Anyone else got teary eyes watching this? Stallone created a character loved by so many. Here we are 40 years later, still Loving every second of the video. Great work by Mike. Great tour, very knowledgeable and he can recite the lines! Yo!
I get teary every time. Not only were these films inspiring, but growing up in Cleveland, all my relatives lived in Philadelphia, and we went almost every summer for vacation. I used to go back as an adult,and always went on a walking tour of all the historical sights downtown!

My dad and I took this tour with Mike Kunda last summer and it was one if the greatest experiences ever. I'm sure we could have Googled the locations, but we felt like Rocky was giving is the tour. The Rocky knowledge that Mike has just added to the fun. I will never forget that day. Keep up the great work Mike. If we are ever In Philly, we will take the tour again.
Yes, to answer the question, yes I do. I was born and raise in this city that was great to be part of but now it has changed so dramatically that I can’t believe what it has become. But that’s a different story. Anything that pertains to any Rocky movies it sets me back to my childhood. And yes there was some great memories. Thank you to the people that put these clips together and I appreciate you very much
Grew up in Philly every time I drive by the Art Museum I see somebody sometimes a lot of somebody's running up those Damm steps. Without fail. I give Stallone a lot of credit. He really created one of the most endearing characters in movie history.
Seen 100 year old grandmas running several miles. You can run if you really want to. Just need to practice by working on your cardio. Start by walking as much as you can and eventually jog. Before you know it you'll be running.
wouldn't someone think by now after 40 plus years,sly stallone has filmed 6 films in that city( rock 4 wasn't filmed there at all) the city of brotherly love would name a street in stallones honor? stallone st..rocky road,...balboa blvd..? it's the least the city can do for all the tourism the Rocky saga has given to the city..it's past due..
I know..i love the statue..but why not name a street for sly?..he clearly added new business to the tourism in phillly and the museum..sly is good for it.5 rocky movies and now creed 2 will make 7 rocky movies filmed in that city..the statue is great..but why stop there?
AWSOME video. . Brings back memories. I lived just outside Philly in 67 and 68...69.. Saw old Eagles in Franklin Field. And the Flyers in their first year expansion team in the Spectrum!
chris52lad Yo, Don’t worry bout it!!!! lol 😂 They were probably from K & A, just joking. The Legend Lives On! Great 👍 job I’m from West Philadelphia 62nd and Callowhill the Home Of Jim’s Steaks 🥩. Jim’s is gone but the legend lives on!!
Mike Kunda you are a spitting image of rocky my friend,the best Rocky impersonator! Love the rocky movies and loved watching this video of the old rocky sites thank you sir!
Yo Michael, yous is a great impersonator! Everything is spot on: the walk, hand gestures, voice, even the facial expressions. Bravo Mike! The weird thing is that these areas of Philadelphia look the same now as they did 40 years ago.
Where did the time go, rocko, no matter what, you will always be rocko, you're worth 400m, you deserve it rocko, because being from Philadelphia you have made me proud, Rocky 1and2 are the best, more than a movie to me
This is a great way to tour a great cinematic city like Philadelphia and learn about how certain locals played key roles in the making of the "Rocky" franchise films.Thanks for the upload.
Actually I’m just the tourist in the video - Mike Kunda is the guide, does a great job, has the mannerisms down pat, will keep you entertained the whole tour!
I'm from Philly and know these locations. Still, the creator (Mike) does a great job of keeping the story entertaining with little tidbits that even locals may not know! Great job editing everything together, too, Mike!
The darling child of Philadelphia ! Philly is a great city than because of Rocky it's greater yet. As Hope in Rambo (first blood). Sylvester has a gift to give a fame. These two stories are amazing and touching. Such artists are rare and exceptional.
this video made me cry. it is my biggest wish one day to go to Philadelphia and id love to do this tour with Mike Kunda. i really hope soon to be able to go. it is my biggest wish. Thank you for uploading this beautiful video.
The first rocky is one of my favourite movies of all time, great atmosphere and grittiness. I'm surprised that some of the locations haven't changed much especially the gym, a real treat thanks.
I love watching filming locations. Sometimes everything still looks the same. I can watch videos like this for hours. Sometimes I'll take my wife and kids and take them on my own tour to different locations where movies were filmed.
Even though I'm not american, I feel like I ''grew'' up on these movies, actors like Stallone, Chuck Norris were my idols as a kid. Great to see most of those locations are still there. I will visit Philly one day I hope.
I've loved in Philly for 6 years. I love this city. So much character and personality. Every building and every street has a story. Yeah it definitely has it's bad sides, but so few America cities has its style and character.
Done those steps over 20 years ago when the statue was still at the top of the stairs... Me and my 14 year old daughter love the rocky films... so we gotta do em together.. great video and impressions fella 👌🏼👍😊
UK fan Sir your tour is more....It is THE sequel to the whole franchise. Excellent detail, very informative, with a bit of Rocky thrown in too. Very well done.
I remember watching Rocky for the first time in the winter of 1980 with my dad and brother,..we loved it, and regularly watched it together for many years after,....sadly dear dad isn't with us any more, ...but even though me and my brother are middle-aged now,...we still make time to watch it at least once of year together,....and sure dear Dad is looking down with a smile on his face watching it with us......great memories,
How'd you not go to Paulie's bar up on Somerset street and his house around the corner? It was just a block away from the bridge over the railroad tracks. It's my old neighborhood. And the bar in Rocky 4? The one with his son, a few blocks away at Kensington and Somerset. It's my old neighborhood. Used to deliver groceries around there when I was 13 in 1980.
hello .... friend greetings from Chile ..... Iquique city ... you went through this whole edition of the tour of the places of the movie, I am a number one fans of Rocky ... I was thrilled to see this video .. Congratulations .. hopefully one day I can go to the Philadelfia ... Greetings friend ..
The wife and I took our two young daughters to Philly to visit ESP (Eastern State Pen) and just had to visit the famous art museum steps - being the huge Rocky fan I've always been. It was about 109F that day...lord was it hot. After climbin' the steps, took a bunch of obligatory pics of the girls flexing/posing...we wandered into the museum to cool off in the AC. When we came out and descended the steps we saw a young black kid draggin' a big ice cooler with a piece of rope shouting, "Ice cold Gataw-wade" (with his Philly accent, lol). I imagine his sales were great that day. A memorable trip.
GREAT LOCATION CHECKOUTS. One day day I will run those steps in the grey sweats and the black beanie and throw my hands up in victory. I am an extreme movie nerd and I know I have impeccable taste.....my 3 favorite movies of all time are all 3 major game changing films......Star Wars 1977, yes I am part of the 70s generation and will ALWAYS refer to "Episode IV A New Hope" as simply Star Wars, Halloween 1978 and ROCKY 1976.......Rocky has always been an inspiration to me, in my athletic life growing up and even more so as I hit adulthood and now my middle age, when life really starts hitting you. An incredible movie, I have seen Rocky at least 500 times literally and can recite every line, and hum every note of every music cue. When Rocky is trying to convince Adrain to come upstairs when she's standing at the bottom of those stairs.......it makes your heart melt.....when she's standing there later in the red coat and he says " you're gonna walk down the street breaking hearts the way you look" always gets me......or at the very end after he's been beaten into an oblivion and the first thing he asks her is "where's your hat?" Man, one of the most unforgettable images in cinema history is Stallone at the top of the art museum stairs with his hands in the air. It deserved all 3 academy awards it won, and should have won more. Stallone's robbery at the Oscars is one of the biggest flubs of all time. Talia Shire should have won......and Burgess Meredith TRULY deserved the Oscar more than anyone......but what about Burt Young? God, there's just too many unforgettable performances in the film and so many great moments it's almost impossible to choose a favorite on anything!
It was a statue about a fictional character named Rocky Balboa. It's sad that they moved the statue because someone like you complained that it wasn't a real fighter. It's a shame but it's true. Yes smoking Joe Frazier was from Philadelphia and why they didn't put up a statue in his honor doesn't really matter to me. Ask yourself this question who will be remembered more Rocky or Joe Frazier? The movie was supposed to be inspirational and just because they made a statue showing the true character of a man who tried his best does not bring shame to any real fighters. But quite the opposite. Not trying to insult what you're saying. I still ask the question why they never did I'll never.know Maybe they should have put one up for Muhammad Ali as well. Or how about the real Rocky Marciano which they never made a statue for him either or how about sugar Ray Leonard. Now there's a class act if I ever saw one. What I'm trying to get out here is it was just a movie to bring the best out of people and show that there is hope. Take care
All the people with such negative comments I don't get it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. Would would be cool is to be able to get into some of those places now
@@shermancoleman5941 NP n BTW l forgot to mention. All my life l always heard people say Philly has the best cheese steaks. I agree & l can honestly say now that u have not had a cheese steak until u had a official cheese steak from Philly. I went to Geno's with my girl n it was SO GOOD l ate mine then ate her's LMAO. If U haven't had a Cheese steak from Philly then u haven't had one Yet, cause I've eaten cheese steaks in LA, NY, M.I.A, ATL, NC NJ, Now that I've had one from Philly none of them aren't even in the same vicinity of being close to one from Philly. I think South Jersey is about the closest u gonna have to a Philly, but still can't compete with it LoL.
True Philly does have the best chessesteaks but i don't like Pats or Geno's lol not for me but u need to try Jim's steaks on South st the next time u come to Philly its soo good believe me
With out a doubt one of the best motion pictures ever .went to see it at the movies with family the hole theater was on the edge of there seats Black n White Master peice! Great sound trak too.
All of Philly doesnt look like that..Kensington was heart of mills and factories..when manufacturing jobs left 200 ×500 story factories go vacant and take the neighborhood with it..But it can change in a matter of blocks. Half a mile from Mickeys gum there are 2mil homes...thats Philly
I went through these locations yesterday, and the drug reigns, thousands of drug addicts in every street and a lot of dirt, became a cracoland. So sad! 😢
@@AdrianodePaula2 Yeah, its all heroin and you buy it right out in the open on the street, it's crazy and I feel for the people living there that are trying to live normal lives... It's the "walking dead" down K&A!.
Goddam right brother. A proud Kenzo here,born and raised around the corner from 'Rocky's house'. Was actually there watching them film Rocky II. It still gets my Irish up when people talk bad about us Kenzos. Haha. You're right, it's a rat hole, but it's our rat hole....Go Birds!
Neat video.I met Rocky in Claremont, California 1985 when Sly Stallone was in town filming his movie "Over the Top" Rocky is a real cool guy.I got to shake Rocky"s hand and take my picture with him and get his autogragph too.
Per capita, it has the highest opioid addiction population in the US. That in turn leads to high crime. I’m very empathetic and know that addiction is a disease, but would never suggest anyone visit the area.
Anyone else got teary eyes watching this?
Stallone created a character loved by so many. Here we are 40 years later, still Loving every second of the video. Great work by Mike.
Great tour, very knowledgeable and he can recite the lines! Yo!
I get teary every time. Not only were these films inspiring, but growing up in Cleveland, all my relatives lived in Philadelphia, and we went almost every summer for vacation. I used to go back as an adult,and always went on a walking tour of all the historical sights downtown!
8:02 ...yo
Such a shame these locations have turned out worse, they had so much character back in the 70s
The soundtrack music from Rocky is probably the most inspirational you’ll ever come across!
Rocky 4 soundtrack with Eye of the Tiger is the Best!!!

Mike Paphides is it still available today
How can I book a tour with him?...
T- Terminator yea I wanna know how to to
Anyone else get teary listening to that music
You know brother, sad when you look back at better times 🤝
Yassss
its never been outdone in any other movie in my opinion! A story of Love and perseverance with brilliant music to match!
Yes, to answer the question, yes I do.
I was born and raise in this city that was great to be part of but now it has changed so dramatically that I can’t believe what it has become. But that’s a different story.
Anything that pertains to any Rocky movies it sets me back to my childhood. And yes there was some great memories.

greg taylor and made philly itself an iconic character
I just told a similar story on anouther comment
@@wnerko7484 philly was a character long before Rocky, but I know what you mean
I run up and down those steps at night when I jog, its a great work out lol
@@bunbunson27 I saw you the other night. Are you ok?😂 you were wheezing pretty badly loljk
You had me fooled. For the first minute or so I thought you were the real Stallone 🤣. Excellent impersonation and great video.
Me too
This man look like Rocky’s brother lol good video
Its his brother
His brother is Frank lol
I thought the same to
Walking up those steps is on my bucket list. My running days are behind me.

One step at a time brother.
@@farendor4780 1 step yes! 💯 ♥ 🙏
I thought I'd have a problem as I recently broke my foot but made damn sure I done it....a visit to Philly isn't the same without doing that.
I did it last year, totally worth it
would it be a crime if they put the MIGHTY MICK'S GYM sign back up on that old building and left it there? tourist obviously love that ****.
i was thinking that man, would be good for the area.
Great idea
That would be so bad ass! We should start a petition!
Someone might be "offended"...
Knowing these studios they would probably charge or sue the owner of the building to do it.
wouldn't someone think by now after 40 plus years,sly stallone has filmed 6 films in that city( rock 4 wasn't filmed there at all) the city of brotherly love would name a street in stallones honor? stallone st..rocky road,...balboa blvd..? it's the least the city can do for all the tourism the Rocky saga has given to the city..it's past due..

I know..i love the statue..but why not name a street for sly?..he clearly added new business to the tourism in phillly and the museum..sly is good for it.5 rocky movies and now creed 2 will make 7 rocky movies filmed in that city..the statue is great..but why stop there?
@@brianstudnicky9970 I agree, Stallone Ave. sounds good!
@@brianstudnicky9970 officially name the city segment of I-95 the Stallone Expressway.
Make sure they're supervised when they do it. You don't want them calling it Rambo road by mistake
Rocky one of my favorite movie of all the time
AWSOME video. .
Brings back memories.
I lived just outside Philly in 67 and 68...69..
Saw old Eagles in Franklin Field.
And the Flyers in their first year expansion team in the Spectrum!
Mike's mannerisms are like Sly too. Great impersonator.
Loved the video! Very nostalgic!
beautiful,i'm from Brazil and one day i gonna meet this city,i love Rocky since i was 8 years old.

The locations look like the same then and now.
I like it !

@@shermancoleman5941 l gotta try n remember that although l know I'm gonna 4get 😁
top vid thank u happy times
Good evening from Japan, Sir! Thanks so much for sharing this video and story! It's really so interesting.
Yo father carmine what the hell happened to the neighborhood. ..
Robert C lmao
Urban blight 😉
Decay and disinvestment caused by block busting realtors and later deindustrialization.
A lot of that area is being rebuilt now. New homes and condos everywhere. White people taking over 😁
It's called heroin, really fucking up American life's
With out a doubt one of the best motion pictures ever .went to see it at the movies with family the hole theater was on the edge of there seats Black n White Master peice! Great sound trak too.
Rocky wasn't in black and white.

Really cool video 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love it... love this video!😀 thanks you actually look like Rocky👊👏👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
The city still looks the same or even worse 30-40+ years later lol
All of Philly doesnt look like that..Kensington was heart of mills and factories..when manufacturing jobs left 200 ×500 story factories go vacant and take the neighborhood with it..But it can change in a matter of blocks. Half a mile from Mickeys gum there are 2mil homes...thats Philly
THE BEST VIDEO, THANK YOU FROM ARGENTINA!!! ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY.
Dude it seems the City employees of Phily gone vacation for long time!
No one picks trashes up over there?
Baltimore is the same way man they treat there neighborhood like a dump
Would love to see all. The sights from movie. My favorite movies of all time
One of my favorite scenes is the one where..." Hey Rock, remember what I told you... What did you tell me...? Take her to the zoo..."
Estupendo y emotivo vídeo Felicidades! Excellent job ! Congratulations
Funny, after about 40 years everything looks the same.
Not me, I was 25 back then, not much left of the good looking guy I used to be.
Not funny
I went through these locations yesterday, and the drug reigns, thousands of drug addicts in every street and a lot of dirt, became a cracoland. So sad! 😢
@@AdrianodePaula2 Yeah, its all heroin and you buy it right out in the open on the street, it's crazy and I feel for the people living there that are trying to live normal lives... It's the "walking dead" down K&A!.
Actually worse than before
Love these videos where you see how those places look today 👍
This guy is like a parody version of Rocky AKA Sylvester Stallone.
This is great over 25yrs later! Go Rocky!
I'm from Philly so I can say its rat hole buts its our rat hole.. Go birds
Looks great to me. Proper characterful
Cheating ass chickens. Mad love from Boston!
Goddam right brother. A proud Kenzo here,born and raised around the corner from 'Rocky's house'. Was actually there watching them film Rocky II. It still gets my Irish up when people talk bad about us Kenzos. Haha. You're right, it's a rat hole, but it's our rat hole....Go Birds!
Neat video.I met Rocky in Claremont, California 1985 when Sly Stallone was in town filming his movie "Over the Top" Rocky is a real cool guy.I got to shake Rocky"s hand and take my picture with him and get his autogragph too.
Trust me, you DO NOT want to go into Kensington today !
Why? Is this a dangerous neighborhood?
Per capita, it has the highest opioid addiction population in the US. That in turn leads to high crime. I’m very empathetic and know that addiction is a disease, but would never suggest anyone visit the area.
The tv show “Intervention” just did a 5-part series about this neighborhood for the reason stated above.
