pet store across the street from Adrian’s shop she worked at. Looked like was or almost next door to Mickey’s Gym. This was in the still you took of the indentation in the brick of Mickey’s, Rock & Dog sidewalk walking beside Mickey’s. SO STRANGE…that a pet shop wld be also right across the street, like 29 paces away haha!
AM I RIGHT Jay, that I saw that? Was it still there today? Kept waiting for a good camera angle.
WHAT A SHAME whomever is running this HISTORIC city is letting it rot.. One wld think the mayor/commissioners/prosecutors wld get vagrancy, gang & violent, & felony crime ridden areas under control, or fear the next voting year. SADLY, this is a current issue in bout all big cities
I'm cracking up at the running scenes at the end... you're a trip ..I'll hook you guys up here in Gatlinburg TN..trust me
I was just watching Rocky 2 a few days ago, Thankyou for making these video. 😀
I love all your videos cause I'm a Rocky fan 🥊hello from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Thank you my friend
