Yo, Adrian! 'Rocky' still packs a punch as Philly favorite

It was a movie; do people think the character was a real human?

Too bad the article isn't about the art museum instead. It's fabulous and Joao could have spent a week at least discovering all the incredible art treasures inside. Did some grad study at West Chester Univ. long ago. Nice school. But if I remember correctly, the statue was in a different location last time I was there.

Should have seen the red tops when Deirdre Barlow/Rachid was sent to jail...

But yes, it was a movie and a great one at that.

@shinhiyata - yes - they moved the statue from the top of the stair to the right hand side at ground level a number of years ago. I guess the Art Museum wanted to assert itself. It is easy to find, however, and looks nice where they put it.

America needed a boost like that great movie. Bicentennial, Vietnam War finally over, sucky economy. This was how America became great, not by fascistic hatred. And Rocky was a son of Hungarian immigrants.

Da da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da! Gonna fly now!!!!!!!

Classic entertainment!!!

Too bad Hollywood is incapable of making great movies anymore.

It's just take any old classic, doll it up with tired 'modern' references, PC/New Age trappings, boorish vulgar 'jokes' and remake/remodel/recycle/rinse/repeat/bastardization. Rubbish!

Also easier for fans of Rocky who have trouble going up or down stairs to get to, I suppose.

This isn't true.

And you can chant the classic theme song associated with the classic film.
